Dynamite Guns Proven a Great
Success.

dynamite GunS PROVEN q Great
Success.
SANDY Hook, N. Y, Aug. 22.-In
continuation of the trial of the pneu-
matte dynamite guns the test today was
for accuracy. Three dummies were first
fired to obtain the range. Afterwards
eight loaded ten-inch projectiles, each
containing 200 pounds mtro-gelatine,
were fired from the fifteen-inch gun,
and all struck the water apparently IN
the same spot. The range was $500
yards. TwO-secOnd time fuses were
used. They acted perfectly, exploding
every shell. United States ordnance
officers and others who witnessed the
exhibition were not merely satisfied,
but amazed. Several full charges of
500 pounds of gelatiue shells were fired
successfully.

A butcher calls at tho door and offers

ever, that it is against her rules to pay
for any article until the whole of it is
eaten. The butcher, knowing that there

After keeping the ham for two years

Eirds Guided by the Stars.

Did you ever venture any conjecture
as to how migratory birds manage to
keep up their fight In due north d.
rection after night? 1t has been proved
that on clean nights they often "wing
their northern flight" in the rarified at
mosphere three miles above the earth 8
surface. This being true, 1t Is clear that
guidance by the topography Of tho coun-
try is out Of the question. How, then,
are they able to keep their beaks point
ed toward the north pole? The scientific
ornithologist comes to the rescue with
the declaration that they are guided by
the stars, and in support of his opinion
cites as evidence the fact that when the
stars are obscured by clouds the birds
become bewildered and at once seek the
ground.-St Louis Republic.

Recipes For Shoe Dressing.

Here arc two recipes for making q
dressing for shoes: Take 2 drains Of
spermaceti oil, 8 ounces Of good molas-
ses and ounces Of finely powdered ivo-
~ black and stir them together thor
oughly. Then stir in half pint of good
vinegar, and the dressing is ready for
use. It gives a bright, clean surface and
makes the shoes look almost like new.
The second dressing is for rainy wealth
er and is said to make the shoes water
proof. Take an ounce Of beeswax, an
ounce of turpentine and quarter Of an
ounce of burgundy pitch Put them
into half o pint Of cottonseed oil and
melt together over a slow fire, being
careful that the mixture does not take

The Worlds Population

According to the latest estimate
made by the geographical establishment
OF Gotha, Germany, the present popula-
ton OF the world is about fourteen
hundred and eighty millions. This
may by apportioned as follows, the
numbers being understood to refer to
millions: Europe, three hunered and
fifty-seven: Asia, eight hundred and
twenty six: Africa. one hundred and
sixty.fonr: America, one hundred and
twenty-five: Australia. three: Oceanic
islands, seven. Belgim is still the most
densely populated country OF Europe,
having five hundred and thirty to the
square mile. Still, taking Europe as
whole, the ratio is less than one
hundred to the mile. In the United
States Massachusetts has two hundren
and twenty two to the square mile,
while the general average is only
seventeen. 1t is evident that there is
still considerable unoccupied land in
our country, whatever Henry George
may say when he looks into cities, and
the greatest benefactor is the agency
which can bring the landless to the
land. And that is what the Burlington
Route has been doing for years with its
lines reaching over ten fertile western
states, and still there are millions OF
pleasant acres waiting to be be made
into happy and productive farms.

The Colt Show.

The colt show at the Fair Grounds
last Friday drew large crowd of in
terested spectators to witness the en-
hibition of colts sired by the celebra-
ted thoroughbred stallion Famous,
owned by Mr.. F. M. Simpson. Owing
to the short notice and the rainy
weather of the day before, the num-
Der of colts was not as large as antici-
pated, but nevertheless there we're
about dozen handsome specimens en-
tered, ranging in age from 81 to 515
months old. Some of them we're very
handsome and would have done credit
to Kentucky colt show. Two prizes
we're offered, the first neat set of colt
harness and the second $500 in cash
1t was with considerable difficulty
the 3 judges reached decision, but
they finally decided handsome bay
colt 81 months old, entered by Green
Hamilton, of Wesson, was entitled to
the first prize, and the second to a
fine sorrel 51a months old, entered by
Ephriam Nations, of Fair River.
After the colt show, the crowd we're
given an exhibition of "Famous," as
he moved around the half-mile track
at $40 gait, under the steady hand of
Lonnie Schwem. He is beautiful bay,
I years old, little over medium size,
and as graceful in form and movement
as deer.
The occasion demonstrated two
things conclusively ~ That the
people are interested in good home
raised stock as never before; and t2)
that as good horses can be raised here
as any where, if our people will only
turn their efforts in that direction and
thus save the money heretofore paid
out for imported horses and mules.
Mr.. Simpson is to be heartily con-
graduated on his success in getting
up the colt show, and the impetus he
is giving to the raising of improved
home-bred horses is worthy of all
praise.
