A Mystery of the Rifle.

Something that no man understands
is why rife, clamped in an immovable
wise, will not put the bullets into the
same hole every time, even if the wind
does not interfere. A correspondent of
Shooting and Fishing tells how he put
a rifle of 80 caliber into wise and fired
it ten times, the sights being always
aimed directly at mark. The bullets
went all over a four-inch circle at so
yards. theoretically all ought to have
gone into the same hole. A man who
holds his rifle gripped hard at one time
and easily at another will not shoot as
well as one who takes the same hold of
his rife every time. The best results
are obtained from bench rests when

ton of the inefficient United States
navy could be anchored. Pixies peak
would be nearly nine feet higher than
the apparent sea level. The cities would
be built of glass as nearly as possible in
exact representation of their actual
architecture, and beneath them would
be run electric lines for illumination at
night.
Some idea of the magnitude of this
map can be grasped from the statement
that it would be nearly 1000, 900 times
larger than the annual map published
by the general land Office.
HRecently there has been a serious
and concerted effort in congress to
bring that vast body of legislators in
both houses to an appreciation of the
needs of coast Notifications. The
United States presents a water front
nearly as long as the imaginary line
which encircles the globe. One hour
spent along the mimic seacoast of this
map would be better exposition than
all the speeches that could be made in
congress.
"Out of the multiplicity of practical
advantages which would flow is the
stimulus such a map would give to
home-seeking. There are in the public
land states of this nation nearly 1,000,-
600 square miles of unoccupied terri
tory. If but half of this is arabic, 16,-
100000 families might have each 20
acre farm, and this under irrigation is
sufficient to produce independence and
even wealth" "
Senator Cannon's plan and PROPOSE
ton are ably seconded by his colleague,
Senator Brown, also of Utah, and n
number of other influential members of
the senate and house.

MAP TO COVER A MILE.
Plan to Reproduce the Topography
Of the Whole Country.
Senator Cannon, of Utah, Points Out Some
of the Advantages Which Would
Flow from the Completion
- of Such Work.

Senator Cannon, of Utah, has intro
duced in the senate joint resolution
which has for its object the construc-
ton in the neighborhood of the city of
Washington the most gigantic piece of
map-making ever undertaken in the
world. He proposes TO have the sur
face of the United States reproduced
on scale of one square yard of map
for each square mile of actual area.
This is not to be merely fat map, on
which the natural and artificial fixtures
of the country are to be indicated by
lines; but every feature of the country
mountains, lakes, rivers, ponds and
creeks, and cities and villages, are to be
reproduced in miniature.
In explanation of his plan, Senator
Cannon said to New York Herald
man:
First will be established the per-
iphery of the United States, aggregat-
ing 1885 miles, showing the exact
boundaries of water and land. The
imaginary geographical lines of state
division would be marked by footpaths.
The tract would then be graded, on
scale, from apparent sea levels on the
east and west to the greatest height
attained within our boundaries.
Skilled topographers and hydro
graphers would mark on its surface an
exact representation in miniature of
all that nature shows within the SPLEEN
did domain of our land; and to this
would be added what the map-makers
call culture or the delineation of the
handiwork of man. Some appointed
time of the year could be selected-say
the LIST of June, and the country repro
duced as of that day. The varying
colors and advancement of vegetation
from south to extreme north would be
shown, giving thereby some idea of the
latitudinal difference between the sew
eral sections of the country.
"The mighty Mississippi, with its Mis-
souri, tributary, would be 4,5o6 yards
long and three feet wide of actual water.
Raritan bay and lower New York bay
would have an actual area of 100 square
yards, upon which a mimic representa-

RAYS FIND A BULLET.
Difficult Operation Made Easy by a ROent.
gen Photograph.

gen Photograph.
DR.. f. c. Schaefer, professor Of
clinical surgery of the Northwestern
university medical school, Chicago,
performed an interesting operation last
week before the students.
Last December a colored man named
. James Murphy, living at No. 531 State
street, was struck in the right leg by
bullet fired by policeman at an cs-
Gaping burglar. The bullet entered
the outer side of Murphy's leg, just
above the knee. He was taken to the
county hospital, but probing failed to
locate the ball, and as it did not cause
much pain no incision was made, and
in few days he was discharged from
the hospital.
A short time ago the leg became so
painful that Murphy had to quit work.
He consulted DIR. Schaefer, who per-
suaded him to try the experiment OF
locating the ball by means of the
Roentgen ray. He consented, and the
photograph was made by DR.. o. L.
Schmidt, DR.. f. C. Harnisch and Paul
Brecht, at No. 103 Adams street.
After an exposure of two hours q
print was obtained, which plainly To-
Gated the bullet in the highest point
and fleshiest part of the thigh, about
nine inches above the spot where the
bullet entered. 1t had struck the bone
and glanced obliquely upward and in,
ward. The picture obtained is said to
be the most successful ever taken OF
the upper part of the thigh. The 10
cation of the bullet in the photograph
made the operation for it's removal q
very simple one, lasting less than three
minutes, but without the photograph
it would have been extremely difficult
if not impossible to find the bullet.

A DUMMY BALL-TOSSER.
1t Shoots Forth Sphere Every Invent
Seconds.

1t Shoots Forth q Sphere Every Twenty
Seconds.
Prof. Hinton, of Princeton univer.
sity, has completed the invention of an
artificial baseball ''twirler," which will
be utilized in the training of the base
ball team. The invention consists OF
an iron barrel with bore the circum-
ference of baseball and an ingenious
apparatus by means of which a base
ball may be discharged every 20 sec
onds.
Prof. Hinton, accompanied by Capt,
Bradley and Pitcher Altman, gave the
invention trial the other day. Several
balls were fired by the dummy" but
were too speedy for flesh and blood
players.
After slight modification it was
tried again, and more than fulfilled ex.
pectations. Ten straight balls were
thrown by the machine with perfect &C
curacy, and later an adjustment was
added which caused the ball to curve
before striking the backstop.
. Prof. Hinton intends to perfect the
artificial pitcher to a high degree, and
is confident of being able to regulate the
speed, direction and curves of the balls
thrown with the greatest precision. He
is interested in the study of projectiles,
and his present invention was begun in
connection with his scientific work.

CORA BELLE FELLOWS IN WANT
Woman Who Married Chaska, the Sioux,
in Perjury at Carthage, Mo.

A letter from Mrs. F. W. Cannon, of
Carthage, Mo-, to her son, Dr. Cannon,
of Huron, S. D., gives an account of a
visit made by Mrs. Cannon TO Mrs.
Samuel Campbell, better known as Cora
Belle Fellows, who married Chaska, a
Sioux Indian, while a teacher on the res
ervation few years ago. The affair
caused a sensation, Miss Fellows being
Washington city belle and highly con-
nected and educated. Following the
marriage the pair were on exhibition in
various dime museums, and in that way
accumulated quite fortune. On their
last visit at Huron Chaska and his wife
wore good clothes, brilliant diamonds
and handsome jewelry. All these, to-
gether with the money and Chaska him
self, have gone, and the former belle Of
Washington society now lives near
Carthage, Mo-, a deserted and destitute
woman, with three children dependent
upon her for care and support. The aid
society of the Methodist church has as
sisted her very much and is now raising
money to send her and her children to
Nebraska, where she has friends who
will look after her. She is anxious the
public should forget her and her mar
riage with ChasSa, the Sioux Indian.

all these are merely symptoms of consti-

when the cure is so simple and so easily

Since then, there has been no excuse for
anybody to suffer from constipation, and

every case infallibly and permanently.
They are very small, easy to take, gentle
