The mechanism, NJ. Sommery ex-

giving q slight oscillating movement
to the trail by means OF lever worked
by two men. the trail being geared d.

How the muscular strength of two

to throw 260 000 bullets minute, with
a range Of about 5000 yards. is
something that the inventor Is not yet

used.
The power of the weapon seems to
vary greatly with the length Of the
piece. one two feet long giving mug
zle velocity of 1854 feet second. while
for the nine-foot form the. amazing

The Globe-republican., 1896-06-04


Lieut.. John c. W. Brooks thus writes
Of his dog: While a gun was being
loaded Bombshell would sit on the
parapet and watch the operation. That
finished he would Jump up and look
out to sea over the range, and then
,scamper down from the parapet and
follow us into the bombproof.
AS usual Bombshell was on hand to
see the test Of the new big gun.
He superintended the loading, and
while was aiming the gun he looked
over the range as carefully as did the
lookout; and from his air Of response
bilftJ one might have supposed that to
him had been intrusted the duty Of see
ing that the range was clear.
But when We started for the bomb
proof, instead of following us. as was
his custom, Bombshell remained on the
parapet, looking out to sea and shining
the air. In a moment he dashed of
through the bushes which covered the
narrow beach between the parapet and
the sea.
Though thinking his action peculiar,
I was sure that he would not remain
In front of the gun, because he mad
done so once. when quite young and
inexperienced. and the burning grains
Of powder-which are always thrown
out by the blast Of gun-had buried
themselves In his skin, burning him
badly. He had never forgotten this.
/ Certain that he would take care of
himself. I paid no further attention to
him, but went with the others into the
bombproof. and took my place by the
electric key. ready to fire at the COM
mand of the captain.
Just as the command Fire" was
about to be given, Bombshell resp
peared on the parapet and began to
bark furiously into the very muzzle Of
the gun.
I called to him, but he would not
come. Annoyed at the delay Of the
test, I tried to catch him. but could
not do 30. As approached him he re-
treated. still barking and apparently
urging me to follow him.
Finally convinced from the dogs &C
lions that something was wrong, the
electric wire was disconnected from the
gun, and followed Bombshell. Wag-
ging his tail with Joy at having &C.
complished his object, he led me
through the underbrush to the beach.
There. concealed behind a clump Of
bushes, were two little children quiet
ly digging in the sand and entirely un-
conscious Of the danger in which they

Some Oddltlea.

The Soar family of Ambaston. Der
byshire, England, have a curious heir
loom in the shape of loaf Of bread
which is now over 600 years old. The
founders of the family. 1t appears, were
great friends of King John. When that
monarch died he made several land
grants to the Scars. One of these
tracts. it appears. had always been
conveyed with loaf of bread as Wit
ness Of good faith. When King John
made over the papers to the original
Soar he sent the traditional loaf along
with the writings" and the deed and
the loaf are both kept to this day as
sacred relics.

Rutabagas for Fodder.

HUtA0AG10 TOT EOoOeF.
It Is gratifying to see SO many Amer
tcan farmers putting their waste Places
or spare pieces Of land into rutabagas
and turnips for early fall or long win
ter feeding. They are getting the Flu
ropean idea Of root crops. There the tar-
nips and rutabagas are sown broadcast
as are almost all grains. and if not de-
sired as roots, the foliage then is :.sed
for green food. Just imagine the results
Of twenty-acre oatpatch treated in
this way! Think Of the tremendous
amount Of green fodder. magnificent
fodder too. coming into full play DUR
ing hot August and September. Why.
. field of rutabagas and turnips. there.
for cattle food is worth almost as much
% the oats gathered therefrom! An
other good plan is to SOW rutabaga
seed. especially the variety known az
ealxer's Lacrosse, Wis, Mammoth Rus
alan variety, or his Milk Globe turnip
sort. at the rate Of one-half pound per
acre, into the cornheld. just before the
last cultivation. This will give you
two good crops-one Of corn. the other
Of roots from the same land! One ad-
vantage Of the rutabaga Is that it can
be sown at any time Of the summer for
green food. while . sowing the latter
part Of July II the best in northern
states for big. sweet. juicy roots foR
winter storage and use.
