The Flight of . Cannon Ball.

The well-known scientific photo
grapher, Anschetz. of LISA, has for
some years been experimenting in max
ing photographs of the fight of cannon
balls from the instant they leave the
muEEle Of the gun to the time of their
striking the object aimed at. After
many attempts and failures he finally
succeeded in obtaining highly interest
ing results, not reaching what he called
the acme of perfection, however, until
N May, 1890. The plates Of this last
mentioned experiment were submitted
TO DIR. Koenig, of the Berlin university,
who was able to make therefrom the
The long-sought practical calculations.
From figures thus deduced DIR. Koenig
established the fact that the projectile
photographed had been passing through
The air with velocity of four hundred
meters per second, and that the dura-
lion of the light thrown on the photo
Traphic plates had not exceeded the
ien-thousandth part of a second

An Editor Gained,

Nothing of a very sensational nature
has happened to the editor of the DEN
oCRAT for some time, and when we last
Saturday evening underwent public
Gaming we began to wonder if we had
not missed our calling. For six long
years we haye published the DEMO
Graf in Great Bend, and tried to con-
duct ourself and our paper in such a
way as to do justice to all men, and We
did not anticipate that any one would
attempt to cahe us over a little matter
of small Importance. The particulars
of the affair, briefly stated, are as
follows:
Saturday (which, by-the-way. was our
37th birthday anniversary We had
come down to the Office to read ex-
changes and figure up our weeks losses,
when we heard the fire bell sound the
call for meeting. Upon going to the
hose house we found the fire boys as
sembled, with Chief Cornell in the
executive chair, and without cere-
mony, and with generalization afore-
thought, he hoped onto US with the
following remarks:
"Mr. Stoke:-In behalf Of the Great
Bend Fire Department, the members
of which desire to show their appreci-
alton of your services as secretary of
the department for the past five years,
1 present to you this cane as token of
our good will and esteem"
The present is an elegant, ebony cane,
with engraved gold head, and will be
! sacredly kept as a token Of the good
will of as brave and free hearted lot Of
boys as ever handled a nozzle OF
climbed ladder.

Field of the Forty rootsrep,.

Southampton fields, known to the

Field of the Forty Footsteps" is small
plot of ground lying directly to the rear
of the British museum, London Ira
dition says that two brothers, some
time during the duke of Monmouth's
rebellion, engaged in a deadly duel
upon this little piece of vacant ground
Both were killed. When the grass be-
gan to grow in the following spring,
there were forty dead patches in it, cor
responding exactly in shape and size to
impressions left by human feet; super
stitious people said that they were the
last steps taken by the brothers before
exchanging the fatal shots To this day

The wisdom OF . Child

A dear little Philadelphia girl whose
parents have had her duly instructed In
Biblical lore, and who attends most
regularly the Sunday school attached to
an uptown church, has been very much
interested of late in the movements Of
the comet and the possible result If it
were to strike the earth in its cratic
wanderings- The other evening, after
having asked many questions regarding
the heavenly stranger, she inquired,
with all childis naivete: well, mann
ma, does the Lord look after all the
planets and the stars and everything
up in the sky?'' Yes, dear" replied
her mother; ''why do you ask?'' ''Oh,
nothing, only / thought he only Just
cared for Philadelphia"

THE LAUGH ON THE COMEDIAN
How An Aspiring Author Put an Actor In
m Emberasaing Position.

m Embarrassing Position.
An aspiring author once presented to
NJ. Monvel, the famous comic actor, a
manuscript tied with red tape, and
begged him togive an impartial opinion
Of the production. The comedian prom
ised to do so, and the young man-the
comedian thought him very young
waited for six months and more before
he inquired as to his friends verdict.
At length he put the solemn question:
WAS the piece adapted for the stage?"
The comedian promised to let him
know in a day or two. Three more
weeks went by. Then again the author
fmportuned the actor, and begged him
not to defer his hopes any longer.
"Wen, then" said the actor, ''the fact
is your play is decidedly clever, L may say
particularly clever, but it is not quite the
thing for the stage. The scenes, the
acting, the development of the plot, the
tag-in fact, it requires adapting to the
stage before it could be possibly pro-
duced. must decline it-unwillingly,
of course, but still"
The young author interrupted him:
''Win you be kind enough to point out
the fault?"
The actor was confused. He toyed
with the manuscript, still criticising it's
defects. The author seized it from him,
united the tape, unrolled the paper, and,
with a laugh, showed him that the
whole was blank. The comedian had
never united the packet.

Boards NOT MADE TO ORDER
Nature Il o Coed Artist, and II In Best to

Nature Il o Good Artist, and II In Best to
Let Them Grow Naturally.
Most men, said the learned French
barber, according to the New York Sun,
''imagine that they can control the die
rection In which their boards grow by
shaving. That is absurd. If you will
take microscope and examine the face
of baby a week old you will see that
the cheeks and chin are covered with
very fine soft hairs, invisible to the
naked eye The direction in which
they turn will never be changed If
the child is a male those hairs Will con-
stitute the beard when it grows to be q
man. II it is of the other sex, they
will make the down which the poets
praise. frequently men come to me
and express desire torhave the shape
of their boards altered by changing the
direction in which the hairs grow. To
all of these say only:
'Messieurs, what you ask cannot be.
ALI the curling irons and razors in the
world are powerless against the Cocree
of nature. Moreover it would be fool
ish for you to make such a change even
though it were possible. Nature is a
good artist, and if her ideas are fol-
lowed the result is always good A
little training here or there may be
beneficial, but the general plan of ma
ture should be followed and not op-
posed. Be thankful, messieurs, that
you have boards and do not try to ruin
them So, too. 1 tell those with
straight boards who wish to make them
curly, and those with curly boards who
wish to have them straight 1t is pos
sible to curl straight hair, and
also to straighten curly hair, but the
effect is temporary and more or less in

Alfalfa As Forage.

Alfalfa, il SOwed on suitable ground,
will in all kinds of weather out-yield
any other forage crop yet know to
mankind; it requires sandy loam soil
with gravelly subsoil. This Kind of
formation is needed for alfalfa, because
it sends it's roots to depth of fifteen
to twenty feet below the surface, send
ing out vast number of branch roots,
and herein lies its great advantage for
for sustaining and keeping up growth
in arid districts and long continued
spells Of drouth. 1t makes from two to
four crope each year. and in districts
that are well adapted to its growth it
will make an average of six tons of hay
each year per acre. But to make the
best kind OF result it must be harvested
each time at exactly the right stage
that is, when 1t is partly in bloom and
it needs to be cured with just IS little
exposure to the rays of the sun as pos
sible. If saved in this manner it makes
the richest food for horses, cattle, sheep
and swine on the whole list of forage
plants. One of the remarkable proper
ties of alfalfa as an animal food is the
fact that it will fatten farm ninals of
any kind.
One great advantage in substituting
to pretty large extent the use of
alfalfa in the feeding of all kinds of
i've stock is found in the fact tnat the
production of corn exhausts the fertility
of the soil at a very rapid rate, while
the production of alfalfa has just the
opposite effect. The corn crop must be
planted every year, while the alfalfa,
where it is well set will hold for years
from one sowing. 1t is claimed that
there is no kind of animal food that
gives better results in the dairy than
alfalfa does, and hogs can be pastured
ON it in the same way they are pastured
on clover.
Sow alfalfa in tie same way that
clover seed has usually been sOwen. 1t
needs rain enough to give it good
start. and it should be moved the first
time at stage Of growth early enough
to destroy the crop Of weeds that may
start up with the alfalfa. This plant
is like clover, it is dangerous in its
green stage for either cattle or sheep;
they are liable to overfeed. though with
strict care this liability can be averted
by grazing cattle and sheep for short
periods of time on the growing alfalfa.
but the main object in the production
of alfalfa is to make good hay.-Farm
and Live Stock Journal.

SENATOR JOHN ARMSTRONG is on

industry Of raising. training and intro
ducing him is but in its infancy. The
whole great world is to be supplied
with the first installmept. And to
know something of him by experience
will be to create desire for more, so
that our prediction is that the demand
for him will never grow less, but more,
while men have use for the equited
