THE TUBERcULIN TEST.

Make the Test Obligatory.
In a recent issue of the London
Lancet appears in full one out Of
several resolutions lately passed
by municipal bodies in France.
Thus the Board of Works of the
Department of the Cote dor
among others has recently sent 10
request to the French Govern
ment to take measures against the
spread of tuberculo is. The re-
quest is in the form of resolu-
ton in which it is
pointed out that seeing
the urgency of staying the spread
of tuberculosis among live stock,
as much in the interest of the
consumer as of the producer, the
board holds that the authorities
should seriously consider the
question of employing the tuber
culin test to, ascertain that beasts
are affected. The board further
recommend that a law be pass d
making the use of tuberculiu
obligatory in the case of beasts
destined for the butcher or for
the supply Of milk, and that this
law should at the same time
order all such sanitary measures
to be taken IA are necessary for
the complete extinction Of the dis.

,st regiment Company Team Match.

The company team match Of the First
Regiment was held on the 200 yards
range Monday forenoon. Seven men
from each of the Il companies competed,
each having seven shots. Rivalry was
high for the possession of the five prizes
offered to the teams making the best
scores. The prizes were all large pictures
of battle scenes, handsomely framed by
Knowlton. Last year Co. K of Bruns-
wick, won first place but this year it fell
to seventh position. First place was won
by Co. B of Portland, with score of 1872.
Co. H of Rockland, won second place
with the same score, having to take sec
ond place because one of the men made
a miss. Co. D of Norway. and Co. G OF
Biddeford, won third and fourth prizes
with the same score, 100. Co. A Of Port
land took fifth place with a total Of 1888.

Colonel harrington. inspector general OF
rifle practice, shows intense interest in
all these matches, and should be given
much of the credit for the good work
done. He is always promptly at the
range, generally there ahead of the
nsarksmen, as he was, yesterday. The
conditions were good, yesterday, and each
of the seven targets showed a clean-cut
bulls eye In the calm morning air. The
match was finely managed and was COM
pleted in two hours. Seven teams shot
first and then the remaining five. two
men of each team shooting alternately.
Colonel Harrington says an improvement
was noticeable over last year, though the
winning score was five points less than
in 1896. The total score, however, was
1906. against 1775, last year, in this match.
The following young men are markers

Plans for the Sham Battle.

There will be no sham battle, today.
as the officers had hoped to arrange.
But if everything goes well there will
be one for the benefit of the troops AMI
the enjoyment Of the public. Wednes-
day forenoon.
Yesterday morning, detail of the
signal corps took a trip out into the
country to look over the ground for a
suitable battle field. They traversed
considerable territory to the west and
south and made a remarkably accurate
map to which Gen. Richards and Col.
Kendall devoted quite a lot of studJ.
The region off to the southwest, in full
view from the camp, seem to offer the
most advantages and this was finally
decided upon. Lieut.. Morton visited
those owning the farms there. and very
easily secured their permission to use
their woods, fields, and pastures for the
proposed conflict. There are no crops
in the way, so no damage can possibly
be done.

Diamonds In an Extinct volcano.

An interesting discovery from a geo. logical point of view was recently made by an explorer in the mountains of Wit zies Hook, Natal. On the summit of an extinct volcano, on the edge of lake that occupies the crater, soundings re- vealed a layer of sand inclosing small diamonds. It would be interesting to know whether these diamonds were there accidentally-that is, as the re- suit of washing operations carried on by the natiyes-or whether this diseov- cry corresponds to an actual mine of diamonds, for the hills of Witzies flock are not situated ill regions known to be diamond bearing. On the last hypoth- esis the presence of precious stones in the crater of volcano would doubtless throw some light on the formation of the gems in nature Genie Civil.

CUNNING OF THE LEFT HANC
Some of the Advantages That Are Pos-

Some of the Advantages That Are Pos-
 sessed by the Anbidextrous.
 Ambidextrous men and women, or those who can use either right or left hand with equal facility, are not near ly so frequently met with as might at first be supposed-in fact, they are quite rare. This double faculty is, however, much more frequently met with among butchers and sailors than ill any other walks of life. Left handed butchers are numerous, as walk through any of our large market houses will quickly demonstrate, but it is very interest ing study to watch one of them who will cut, chop, saw and handle his meat without once changing it from one side to the other OH the block or changing his own position.
 In view of the many advantages de- rived from the ability to use both hands equally well many people have often expressed surprise at the action of edu- cational authorities in insisting on the use of only the right hand instead of trying to develop all equal skill in the other. They all stick to the right hand ed idea, however, and all old resident of Frankford, noted for his ambidex- trousness, is still mourning the loss of a prize at school through the use of his left hand in writing, although he was equally skillful as penman with his right.
 The benefits derived from the use of both hands were excellently illustrated in the experience of two carpenters who lived i'll Frankford some years ago. Their names were Crass aud Walton, and the former was right handed, the latter left handed. As one was also very tall and the other very short, they made curious couple, but they always worked together laying floors and pat ting up joiners' work in buildings.
 They could take jobs of this eiarac ter cheaper than any other, beeau they could work from either end toN each other so handily. Cross N square floor board at one en4 Walton would "scribe' and cas to fit at the other end and tiss4 down, vori pg together from ends

he usually tits his back in order to spill the load of headgear Of course that means that the fellow who is making the awkward over is down, and the game begins anew Ia case hats is passed successfully, the next step is an over, and the hats are placed on the ground. After the next over they must be picked up with the teeth and tossed backward over the boy who is down. To touch the hat of any other boy in the game, either picking up or after the toss has been made, is fault. The game is sell dom played through, for the mischief, and therefore the enjoyment, consists in placing obstacles in the way of one's colleagues.
 In foot and half the down raises the elevation of his back after each over. Another variation is to increase the dis tanee from which the leap is made. But this is dangerous pastime and should not be indulged ill.

4 Novel Bridge It Rouen.

This novel engineering work is called q Hpont transbordeur" and is designed to fulfill all the purposes of a bridge, while it will offer 10 obstruction to the passage of ships with towering masts On each side of the river will be erected a small Eiffel tower, about ITO feet in height, and these towers will be joined at tho top by latticework bridge upon which lines of rails will be laid. On these rails will run a skeleton platform, which can be pulled from side to side by the agency of steam or electricity From this platform, which will be 160 feet above the quays, will depend steel wire ropes, which will support at the level of the river banks a slung carriage large enough 10 accommodate a tram car full of passengers, besides other vehicles
 It is intended that this novel form of bridge shall be in connection with the tram system at both sides of tho river, so that passengers can he carried across the river without leaving their seats in the cars. Tho work of building the tow CTS has already been commenced, and 1t is expected that the bridge will be open for traffic in IS months time. It is said that the only contrivanee bearing any resemblance to this E.pont tlansbor- 1eur" is in operation at Bilbao. Cham bers' Journal.
