Strange weakness in my back and around my

a Tax Compromise.

EMpoRIA. Kan, March Is. The
county commissioners Of Lyon county
are III receipt of an offer from the
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
road to pay the first half Of its taxes
based on the increased assessment of
1898 without protest, provided the
county RENTS the penalty, The com
missioners have made a counter propo-
sition and agree to remit the penalty of
3 rer cent. provided the company will
pay the entire amount of taxes for the
year 1898 without any protest. It is
now thought an agreement will be ar
rived at without litigation.

IF Christ Came 10 Chicago is
the rotten, blasphemous title OF a
book by an English journalist, who
has achieved some reputation at
home by his sensational writings.
Doubtless there is a good deal of vice
in Chicago, but if vice was what the
editorial rooster was looking for, he
surely need not have left London.

Origin Of Tea.
IL 81. T.NEW-yoRK.

It is difficult nowadays to imagine
how the Japanese managed to live
without tea; everybody drinks it at
all hours of the day, and the. poorest
people rarely get chance of drink
ing anything stronger, and yet it is,
as things went in old Japan, q COM
paratively recent Introduction. Tea
was introduced with Buddhism from
China, and though some plants were
brought as early as the ninth century,
it was not much grown until the end
of the twelfth. Daruma, an Indian
saint of the sixth century, often rep
resented in Japanese art either cross
ing the ocean on q reed or sitting q
monument of patience with his hands
in his sleeves, was the father of the
tea. plant. After years of sleepless
Watching and prayer he suddenly got
ldroHsy, and at last his eyelids closed
and he peacefully slept. When he
awoke he was 80 ashamed of this par
donable weakness that he cut. off the
offending eyelids and threw them on
the ground, where they instantly took
root and sprouted into the shrub
which has ever since had power to
keep the world awake.--Harper's
Magazine. -... ....-... a....-

platform. From these reservoirs the
air is conducted by means Of large
pipes up through the carriage to the

trunnions, and from the trunnions
through large casing surrounding
the barrel to the breech. Rotary
Joints are provided in this pipe at the
pintle and at the trunnions, which al
low the gun to be moved with free
dom without breaking the continuity
of the pipes and allowing any escape
of air. A large valve near the breech
controls the admission Of air into the
barrel The opening and closing of
this valve are automatic and complete
ly under the control Of the gunner.
A feature of the pneumatic system
is the ability Of the gunner to change
the range without changing the eleva-
ton of the gun by controlling the
amount Of compressed ait that escapes
at each discharge. When the dis
charging lever Is pulled the large
valve at the breech opens and remains
open o sufficient time to allow Ger.
tain quantity Of air to escape into the
barrel then the valve closes before the
proiectle leaves the muzzle, cutting
off the escape Of the air and retaining
in the reservoir all that was not need
ed in propelling the projectile. The
length of time the valve remains open
is under control Of the gunner, and
by.regu1ating the amount Of air that
enters the barrel be regulates the
energy impaired to the proiectile, and
80 can change his range without
changing the elevation Of the gun.

The Ways OF the Milkman.

Dairymen who are in the habit Of
diluting their milk with water have
found out an ingenious plan of circum-
venting the public analysts. Under
the act OF Parliament they can request
that their milk shall be analyzed by
the chemists at Somerset House, and
this they now do. Their object is to
gain little time, for milk quickly be-
gins to ferment, and it is not possible
to test with accuracy a decomposed
fluid, and say what it consisted OF be-
fore decomposition set IN. DR.. Wynter
Blythe instances a recent case OF q
dealer who sold milk diluted with at
least eight per cent. of water. He
appealed to Somerset House, and
after little delay Somerset House de-
clared that there was no evidence of
the addition of water, so that the case
was dismissed. That he had neverthe-
less made no mistake in the matter
Dr.. Blythe is certain, as the milk had
been subjected to an independent anal
ysis by Mr.. Colwell, who agreed with
him. The only way out of the difficulty
would be for each sanitary authority
to have freezing chamber, in which
reference samples of milk, etc., could
be frozen and preserved. Such a
chamber would also be found useful
for preserving meat supposed to be
diseased until the evidence on both
sides could be heard by court OF
Justice. London News.

the gun after the discharge. All of
the projeotiles have ogival heads and
long bodies. The gun being smooth
bore, rotation is given to the torpe-
does as they move through the air by
means of spiral vanes, something on
the plan of O ships propeller, which
are attached to the rear. The full
calibre projectile is eleven feet in
length and has a capacity for 500
pounds of high explosive. The point
is made of bronze and the body of
steel three-sixteenth of an inch in
thickness. The explosive charge is
divided into two parts by diaphragm
across the interior of the projectile,
about at its middle, the object being
to distribute equally the strain caused
by the setting back of the charge at
the instant of discharge, thus causing
less shock to the explosive. The fuse
which causes the explosion is situated
in the point Of the proiectile, where
it is inserted just before the loading.
The range of this projectile is 1900
yards.
Two sizes of sub.calibre projectiles
are used; one ten inches IN diameter,
which carries a charge Of zoo pounds
of high explosive and has range of
more than 1000 yards, and the other
eight inches in diameter, carrying 100
pounds of dynamite and having a range
Of 5000 yards. The fuse used in this
proiectile 1s somewhat more than
twelve inches long and 81 inches in
