rotating bullet and a gun that gives this
perfect spinning motion. Ask any
narksman why bullet that is given a
rotary motion is more penetrating and
direct and he will tell you that it is so,
but very few can explain why. I have
just come across an explanation of the
phenomenon in the pages of "Inven-
tion," and inclose it to you for publica-
ton in your Bureau OF Information"
as 1 am sure it will interest many as it
has me. Respectfully, GUNNER.
The article referred to by our corre-
srondent is as follows:
An interesting experiment illustrates
the stability given to a moving body by
rotating or spinning it rapidly, as in the
case of a rifle bullet. The experiment
can be made by any cyclist when clean
ing his machine. Assuming the front
wheel is detached, lay it upon the floor,
and keeping the axle vertical by the
hand, give the wheel a vigorous spin.
The axle remains unaffected, the wheel
running in the ball-raceS. Now lift the
wheel by means of the axle and put the
left hand under the wheel and catch the
other end of the axle. You now have
horizontally revolving wheel, and you
will be astOnished to find how difficult
it is to turn the wheel into a vertical
position as the spinning continues. Let
this cease and you can do as you like
with the Wheel but give it vigorous
spin and you will find, whatever position
it was then in, it will show the pervers-
ity of pig If you attempt to change 1t.
In making this experiment get good
grip as it throws a very considerabl bic
strain on the arms and feels, indeed,
as though one were struggling with
some aerial wrestler. Imagine now
shot starting on its course with this
rotary motion; if it meets an obstruc-
ton fairly and squarely the forward mo-
ton will be somewhat arrested, but the
boring action due to rotation will give
i terrible penetrating power. Again,
suppose it strikes at a slight angle and
you may think it VIII glance off like
stone from a smooth piece of walling
The new force, however, here comes into
play. and most decidedly objects to the
alteration of direction, thereby causing
penetration that would be quite inapos-
sible under other circumstances. After
making the above experiment you will
find you have q much-increaSed respect
for a shot fired from q iified barrel

Among many explanations that are
printed. we take this from the New
York Evening POST fer your benefit:
THE following explanation OF 16 to l
by Sailer & Stevenson Of Philadelphia
is about right: 1t means that sixteen
ounces of silver should be held for debt
paying purposes to be worth as much as
che ounce of gold. One ounce of stand
ard gold will coin in gold dollars SIS go.
Sixteen ounces of standard silver Will
coin SIS 60 in silver dollars. These six
teen ounces Of silver can be bought in
the markets Of the world to-day for
50 o. There would therefore, be a
profit of SS 66 on an investment Of 50 94,
being about 81 per cent, if holder of
silver could take it to the mint and coin
it without charge into silver dollars
The advocates of free coinage favor a
law that will allow any holder of silver
brlllion-or, in fact, silver of any kind
fas the latter can readily be melted into
bars)-tfe right to take the same to any
mint of the United States and convert it
into silver coin free of charge. and force
X, cents worth of it upon his creditors
as a dollar"
We give also the explanation of the
Fresno "ExDositor," a Democratic pa
per: "At the present time, and for sew
eral years past, the pure silver in dol
lar of that metal weighed about six
teen times as much as the pure gold in
a gold dollar, the exact weight being
% % grains of gold and 311.25 grains of
silver. This gave rise TO the expression
now so commonly used, '16 to j. When
the mint was first founded in this coun-
try. Hamilton and Jefferson agreed that
a pound of gold was worth in the mar
kets OF the world about fifteen pounds of
silver thereby fixing the ratio at 10 to
l. Under the provisions of the coinage
laws then passed, anyone could bring
as much OF either metal to the mint as
he desired and have ii coined. This,
which was free and unlimited Coinage
of both gold and silver. was called BIZ

Anne E. Partridge, executrix, re-

Stockholders liability Affirmed.
An account stated is a mere acknowl-
edgnent Of the amount of an existing
liability between the parties. From it
the law implies a promise to pay the
admitted amount. Thereby rises a new
and independent cause of action so far
that a recovery may be had without set
ting forth or proving the original con-
tract or accounts or the separate items
Of liabaility from which the balance
results.
Where a plaintiff, after averring
facts establishing the creation and ex-
istence of the original Indebtedness,
proceeded to show a reduction of the
amount by way of account stated, the
averments, not being designed to found
a cause of action upon the stated ac-
count but set forth as a transaction be-
tween the creditor and the corporation
by what the corporations debt was di-
minished, and accordingly the stock
holders liability therefor, could not be
held to amount to more than mere
admission by the plaintiff of a reduc-
ton of the debt Whether reduced by
payment or convention was one and the
same thing to the stockholders who
prodted by him, and upon both the cred
itor and corporation the agreed amount
in the absence Of fraud or mistake was
binding.
