No Fixation m sn.c..

The common idea as to the path of
the earth being fixed in space is tax
en- exception to by astronomers on the
ground that there are few il n things
in the domain Of astronomy that can
really be called fixed space. that fact
being that unceasing changes are going
on. though these changes are generally
SO slow as to escape the notice Of q SUI
perficial observer. but are fortunately
periodic. SO that they fall within the
possibility of computation. Thus the
earth's path is not fixed, since the
ecliptic undergoes a very slow change.

DYNAMITE GUNS.
Fifteen Men In Relays Are Required "a
Work Them.

Work Them.
Dynamite guns, such as are used upon
the vesuvius, are operated upon an en-
tirely different principle from the ordi-
nary powder guns. They have engines
and boilers and air compressors and
coolers and all sorts Of intricate ma
chinery in IL house not far away, by
which the %projectiles are fired. The
dynamite OF gun cotton or explosive
gelatin or whatever the explosive ma
terial may be is contained in the pro.
jectile only. This projectile is called an
"aerial torpedo" by the manufacturers
and is exploded by means Of q fuse
similar to any powder guns.
Dynamite or any other high explosive
cannot be used in an ordinary cannon,
because the powder would explode the
dynamite before it left the gun, there
fore the system of using compressed air
came into vogue as the only method of
throwing dynamite to any distance. The
air is compressed and passed along
through various tubes before reaching
the gun and is used at about 1000
pounds pressure to the square inch,
which is much less than the power of
powder. Dynamite will be exploded at
about 5000 pounds pressure to the
square inch. These guns are enormous
affairs, smoothbore, so feet in length,
made OF the best iron, in three sections,
Hanged and bolted together and support
ed OH a steel carriage. The carriage is
mounted upon q steel racing ring, so
called, and the system of handling is by
means of an electric motor. AS these
guns are covered by a large number of
patents they are very expensive, costing
the government many thousands of dol
lars each. Fifteen men in relays are
required to work them.
The gunner stands upon a platform
on the left side of the carriage, uses u
fine telescope sight, and when all is
ready he pulls a lever which allows the
compressed air to enter the gun, and
the discharge takes place. These guns
are all loaded ut the breech, aud the
projectile is handled by a separate car
riage. The projectile is about 10 feet in
length for the Is inch gun. and when
charged with 500 pounds of dynamite
or gun cotton weighs fully 1000
pounds. 1t is a steel tube composed of
walls three-sixteenths of an inch thick
and has a spiral vane at the rear. The
fuse is q foot in length and weighs 20.
pounds. This fuse contains two pounds
and a half Of dry gun cotton and a few
grains of illuminate of mercury as a de-
tonator. 1t is set to explode at impact
or as the gunner may desire as to time.

an Atlanta policeman, whose beat in

a notorious vagrant, whose main occu.
patton was fighting and draining the
beer kegs left in front Of barrooms.
This man, as usual, resisted arrest
and attacked the officer fiercely. The
officer saw that extreme measures were
necessary and, drawing his club, aimed
a blow at the negro's head. The result
was as alarming as it was unexpected.
As the club came in contact with the
mans head, just yer the left ear, there
was a cracking sound, and from the hair
tongues Of blue. sulphurous flame shot
out. The negro dropped to the ground,
and the club fell from the officers

He had hit people with the same club

''1n all questions Of manners a young
man should always remember that,
while politeness is a good trait to &C
quire. courtesy is infinitely better"
writes Edward Box in The Ladies'
Home Journal. "Politeness is manners,
but courtesy is heart. Mingling in good
society can give us that veneer which
the world calls a polish Of manners, and
true politeness is not to be made little
OF nor scoffed at. Politeness is a fine
art. but is an art pure and simple even
at its best. Infinitely better is the cult
walton Of that courtesy Of refinement
which enters into the feelings of others
and holds them sacred. 1t is idle to saw
that courtesy is a relic Of old fashioned
days and is no longer looked for. It is
as much the current coin of good socie.
ty as it yer was. More than any other
element or grace i'll u lives it is in

unfailing influence. 1t calls for respect
as nothing else does. Courtesy of man.

BIRDS THAT DO NOT SING.
Although They All utter Vocal Sounds
Of Some Kind.

Although They All Utter Vocal Sounds
Of Some Kind.
Singing is applied to birds in the
same sense that it is to human beings
the utterance Of musical notes. Every
person makes vocal sounds Of some
kind, but many persons never attempt
to sing. So it is with birds. The eagle
screams, the owl boots, the wild goose
honks, the crow caws, but none of these
discordant sounds can be called singing.
With the poet the singing of birds
means merry, light hearted joyousness,
and most Of US are poetic enough to
view it in the same way. Birds sing
most in the spring and the early sum-
mer, those happiest seasons Of the year,
while employed in nest building and in
rearing their young. Many of our most
musical singers are silent all the rest of
the year; at least they utter only low
chirpings. 1t is natural, therefore, that
lovers of birds should regard their sing
ing as purely an expression of joy in
the returning spring and in their hap
py occupations.
Outside of what are properly classed
as song birds there are many species
that never pretend to sing-in fact,
these far outnu,nber the musicians.
They include the water birds of every
kind, both swimmers and waders; all
the birds of prey, eagles, hawks, owls
and yultures. and all the gallinaceous
tribes, comprising pheasants, cartridges.
turkeys and chickens. The gobble OF
the turkey cock, the defiant crow of the
rooster and even the musical call of the
"~bobwhite" are none of them true
singing, yet it is quite probable that all
Of these sounds are uttered with pre-.
cisely similar motives to those that in
spire the sweet warbling of the song
sparrow, the clear whistle of thu robin
or the thrilling music Of the wood
thrush.
But n%aturalists have set apart a very
large group as song birds, and even
among these there are many species
that never sing ut all. Birds are group.
ed according to their anatomical char.
acteristics, the structure of their bones,
bills, feet and wings. And thus we
have the songless song birds, looking at
the matter from the standpoint of the
classifying naturalist. - Philadelphia

A TRANSPORTATION.

Controlled His Face.

Controlled His Face.
An American who years ago served
as u minister to Spain was fond of
telling the following joke upon himself:
Shortly after he had become settled
in his new home he was hidden to q
state ceremonial, where he was to be
presented to the king. His knowledge
of languages was limited to English
and French. and being DESTROYS Of ad-
dressing the sovereign in his own tongue
he took pains to coach for the occa-
sion. Several phrases were rehearsed
until he felt that he had mastered them.
When the critical moment arrived, he
saluted the king with great dignity,
spoke a few words in Spanish and pass
ed on.
"What did you say?" asked an Eng
lish gentleman.
81 spoke in Spanish. " was the reioin-
der. 81 said, 4 cast myself at your
feet which I am told is the most re-
spectful form Of salutation."
"Ah. no." corrected a Spaniard, who
had been observed to smile at the en-
bassador's greeting. "You are mistak-
en-. You transposed your words, and
quite altered the meaning"
"Whst did I say?" asked the diplo.
mat.
With q twinkle in his eye the Span
lard made answer, What you really
said was. 4 throw my heels at your
head"
But the king had not betrayed by 80
much as the futtering Of an eyelid that
anything unusual had occurred. -Har.
