somewhat by winning the four-oared
race in the North Hector regatta, on
Lake George. She also defeated the
Columbia and University of Pennsyl-
vania crews at the same place, the
same year. After these victories they
were anxious to seek laurelS. else
where, and it was decided to send a
four to the Henley regatta in 1881.
Arrangements were made and the
crew sailed for England the latter
part of May. They met defeat at
Henley, and from there went to the
Vienna regatta, where the stroke
tainted when Cornell was four lengths
in the lead. This was a terrible blow
to Cornell pride, but, with character
istic pluck, she entered a crew in The
regatta at Lake George, in 1882, where
she again suffered defeat Believing
yet in her ability to turn out WIN
ming crew she entered two regattas in
1888, with the determination to wipe
out the ill-luck Of the two previous
years. She was victorious in both
events; at Lake George she defeated
the University of Pennsylvania,
Princeton and Wesleyan. This was
CornelFS first year under the direction
of Charles E. Courtney, who coached
the crew for ten days before the race,
and since then Cornell has felt unable
to get along without him The next
year Cornell suffered two defeats
one at Philadelphia for the Childs Cup
race, and the other at Saratoga. With
these two races Cornel's defeats end

them in the New London regatta.

ARE BIRDS GUIDED BY srARs9
An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
of Bird Migration,

An Attempt to Solve the Great Mystery
of Bird Migration.
In an article on Birds Of Passage"
the Chautauquan says II one desires
an explanation for the great mystery
Of bird migration, there being nothing
else that will answer, he will have to
accept the theory Of hereditary knowl-
edge, a knowledge of the unfaillng
stars The Great Bear and Orion APP
peared at the same time In our region,
even when the divisions Of land and
water were very different than they are
today. That the stars are the guides
Of birds agrees with the fact that they
fly at remarkable heights, often above
the clouds, and that wanderers lose
their way when they stray into clouds
and mlsts. On starlight nights stray
Cling birds are seldom noticed. When
the sky is overcast, when the night is
dark, but especially when a fine rain Is
falling, multitudes Of travelling birds
are heard, They will call often, doubt
less for the purpose Of keeping near
each other; and often great numbers Of
them bound against the windows OF
lighthouses. Thus Gatke has observed
that on Oct. %, 1882. from 10 o'clock at
night till the next morning golden
crested wrens bumped like snowflakes
against the lighthouse Of Hellgoland,
and that on the following day golden
crested wrens sat on every square foot
Of Heligoland. Toward the end Of the
summer, along into the fall, 1t was not
a rare occurrence on dark nights to
see, through the light Of street lamps,
birds flying over inland cities. The ex-
perienced observer recognizes by its call
the ourlew and the strand-snipe. sea-
swallow and seagull, occasionally hears
even the flap Of their wings. But no
bird is visible in the darkness. On dark
nights no stars appear; then It Is that
the straylng bird loses his way. The
stars are the most plausible guides to
birds In their migrations. But only the
future can tell US whether they really
serve In that capacity.

NOTES AND COMMENT.

The plutocratlc press frequently
raises the cry of paternalism when 1t
lacks an argument against the owner
ship of railroads and other public utili-
ties. The fact is the United States
bears the distinction Of doing more for
corporations and getting less for 1t than
any nation on earth. 1t was the rank
est kind Of paternalism to give the rail-
road corporations 215,0OO,O00 acres Of
land and $64,OOO,OOO in bonds but the
plutocratic press doesn't say anything
about that. That's their masters, you
know.
Everybody knows that the eastern
democrats and enough Of the western
and southern democrats to make a ma
jorlty in the party are in favor of q
gold standard on the Cleveland and
Carlisle plan. Nearly every democrat
who is fighting for free silver inside
the party" expresses himself willing to
abide by the action of the party, both
as to candidates and platform. In
other words the minority free silver
democrats say they will abide by the
decision Of the majority gold bug demo-
Gratis. The logical result Of this will
be gold standard platform, or a strad-
die, with a gold bug candidate. These
will be supported by the free silver
democrats. This goes to prove that
the most Of the free silver democrats
so-called think more Of a party that
is serving Wall street than they do Of
principle and that they are actually
helping the gold bugs by preventing
many honest sincere free silver men
from leaving their gold bug party, and
joining a genuine free silver party.
This Is exactly the position that is be-
ing occupied by such men as Bland
and Bryan. They are doing more harm
to the silver cause-more to prevent
the free and unlimited coinage Of silver
than any gold bug in the democratic
party.

Telephones for Mining.

Many difficulties attach to the use OF
the telephone in mining operations, not
the least Of which is the liability Of
the wires to be broken by falling rock
OF shattered in blasts. The apparatus
itself is also attacked by many troubles
peculiar to the situation. Yet the ad-
vantages of telephone communication
in a mine are very numerous, and the
service is now frequently resorted to.
In the telephone sets thus used as lit
tie metal as possible is employed, and
that little is carefully protected from
exposure to the air. 1t has been found
that for set to be used in mine,
wood is the best material. 1t is Gre
osoted and thoroughly covered with q
waterproof paint. as far as possible
all joints are dovetailed, or elaborately
gongs for the bells on the outside of
the box, as well as the handle Of the
magnetic generator, the familiar crank
and the little hammer between the bells
enter the box through glands that are
water-tight. The transmitter and re-
ceiver are also cooped up within the
box, and connected with the outside by
means Of long, flexible tubes, the in
teriors Of which are Of metal It has
been found that in this way the mois-
ture is condensed on the sides Of the
long tubes and little or none on the dia-
phragms. If exposed, the iron dia-
phragms would last but a few weeks;
as it is, they have been made in this
way to last an indefinite time.

Breech Mechanism of 80 Gun.
equipment of these monster guns as
any ordinary contingency can possibly
demand. But the relative progress in
the construction and manipulation OF
light artillery for field uses, however,
has been referred to very slightly and
nothing like an accurate statement Of
facts regarding this branch of the SER
vice has been given to the public.
That field artillery has progressed to
state Of almost absolute perfection
and that the guns in use by our gov
eminent are the most effective and
deadly weapons imaginable it is the
purpose of this article to explain.
At Fort Riley, Kans., there was es-
tablished in the winter of 1867
school of instruction for the cavalry
and light artillery arms Of the service.
The old military post was enlarged
at an expense of 100000 and was so
thoroughly remodeled as to make it at
present one of the largest and best
equipped military stations in the coun-
try. There are stationed here at this
time two squadrons of cavalry and
three batteries of light artillery. Four
troops Of the Second and four Of the
Seventh Cavalry comprise the cavalry
force, and Light Batteries A and +
Of the Second and r of the Fourth
Artillery occupy the artillery subpost.
The course of instruction laid down is
both theoretical and practical The
practical part of it consists Of actual
maneuvers in the field against an as
sumed enemy, which is an active
and we'll drilled fighting force. In
these maneuyers the artillerymen are
taught everything in the way of duty
that can be required of them in the
field in time of war and all conditions
Of the strife are real except two
the assumed enemy and the assumed
ball cartridge. The artillery subpost
and the artillery subschool are under
the direction of Maj. Wallace F. Ran
dolph of the Third Artillery, admit
tedly one Of the foremost authorities
in this country in matters pertaining
to his branch of the service. 1t is to
the personal courtesy of Maj. Ran
dolph that I am indebted for the ac-
curatc information regarding the
field work of the new guns, as wei as
for detailed and illustrated descrip-

target Ten feet high and fifty feet in
length was set up on o hillside at a
distance OF 1,75O yards from the bat
terry. Twelve shrapnel were fired at
this target In six minutes and upon
examination it was found to have been
struck 92S times. The ground sur
rounding it for distance Of more
than it's length on either side was
peppered with bullets and fragments,
and had there been Il body of troops
there the slaughter would have been
awful. In another test, targets repre-
senting platoon Of artillery were
placed In such q position as would
naturally be taken by battery in
action in the field. The horses and
men We're represented by life-size
targets made of iron and covered
with canvas. The horses and battery
were represented roughly in a similar
manner. The distance was unknown,
but was estimated at 2,O25 yards.
Twelve shrapneI were fixed in six
minutes, and here Is the result: Thir-
teen horses out Of II hit, some Of them
as many as q dozen times; 21 men out
of "a hit, many of them two and three
times; both pieces Of artillery and both
limbers were struck repeatedly. In
all, from the twelve shrapnel fired,
there were 357 hits made. This is one
Of the most accurate targets ever made
in light artillery firing under similar
conditions.
A series Of dummy targets represent
ing skirmish line of infantry was
next set up. The distance was 1,75O
yards and I'm this test as in the others,
~ sharpnel We're fred in minutes.
The targets represented so men in
the act of firing. 1t was found that
81 Of the figures had been hit out of
50, and the total number Of shots
shown by the figures was SO. That
sort of fire would have wiped COM
pany Of infantry off the face Of the
earth before they could have had time
to turn around. A detachment of in
fantry arranged as If in columns Of
fours. comprising As figures, was next
set up. The same number Of shrapnel
were fired, the distance being 2,lOO
yards and AZ out Of the 45 were
struck. There was total number of
115 hits shown on the targets.
Infantry in column platoons came
next; 100 figures were represented and
Is shrapnel were fired at unknown
distance, estimated at 1850 yards. The
time allowed for firing the Il shots
was 5 minutes, and u per cent of
the represented force was hit. OF
those struck by the bullets and frag-
ments, more than one half were hit
by more than two missiles, and total
number of 173 hits was scored.
1t will be seen from these results
that the progress Of the field piece has
fairly kept pace with that of it's big
brother on American n: Ell of-War. Ma
chine guns of small calibers have, it
is true, been advanced to a State
bordering on perfection, but the pres
ent field pieces in use by the light ar
ti1lery batteries in the service. al
though comparatively Insignificant in
size and appearance, are nevertheless
powerful engines of destruction. The
new shrapnel used in these guns
makes them formidable at distances
up to two and half and three miles.
The artillery regiments are nearly all
supplied with these guns now, and if
occasion arises for their use against
an enemy they will render an account
that will go down in history.

Philosophy of Skating.

Considerable time and ingenuity have
been expended this year in the effort
to produce a form OF skate which will
combine lightness and convenience Of
arrangement with great speed. The
scientific principle involved in this
work is far more complex than is gen
orally supposed, and makes a very in
teresting study. Speed in skating is,
Of course, attained by the proper appli-
cation Of every particle Of motive pow
er. When the skater strikes out with
his foot he does not, however, as is
generally supposed, obtain momentum
from the broadside pressure Of the
skate on the ice. The momentum is
gained by gradual and tapering pres
sure which commences at the head Of
the skate, since it is here that the
freshest and strongest force is applied.
It will be seen that the momentum is
increased, therefore, by the pressure
exerted steadily and firmly outward
from the heel Of the skate to the ex-
treme toe, and when once the extreme
motive power is passed to get the other
foot in position as quickly as possible.
The prime factors in producing speed,
it will be seen, are the full pressure
on the ice and the rapid movement Of
the legs. Working upon this theory, a
long, heavy skate has been manufact-
ured, with blade which extends sew
eral inches beyond the foot-hold.- Sci.

Speed in Ocean Cabling.

A series Of interesting experiment.
conducted recently by Mr.. P. B. De-
lany, with a specially designed system
of automatic transmission, on the great
Atlantic submarine cables, suffice to-
show beyond a shadow of doubt that
transmission may be effected from long
land lines directly into the ocean cables
at the same speed that the cables are
worked from their landing places. This
avoidance Of rehandling the message
at the ends Of the cables means, econ.
omy in more ways than one The de-
sideratum hitherto has been to, use
Morse" on the cables; but Mr.. De-
lany's opinion is that in the near future
all cables will be operated by automat-
lc or machine systems, as cables now
cost so much to lay down that their
carrying capacity must not be restrict
ed to the ability or eXpermesS of an
operator in manipulating a key. Be-
sides, signals sent by a machine are
uniform. while hand signals follow the
vagaries of the individual operator.
With machine sending impulses Of
absolutely uniform duration, and: max
ing the best division Of time between
the cable and the current, and the cable
and earth, operating in connection
with a siphon recorder to write down
the signals, at the receiving end, it
would seem that the highest efficiency
in cabling signaling had been reached.
This means not only increased work
out Of the same cables, but better and
cheaper service for the public

given quite. another extension in it's ap-
plication to jail cells and corridors. as
afOrding combined security and mex
pensiveness. The cells have capaci-
ty of from four to- eight inmates, and
are generally used for small county
jails or city lock-ups. Each cell is usu-
ally 1-2 by 6 10 feet, with eerri-
dor, 9 by q feet, without bottom, to
fasten to- cement or other floor, and
provided with folding bunk. These
cells are made of lattice all around,

ed at each intersection by steel pins.
and all anchored to a. heavy steel an
gle frame. In some forms there is
plate partition designed for larger
towns or cities, where 1t is needed to
separate men from women prisoners,
or where it is desired to isolate certain
Offenders. AS the cells are made in
sections, it is easy to expand or con-
tract their capacity, and any ordinary
mechanic can set them up. Though
so simple, they are remarkably good
cages for Jail birds, being saw, drill
and file-proof.
