At a recent rifle meeting in Switzer-
land it was discovered, according To a
Geneva Journals report, hat the steel
jacketed bullets of the marksmen were
swerved from their course by the in
fuence of telegraph and telephone
wires running alongside the range.
Experiments were then made at Thun
by placing four steel cables parallel
with the range, and about 40 yards
distant from it, and sending a current
of 5000 volts through them. The eff
feet, it is said, was to turn the bullets
SO far from the course that the devia-
ton amounted TO "a yards on a range
OF 26O yards. The bullets on being
taken from the targets were found to
be magnetized. Next, on an artillery
range of 5000 yards, the e~lectro-mag-
netic influence was generated 200 yards
in front of the targets and 40 yards to
one side. The projectiles were swerved
"a degrees from a straight line

Planted by Monks.

At Interlaken, Switzerland, on the
deep a~lluvial soil deposited by the riv-
ers which came down from the great
Bernese Overland, n monastery and
nunnery were founded in 1130. The
monks planted a grove of walnuts about
buildings and a long avenue con-
Meeting the cloister with the neighbor-
ing village of Aarmuehle. They had
learned from the East and south, no
doubt, the value of the rich, fruity oil
yielded by the walnuts, and to this day
it is pressed in quantities here and used
as a substitute for olive oil. The wal
nut trees still survive. hoary with age,
picturesquean and venerable, they now line
h fashionable promenade, Hoheweg,
where the whole world throngs to pay
homage to the Juncfrau, crowned with
her eternal SHOWS. To-day, within the
walls of the old cloister, the present
Kries Forester, of Interlaken, has es-
tablished a little plant school," where
all sorts of seedlings are grown, to be
used in the work of protecting the
TANKS of the mountains against tor
rents from melted snow. Thus the
monks builded better than they knew,
and, in n certain sense, the modern for
ester here is their lineal successor.|St.

count is as follows: Ten cash or Ii,
one candareen; ten candareen or fun
one tael OF lang. The lowest link in
the Chinese chain is the cash or ii,
Which is represented by an actual coin.
The candareen. the mace and the tael,
however, are simply denominations de-
noting certain fixed weights of silver.
The Ii is also called Yin, and by the
Dutch pitjes. But although supposed
10y some foreigners to be a silver coin,
the Chinese Ii is made from an alloy
of copper, iron and tin. 1t is circular,
seven-eighths of IN inch in diameter,
with n square hole in the middle.
Around this hole are impressed, on the
diverse, Illness characters stating the
reign, ETC.; on the reverse Manchuchar-
acters stating the name of the mint.
Originally the Ii represented one thou

it continues to 10 SO to the present

able to redeem it in specie. Paper

They worked rapidly for about two

The boys held fast to their pals and

cracking as if walked upon by some
heavy animal. and a moment later n
bear hobbled out from the maple grove
and began to pick berries for him
self. If the boys had been less-fright-
ened, OF if they had used more care in
making their retrtst, they would have
got away without trouble but their
haste made noise: and the noise caused
the bear to look up. Seeing the tin pals.

interview with similar dishes, the bear

all, out kept pulling away at the closet
door until this flew open and the pals
were discovered. While the bear was
eating up the blackberries the boys
showed up a chamber window and.
knocking off the boards, ran out the
ladder and hurried home, loaded with
wonderful news. They were not in
tending to tell Buzzell anything about
their prisoner, preferring to carry the
tidings to heir fathers, but Buzzell met
them on the road.and soon pumped the
details from their reluctant memories,
and paid each of the boys one dollar.
provided they would tell nobody else.
The weary boys trudged back to the
Miles house with BuZzell. They opened
the door cautiously. Inside were two
dented tin pals and a lot of stains
where the bear had eaten his supper.
They looked in the Office, the sitting
room, kitchen, dining-room, and all
over the house, without finding the
bear. The cellar door was firmly nailed,
the window boards were in place, and
the chamber ladder was outside where
the boys had left it when they escaped.
The tin pals showed hat a bear had
Deen tnere lately. so BuZZell cOulQ not
dispute what the boys had told him. BY
all the rules of logic the ear should be
in the house; but from the evidence of
Buzzell's senses the bear was not there.
1t was his plain duty to whip the boys
and recover his money. While he hest
tated the boys made a close study of the
situation. BY chance one looked into
the great fireplace and saw something
which had escaped Buzzell's eyes.
9TH bears gone up tn chimbley,'
| said the boy with confidence.
Buzzell also saw peal tracks in the
ashes and found bears hair on the
jambs of the flue. He climbed to the
roof of the house like a cat, and lighting
a half a bunch of matches threw them
| down the chimney. When the matches
mad gone out he made remarks not fit to
print.
The bear had gone out through the
great chimney, leaped to the roof, and
hurried away to the woods for more
blackberries. Before Buzzell had re
lieved his congested feelings enough to
come down the boys had gone home
carrying their money and berry pails.-

coming up fas,, they burst in the door
in time to place their pals in a closet be-
hind the door AMI climb up a ladder to
the loft. When the bear came through
the door they had the ladder half way
to the chamber floor and laughed aloud.
Lying on their faces and tanning them
selves with their hats the boys watched
the bear. 1t came in, gazed at them for
a moment, and then began to smell
about for the berries. At times it sat
up on its launches and looked at the
boys as if asking them where they had
put their pals. Finally, with the as
s~istance of his nose. it found where the
berries were, and began to scratch AT
the closed door. The door was of
heavy pine and hard to open. Some

Tanning The sparrows.

A barber in Kensington has trained
common sparrows from the street to
fly in and put of his shop. The birds
are never molested by the BARRIERS Gus
toners, who have grown as fond of
them as the barber himself. Some
times, when the room is pretty well
filled with the chirping little fellows,
the barber will make a sweep with his
hand and pretend to catch a fly. I'm
nediately all the birds will flutter over
to him and perch upon his arms, Shout
ders or knees. and watch the hand in
which the fly is supposed to be impris-
oned. The barber opens his hand grad
ually, one finger at a time, while the
birds sit with heads cooked to one side,
cxpectantly waiting for the prize. If
there should happen to be a fly there,
which is seldom the ease this weather,

A New York business man who a

this city an interesting account of
some phases of the monetary systems

money transactions are puzzling to for

some respects NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
The silver shoes of Shanghai interest
ed the New Yorker greatly. These
shoes, which constitute currency in
Shanghai, are ingots of silver shaped
something like a shoe, and weighing
about so taels each.
These shoe ingots are made current
by the Hong koo, who assays the sill

recording its "toque," or touch and
purity. The Hong Zoo derives his au-
thority entirely from an arrangement
among the native bankers. He is not

In large native transactions these
shoes form the principal medium of
