PhotoCraphfc Bullets.

1t is no news that cannon balls
and bullets can be Photographic as
they dart through the air, but Pro-
fessor G. V. Boys has recently made
some experiments in photographing
flying bullets that cast new light up
on their motion, and their effect upon
the air through which they pass.
Professor Boys fires the bullet
through box lined with black cloth,
and SO arranged that the passing bull
let itself completes an electric circuit
and causes a flash Of light in the box,
which, though lasting only one
millionth of second, suff1ces to i'm
print photograph of the bullet on a
sensitized plaJe contained in the box.
Not only are the bullets them
selves photographed, but also the at
mospheric waves created by their
passage. In front of the bullets are
seen the waves Of condensation, and
behind them the waves of rarefac-
ton, and interesting observations
have been made on the peculiar forms
Of these waves.
AS each bullet dashes through the
box it touches the terminals of two
wires in the electric circuit, and the
little cloud of dust into which the end
of the wires is pulverized also has its
image imprinted on the Photographic
plate.
Professor Boys has experimental
with the photographing of charges of
small shot fired from shOtguns, and
the final result of these experiments
is awaited with much interest, be-
cause it promises to throw light upon
the manner in which guns of different
pattern scatter the shot.

Carolina, Theodoli, the intendant OF
st. Peters at Rome, who had just
died, led, for the most part, life of
clerical tranquility: but he was fond
OF narrating one thrilling adventure.
1t was in 1874. Monsignor Theodoli
was spending a quiet holiday at the
abbey of Trivulsi, near t'rosinone.
While reposing under chestnut tree
in a neighboring wood one afternoon
he was captured by bandits and car
ried off to the mountain-top. His
servant, who came in search Of him,
shared like fate. In the morning
the chief approached the bishop re-
specttully, and, with many apologies
for the necessity which he was under,
informed him that they required
$4,000, which his servant could bring
back, and then he would be set at
liberty. There was no help for it.

platform had been erected for a
keno case, and he called the caller
down and the preacher was told to
step UP. He did so, and gave them
an off-handed talk in true Western
style.
Strict attention was paid, and when
he had finished, the immense room,
which was 30xs0 feet in size, was
filed. The preacher said that he
wanted to build achurch in the camp,
and told them that he would solicit
subscriptions.
Browney got up and said that he
knew the boys well, and he would
commence right there by passing the
hat. He began, snG the fellows be-
gan dropping quarters and halves.
The gambler swore, and said: Oh
it, boys, put in bills. Coins don't go
in this hat"
He collected about 800, but did not
seem satisfied with the amount He
told the preacher to go and he would
attend to it farther. The games
were reopened and the gambling
went on. Browney took the 500 and
bought chips with it and sat at faro
table. He played about an hour and
hauled out over 800 and then hunted
up the preacher and gave him the
winning as a starter for the church. =

These things were to come later. OF
course, we cannot tell what were the
thoughts that animated that brain as

marvellous speed the delicate thread
by which he held his kite In tie

wonders to which he held the keyp
One Hundred Miles an Hour.
Not the least Of these wonders are
the electric motor and the dynamo
which manufactures lightning. BY
their combination distance can al
most be annihilated. What would
have been thought 100 years ago of
the person rash enough to predict
speed of 100 miles an hour with which
men and things could be transported
from one point to anotherP The de-
velopment of transportation facilities
since George Stephenson's locomotive
made its trial trip In 1929 has been
remarkable. What Is perhaps the
last step Of the century in this direc-
ton is about to be taken. An cleo
trio railroad is already under way be-
tween Chicago and St. Louis which it
would seem will solve the problem Of
rapid transit. On this railroad at
the very start speed of 100 miles an
hour will be made.

cities will be as near straight as the

misery had driven them to their

they were good Christians. The heart

nuch Nonsense Has Been Printed About
Snakes Powers.
A great deal Of nonsense has been
published, and great deal more is
believed, about snakes Some most
thrilling stories turn upon power
which serpents are credited with Of
fascinating their victims. This ap-
pears to be superstition. Accord
ing to Mr.. Vincent Richards, mice,
birds, dogs, guinea pigs, and other
small animals, introduced into rat
tlesnake's cage, show little fear, even
at first, and afterward none what
ever. Smaller birds, after futtering
about till they are tired, end by be-
coming amusingly familiar with the
snakes. Mr.. Richards put two rats
into cage containing forty cobras.
At the outset the rats appetites were
considerably affected, and they were
evidently alarmed. In short space
Of time, however, they recovered their
spirits and caused considerable COM
motion among the cobras by running
all over their heads and bodies. The
snakes resented this familiarity by
darting at each other and at imagi-
nary foes. The rats lived and par
took of food in the cage for ten or
twelve days, when, one after another,
they were found dead-"yictims, nc
doubt. of misplaced confidence"
1t is still a matter of debate
whether snakes are proof against
their own poison. The remedies ad-.
vlsed for snakebite are Of doubtful
validity. Because man RECEIVERS.
after being bitten by a snake and
dosed with opium, mercury, ammo
MIA, or what not we must not jump.
to the conclusion that the treatment.
has effected cure. A snake may
bite without poisoning. Biting,
though in appearance simple enough,
consists really of series of complex
movements, following rapidly one
upon another in ordered sequence,
should any of which be inadeQuately
performed, the victim may not be
properly poisoned. Ammonia, alco-
hol, and making the patient move
about are wore than useless: for they
increase the action of the circulation,
and thereby promote the absorption
Of the poison. Even permanganater
Of potash is of no effect unless it is
administered within four minutes.
Researches into the nature of the
poison, says the Popular Science
Monthly, have shown that it resides
in some proted, and that there are
three toxic elements-globulin, serum
albumen and acid albumen - but,
wherein the quality consists that
gives to these substances, usually so
harmless, their poisonous power, is
as much in the dark as ever.

Juvenility and PRAYER.

Willie is the son of a Presbyterian

functions of the church and prayer

annoyance. One morning, her pa

she said:

Willie accordingly made haste, and
when he had finished dressing fell
upon his kness to say his morning
prayer, to which he added these petit
tions
And, 0 Lord, keep me from
dawdling; but if, Lord, it should be

Bishop Brooks Phillips Brooks,
