held in the manner shown and the tab
firmly pulled, when az once a thin slip
is torn out of the wrapper throughout
its length, the slip being strictly
limited to the width of the perforations

advertisements that may. as IS some-

CAN KILL AT TWO MILES
Deadly Rino TO BE Supplied United states
Troops.

Troops.
Rocky Mountain News: The new
rifle which has been adopted for use in
the United States army is on exhibition
at the Office OF Lieutenant Collins at
the army headquarters. The Craig
Jorgensen rifle was selected as the best
gun ont OF fitty-three different models.
The guns weighs ,,ght pounds, and is
said To have the capacity TO kill a man
al the dist1nce OF two miles. IL is a
breeSh loader, and has a magazine
which will carry five clrtridges. The
ball, having a speed OF 1000 feet per
second and smokeiess powder being
used, il is claimed the bullet will kill
"a man before the sound OF the discharge
can reach him. Army men who exam
ined the weapon pronounced IL the
most complete instrument of death
they ever saw. The gun will be on ex-
hibition after few days at the Denver
club, where place over the mantel
has been arranged for it.
The peculiar feature about the new
rifle which strikes the observer is the
amount OF wood and the comparatively
small amount of metal which is dis
played. The reason assigned for the
innovation il that the barrel of the gun
becomes hot from rapid firing and the
wood Is protection 20 the hand of the
soldier The cartridge Is gate small,
but is larger than the bore of the rifle
1t is estimate that the soldier eau
carry i75 or 200 rounds of the new am
munition. The bullet is covered bv
nickel or stee instead OF lead The
rifle Is provided with knife blade
bayonet the first issue of the new
arm will be made To two companies of
tho Second infantry at Omaha The
second issue will lie made 10 the Fourth
infantry Mt Fort Sheridan. The entire
infantry force will be supplied by next
fall and the cavalry will mex. be sup
piled. The Old arms will be turned In
to the government TO be distributed
among the various states.

Natures Treasure Caskets.

Geodes are frequently received by
the Geological Survey at Washington
from persons who come across them.
Natures treasure caskets, they might
be called. They are nodules OF chal-
cedony, filled with beautiful crystals.
At the beginning there was cavity in
rock. Water percolating into it de
posted silica in crystalline form.
Sometimes the silica was stained with
iron oxides, and in such cases the no.
dulles are lined with amethyst. 1T Of
ten happened that the supply of water
was cut off while the process was go
ing on, and thus was produced no.
dule containing water. There are
few things in nature more interesting
than geode holding bubble of air,
and perhaps a gill or two of water
to be seen through the translucent
coat of the nodule-which has been
shut up in the little box for nges
When the rock containing geode is
broken open the latter falls out
