A Hundred Miles an Hour.

An electrical engineer has been ex-
bibiting in London the model of his
proposed single-rail electric line for
speeds of $50 miles an hour. The rail
is fixed on>a V-shaped trestle, and runs
up into the body of the car, which, as
it were, runs astride of it. The car
runs in 12 bearing wheels, and seats
1875 passengers, and space for their
baggage. One of the difficulties met
with in schemes for excessive high
speed travel is the tendency of the car
to run off the track. By running the
rail within the car the lateral ten
dency of the train is overcome. But

seemingly narmiess-looking ttIe,piece
of metal is beyond belief.
AT 10 yards the bullet will pass
through two feet of seasoned white oak
plank; at 200 yards through 3% feet of
poplar or 0.20 inches of steel or 0.30
inches of wrought iron; at 1000 yards
through inches of deal plank, and at
$500 yards still has sufficient force to
pass through a man. On leaving the
muzzIe of the rifle the bullet is going at
the rate of 1000 feet second. The bull
let is a little over one inch long and con-
sists of a nickeled steel case filled with
lead, and weighs 22O grains. Forty
three grains of smokeless powder are
used to propel the bullet.
Quite recently experiments were
made at Fort Riley, Kansas, by firing
into human cadavers, and photographs
made of the bodies and parts hit by the
projectiles. During the recent prac-
tice march of the command from Fort
Thomas it was necessary to kill beef
for the use of the troops. The animal
was tied to a tree and a sharpshooter
detailed to shoot the animal. He placed
himself about 20 feet from the animal
and fred into the center of the head.
The beef fell on its knees, rolled over on
its side and was dead. The bullet en-
tered the middle of the forehead, Irav-
ersed the neck, passed through the heart
and out of the side and on into the
woods, where no trace of it could be
found in the trees. Such is the eff
feet of the new rife which has been
adopted as humane arm for our SOL

SAVED BY SALT WATER.

1t Is Injected Into the Veins of an In
jured Man.
No case in the history of Hahnemann
hospital has ever interested the doctors
and nurses SO much Us the remarkable
one of Charles Chatterton, who was
struck in the side by the shaft of a cab
at Broad and Filbert streets on the 7th
inst, says the Philadelphia Ledger. He
was taken to the hospital in grave con-
dition, and rapidly became so much
worse that, fearing he had been inter-
nally injured DR.. Northrop made an in
cision and found the spleen badly torn
in two places.
While this was being done the patient
was sinking rapidly, and, as last re-
sort, although the case was regarded as
almost hopeless, three and one-half
quarts of warm salt water were in
jected into the veins through the arm
and leg to take the place of the exceed
ingly large quantity OF blood that was
lost. This infusion has been used be-
fore in such cases, where the loss Of
blood has been great, for, were it not
done, the heart, having nothing to
pump, would soon cease beating.
The injured spleen was carefully and
antiseptically packed in gauze to stop
its bleeding, and Chatterton was placed
in bed, with but little hope of his recov-
cry. But he lived through the night,
and, although slightly stronger the
next day, was still so low that there was
scarcely any hope that he would sur
vive the injury and shock.
AS Chatterton still continued to i'm.
prove in the face of such odds, the doc
tors began to take more interest in his
case. He was given blood-making foods
and two subsequent infusions of salt
water. The treatment seemed to agree
with him particularly well, for it is
said he is now fairly on the road to re-
covery.

DIDN'T BELIEVE IT WAS ALIVE
Terrapin on Bosom of Young Lady Fright
ems a Bibulous Passenger.

~
A fat, smooth-faced man with left.
over jag sat gloomily in the corner of a
Wabash avenue car and viewed his sur
roundings with hazy and blood-shot
eye.
A good-loolking young woman, whose
attire betokened familiarity with fash
ionable society, got on the car at Con-
gress street and took a seat opposite,
says the Chicago Tribune. The fat mali
apparently did not notice her entrance,
but in few moments he suddenly fixed
his eyes upon her in a frozen stare,
while look of doubt, fear and hope in
contorted combination crept over his
countenance.
He tried to take his gaze from the
young woman, but seemed to be fas-
cinated by something. After a pro-
longed stare of half a minute or so he
suddenly bolted for the door, and, with
cut waiting for the car to stop, jumped
off and rapidly disappeared down side
street.
At that moment the object of the fat
mans alarm became apparent to the
other occupants of the car. 1t was q
harmless little terrapin attached to a
gold chain and was crawling about over
the young woman's bosom in it's efforts
to escape. The fat man evidently could
not believe his eyes, but the thing was
very much alive.
This little creature is simply fore
runner of fad that has been taken
up by ultra fashionable people in New
York. 1t bids fair to become more pop.
ular than the chameleon because the
terrapin is less repulsive to women and
is not so delicate. All it requires is
bowl of water at night and few flies
for its breakfast and supper. On this
treatment it will live long time.
His shell is capable of taking on q
high polish, and when attached to a
gold chain makes an ornament that
is very much admired by some people.
Some ladies find it difficult to overcome
their squeamishness when the cold and
clammy pet attempts to warm its feet
on their bare skin, but when fashion
dictates that it shall be worn a little
thing like this is not allowed to count.

THE FORCE OF BULLETS.
Illustrated by Remarkable Find
Recently Made.
Springfield Rife Bullet Pierced by the
Smaller Missile of the Lately Intro
duced Regular Army Maya
zine Rifle.

In battles, where bullets fly as thick
as hailstones, instances are known
where two bullets have met and mashed
one another into a shapeless mass, for
a few cases of such meetings are re-
corded by such shapeless masses of lead
being picked up on the field of battle
and preserved in the museums of our
country. But case similar to the one
presented by the illustration herewith
is very rare, and is probably the first of
its kind known, as it shows the old lead
bullet used in the Springfield rife
pierced by the bullet of the new maya
zine rifle now in use in the army. The
strange condition of affairs was picked
up on the government rifle range up the
Licking river, where the troops of
Fort Thomas hold their target practice,
and is looked upon by the officer to
whom it belongs as one of the strangest
things of the kind he has ever met with
during his service. The Springfield
rife was in use from the time of the late
war until a year ago, when it was put
aside, and what is called the magazine
rifle, caliber 80, was issued to the troops.
The larger bullet shown in the illus
tration is the lead bullet fired from the
old Springfield, and the smaller one the
new bullet fired from the new rifle. In
rear of the targets upon the rife range
is an earth embankment which stops
the bullet after it has pierced the paper
target. Into this embankment the lead
bullet had bored its way some time
during the past years since the range
has been in use. There it has remained
undisturbed until the. small bullet en-
tered the earth at the same point and
pierced the old one. One peculiar
feature of the strange condition is that
the small bullet is as tightly imbedded
in the large one as if it had been fused
there, showing that the small one had
become so hot in passing through the
ground that it melted the leaden one in
its passage into it. This will not seem
strange when the terrific speed ar d
penetrating force of this little pro-
jectile is known. 1t travels 100 yards in

How Dogs Outwit Crocodiles.

When an Egyptian dog of the Nile
region wishes to drink at the rivers
edge he knows exactly how TO do it
and at the same time escape being
eaten by crocodile. In working out
his little piece of strategy he runs
a short way up the river and bowls
for some time. The crocodiles, at
tracted by the sound, Immediately
crowd TO that place, whereupon the
intelligent dog hastily runs to the part
of the river which the reptiles have
left and drinks in safety.

Ships Safe from Lightning.

The reason why ships are not struck
by lightning is attributed to the gen.
eral use which is now made of wire rope
for rigging purposes, as well as to the
fact that the hulls of ships are usually
constructed of iron or steel.
