A BOTTLE CANNON.
How to Make and Discharge This
HARMLESS Piece of Artillery.

How to Make and Discharge This
Harmless Piece of Artillery.
Take thick empty bottle, a cham
pagne quart bottle will do, and pour
water into it until it is one-third full.
In the water dissolve one of the pow
ders-bicarbonate of sooa-that drug
gists sell to make seltzer water.
Put the contents of the other pack
age, tartaric acid, in a playing card
rolled up into a tube and tied around
with a thread, one end of the tube be-
ing sealed. or plugged, with two pei
lets of plotting paper.
Suspend this miniature cartridge
from the cork by means of a piece of
thread attached by a tack. The open
end of the cartridge must be upper
most, and when all is ready, you cork
the bottle tightly, having allowed
enough thread to swing the cartridge
clear of the water.
To explode the cartridge and dis
the bottle horizontally upon two pen
ellis upon the table; they will act as
your gun carriage.
Pretty soon the water will penetrate
the blotting paper plugs and reach the
tartaric acid. Effervescence will at
once take place, and the carbonic
acid gas thus generated will throw the
cork from the bottle with a loud re-
port the cartridge trailing after it like
a rocket.
And you will have a still further ini4
tation of field artillery in the reco:l of
the bottle, which will roll back sew
eral inches.
Make this little experiment, It is
both pretty and harmless.

AN ELK SAVED HIM.
A Hunters Experience With an
Engaged Cow.

Providence Journal.
A curious story Of adventure comes
from Montana. While a freight train
was lying over at a small mountain
station the engineer borrowed a shot
gun and started out for a short hunt.
He skirted along the base of the noun
tain for an hour without finding any
game, and was about returning to his
train when a cow made her appear
ance. Before he realized that there
was any danger, the animal made a
rush at him, and he ran with all his
speed, hoping to gain enough distance
to be able to halt and fire. But the
cow was a better racer, and in a few
minutes caught him by his clothing,
splitting his coat from waist to collar
and tossing him into the air. Getting
to his feet as quickly as possible he
lodged behind a tree, and then, to his
dismay, found that the gun barrel was
bent so as to be useless.
The next ten minutes We're very
lively ones. The COW chased the en-
gineer round and round the tree, and
when he got a chance to hit her with
the gun barrel it only seemed to en-
rage her the more. 1t was only QueS-
ton CT time when he would succumb
to fatigue, but a diversion occurred
that saved his life An angry snort
was heard, and a big elk appeared
upon the scene, head down, and pre-
pared for a fight The COW was so
mad by this time that she was ready
for anything, and in another moment
the two animals dashed at each other.
The engineer watched the combat for
a few minutes, until prudence suggest
ed that he should make a retret while
he could. He regained the train in
safety, and never knew the outcome of
the battle, but the presumption is that
the elk was the victor.

Billiard Story in n Chicago Paper
Rouses His Ire.

Rouses His Ire.
The following clipping from yester-
days Chicago Times-Herald will in a
measure explain itself:
William Harrison, familiarly known
as Kid Harrison, whose tall form
and smooth, sallow face is known to
frequenters of down town billiard
halls, is planning trip to st. Paul and
Minneapolis. Harrison in person ac-
knowleoged Saturday night that he
was going under an agreement with
a st. Paul roomkeeper, and that his
identity was to be concealed.
Harrison is q. good billiard player,
who should fiEd such tactics unneces-
sary. At the balk-line game he can
average well UP with any Of the other
short stops. A trio to St. Paul and
minneapolis with his identity known
would doubtless net him a fair return
from exhibition games. The dollars
err can scarcely compensate him for
his subsequent loss of reputation.
Thomas Foley, of this city, has en-
gagged Mr.. Harrison to come here and
play a series of games at his billiard
the Times-Herald was indignant, and
claimed that injustice had been done
Mr.. Harrison by the publication, which
ne declared libel. He Immediately
wired to a friend in Chicago:
Correct the statement in the Times
Herald about Harrison coming here
under an assumed name to give exhi-
bitions. If he comes here, It will be a
regular employment. Find out who
prompted the infamous lie''

TO RECEIVE CAMBRIDGE.
Elaborate Preparations at Yale
for the Coming Athletes.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Aug. r.
Elaborate preparations are being made
for the reception of the Cambridge
team of track athletes which will train
in this city three weeks, beginning the
first week in September. The plans for
their reception have been left to Knight
B. Wade. ex-manaGer of the Yale team.
Mr.. Wade is putting the Yale field in
the best possible condition for the
games. The improvements are
marked. A new turfed track for the
hurdles. (after the English style) is
nearing completion and will be hard
ened in a fortnight. The only other
event which will be run in different
manner from the American fashion is
the jump, where the take-off is of
different material. This change has
been made and the cinder track has
been smoothed down till it is in the
best possible shape.
Notice has been sent by the Cam
bridge team that not over fifteen men
will be taken across the water. Each
university is allowed two men in each
one OF the eleven events. The Yale
team will probably number nearly
twenty men, in only one or two cases
entering the same man in more than
one event. The English team will
double up more extensively. Probably
about thirteen men will be entered by
Cambridge. The Yale team will train
for the event at Travers Island. Capt
Sheldon will probably summon about
twenty-five candidates and enter about
twenty OF the most promising for the
games. 1t has been settled by the
Yale management the direction of the
sale of seats shall be wholly under an
intercollegiate and not professional
committee. This COMMITTEES will send
application blanks to all the Yale al
umni associations in the large cities
Of the country, giving each one its al
lotted portion.

the Chippewa Falls Club.
To the Editor of the Globe
HAMMOND, Wis, Aug. 12.-I noticed
in your issue of Saturday, Aug. 10,
communication from w. H Lucas, of
Chippewa Falls, Wis, in which he
states that he has been trying to ar
range for a series of games with me
and has not been successful. I desire
to say that we did not omit Chippewa
Falls because we did not care to meet
them, but simply that it did not occur
to US at the time. Mr.. Lucas desired
us to play on Saturday and Sunday.
We refused the club at River Falls
for the same date, and as a part of
our club would not play upon Sunday
we could not accommodate them. Mr..
Lucas ought to know that it is Gus
tomary for all home clubs to pay the
expenses of the visiting team, which
Hammond has invariably done. If Mr..
Lucas means business, and wants to
play ball, he can deposit $50 in the
Bank of Hammond and we will cover
the same with an equal amount to play
a series of three games as follows:
First game at Hammond, second at
Chippewa Falls, and the third at Me-

An aeronaut has raised the interest

a balloon five miles above the surface
of the earth would he ever strike the
ground?' At first one would be like
ly to say that not only would he
strike it, but he would strike it hard.
But the aeronaut has figured out that
it would take seventeen seconds to
make the trip, and that in the las,

The difficulty there will be in settling

For the sake of adding to the store of
human learning many have gone up
North Poleward, but there the ele-

New York's present method is sensa-
