leave a hole in each screen. and from
these it's trajectory is easily deduced
and transferred to paper
This work is very important since a
bullet that rises over a mans head in
passing distance of 500 yards is much
less effective than one which skins
along the ground for the same distance.
For instance, in the illustration we have
the trajectories of a modern small bore
and the old Springfield compared. In
going 500 yards the latter travels up
SIG feet, while the former only rises
3.S5. By examination of the chart it
will also be seen that between 400 and
1 200 feet, or more than half the total
distance, the bullet of the Springfield
passes above all ordinary sized men.
while that of the modern rifle would
hit any man standing between the muz-
zle and the bull's-eye 500 yards away.
1t is partly on account of these dat
trajectories that such terrible loss of
life is expected in a great war. One Of
these bullets will kill eight men and
still have some energy to spare.
Guns of all sizes shoot much more
rapidly than they did a few years ago.
This, combined with fiat trajectories,
great velocity and carrying power, will
materially change many Of the condi-
tions of the war. The successful Gen
eral will be he who comprehends and
makes efficient use of the fire of modern
firearms.-An Army officer in New York

Infection hY Breath.

In order to impress on us how easily

Oondon) bids US watch the course Of
the smoke expelled from the mouth Of
one who is enjoying a cigar. He says:
The fumes do but make visible
what is happening all the day whether
We smoke or not. Each Of the tiny
particles Of carbon or condensed vapor
Which In the millions make up a wreath
OF smoke, does but indicate the track
taken by corresponding particle Of
expired air, which, if it can carry the
visible carbon, can still more easily
carry the invisible microbe. Thus, a
Whit Of smoke entering the nostrils and
penetrating our lungs, does but show
the course which might be taken just
as easily by a swarm Of microbes. and
serves to demonstrate one at least Of
the ways in which a crowded life
passed in close community with our
fellows leads to mischief. The passage
of Whit Of smoke from mouth to
mouth, does but illustrate, in fact, the
mode in which well-recognized evils of
rebreathing expired air are produced
1t is not the air but what the air car
ries with it, that does the harm. What
Is illustrated by tobacco smoke is some
times proved in another way. In the
bright sunbeams notes are made to
dance, and by careful watching one
may see not only how numerous these
notes are, but Of what nasty stuff they
are not infreQuently composed The
wheezy flower-seller coughing over his
tray of violets, the loud-mouthed hawk
er shouting over his barrow Of straw
berries, the shifting child sneezing at
the street corner, the painting person
who will shake out his handkerchief in
the bus before using it, even polite
people talking to each other, are all do
ing things which on a dull day seem
innocuous enough. Let the sun shine.
however, and the tell-tale sunbeams
soon display the showers of saliva md
the crowds of dust which are thus scat
tered in the air, and can be almost
traced from mouth to mouth This is
esthetically abominable, but in the vast
majority Of cases probably does no
harm. Here and there, however, these
particles come from people who are dis
eased, and carry diseases to those who
are healthy. The rebreathing Of ex-
pired air is certainly one cause of the
disease, especially to those who live in
towns and in close dwellings; and how
real is the risk, and how readily the
passage of solid articles from man to
man and from mouth to mouth is ac..
complished, Is made manifest every
time a Whit Of tobacco makes us

indignant mother.
How about 'Hostler Joe?'" asked
the young man in a nonchalant tone
Ordinarily such suggestion would
have met with chilling frowns But
they all listened with cheerful expect
ancy while the little girl piped UP:
Plump was Annie, plum and pretty, when
she married 'Ostler Joe:
She got divorced and then went out and
Travelled with a show
Her husband thought he'd go and see the

1t shocked him when he saw her coming

But for her the blow was fatal. She soon
found out. alas,
He was all the audience present, and he
came IN on pass.
My child, leave the room this"
But the reproof was drowned 10y the
approving demonstrations. under whose
cover her new prompter gave another
hint. The child made the little bow
with which she preceded each selection,
and went on:
Go and wash the dishes, mother,
And wash them nice and neat,
While / play on this piano
The two-step march so sweet;
And brush up my old clothes, mother
Be hasty and don't get gay.
For I'm to be Queen of the May mother

cold, hard voice, II shall give you one
more chance to redeem yourself. You
may come away from that part of the
room and recite Casabianca. / think

without any Of this rude interference"
Again the little bow and again the
small. shrill keyed voice took up the
familiar rhythm:
The boy stood on the burning deck,
Whence all but him had fled;
They called to him, he wouldn't bulge
And this Is what he said:
Go, save yourselves, I'll linger here,
Its hard to have to toast;
But I'm such a chestnut that
l ought to get a roast"
Her mother was too much overcome
to speak. She did not even protest
when the young man asked for THE
Face on the Floor" and Ethelinda
gave
1t was a balmy evening and a goodly
crowd was there;
A man stepped up before the bar, he
had no cash TO spare.
He turned away. He vainly tried to hurry
through the door,
And then the big bartender pushed his
face upon the floor.
"Of course, you know Paul Reveres
Rider said the young man, innocent

Yes" answered Ethelinda, whose ex-
preston had gradually assumed a ra-
dance and satisfaction quite foreign to
it. She had never before been so APP
preciated. With alacrity she plunged
into the lines
Listen, my children and you shall hear
OF the midnight ride of Paul Revere,

He would go away and come back again,
He took up fares and he pulled the

COLONEL DUNCAN N. HOOD.
Originator Of the Idea Of Forming
Regiments Of Immunes.

The idea of the formation of regi-
ments of immunes from yellow fever for
service in Cuba and Porto Rico origi-
mated in the mind Of Colonel Duncan
N. Hood of New Orleans. He is the
youngest commissioned Colonel in the
regular army, in which respect he fol-
lows after his father, who was the
youngest man to command an army In
the Civil War. Both of Hoods parents
and other members of the family died
Of yellow fever in the epidemic Of 1879.

There is nothing III which great

the plotting of new ground for

teaching aud warning examples
enough of the soundness Of This
proposition, out of the instances
of great trouble and expense in
Cured, from year to year, in wd
eoing old, aud cutting ont new
streets. Some block. in Homo u
lu are 50 large that their interiors
are valueless "a real estate, except
to proprietors wealthy enough TO
own them entire or at least sec
tions extending from street to
street. If such large proprietor
desire to plot such areas for h me
sites, he can only do 80 by open
ing up rights of way to them which
he is haUle TO make so strait, for
the saving of "a much selling laud
as possible, as to greatly detract
from the permanent value of the
lots sold. How much better if the
blocks were originally laid out o
as to give the humblest cottages a
decent street frontage, which would
be a perpetual stimulus to home
improvement. There are cases
where land in this city has been
sold on all sides of areas, making
these inacce- and therefore
waste pr, pprty - fit only for the
Indications of lizar.is, centipedes
and MOI goo-e. Where the Gov
ernmr NJ owns these confined plots
it j. distinct loser to the amount
OF the prices they would bring if
accessible, and whether it does or
does not own them it loses an in
Grement of taxes upon i'm
proved property yearly which
they might be yielding. HIRE
and there street has been
started on a liue consistent with
an intelligent plan, only to be cut
of abruptly, as it were in the
middle, ending either in a cul de
sac or against another street at
right angles, when it should 60

which have involved heavy expen
ditures the past biennial period to
rectify. l is bad enough to have
now to remedy, at great expense,
errors like thess commi ted or
permit ed by shortsight1d autho-
rites and proprietors in the past
Infinitely worse is 1t to commit
and permit similar laundering in
the living present, with eyes open
TO, and the public purse bleeding
from, experience OF such anterior
shortsightedness. The petition
now ia the hands of the Minister
of the Interior, for the extension
of Green street according to the
ell-understood original plan, is
a case in point wherein it is earn
estly to be hoped that Intelligence
and foresightedness will prevail
1t is a matter, indeed, both for it,
own sake and as a precedent
which, if the Executive is power
less to do the right thing regard
