IMPROVEMENTS IN GLIDING.
Modern Methods Insure Better ane
Less Dangerous Work.

Modern Methods Insure Better and
Less Dangerous Work.
In nothing has the superiority of
modern over former methods been made
more manifest than in the various pro-
cesses employed for gliding, says the
st. Louis Globe-Democrat. Now the
greater portion of gilded articles are
gold-covered by means of the electrical
bath. Formerly gliding was done by
laborious and troublesome processes,
in certain stages very detrimental to
the health of the workmen. The old
time glider used an amalgam of gold and
mercury, causing it to adhere to the
bronze article by means of nitrate of
mercury, the nitrous and mercurial
fumes being poisonous, always en-
dangering the health of the workman,
and sometimes inducing incurable dis
ease. Now the article to be gilded is
placed in an electric bath, the current
is turned on, and in short time the
piece is ready for the burnisher. Gid
ing by means Of gold leaf and gold pow
der is still practiced, the work being
mostly done by hand, but its delicacy
is such as to require long practice and
great experience. An amateur glider
has no earthly chance of success-his
work will always show the inexperience
of the workman.

IN A KANSAS TOWN.
Differs from other American Villages
in Man. Respects.


in Man. Respects.
Chiefly by reason of it's newness and
of u certain cosmopolitan aspect the
Kansas town differs from villages else.
where in the United States and presents
a few interesting variations from the
common type, says Atlantic. The
largest town in the commonwealth has
hardly 10000 inhabitants. Most of the
county seats in the eastern half of the
state, where the rainfall is copious and
where crops are bountiful and regular
contain about 5000 persons each. The
county seat is in the strictest sense a
country town. The inhabitants live al
most entirely upon the tributary coun-
try. There are no factories. The
money that the farmers of the county
spend for food, clothing, fuel and the
comforts of the farm home is the cash
capital upon which the town does its
business. This capital is passed from
the grocers to the clothing merchants
to the druggists, to the furniture deal
ers, to the hardware sellers and to pro-
fessional men. In the older commune
ties of the eastern and middle states
necessity has developed factories
which convert raw material into fin
ished products, and money from the
outside world comes in But Kansas is
yet hardly generation old, and t has
not entered the manufacturing era of
industry.

Queer Names.

A traveller who spent some time in
the wil1s of Texas says that he found
families who named the children to
indorse sentiment after this peculiar
fashion: Zone Too Many Harry" or
'sNot Wanted James" 1t is to be hoped
that the names did not embarrass their
owners with more than one sense of
superiority. The negroes of the south,
when left to their own methods of
naming their progeny, strive for the
most romantic and poetic or historic
names they can find, and good, long
string of them, too. A colored girl in

Jay, Me-, claims one of the biggest

late Dudley Bean. The circumference

diameter seven feet. About six feet
from the ground there are seven

feet from the ground there has been
erected band stand, which seats 25
persons. A cooler place on hot days

was riding by recently and the tree at

The rowels of natures most powerful

the TANKS of the primitive community,
says the Monist. The apostles scath-
ing arraignment of the Cretans, ''whose
god is their belly" would literally APP

mainsprings of progress. At it's i'm

into the arrow head, the dart, the spear.
In it's honor the net was woven, the hoe
was made and the soil broken. To APP
pease its cravings the wild bull is
broken to the yoke, the forests are

marsh.
On it's errands the ship is launched
on the periious deep and the band sent
out upon the war path. Into its service
have been impressed the winds of
heaven, the steam wreaths of the cal

lightning. 1t is the real Aladdin's lamp

at the behest of its genii. Whether ii

or of the pressure Of overpopulation, it

destinies of the nations.
In the fall of every world empire from
Assyria to Rome the conquering race

MAGAZINE RIFLES
Weapons Tint Are ServfceabIe After
Firing 5000 Rounds.

Some curious effects of the tests of
the new magazine rifles in actual SER
vice are noted in Engineering. Cordite
was accused of causing rapid wear of
the rifling, and this charge must have
had some founda ton, as the Metford
ritiing has been abandoned i'm the
weapons now issued, and has been re-
placed by the system devised by Rigby,
which is said to wear well and give
more accurate shooting than the Mann
hcher, Mauser or Lebe1 systems
Certainly the wear cannot now be
very serious matter, if the reports
can be relied on that accurate shoot
ing has been made even after firing
some thousands of rounds and the
weapon is still serviceable after 5000
or 1900 rounds have been fired.
In the Toche punitive expedition the
new Dumbum bullet will be employed,
that originally used having proved de-
ficient in stopping power. In the Chit
raj campaign one man was six times
shot, and nevertheless he recovered
The private soldiers are, accordingly,
losing confidence in the weapon.
