Pen esrati0n of the New
Small CALDER Army Rifle.

Wonderful Pen esration of the New
Small CALDER Army Rifle.
Some very interesting tests have
been made Of the new Krag-Jorgenson
rifle. The tests were made at Willet's
Point under the supervision OF Cap
tain w. NJ. Black OF the engineer
corps.
The tests we're made on several diff
ferent days on targets of all kinds and
of all thicknesses. The first test was
made Of inch pine boards blocked to-
gether until thickness OF 4S inches
was obtained. Two bullets went clear
through this, while some penetrated
less than sc inches. With oak, the
greatest penetration was 80 inches.
Iron plates two-thirds OF an inch thick
were easily penetrated. Fascines, two
feet in diameter, had hardly any effect
in DETECTING the bullets from their
course.
A popularity was noted in the &C
ton of the small caliber bullet. The
old Springfield lead bullet flattens out

sand it does not lose it's shape. The

ments, it penetrates its whole length
without losing its shape. Against thin
iron plates, placed an inch apart, the
bullets penetrated until the friction
became so great that the lead melted
Experiments were also made of the
effects of the bullets on human bone
and tissue. When a bone is struck
the injury is o! an explosive nature
If the bullet simply passes through 9
muscle, it creates no damage of any
importance, unless it strikes an artery
which it sewers like knife. At Ions
range the bullet will pulverize resist
ing bodies, such as bone, and make
clean holes in non-resisting bodies
like the flesh and muscle.

The general impression that squirrels
live altogether on grains. acorns and
nuts is not altogether correct. SPUR
rcls will suck eggs and kill young
chickens and small birds with as much
ferocity as a weasel. These peculiari-
ties are not often noticed in the SPUR
rel, because the animal is not bold
enough to venture on extensive depre-
dations in the daytime, but farmers
wives who find eggshclls in the nest in
stead of eggs or discover half a dozen
young chickens with their heads bitten
off should not always lay the crime at
the door of the weasels.

"The preliminary gathering of crows

always interesting to me-" said a trav-

Il do not think that they take their flight
from thi, section of the country, as the

But from the Dallotas and the south

great numbers after the first severe

rise than that of Barrow-in-FurneSs
and Middlesbrough, says the Cornhiu
Barrow was an insignificant hamlet
made up of handful of fishermen's
huts. until the discovery of a rich vein
OF hematite ore some forty years ago
transformed it into one of the most i'm
portant ccnters Of our great iron manu-
facture. Its population is now fifty-ono
thousand.
Where the fishing coolies were hauled
on to the quiet strand there now flares
many a huge blast furnace, fed with
hundreds Of thousands of tons Of ore
yearly, while jute works and one of the
largest steel works in England add
further, not to the beauty, but to the
commercial prosperity of Barrow.
Middlesbrough began in an even
smaller way. Sixty-five years ago a
solitary farmhouse stood where fur
nances and pudding mills make the
land hideous to-day.
Its life was revolutionized by the find
in 1910 of a thick vein of iron in the
Cleveland hills running from Middles-
brough to Whitby. The Darlington &
Stockton railway was already at hand
to help in the work.
Iron shipbuilding and steel works
came next, and ''Ironopolis" is now an
incorporated borough with a member
OF parliament and over seventy-five
thousand people, where forty years
since there were not as many hundreds.

Room Mt the Ton.

From Wonankind.
A young woman recently found employ
ment in a queensware store. She i'm
mediately began course of study In her
leisure moments, upon glassware and china.
She then read some recent works upon the
appointments of the table, and in a short
time, by applying herself to her business,
became the most valued emplcye in large
store.
In a millinery establishment the young
woman who found time for reading a book
or two on colors and their harmonious COM
hination, found her own taste greatly i'm
proved and her ability to please patrons
much greater. She was soon favorite with
the employers and customers.
The young woman who. to earn an honor
able living. went into my lady's kitchen.
and instead of gossiping every evening
fc und time to read a few good books and
household papers, was soon too valuable a
housekeeper to be kept in a subordinate
position in the kitchen. She knew how a
table should look for formal dinner, she
knew what dishes were in season, she knew
how to serve a meal in it's proper courses,
and, more than that, she knew something
about the food value of different dishes.
OF course this sounds like an old-fashion-
ed Sunday school book. but the fact re-
mains that there is always room at the
top" and that no unusual amount of intel
ltgence is needed to reach the top. A fair
average of good sense and a proper amount
of application will accomplish everything.
