SNOW STOPS BULLETS
Remarkable Results Mt Short Range
With the Lebel Rifle.

With the Lebel Rifle.
Some officers of the One Hundred and
Thirty ninth Regiment of the line i'll the
French army, stationed at Aurillac, con-
ceived the idea of making experiments
on the penetrative effect of the Lebel rifle
on ordinary snow. They made the ex-
periments, and the results took their
breath away. Firing from distance of
only l60 feet at masses of snow raised on
the rifle range at Ombardo and Buis, the
ritiemen found that their proiectiles
stopped when they were but five feet deep
in the target. That five feet OF snow
should stop Lebel rifle ball was past be-
lief. yet there was the result. There were
the ritiemen; there was the ball, hurled
from the muZZle with velocity attain
able only in the modern reech-loading
high-power firearm-and there it was
again, just five feet deep n mass of soft
snow. A bullet from the same rifle at
this distance has crashed through tree
three and a half feet in diameter.
Here is the theory OF the French Off
GERS. 1t will serve for the present. and
may be the true ex planation. They think
the rifle ball gets '.baitled up" just as a
horses hoofs do, only it is all done in the
fraction of a second. Entering the snow
as it does with high speed and the spin
ming motion due to the rifiing. it collects
particles about il and drives them back
until the accumulated mass stops its
flight. We may yet see the armi es Of
Europe building snow forts.

OLD GOLOSHES MADE OVER.

Millions of Rubber shoes and Boots
Melted Up Every Year.
"What becomes Of all the old rubber
overshoes aud boots that are cast aside i'll
the course of year by the 10000, 900 peo-
ple of this cOuntry?' asked reporter of
a manufacturer of rubber goods.
'"rhere are tricks in every trade but
ours" replied the manufacturer, smil-
ing.
"Your question is leading one, and
one that few men in my line would like
to answer truthfully. The fact of the
matter is that millions of old rubber
shoes and boots are gathered up every
year by men who make business OF it,
and are sent back to the rubber factories
where they are made over into new boots
and shoes. In this way one pair will enter
into the composition of perhaps hum
dred pairs"
The reporter happened to be wearing a
pair of rubber overshoeS. and he aske
the manufacturer for an expert opinion
of them.
THAT is a good pair" said the manu-
facturer. 1T is evidently made of the
best material But when you wear it out
it will go back to a factory, and will be
melted up with other rubber and will
enter into the making OF new overshoes,
and so on time after time. Those rub
future before them.
"Of course, this process results in the
placing OF inferior goods on the market,
but they are cheaper and serve very we'll.
In fact. rubber soles made of such stuff
are better than others. Ii you would like
to get an idea OF the extent to which this
is carried on take trip to Naugatuck,
Conn.,, whore there are immense rubber
works.
"You will probably see stack of old
rubber boots and shoes in the rear of the
factory, towering above the building.
but it is not only in the making of
boots and shoes that old rubbers are used.
They are used in the making of rubber
mack intoshes, rubber tubes, fire hose,
machine betting and packing, pneumatic
tires for bicycles, carriage wheel tires,
railroad car springs and, in fact, almost
every thing made Of rubber. If this were
not done the price of rubber articles of all
kinds would be SO great that there would
be no market for them and no profit in
the manufacture.
1.-The scrap rubber industry is conse-
quently very important one, though for
obvious reasons the people engaged in it
do not like it to become too wei! known.
Some bicycle manufacturers especially
would not care to have it understood that
pneumatic tires are made OF mixture of
good and bad material.
''They prefer to have the public think
that such tires are composed of only the
best material, because buyers are natur-
ally anxious to obtain tires that Will wear
we'll. OF course, the proportion OF scrap
rubber in bicycle tires is small.
''Scrap rubber makes excellent pack
ing. In fact, it is the best adapted to
such things. So also with betting and
fire hose. The inside rubber must be
strong, but the outside wrappings are
Just as good if made of the cheaper ma
terial, and it lessons the cost. Carriage

They took him and Mott, who was only

wounded man in kalispel died the next

that there was another member OF the

remained behind when the others had

far from Two Medicine Lake. There
was a 500 reward Tor his capture, anu
one day not long after an old acuualnt-
ance ran across him, half starved and
sick. This robbers name was White.
White owned up To his old friend and
begged for supplies. The alleged friend
promised to bring him some the next
day, and appointed place OF rendezvous
in lonely spot. Early in the morning
this former friend stole out to the place
and hid in the bushes, and when White
came down from his hiding place to get
other man shot him dead from ambush,
and then brought in his body and got the
$500 reward.
This ended the mountain hunt for the
robbers and put stop to that sort of
crime in that section Of the West. Mott
and his companion were tried and found

of the State gave them a new trial, and at
| last accounts they were in Helena jail.
There is very little doubt that they will
be hanged ultimately, and this band
of train-rObbers, like most other bands
| Of such desperate men, will be broken
up and wiped out. This will serve to en-
| phasiZe the fact that the train robbery is
a kind of crime that really never pays,
and one which almost always ends dis
| astrously. Such men have not only to

The Boston Boy Explains.

"Apropos of the peculiarly American
tendency TO explain things" he was say
ing there occurs to my mind the at
tempt sometimes made to account for the
derivation of the compound word Welsh
rabbit. / regret 10 notice that webster
falls into the common error of consider
ing the word rabbit a corruption OF rare
bit. Now, as shown by photographers
who have had tile advantage Of q techni-
cal acc uaintance with the facts relating
to the origin OF the word, Weish-rabbit
is merely slang term and not corrnp-
ton at all. 1t never was anything but
Welsh-rabbit, and in its genesis it was
essentially a slang term, yet. by reason
of its long habitude in the language, it
has lost or outgrown what might be
called the coarseness of its origin, and is
now entitled to place in the accepted
vocabulary without any apology or tanci-
fuI explanation. In proof OF this may
cite other examples. Dotabiy"-

CHICAGO, April 30.-In attempting to
arrest three colored men at Spring ard
State streets late last night Officer Golden
shot and killed one OF them Instantly, but
not until he himself had been twice
wounded, and officer McDermott had
narrowly escaped mortal wound in the

The wounds were1 the result of fusil-

The two colored men, who seemed to be
unharmed, escaped.

pected OF having committed several burg.

the policemen met these three cOlored
