Mjchelini who has been Investigating
the qualities of bullet and rifles. has
discovered that fish can be killed more
easily than even by the dynamite ear
fridge. The Italian rifle, which is but
.2o6 inch in diameter, proved very de
hcient in stopping power at the battle
OF Adowa. Nevertheless at short ranges
the very high velocity OF the bnllc,
gives rise to powerful explosive eff
feet. Maj. Michelini one day fired one

from the impact Of the bullet with the
water. This view was amply confirmed
by further experiments. and many fish
were killed by the blow of the bullet
on the water exactly as if by an cxplo-
sion OF n dynamite shell. The effects
OF the hydraulic shocks seemed to be
sufficient to kill all fish within two feet

POINTS FOR A HOSTESS.

In choosing guests select those
whose tastes are nearly enough alike
for harmony. but not for monotony
and dizziness.
When all ambitious hostess sets
about giving dinner party she should
note three points: CHESTS should be
chosen who would like TO NEE, one
another and not jumblcd together
simply to pay up ones social debts:
tact in regard to conversational sub
jects should be used. and. lastly. the
dinner however simple. should he
well cooked and served.
DO not invite larger number Of
guests than your servants can wait
upon with ease and do not at1cmp. a
more elaborate menu than you know
is within your cooks powers The
thing TO be particular about is no, :h.
costumes or rarity OF the viands bur
that they arc excel!ently cooked and
served with the proper accompani-
mcnts.
Avoid anything likely TO provoke
strong feeling and hot argument sucl,
as for instance. religion ana politics
This is point ia he as carefully noted
by guests AS by their entertainers
Criticisms Of absent acqunintancrs
should never he made for not only is
this want of kindness 10 them. but
o1le never knows that they may not be
connected by ties of blood or friend
ship 10 somebody present.
Some hostcsscs. in order TO obtain
d"s'rnhl" harmony among the guests
give special dinners TO certain sets:
Tor instance, an art dinner" to their
ncquaintanees in the art world; lit
erary dinner to literary men and
women, nnd SO on: but the idea is not
particularly good one. for people Go
not always want to be talking "shop. -
una IT ls greater rest and recreation
TO them to meet people out Of their
own special circles than those who's.
work and interests arc Identical with
their own.
