The committee of the Federal Shoot.
ing association of SWitze rland, while
target shooting at Ninterthur recently,
noticed that targets at the left side
of the range received d ma jority of
bullets to the left Of the bull's-eye,
while the reverse was the case on the
other side Of the range. Some quick
vitted member of the committee sug-
cested that this apparent detection Of
tine missiles might be due to the electric
telephone wires which chanced to be
st1ung, on each side Of the range. Tie
eXperimenta committee found that all
pro oiectileS that had been DETECTED
from their course were magnetized.
The Theory Of electrical action being
thus supported, experiments were un-
dertaken to put the question to final
test. The conclusion was reached that
it would be feasible to protect an entire
section of troops from hostile rifle fire
at a distance of 300 yards by means of
an electric current generated by dyna-
me or accumulator at one side; ami
that at 900 to ! 400 yards even artillery
would be thus rendered harmless.-San
Francisco ArSonaut.

Sir Albert Pell, verbose and prolix,
but very successful English advocate,
owed his forensic victories largely to
his iteration. When a gentleman criti-
cised jury address of his in an i'm
portant case, Peil "confessed and
avoided' the business of the criticism.

In many parts of South Africa rail-
ways are comparatively new depar-
ture. and in consequence large pro-
portion of the farmers are wholly !g-

One stalwart colonist who thought him
self clcyerer than his companions was
standing on the platform at Bloem-

State, during shunting operations. He
had been explaining the principles OF
steam motive power to an amused
crowd, when suddenly the engine be
yan to move backward, pushing a string
of trucks. His jaw dropped and he
gasped out: lean understand how the
engine pulls the trucks, but I'm blessed

PUSHING THE TARIFF BILL

The republicans OF the senate are de-
termined to get the tariff bill through as
speedily as possible. The democratic
leaders have announced that they have
no disposition 10 delay the bill beyond 4
reasonable discussion, while the republi-
cans themselves are willing to torego
any debate beyond that absolutely neces-
sary, for the sake OF Fastening action.
They realize that the stream OF foreign
goods flowing into the country is not
likely to be at all checked until the bin
gets upon the statute books, and that
the manufacturing and business interests
can nos resume activity until they at
least know where th,y are at"
In view of this fact. the republicans
generally are disposed 10 hasten action,
both by example and by smoothing the
way for the bill as much as possible, iu
avoiding partisan controversy. On tie
other hand. hose who are opposed to the
wool and sugar schedules as framed by
the finance committeeman they are very
numerous on the republican as well as
the democratic side Of the chamber-will
not permit their anxiety for action on
the bill TO lead them to consent to toe
adoption Of these schedules in their pres
ent form.
There is good reason TO believe that
a majority of the senate. and perhaps a
majority Of the republicans in the SEN
ate. are determined not TO accept the
sugar schedule as reported from the
finance committee, but do desire the
adoption OF the house schedule. which
they believe to be less advantageous .
the Sugar Trust. While it is doubtful
if there is the same strength against the
reduced rates Of the wool schedules that
AAANAN - VA NAt ouSdA sNAtAAAGt tllt ~ cE'-
ern men are resting in calm confidence
that this feature Of the bill will be
amended, by either restoring the house
schedules, or at least advancing them to
nearly that rate.
1t is quite probable that this may not
be done until the bill gets into the con-
ference comittee, for the chances Of 2, =
ting enough votes in the senate in favor
Of advancing the wool rates to control
that body is not good 1t is understood,
however, that the house viii refuse to
agree TO the wool schedules as they now
stand. If adopted by the senate, and that
this will SEND the matter to the eOnf.r.
ence committee, at which time the repub-
licans Of the senate who are opposed to
the reduced rates will serve notice that
the house rates must be restored before
the bill can get their support.
1t is known that several democratic
senators expect 10 make lengthy speeches !
on it, but it is thought probable that
the discussion Of the bill by paragraphs |
and items may close with ten days or
two weeks, and it is hoped that vote
may be had by June 90 Should the con-
ference which will follow prove a rea-
sonably brief one, President Mckinley
may yet realize his ambition Of signing |
the bill on July 4th.
