RanId Sneed Photographs.

Professor @. " Boys says that to
take photographs of bullet as it is
being projected through the air at a
maximum possible speed it is neces-
sary TO have recourse to a method of
illumination infinitely more rapid than
that given by an electric spark. For
this purpose a steel mirror, so mount
ed as TO reyolve at the enormous speed
of 1000 times per seeoud, is used.
This mirror is not larger than a silver
twenty-tiye-cent piece, and the beams
of light given OIL from it pass across
the screen at such an unthinkable rate
of speed that it enables the pho
tographers to take pictures OF the bull
let on exposures of only one-millionth

An attractive feature of the Cotton
States and international Exposition,
to be held at Atlanta, Ga, next Sep
tember, will be the reproduction of
the Worlds Columbian Exposition in
miniature by G. w. Ferris, the builder
of the Ferris wheel. The great Worlds
Fair will be reproduced in its en-
tirety, complete in every detail, on a
scale of 1-140th. This makes the

exposition seventy-fve feet long.
Searchlights will be shown on the
battleship and the various buildings,
the intramural railway will be seen
with cars in motion, the whaleback
steamer will be seen arriving and de-
parting, and Lake Michigan will ap-
pear in the distance. By electrical
and mechanical effects, sunrise. day

The fish supply in Lake Ontario is
substantially exhausted, and the Chi
cago Herald announces that the sup
ply in Lake Erie is going rapidly.
Fishermen have caused the fsh famine
by selling for fertilizing purposes the
small fish caught in the nets with
those of eatable size. The Ohio Leg
islature is trying to devise a law for
fish protection in Lake Erie, but such
legislation practically would be use
less unless similar laws were enacted
by other States bordering on the lake,
and by Ontario. The magnificent
fish preserves of the United States are
not exhaustless, and, unless care is
taken for their perpetuation the tinny
tribes in public waters will follow the
fate of the buffalo.

EXPERT ON CHEESE.

The French are witty race, but
French servants are reported the
stupidest in the world. 1t is of per-
son of that race that this story is told.
Justine was reproved by her mis-
tress for bringing home Holsters that
were not fresh.
.'You must positively not get any
Holsters, Justine" said her mistress,
"unless they are alive"
The servant took the injunction
deeply into her consciousness. A few
days afterward her mistress sent her
to get some cheese.

asked the mistress.
"Oh, yes, madam" answered the
servant. 81 took pains to see that it

Manager Frank NJ. Whitney, of the
New Castle Plow Works, makes a curl
GUS assertion. He says: "Plows are
made differently for certain counties
and States. The tendency of a son is
to use the same kind of a pillow used
by his father. In Lawrence Coun nty
the use of the left-handed pillow is
almost the rule, but in Mercer County
the right-hand pillow is used, and this
unaccOuntable difference in the kind
of plow used extends to other States
in the Union. In central and eastern
Pennsylvania the left-handed pillow is
used, and wherever the Amish Ger
man farmers have emigrated from this
county the sons are almost sure to use
the left-handed plows. We would
never dream of sending a left-handed
pillow to Michigan, neither would we
to Ohio. Among German people only
left-handed plows are used, while the
reverse is the case with people from
Mexico and Italy. cannot tell why
this is 50, but it is. - Pittsburg Dis

A number of Western water powers
transmit electric power from fifteen to

1t is probable that Tampa and Port

In France the population averages
about 1877 to the square mile. In this
country the average is twenty-one to

A recent survey has established the

The cold of Canada seems to dimin-

Between 1928 and 1887 Hudson's Bay
was closed an average of 184 days
every year; now the ice last 179
days.
The deepest ice ever found lies at
depth of 116 metres under a great foI-
est between the Ural Mountains and
the Sea Of Ochotsk. A well was driven
and the ground was found to be frozen
stiff at that depth.
1t is stated that DIR. Frolich, of BeY-

tanning nitric acid from the free nitro

A French railway has arranged its
Telegraph lines so that at given sig

An English chemist named Arm
strong asserts it as his belief that no
chemical action ever takes place ex-
cept in the presence of some substance
capable of being decomposed by cleo
tricity, and that, therefore, all chem
ical phenomena are electric.
Owing to repressive measures by
the County Council, glanders declined
at the rate of sixty per cent. in Lon

stablemen have been warned that the
disease may be easily communicated
to man and is almost always fatal.
Ground mustard, mixed with little
water, is an excellent agent for cleans

odor by the same method.
Captain W. j. l.. Wharton writes
that ocean storms originate chiefly in
regions where warm and cold currents

Currents meet.

Damage Done by One Shell.

What a single shell can do-one
modern projectile flying true to its
mark-was manifested at the battle
between the Chinese and Japanese
fleets off the Yalu River in September.
One Canet shell weighing nearly 1000
pounds, of the Holtzer make, struck
the Chinese battle ship Ping Yuen,
crushing through the after part of the
armored deck, tearing vast hole,
through which the water poured in
such volumes that the vessel went
down, carrying most of her officers
and crew with her. The cost of such
a she'll is somewhere between $500 and
$1,000, but the cost of battle ship is
from SO, 100000 up. Such evidence
of the power of a single shot goes far to
support Admiral Faragut's belief that
in the race between projectile and
plate the former was bound to win,
aud the result would be that armor
would come off ships as it came off
men, and for the same reason, that
ceasing to be a protection it became
a burden. London Engineering.

1t will be remembered how the tor
pedo boat, the Cushing, sneaked into
Newport harbor in spite of the fact
that a sharp lookout was kept for her
ashore with the Gs istance of big
search-lights, The value of these lit
tie destroyers is shown to the New
York Sun in dispatches from the seat
OF war in China. The destruction of
the biggest ironclsds in the Chinese
navy seems to have been the result of
audacious and successful dashes by
these tiny craft. They can finish any
thing aAoat SO long as they are not
found out in time.

The Reprehensible Small Boy.

There are some smart boys in Mas.

law does not permit the schools to be

THE DRAMA OF THE ROSE.

The number of desertions in the

a single week lately no fewer than five
deserters arrived at Strasburg alone !;
while at the present time some six
hundred French deserters live in AL
