the HARDWARE TRADE.

M. HEBLER, Swiss army officer, has
patented new bullet, the penetrating
qualities Of which are said to be much
greater and consequently more deadly
than used in the celebrated Mauser or
Lebel rifles.
HARDwAREMEN evidently flourished
centuries ago as they do now. In a
buried city that is being excavated at
Santiago, Amattan, Central America, a
large quantity of knives, swords, scis-
sors and hammers was found at a
depth Of eighteen feet. r

ALUMINIUM has been introduced into
the Austrian army, the band of the
Third regiment of infantry having used
it in the manufacture Of drums. 1t is said
that the drums are not only neater in
appearance than those of brass, but are
much lighter and more melodious. 1t
is reported that the entire Austrian
army will soon be pounding upon
aluminium drums. Hardware

called "experimental farms" are very
comp,ete and efficient, The central ex-
detrimental farm, situatednear Ottawa,
comprises some 500 acres OF land and,
a complete outfit of buildings and the
necessary machinery. The buildings
are especially fitted up for cattle,
hoyses, pigs and poultry, and all OF
these are we'll stocked. There is
dairy equipped with the modern APP
planes for carrying on experimental
work. The farm includes seed-test-
ing and propagation house and con-
servatory. Besides this central station
there are eleven experimental farms
situated in other parts of Canada, and
these carry on experiments In agricul-
ture, horticulture and arboriculture
with much profit. The several farms
are situated so as to render them as
helpful as possible to the most thickly-
populated districts, and in their equip
ments and general methods they re-
semble closely the central station.
The staff of workers at the central
experimental farm includes director,
an agriculturist, horticulturist, a
botanist, an entomologist and chem
list. There are also poultry manager,
foreman of forestry and several
assistants to assist the members of the
staff. The work is varied in nature
and has to do with practically every
thing which relates to farming in Can
ada. The adaptability aud merits of
various varieties of wheat are, for ex-
ample, the subject of careful inquiry.
Experiments are carried on to deter
mine the vitality and purity of various
agricultural seeds, and to investigate
the nature of the diseases of plants and
trees, and the cure for the ravages of
insects. Various varieties of fertilizers
are tested to determine their compare
tive value with different soilsand crops
The study of the care of animals is a
very important interest, and the value
of different breeds Of stock and their
adaptability to various climates and
other conditions are carefully investi-
gated. These stations examine the
scientific and economic sides of butter
and cheese making. Experiments are
carried ON to determine the best METH
DDS of planting and pruning trees for
fruit raising or for shelter or timber.
The information gained in all this
work is carefully recorded and pub
lished for general distribution.-Scien-

Ono result of the hard times has
been a tendency to restrict club cred
its. Most clubs have rule upon this
subject that is not too strictly en-
forced in flush times, and every large
club expects to have some thousands
of dollars owing to it from members
who have enjoyed the good things of
this life on credit. When hard times
come arrears of this sort tend to swell
to an embarrassing size, and probably
every club in New York, save two or
three of the richest, has been forced to
put its own regulations strictly in force

On the principal lines of the Chicago,
Milwaukee q st. Paul railway passenger
trains are electric lighted, steam heated and
protected by block signals. With these
modern appliances, railway travelling at
high speeds has reached degree of safety
heretofore unknown and not attainable on
roads where they are not in use. Electric
lights and steam heat make it possible to
dispense with the oil lamp and the car
