You should, in walking or climbing

IN walking mp stairs your feet should

In this way there is no strain upon

doing its duty in natural manner.
The man who goes up stairs with

not been directed to that subject. The
doctor might have gone little farther
in the same line aud protested against
the habit which many persons have OF

of this kind, when the heart is natu-

desirable that tho lungs should have

A Drouth- Resisting Plant.

The chief reason why alfalfa hay
will grow in the short-grass country
is that it has long roots. They have
been known to strike twenty-five feet
deep for moisture. The plant will not
thrive, therefore, in soil that is not
open and deep. An ideal place for it's
growth is along the river bottoms in
the western part of Kansas-land I'M
der which great lakes of "sheet water, I"
miles upon miles in extent, are found
from ten to twenty-five feet below the
surface. The roots of alfalfa readily
push down to the water and drink
when they need moisture, and the
result is that the plant blossoms and
prospers, and becomes a never-failiDg
source OF revenue to the man who cul-
tivates il. On the rolling uplands,
where there is scarcely an average
rainfall Of twenty-five inches n year,
the plant will live and produce hay
nearly always. 1t makes good pastur-
age under ordinary conditions there,
and is almost certain every year to
produce fine crop Of seed. All the
uplands are fertile enough, the only
trouble about making use Of that fer
tility being the lack OF moisture. Irri-
CATION has not yet succeeded in bring
ing water in abu.idanc to the assist
ance OF the tiller Of the soil in this
region, and therefore only such plant
can live as has deep roots, and per-
tinacity that even the hot winds Of
Kansas cannot shake. Franklin Mat
thews, in Harper's Weekly.

VESUvluS, pYNAMrTER.
All About u Unique Fighter Possessed by
the United States Navy.


Whatever may have been the opin-
ions OF naval officers regarding the use
of the Vesuvius and her guns, and
Notwithstanding that they have oh.
jected to the use Of the pneumatic
guns in sea fights owing to their high
angle fire, there has never been any
difference OF opinion as to the great
value Of these weapons in bombarding
aud in countermining.
In the bombardment OF Alexandria
by the English fleet years ago it was
demonstrated that the effect of high
powered guns against forts and for
tifications of all kinds WAS far less de-
stiuctive than had been anticipated.
Foreign naval officers who examined
the forts after the bombsrdment were
astonished, and it was said that the
forts could have been put in defen-
sive condition again in very short
time and that the English feet would
have suffered severely had the forts
and guns been properly manned by
expert gunners.
Captain Goodrich of the United
States navy made a careful examina-
ton of the Alexandria defences after
the bombsrdment, and declared that
mortar fire would have been far more
effective in reducing the forts aud in
driving out the enemy.
High powered projectiles travelling
in flat trajectory may pass COM
pletely over and far beyond fort
before striking Their mine affect is
comparatively small, and the damage
is not widespread. But large charges
of high explosives landed inside n
fort would do terrible execution. The
guns of the Vesuvius can fire three
different shells. The hundred pound
charge of guncotton, equivalent to
about four hundred pounds Of powder,
can be thrown two aud one half miles !;
the two hundred pound charge, equiv
alent to eight hundred pounds Of
powder, can be thrown mile and u
half, and the five hundred pound
charge, equal in charge to two thou
sand pounds of powder, can be thrown
about mile.
1t has been repeatedly demonstrated
that the gun is remarkably accurate
and effective il the range is known.
In bombardment the range can
easily be found, and in that case
shells could be landed inside n tort
with perfect ease. Four or five of
them have, in practice, been landed
within rectangle OF fifty feet. The
effect of such shells exploding inside
fort can be easily imagined.
In countermining the gun has
equally important uses. The shells
may be thrown into harbor and along
n ship channel, at different distances,
and being fitted with delayed action
fuze, which allows the shell TO sink
some distance before exploding, the
shock will tend to destroy the enemy's
mines and all the electrical connec.
tons used TO fire them.
Naval officers have admitted that a
channel could be opened for feet in
this manner at point defended by
mines which could not be removed or
put out of action in any other manner.
The guns Of the Vesuvius use gun.

fled,

Professor l.. II. Bailey Of Cornell
university has been asked to 60 to
Finland tn conduct series Of expert.
meuts in electrical plant-growing, IN
conjunction with Professor Lemstrom
Of tho University of Helsingfors. The
experiments to be carried on have
nothing to do with the electric light
or the running of electric wires
through tho soil for the purpose OF
forcing the growth of plants by direct
current stimulation. They are to be
based on some pertinent observations
made by Lemstrom, Of the effect of
the aurora borealis on tho plant growth
of the North.
II IL well known fact TINT the
plants Of the North arrive at maturity
at much shorter period of time than
those plants which are grown further
south. IL is necessary that these
plants should arrive nj maturity very
quickly, inasmuch as the summer
season in the North is very brief, and
il has always been looked upon as a
wise provision of Providence that
plants were enabled TO accomplish
their business in life in 80 short u
space OF time. Professor Lemstrom,
however, casting aside the providen-
tial idea states that tho rapid growth
Of plants in tho far North is due
directly TO the light Of tho aurora

The most curious town in England
is Norwich: There is not n straight
street, nor, in fact,a straight house in
the place; every part of il has the APP
pearance Of having suffered from the
visitation of an earthquake. Norwich
is the centre Of the salt industry in
Cheshire, England, on nearly all sides
of the town are big salt works, with
their engines pumping hundreds Of
thousands of gallons OF brine every
week. At a depth Of some 900 to 300
feet are immense subterannean lakes
Of brine, and as the contents Of these
are pumped and pumped away, the
upper crust OF earth is correspondingly
weakened and the result is an occa-
sional subsistence. These subsidences
have pulling" effect on the nearest
buildings, and they are drawn oil ways
aud give the town an extremely dis
sipated appearance.

Flour is an item in the household
use that is looked upon as indispensa-
BILE. but where 1t must be transported
for any considerable distance it in
creases rapidly in value, because Of
it's bulk. Experiments are being
made in Great Britain with compressed
-four, which is put mp under such
pressure that three pounds can be put
into the space ordinarily occupied by
one. In this practical age economy
Of space is an important item, and If
these experiments prove q success, IL
will be possible TO ship TO distant
points and out-of-the.way localities,
