Penetration OF BulIet. in snow.

Some curious tests have been made
lately Of the penetration of projectiles
in snow. According TO the report in
Cosmos Paris the Lebel rifle was the
weapon used, and some snow heaps,
from one 90 two Yards thick, were
placed on the firing range situated
near Aurillac and fired at from dis
lance of fifty yards. 1t was found that
the bullet had stopped at IA depth Of
about five feet 1t is believed that the
great velocity of the projectile and its
rotation $500 turns attracts TO it par
ticlcs of frost and minute iciclcs, which
end by forming ball and practically
annihilates It's penetration.

nod,e. Preserved by Choke-D.mp.

A curious story, illustrating the pre-
sentative properties of cholte-damp,
comes from China. In the province of
Anhul party of miners recently struck
an ancient shaft where history records
that great catastrophe occurred four
hundred years ago The miners on
opening the old shaft came upon up
ward of one hundred and seventy
bodies of the former workers lying
where they had been overcome with
foul gases four centuries back. The
corpses were as if life had left them
yesterday, quite fresh looking, and not
dccaycd in any way. On an attempt
being made TO move them outside for
burial they crumbled away, leaving
nothing but pile of dust and the REM
nants of the stronger part Of their
clothing The miners, terrified, fled
from the spot, and. though there were
valuable deposits of coal in the shaft,
nothing would induce the superstitious
men 10 return TO their work.
