rounds are required to be fired with great rapidity an auxiliary storage res ervoir is used, charged with air com pressed to twice the pressure to be used in the gun. After each discharge the air is drawn from these to restore the pressure in the firing reservoir. Com- pressed air is furnished by means of some standard air compressor. The shell, which is made as light as is con- sistent with strength, is. of seamless brass. It is kept in the proper tre- jectory by means of tail tube to which are attached spiral vanes, and it is centered in the bore and kept from metallic contact with the same by means of pins in the head, by & leather gas check at the rear end of the cylindrical part and by projections riyeted to the spiral vanes of the tail. The conical point, while strong enough to resist crushing from impact with the water, is so thin as to readily crush when striking a solid target. The charge in the shell is uncamphorated explosive gelatine with a core of dyna- mite. When handled with care it is as safe from accidental explosion as gum powder. Fitted to the shell is an cleo tric fuse, so arranged as to explode after striking a target or descending be- low the water, current being started by wetting the elements of battery carried in the shell. The 15-inch gun is about 55 feet long and will throw shells containing 600 pounds of ex- plosive gelatine to a distance of mile. The gun can be loaded by hydraulic machinery in 30 seconds"
 Edmund Louis Gray Zalinsli was born in Kurnick, Prussian Poland, De cember IS, 1s49. Four years later he was brought to this country and was educated in the schools of Seneca Falls and Syracuse. In 1884 he entered the volunteer service as aid-de-camp to Gen. Miles, now known as the Indian fighter. He was soon after made sec ond lieutenant of the Second New York heavy artillery on the recommendation of his superior officer for bravery. at Hatcher's Run, Va. At the close of the war, being mustered out of the volun- teer service, he entered the regular army as second lieutenant of the Fifth United States artillery, in which regi- | ment he has since been advanced to captain. From 1872 to 1878 he was pro- l lessor of military science in the Massa- chusetts institute of technology. In May, 1880, he was graduated from the artillery school at Fortress Monroe, | and two months later from the school | of submarine mining at Willet's Point.
 Besides perfecting the torpedo gun, l Mir. Zalinsli devised Q method for ex- act sight allowance to be made for de
 viations due to the wind in the use of
 rifled artillery and other arms. He has
 also invented an intrenching tool and a
 ramrod bayonet.

THE DYNAMITE GUN.
Something About the Man Who
 Invented It
Although . Native of Prussian Poland, Capt. zallnskH h Thorough Ameri- can-HIs Genius Ms Q Prac-
 tical Inventor.

The introduction of,dynamite into modern warfare, says the Mechanical News, was the means of adding an- other name to the galaxy of American inventors, for in 1884 Capt. Zalinslxi constructed 8 pneumatic torpedo gun which fired dynamite shells by the use of compressed air in place of gunpowder. At first 2-inch gun was built. When this proved satisfactory it was speedi- 1y followed by one of inches, when it was shown that shells of high explosives could be safely thrown some 5000 yards. A year later an e-inch gun was mounted at Fort Lafayette which. was subjected to innumerable tests and always with gratifying re- suits. One of these, on September 90, 1887, was the firing of six shots at a government schooner. The vessel was completely destroyed, four of the shots landing in practically the same spot at a range of 1,61s yards. The success of these tests led to the construction of three 16-inch guns for the dynamite cruiser Vesuvius. The Italian govern ment also ordered one, and military critics agree that the invention will take a most important place in future | warfare.
 | In general appearance the gun some what resembles telescope. "The bar rel consists of long tube of brass. The breech mechanism is simple gate arranged so that the valve mechanism cannot work until the breeoh is prop erly closed. Perfect control of the range is had by regulating the amount of compressed air admitted in rear of the projectile and without change-on elevation or pressure. The valve ad- mitting air is a balanced valve whose opening and closing is regulatedJ be sides, the air can be throttled onr its way from the reservoir to the valve, SC that, though the valve may open and close in uniform time, the amount ,oi air passing into the gun in that time can be varied. As this can be regu. lated to a hairs breadth with great rapidity, the range can be better regu lated for moving target than by changing the elevation of the gun Wrought-iron reservoirs, some 16 inches in diameter and IS feet long, contaiI the compressed air. The reservoir tubes from which the air is drawn al rectly for firing are called the firing reservoirs. When a large number O

Rird Surgeons.

Some interesting observations relat- ing to the surgical treatment of wounds by birds were recently brought by M. Patio before the Physical society of Geneva. According to the Medical Record, he quoted the case of a snipe which he had often observed engaged in repairing damages. With its 'beak and feathers it makes very creditable dressing, applying plasters to bleeding wounds, and even securing a broken limb by means of stout igature. On one occasion he killed snipe which had on the chest a 'arge dressing com- posed of down taken from other parts of the body and securely fixed to the wound by the coagulated blood. Twice he had brought home snipe with inter- woven feathers strapped on the site of fracture of one or other limb.

REGENT reports reveal fearful state of destitution and starvation among the negro colonists scattered through the Black Jack country around King fisher. They assert that there are be- tween five hundred and six hundred families with starvation staring them in the face. The negroes blame the men who organized the colonies in the south and charge them with misappropriat- ing the funds which 1t was thought would tide the immigrants over till they could raise crop. An urgent ap- peal has been made to Gov. Seay through F. F. McCabe, the colored ex- auditor of the state who was prime mover In the attempt to make Olklaho- ma negro stato.

A QuEER cRAn.
xe Has Human Enco Outlined on 1t
 Shell.

Shela.
 A curious Japanese crab is the little dorippe, which comes from the inland sea of Japan, and has perfect human face modelled on the back of his little inch-long shell, says Eliza R. Scidmore, in St. Nicholas. The dorippe's eyes and the uneven edge of the shell between them look like tufts of hair at the top of a narrow forehead. There are Jumps resembling eyelids which slant upward as do those of the Japanese, and other parts of the shell look like full and high cheek bones Below ridge which ualght be called the nose two claws spread out on either side and may be hkened to the fierce, bristling mus taches which are fastened to the helmet of Japanese armor. This plainly marked face on the crabs shell natur- ally gave rise to many stories and legends. At one place in the inland sea centuries ago an army of tue Taira clan was overtaken and driven into the sea by their enemies. At cer- tain times of the year the dorippes come up on the beach and the rocks by the thousands. Then the fishermen and villagers say, with fear: '"The samuria have come again." They believe that the souls of the dead warriors, or Sas muria, live in the dorippes, and that they gather in great numbers at the scene of their defeat whenever the same day comes around in later years.
 The face on the dorippe's back is like a swollen and mottled one. The eye lids seem closed, as if in sleep or stupor, while its mouth quite carries out the other common story, that all the old topers are turned into crabs and must keep that form as punishment to1 some long time. The swollen, heavy faces may quite as well be those o1 bleary old topers as of warriors who met death by drowning,so that one who notices the resemblance of the shell to 6 queer Japanese face may think there ii good reason for either story as to why the dorippe's shell is so strangely marked. ~

Many people have asked this question, many are asking it now, because they know they need Spring Tonic and Blood Purifier, and want the best. To any such we can positively answer and truthfully that our DANDELIoN COMPOUND is the best blood purifier, tonic and alternative now known. The reasons are that in com position it is entirely vegetable, it's ingre- dients are all carefully selected, it is made and is in all respects perfectly reliable, safe, and meritorious production.
 We know of many who are now using il with decided benefit, and to their own en- tire satisfaction, but we have yet to heal of one case where it has failed to do all and exactly that which we claim for it We neither admire nor use sensational ad lvertieing, but aim to state the ezacl truth.

THE refusal of Secretary Rusk to asl

THE refusal of Secretary Rusk to ask congress for an appropriation to be spent by the alleged rain maker, Dyren- forth, had no effect on that cheeky and slick-tongued individual. He has talked with such good purpose to the senate committee on agriculture that Senator Pettigrew offered an amend ment to the agricultural bill appropriat- ing $40, 900 for rain making experiments. That is just $15,OOO more than Dyren- forth asked for, and he is correspond ingly happy; but his jubilation will be short, as the house will not allow this money to be thus thrown down 8 rat hole, so to speak, whatever the senate may do.
