jack Rabbit and Bulldog.

Tho Emporia (Kan.) Republican tells
tho following queer story: "An Emporia
man heard disturbance in the night, end
on getting up to SEQ what was tho matter
found his bulldog engaged in desperate
struggle with II jack rabbit. Concluding
that it WAS dangerous to interfere, he
went back into the house and shut the
door. In short time tho outside struggle
ceased, and, locking UP, he was surprised
to sec n jack rabbit looking In over the
transom Of the front door. In the morn
ing he went out and found the bulldog
dead in tho front yard with marks of rab
bit teeth all over his person, bearing mute
testimony to his brave and desperate
struggle"

MIRRORS As SEARCHLIGHTS

An English Engineer Has Devised New
Reflector Which Is Durable and Cheap.
One of the disadvantages of the use
OF searchlights in warfare is that they
form an excellent target for rapid-fire
guns, and should single shot strike
the glass reflector 1t would be shatter-
ed and completely disabled. An English
engineer, however, has recently de-
vised an electrolytic method of prepar-
ing metallic parabolic refectors, which
are not only more durable, but cheaper
to construct and quite as efficient for
ordinary purposes. As described In
The Electrician, glass mold is prepar-
ed, the convex side Of which is accu-
rately shaped and polished to form a
true parabolic or other rejecting sur
face. AS the mold only requires shap-
ing and polishing on one side, 1t is COM
paratively cheap compared to a glass
reflector. which has to be ground on
both sides. On the curved surface
coating of metallic silver is deposited,
this being accomplished chemically.
Afterward this coating is polished. The
mold thus prepared is immersed with a
copper anode in an electrolyte of cop
per sulfate, and rotated at about fifteen
revolutions minute in horizontal
position. The copper Is electroplated
on the silver. to which it adheres firm
ly, and Is subsequently separated from
the mold by placing the whole in wa
ter and gradually raising the tempera-
ture to 12O deg. Fahrenheit, when the
metal reflector will leave the mold on
account of the unequal expansion of the
two metals. The concave surface of
the reflector thus obtained is an exact
reproduction Of the surface of the mold,
and has the same brilliant polish, but
it requires coating with Aim of suit
able metal to prevent furnishing
Either platinum or palladium is used,
and the coating electro-deposited in the
same manner as above described, using
of course, suitable solutions and
anodes. Salt water when thrown on
such a reflector, even when quite hot,
does not tarnish the surface, the wa
ter being driven off as steam and the
salt being easily removed with wet
cloth. Such reflector recently tested
at Portsmouth had number OF rifle
bullets passed through it without SEN
sibly affecting the beam of light thrown
from it. On the other hand, the first
shot fired at the glass reflector shatter-
ed it to pieces. With palladium
faced reflector the intensity of the light
is found to remain practically constant,
as little or no furnishing takes place.
