the inventor has overcome a very difficult
proposition. The cartridges come in paper
boxes, and ten of the cartridges are strung
upon tin base. which holds them in place
by the cartridge tianges. When loading
the pistol the operator takes a package of
ten cartridges and By deft movement in
serts one end of the tin base In the maga-
zine or the pistol He then slips the entire
ten cartridges into the piece with a single
movement of the hand. II takes less than
ten seconds 20 load the pistol
Human bodies are being used as targets
for the present experiment.
The wounds made by the pistol are
about the size of a small lead pencil, and
there are no external lacerations what
ever. Inside. however. the character of
the wound is different. When the bullet
struck the bore it fractured 1t into at least
a dozen pieces. but the humerus was not
completely broken off. The fractures were
all lateral and not transverse. as is COM
mon with the old-style bullets In his ex-
animation of this wound. Dr. Griffith said :
That is the most humane bullet | have
ever seen"
The carrying force Of the new weapon Is
simply wonderful and compares well with
the Mauser, Lee, or Krag-Jorgensen rifle
One or the shots from the 5o0-yard mark
penetrated ten inches of pine wood after
going through the body of the cadaver,
and 1t was lost in the ground. 1t was a
noticeable fact that most of the shots
from all ranges went clean through the
body of the cadaver
1t will be remembered that during our
war with Spain the Spanish soldiers were
found cutting the ends off these bullets.
which caused them to mushroom" ard
consequently infict horrible wounds.
These are similar to the "dum-dum" bull
lets that were used with such disastrous
effect against the English in Africa.
In most OF the wounds the points of en-
trance and exit were small and diamond
shaped with no external laceration on
either side, The interior, however was
almost without exception badly lacerated.

where the wreck occurred the track
runs close to the shore of the bay

Mr.. II. B. Niles, of Pennington,
Mimi, who relates his experience in
this method of feeding in the North
western Farmer as follows:
/ wish to add my testimony for the
above named crop for summer feed for
the dairy or other stock. That this
crop is not generally known to be val
liable as 1t is, think we find proof
as we look among the dairymen who
practice summer feeding and see how
little OF 1t Is grown. At Westwood
stock farm, after all other small grains
were sown one and three-fourths acres
OF peas and oats were sown in the usu-
al manner. the peas being plowed un-
der at the rate OF one bushel per acre
and, a few days after. the oats were
sown with seeder broadcast and har-
rowed in; oats sown at the rate of two
bushels per acre. The crop was not
put in early. as there was evidence Of
good pasture for some time, but pas
lures are getting so they deceive us
and Just when va -vaoi hem most thew
