II is only fair to state that timed meat
still holds the record Tor longevity. Wit.
ness the case of that preserved mutton
vouched for by Dr. Letheby in his Can
tor lecture, which had been timed forty
four years, and was sull in condition at
the end Of that time. Those tins had an
adventurous career. In 1924 they were
wrecked in the good ship Fury, and cast
ashore with other stores on the beach at
Princes Inlet. 81
They were found by Sir John Ross eight
years afterward in a state Of perfect pres
ervatlon, having passed through alarming
variations of temperature annually-from
81 degrees below zero to 50 degrees above
and withstood the attacks Of savage
beasts, perhaps Of savage men. For six.
teen years more they lay there broiled
and frozen alternately then her majesty's
ship Investigator came upon the scene
and sim the contents were in good condls
ton. For nearly a quarter OF century
they had withstood the climatic rigors,
and, as was but natural, some Of them
were brought home again, where they liv-
ed on In honored old age, till they were
brought under the notice of DR.. Letheby

THE THUMB TRIGGER.
A New Device Doing Away with the
Swerving OF a Cum.

Swerving OF "a Gun.
From the Cleveland Plain Dealer
How to avoid the slight swerving Of
rifle at the moment when the trigger Is
pulled has long puzzled the gunmalSer and
annoyed the marksman. An expert gum
maker has invented a rifle that is intend
ed to solve the problem and, in the opinion
of those who have tried 1t, does so. 1t Is
modelled on principle entirely new TO gun
making, the trigger being worked by the
thumb and placed on top of the rifle, i'm
stead of underneath, where all triggers
have been placed since guns were first
made. A one-armed man can use this
new rifle, the action is 80 simple, and the
mechanism so free from complex machln-
cry.
The rifle can be taken apart and put to-
gether In few seconds, so few are the
parts Of which II is constructed. There are
no screws except the one that joins the
stock to the barrel. The simple remain
ing mechanism fits together without
screws The firing section OF the gun con-
ssts of only five parts. The mechanism
of the gun Is as follows: When the ham
mer is drawn back to cock the gun the nose
of lever is pressed upward. This lever
presses on a spring formed Of a piece OF
bent steel, the curved end of which, when
the gun is cooked, rests against the rim Of
the cartridge, holding 1t firmly until the
gun is fred
The trigger, which is pressed by the gun
In order to release the hammer protrudes
from the upper surface Of the stock. and is
simply a steel plate which, when pressed
down, docs this: Into a slot that Is de-
pressed, the action releasing the hammer
and discharging the gun. Until the gun IS
cooked, this depressed "lug" prevents the
possibility Of the gun being fired.
The shell is extracted automatically by
the drawing back of the breech block
When the block Is drawn back the steel
spring that plays such an important part
In the simple mechanism Of the gun Is
thrown by the drawing back of the ham
ner against the rim of the cartridge and
when the block is drawn back the spring
cooked, this depressed lug" prevents the
gun ready for reloadng. le
1t Is impossible for the gun to be fired
while the cartridge is being inserted, for
as explained, the lug" must enter the de-
preston before the hammer can be re-
leased by the nose OF the lever, ami as
this can only be done by depressing the
trigger, which cannot be depressed when
the lug is not over the slot, it VIII be
seen that an accident through the pre-
mature discharge Of the shell is impossi-
bic
Neither is it possible for an accident to
occur through the breech mechanism be-
ing blown back by the explosion OF the
cartridge for as II enters the slot through
the depression af the trigger II engages
the rear Of the slot and is held firmly un-
til the gun Is discharged.
This is all the mechanism Of the gun. It
is so simple that any one not accustomed
to the handling of firearms might doubt its
deadliness. 'NH

SLEEPING CAR HOUSEKEEPING.
1t Takes Lots of Labor and Money to
Keep Cars in Order.
From the Indianapolis Journ

From the Indianapolis Journal.
Comparatively few people who travel
by rail have any conception of the labor
and expense involved In keeping the cars
Especially sleeping and parlor cars) in
clean and sanitary condition. Most of the
roads-the Big Four, Panhandle, Cincln-
natl, Hamilton and Dayton and others
of the local lnes-have considerable
force employed for the special purpose of
caring for, cleaning and disinfectlng the
cars of their passenger trains,
and the work is done IN
the most thorough and systematic
manner One method employed is to care
fully close all external apertures, open the
closets and, in case of sleepers, let down
the berths, and force into the car sufii-
cient quantity of formaldehyde gas to PEN
citrate every crevice and fiber The car is
then kept tightly closed for several hours,
after which it is opened and, thoroughly
ventilated. The floors, tanks and wood
work are thoroughly scrubbed with for
maldehyde solution. In other cases an an
tiseptic wash is used on the woodwork,
and a solutloneof fornlaldehyde is sprayed,
by the use of compressed air into the sur
face of the plush cushions and into all ac-
cessible Places
The utmost care is taken to wash all the
linen and bedding of sleeping cars at the
end of every trip, and no. h9uEkeeper, no
matter how tidy, is more careful about
thoroughly airing her mattresses, etc. In
fact. the companies are as careful about
seeing to the cleanliness Of the bedding In
their cars as they are about the soundness
OF the wheels and trucks under them Des-
pite all this care and expense, complaints
are frequently heard of the uncleanliness
of cars. 1t is pretty safe to assume that the
majority of the compliments finds things
cleaner and in better sanitary condition in
the general run of sleeping cars than in
their own homes. on a long run dirt will
necessarily ccumulate--especially dust
and SCOT where thoughtless passengers
persist in raising wndows-and many SUI
perintendents of rolling stock for this rea-
son favor complete change Of cars as Of
ten as once In twenty-four hours, If not in
twelve. Such change on long runs would
entail some Inconvenience TO travellers, but
from sanitary point Of view it would
have its advantages The matter of keep
ing cars in Clearly condition Is the strong
est argument in favor of extra charge for
riding in the day parior coaches. since
those who pay for the privilege are more
apt to appreciate il and are less likely by
their own carelessness, to defeat the ef-
forts of the company to promote their COM
fort"
