CARVER ON SHOOTING.

Why MarksuaAn Sometimes Can Hit and
Sometimes Cannot.
DIR. Carver, the champion rifle shot Of
the world, SO well known by the Indians
of the great west rs the Esprit Gun" :"
explained to a reporter yesterday why
it was that dead shots, cowboys and
other western and southern characters,
accustomed from childhood to the use
of rcvolvcrs and rifles would make re-
markably bad scores when laboring IN
der the slightest excitement.
'Why," said the doctor, 81 have

forty PAGES with a six-shooter to 60 out

never touch their man. 1t makes .
heap of difference to most men when
they are squirting along the barrel Of
a Winchester or over the sight of a six
shooter whether they are cutting loose
at an inanimatc target or looking into
the muzzle of a gun. don't mean to
say they are frightened. as have seen
many men who didn't know the sensa-
tion of fear take 50 much pride in their
craftsmanship. get wrought up to such
a frenzy by being opposed TO anyone,
that they get into q state of nervous
excitement that renders it almost i'm
possible to hit anything. There was a
shooting match between two bad men
1t Plum Creek, across . billiard table.
Neither flinched, and both emptied
their guns. and both men were hit but
once, and that exactly in the same
place. They had each thrown their
arms upward over the heart to protect
it, and they were hit In the arm near
the elbow, the other shots flying wide
of the mark. causing q stampede and
wrecking some Of the glassware.

In the year 1854 the Behring explor.
ers discovered gigantic species Of
rytine, or northern sea cow" These
enormous manatees were similar in
general habits TO those Of the South
American coast and were from twenty
to thirty feet in length and from ten TO
twenty feet in girth. They were very
stupid, harmless beasts, and lived by
browsing on seaweeds and other marine
yrowths near the land. The sailors
were not slow in finding out that sec
