in the domain Of astronomy that can

being that unceasing changes are going
on, though these changes are generally
so slow as to escape the notice Of a su-
perticial observer. but are fortunately

REO POLLS FOR SEsF.

A writer in the Gazette says: 80 far
We are almost wholly dependent on Eng
lish trials for the comparative records OF
Red Polled cattle in beef production.
The demand for bulls in this country has
been SO great that no breeder has felt
able, apparently, TO make the sacrifice
required. The calves that have been
castrsted or sold as veal have been those
not fitted 10 represent the breed credita-
bly, or properly in any line.
Fortunately some OF the English
breeders are better able 10 stand the loss,
or they count honor Of more value than
shillings, and they have presented some
creditable specimens OF the breed at
recent fst-stock shows. And what In
this connection may seem surprising, the
breed shows especially strong in the
female classes. There is no block test
for these At the Smithfield show, but IN
growth for age they stand with the best.
4 few figures will illustrate. Taking the
heifer-classes at the recent Smithfield
show the best Shorthorn on exhibition
weighed ,932 lbs. at Loss days, a daily
gain Of LIS lbs. The best Devon, al
about the same age, weighed |, 4l2 lbs
st ,O5l days, a daily gain OF l.3i lbs
The best Hereford weighed l,62. lbs. al
l ,O5l days, a daily gain of l.5i lbs. The
best Polled Angus weighed 1859 lbs. a,
l ,O-O days, daily gain Of LEA lbs. The
largest daily gain except the Shorthorn.
The efor, made TO introduce these
rapid growing meat makers in Maine has
not vet been what might be termed high
" successful, but they are gaining
ground and will make their way in the
future ss beef claims more attention
from the eastern grower.

CITY AND COUNTRY SOLDIERS.

4 Kansas recruit writes home from
San Francisco that when company OF
farmer boys recently arrived at Camp
Merritt and were examined for enlist
ment, very much TO the surprise OF the
officers, who regarded the men as the
strongest and most rugged-looking OF
any In camp, twenty out Of twenty-eight
were rejected on account OF heart disease
or rupture. This was an experience had
also at the examination OF troops at
Topeka, where the examining surgeon
advanced the theory that farmer boys
were put at heavy work too young. IL
WAS found that much larger per cent
of city BOYS could pass the examination.
In the rifle practice at Camp Thomas
the scores of all the Pennsylvsnians were
excellent, but the First Regiment Of Phil
adelphia surprised them all, and some
think the boys surprised themselves. Ii
was expected that the woodsmen would
beat the city fellows, but when Col.
Kuert, of the Second Ohio, who kept the
score, footed up the figures, IL was found
that expectations were just reversed, the
woodsmen coming out Of the little end
of the horn. The teams that contested
WcTe lIOu tic rHet tIcuusyiNauto, cVN
ond Ohio, Fourth Pennsylvania and
Fourteenth Minnesota, and the scores
ranked in the order that these regiments
are named. In all cases the larger the
city from which the boys came the better
the score.
A Chickamauga correspondent OF
Kansas paper writes that "kansas got
beautifully licked" In riH. practice. "A
target match was made between n SER
geant Of the Twelfth New York and
captain Of the Twenty-first Kansas. The
privates of each regiment Clipped in

Dynamite guns, such as are used upon

dynamite or 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 a fuse
similar to any powder guns.
Dynamite or any other high explosive
cannot be used in an ordinary cannon,
because the powder would explode tho
dynamite before it left the gun, there
fore the system Of using compressed air
came into vogue as the only method Of
throwing dynamite 10 any distance. Tho
air is compressed and passed along
through various tubes before reaching
the gun and is used at about 1000
pounds pressure 10 the square inch,
which is much less than the power OF
powder Dynamite will be exploded at
about 5000 pounds pressure % tho

required 10 work them.
The gunner stands upon a platform
on the l,ft side of the carriage, uses
