Velocity of ProIectIies.

An ordnance officer must have an ac-
curate knowledge of the velocity of a
projectile, that he may predict its range
and penetration, and determine the ac-
curacy of the gun. Anyone visiting
Sandy Hook when big guns are being
tested may see how calculations are
made with the aid of new instruments.
A system of electric wires and magnets
is used, the shot passing through the
former, interrupting the circuit and re-
leasing the armature of the latter. The
interval between the drop of two arma-
lures is indicated by the chronograph
in a laboratory near by. The initial We
locity of projectiles has increased won
derfully in the last few years. They
may now be expelled with force which
will make them effective at range far
beyond ordinary eyesight. ....

AMERICAN MACHINERY.

English Tribute to Bicycle Tools
Made In This Country.
The great English technical journal,
Engineering, London, pays handsome
tribute to machine tools made in the
United States, saying: "It is not re-
assuring thing for those who would see
the engineering supremacy of this
country maintained, to notice how GER
tain American firms have ranged ahead
of us in the production of light class
of machine tools, of which bicycle max
ing machines afford an example. At
the present time, with the demand for
bicycles still great, and new factories
being started constantly, manufacture
ers have the greatest difficulty in OBJ
tanning the special plant. 1t is easy
enough to purchase ordinary lathes,
milling machinery, power mills, etc,
but with these the bicycle maker cannot
hope to produce his wares at anything
as can those who are fortunate in pos

Their Jars at the Well.
In every household the daughter has
her appointed work. In all but the
richest merchants houses the daugh-
ter's duty is to bring the water from
the well evening and morning, says
Blackwood's Magazine. 1t is the gos-
siping place of the village, this well,
and as the sun sets there come running
down all the girls of the village. AS
they fill their jars they lean over the
curb and talk, and it is here that are
told the latest news, the latest firta-
ton, the latest marriage, the little
scandal of the place. Very few men
come. Water-carrying is not their
duty, and there is proper time and
place for Irritation. So the girls have
the well almost to themselves.
Almost every girl will weave. In
cvery house there will be loom, where
the girls weave their dresses and those
Of their parents. And very many girls
will have stalls in the bazaar. Other
duties are the husl1ing of the rice and
the making of cheroots. Of course, in
the richer households there will be
servants to do all this, but even in them
the daughter will frequently weave

English Men and women TAKE The1T
Pleasure Seriously.
A fancy-dress ball in London is slow.
The streets around Convent garden on
fancy-dress ball night are as solemn
as Scotland itself, says Scribner's. A
few homeless Londoners are kept at
respectful distance by the police, while
q procession of carriages goes slowly
under the arcbway and deposits serious
merry-makers, dressed as stoves, light
houses, monks, lamps and vegetables.
Owing to these elaborate DISCUSSES the
Journey past the ticket-takers and tC
the ballroom Is slow. On the ballroom
floor officials, totally void of sense OF
humor and dressed in black velvet and
cut steel buttons, keep the center of the
floor clear, apparently for their own
use, and stand ready to subdue any
burst of light heartedness that might
appear in the circle that is kept moving
about them. The general orders are
keep moving along" The man who
manages the searchlight, from one of
the top boxes, probably enjoys the ball
the most. He certainly does more to
help it. The center of interest Is
wherever he will have it. He can make
a dull costume bright and supper
party in one of the boxes proud; and
he can almost remove the gloom caused
by the officials in black.

DANGEROUS PRACTICE.
Riding Hands on the Handle Bar
should he Discouraged.

Riding Hands OF the Handle Bars
Should BE Discouraged.
There are various reasons why the
reprehensible practice of riding with
hands off the handle bars should be gen.
orally abandoned. Chief among these
reasons, perhaps, is the fact that it is
dangerous not only to the rider HIM
self, but to others. To do the trick sue
oessfully it is necessary to travel at a
street which is liable to be crossed any
where by pedestrians or other riders,
and 1t is just such thoroughfares that
the senselecs hands-off rider selects to
show himself off. With the hands off
the bars the rideFhas no control of the
wheel, and, particularly at crossings,
there is no telling at what instant it
Is necessary to make detour or slacken
speed. Just the fraction Of time neces-
sary to regain control of the wheel
often is enough to cause an accident.
With no guiding power there is no tell
ing what the front wheel is going to
do. A small obstacle in the street which
would ordinarily be passed over without
notice is enough to defect the front
wheel and, if there are any riders close,
send it crashing into their bicycles.

made to hold on to, and whenever see

HOW WOMEN MOUNT.

Style as the Men.
In the variety of styles Of mounting
the bicycle the girls are fast equaling
the men. There was time when only
one style of mounting was in general
use. But as the riders become more
expert and gain more confidence they
are branching out in this particular.
The old style of mounting for women
by standing out in the street with the
pedal raised is not so easy in going up
hill. AS consequence, the curbstone
mount became popular. This is an easy
way of mounting the wheel, and can
be learned by anyone. 1t saves the
strain to large extent on the frame
Of the wheel. A drop-frame wheel, by
the way, is not as rigid as the diamond
frame Of a mans bicycle.
Perhaps the most graceful mount of
any, and likewise the most difficult, is
the female pedal mount. The right
foot Is placed on the right pedal, which
is raised to nearly its highest point.
A slight shove is given the wheel, and
before the right pedal reaches its low
est point in its revolution the left foot
catches the left pedal just as it is COM
