Shot Drilling.

The shot process of drilling recently
introduced is the application Of very
simple scientific and mechanical princi-
pie. In this method of drilling through
rock steel shot are poured inside of the
drill pipe, into ring or channel made
in the rock by few revolutions of the
pipe, the latter bearing on this ring OF
shot, and when the pipe is revolved it
causes the shot to revolve also and cut
the channel in the rock deeper. From
the results thus far obtained it is expect
ed that as the boring of large holes
through hard rock by means of diamonds
the cost of which, as is well known,
continues to be very greats very ex-
pensive work, the new process of drill
ing by means of steel shot will be used
in many cases as a substitute for that OF
the diamond drill. New York Sun.

Teachers throughout Indiana are pro-
testing vigorously against "a new rule
Just adopted by the superintendent Of
public instruction regarding appeals
from the decisions of county superin-
tendents. Whenever teacher applies
for a license and is refused one for any
cause, or is graded lower than he be-
lieves he should be, an appeal lies to the
state superintendent, whose duty it is to
investigate and decide the question at
issue.
In code of rules recently issued the
state superintendent requires $50 to be
deposited whenever an appeal is taken,
and the rule is invoking a great deal OF
criticism. No costs have heretofore at
tended such appeals, and no forfeiture
ever resulted, and the teachers cannot
see why $50 should be deposited when
no damages can be awarded under the
law or costs collected. They believe
that the new rule Will prevent aggrieved
teachers from prosecuting appeals and
thus increase the power of the local SUI
perintendent to the detriment of the
schools. Enquirer.

Wyoming.

Now, as to Wyoming, the suffrage
state to which 1 have given the greater
attention, a few figures. The number
of marriage licenses taken out after the
enfranchisement shows great increase
over those taken out in the previous
year. The number of divorces granted
is very much smaller. This shows, in
contestably, that the fact of woman
having been made mans political
equal has not produced dislike or
contempt for the marriage relation.
Before women began to vote there, there
were IA prisoners in the Jail, two of
whom were women; at the last census,
after the amendment, there were just
"a prisoners, all of whom were men.
The figures show that, in comparison
with, the surrounding states, Wyoming
has one-twelfth of the amount of crime
and ope-fourth the number of divorces.

A GREAT GAME OF BILLIARDS.

This Player Originated the Anchor Nurse
and Played 1t to Perfection.
'1 see that Ives made great run at
billiards the other day." said the old man
as he chalked his cue, land that he did
It with the anchor nurse. Now the pa
pers are talking about that anchor nurse
as if it was a new thing. l saw an an
chor nurse used way back in 1872, and
the fellow who used it had used it before
too"
Pressed for the story by reporter, the
old man said: ~ was in hard luck that
winter and was acting as roomkeeper for
q friend of mine. One day fellow came
into the room and got into a game. He
proved to be a very good player, and for
a week or two he came up regularly and
laid out the local experts to the queens
taste. Then match was made between
him and tie best player in town for 500.
1t was to be 500 points up, straight bill
liards.
THE night for the match came, and
the room was crowded. They began to
play and dubbed along until each one
of them had 80 or SO buttons. Then the
stranger got the balls against the rail
and held them in one spot. He ran out
the game, making, to be exact, 447 bill
liards. The last shot he made was q
hard drive from the lower end of the
table, and it broke the balls up. He was
loudly applauded, and there were many
comments on his skill in keeping the
balls anchored as he did. He got the
money and went away.
"Next day we were talking over the
game, and one man said he didn't be-
neve any man could make so many
points off two balls without moving
them. He talked SO much that we ex-
amined the table. Then we got onto
the anchor nurse"
"Did he have hole punched in the
clothY' asked listener.
"No," said the old man, "he didn't. y
"All on the square, was it?'
"Well, not exactly. You see, he car.
ried small bottle of liquid glue with
him, and he put COB of it on the table
next the cushion when we didn't see
him" The old man picked up his cue
and made carom. There was man,
he said, "who had the anchor nurse
down about as fine as any of them."-

Few people would want to pay $2 900
for 80 violet plants, Yet that is what a
local florist sold that many roots for,
and he does not think he was overpaid
either. AS may be supposed, the violets
are curiosities.
They are the outcome of years Of pa
tient hybridizing. Only violets of one
gender grow ON plant. This renders
them capable of being experlmented
with successfully. The big, bold double
violet is the male flower.
The demure single blossom is the fe-
male. From the double. flower the pol
len is carefully cut and placed in the
cup of the single blossom. Only one
blossom in 100 of those artifcially treat
ed will produce seed. This seed is then
planted, and the resultant violet is again
hybridized with some other remarkable
specimen.
Sometimes odd colors are obtained.
Sometimes odd form. A year ago a local
nurseryman produced a violet giant. 1t
was four times larger than the ordinary
flower and grew on a stem from IL to 10
inches long. The plant on which these
remarkable blossoms grew sprang up
from one of the seeds resulting from a
long series of hybridizing. 1t was sub
divided, and now there are 80 plants.
These were purchased a few days ago
by a city florist for $4,000, An iron
bound contract prevents the propagator

multiplying the peculiar plant. None of
the plants or blossoms will be sold for two
years, by which time the 80 roots will
have grown to four or five millions, The
violet has been named the Tiburcio par
rott, after the well known capitalist
