A New Gun.

If imagination is taxed to believe
that by the aid of certain raysof light,
managed in a special fashion, we shall
soon be able to study every portion Of
the anatomy of the living being, how
much more startling is this announce
ment of the capabilities of the new
Sommery gun: 'This gun uses no
powder or explosive, yet it discharges
260, 900 a minute, with a range OF
G000 yards. Two men, working an
easy lever behind the gun, keep il
charged. The propelling force has
beon coniectured to be compressed
air." This astonishing piece of mech
anism has been exhibited in Washing
ton, and is now waiting examination
by the Board on Fortiications. If
half of the stories told of it are true,
war will be an affair of moments, in.
deed of seconds, instead of months or
years, as the balls from a number OF
these guns would sweep an army ont
of existence in an incredibly short
space Of time. The shot would come
like q cyclone, and no living thing
could survive the onslaught. New

Rccord Of thc Usc Of Tonrs.

Tongs were said to be invented in
China about 1922 b. O., but represen-
tations of them have been found on
the Egyptian monuments 2200 b. @.
In India they are claimed as in uso
since 900 B. G. Their principal en-
ployment in that country, where fires
during the most of the year are super
nuous, was to facilitate tho handling
of dead bodies in funeral pyres. Seven
ty pairs of tongs, some bronze, some

WHAT MAY BE MADE INTO ENsnAaE.

NhAI MAJ DE- MADE lNIO ENSlLANtEs
The first ensilage ever made was of
beet leaves, at the great beet sugar
farms of France and Austria. The silos
were then mere pits, like graves in the
ground, and were covered with the
earth taken out of the excavation.
This was the fashion thirty years ago
and before the first silo was heard of
on this side of the ocean. The writer
of this saw the ensilage taken out of
such a pit for feeding the oxen that
were plowing on a 400-acre field, to
be sown with beets, in the year 1866.
This had been the fashion for many
centuries, doubtless, in Eastern Eu-
rope. The next fashion was for costly
stone structures, in which the fodder
was pressed down by many tons of
stone laboriousIy heaped on a plank
covering over tho fodder. This was
followed by the present method oi
sweet ensilage, effected by permitting
the ensilage to heat SO as to kill the
germs of decomposition by which the
acid was produced, the ensllage previ-
ously being sour and smelling like q
sour whisky cask. Our present method
seems to be perfect, and by it any
green vegetable matter whatever may
be used for ensilage. e.-New Yorl

DECLINE or ALCOHOL As A MEDICINE.
Thoughtful observers recognEo that alco.

thoy do express great conservatism and eau

although somo dogmatio authors rofusH TO
recognize tho change OF practice and still
clingto tue idea o tue food value of spirits.

the demand. distiller, who. ten years ago.
sold many thousand gallons OF choice whis-
keys almost exclusively to medical mon, has
lost his trade altogether and gone out OF
business. Vino men, too, recognize this
change, and arc making every effort TO have
wine used in the place OF spirits in tho sick
room. Proprietary medicin, dealers are put
ting all sorts OF compounds OF wine with
iron, bark, etc, ON the market with tho Same
iden. II is doubtful IL any Of these viii To
abe TO secure any permanent place In thera-
peutics.
The fact Is, alcohol is passing out of prac-
teal therapeutics because its real action is
becoming known. Facts arc accommodating
in the laboratory, In tho autopsy room, at
the bedside, and ia tho work OF experimental
psychologists, which show that alcohol H. n
deprrssnnt and n narcotic; that It cannot
build up tissue, but always acts as n de-
generative power; and thut its apparent Of
fccts Of raising the hearts nction and quicli-
enng functional activities are misleading
and erroneous.
French and German specialists have dc
nouncod spirits both ms IA beverage and Il
medicine, and shown by actual dcmOustra-
tion that alcohol is a poison and dcpressnut.
and that any therapeutic action Il is assumed
to hoVo is open 10 question.
All this Is not the result Of agitation AMI
Wild condemnation by persons who fco

spirits. 1t is simply the outcome OF tho

NEW PUBLICATIONS.

Estes and Lauriat desc rye special
words of praise for the variety and inter-
est they show in their publications for
young people and children. Already,
anticipating the holiday season which is
but two months away. this firm sends
out an unusual numb ber of books for
Juveniles. Christmas is not Christmas
to the young folks without plenty of new
books to lay aside oa that festival day as
something that will '.last. - to be gloated
over on rainy afternoons or happy winter
evenings. A popular set of stories "Col-
lege Life in all Countries" has dealt with
Japan, Italy and Russia and now con-
Germs itself with France. The author is
Andre Laurie; the translator E. P. Rob-
ins, with illustrations by j. Gef1ory
The pictures contained in 'Schoolboys in
Franco" are odd and Id fashioned rath-
or than graceful and the text is by no
means of the quality of "Tom Brown"
and his rare confreres; but as faithful
chronicle Of foreign school life we hearth
ly commend 1t. Boys like to know just
how their own experiences stand, in the
light of different nat.onalities and sur
roundings and here they will encounter
an atmosphere so unlike the American
that IL will please and interest them and
give them plenty to think about. (Lor-
ing. Short & Harmon. Price S1.5o.)
By the same author we have "The
Crystal City"-a handsome volume,
translated by L. A. Smith and illustrat-
ed from original drawings by G. Rouk.
In this instance Laurie turns from facts
woven into story, as in his Schoolboy
Series, to fancy and marvel, somewhat
after the fashion of Jules Verne; and
deals with a wonderful city sunk long
ago beneath the sea and discovered In all
its beauty and mystery by o French
naval officer. For its Inhabitants, and
the adventures of those visiting its
precincts, as well as for devices for OBJ
tanning food and air, We recommend
young readers to the romance itself.
(Loring, Short & Harmon. Price 81. 50.)
] Mrs. Laura q. Richards Is fasoinat-
ing writer for children and is always
welcomed and appreciated. In some of
her stories the poetic element prevails
and when this Is the case the sketchs
resulting will be found more adapted to
older peoples reading even though they
have children for their subject. This
applies to "Isla Heron" a beautiful
little dream of the sea. where the spirit
of the deep, or of the bird that flies
over the wave, il inoarnate in the pirlisb
form of the little heroine. The ideal,ty
of the story is contrasted with the very
real figures Of Joe Brazyborie and his
severe sister-in-law 1.-THE Widder.' as

just on the eve of the battle the Popo-

pieces. In Florida the chairman of the
Populist party hrs publicly declared for
MeKinle y and advised his party to vote
for him. In Tennessee the Populists are
in open revolt against the Democratic
candidate for governor. and Bryan is
certain to feel the effect of it. In
Illinois Chairman Jones and Gov Altaeld
have quarrelled, the latter charging the
former of abandoning Illinois, and the
former accusing the latter of selling out
Bryan. There is an old adage which
says that when rogues fall out honest
