How Hard a Gun Kicks,

The London Field prints the results Of
tests with 10 gauge gun weighing 8
pounds ID ounces and having 80 inch bar
rels One ounce of shot (27O pellets) and
3s grains of No. black powder made up
the charge used for both barrels.
Both barrels registered the same gas
pressure, l. 80 tons to the square inch, but
the kick or reooil was four-tenths Of a
pound greater from the left barrel, which
also gave the greatest speed.
The kick of a gun is always of interest
to a sportsman. On 1t depends much of a
duck hunters sport. II his gun kicks like
a mule, it gives him n violent headache,
every shot increasing 1t, till at last he feels
as II every heart beat WAS cannon shot
battering his head to pieces. Many day
sport is lost by the users Of excessive
charges in guns of too big bore.

Repairing n Wheel.

In speaking of the general interest felt
In everything that pertains to the wheel,
an exchange says:
Persons want to know all about the BIZ
cycle, its construction, its various parts
and the improvements appearing every
week on the market. These new devices,
however, are so numerous that it is diff
cult for Il man to keep track of them.
Filling "a tire with bran Is the latest
means of making temporary repairs OF
punotures. A short time ago wheelman
while out on the road ran into a lot of
thorns. They punotured his tire so badly
that 1t would require several hours to re-
pair 1t. farmer who saw the wheel
mans dilemma conceived the idea of re-
pairing the tire in unique manner He
simply filled the tire with bran. 1t was
not quite as resilient as the ordinary pneu-
matte tire, but served its purpose we'll
and aided the rider in reaching home
without much delay.
