CannOns.

Cannons for use in warfare appear to
have been made of many substances
which would appear very unsuitable to
our modern ideas. 1t must, however,
be remembered that in the early days
of artillery powder was very coarse
and slow w-burning, and the range was
very small. The wear and tear, there
fore, on the bore Of the gun was as
nothing compared to what 1t Is now,
For instance, the Swedes in the time OF
Gustavus Adolphus used cannon OF
leather, and in 1859 similar weapons
were made in Scotland under the direc.
tion of Sir Alexander Hamilton, who
had seen service in Sweden. Cannon
have also been made Of wood and
stone. sometimes lined with bore Of
metal and sometimes not Cannon made
of almost pure gold have been found
in India. 1t is said that after Cortez
left Mexico the MeXicans tried to imi-
tate his cannon in terra Gotta. Krupp
has been credited with an experiment
in paper guns, that Is to say, field
pieces of small caliber composed of a
metal core surrounded by compressed
paper pulp. Such guns would, Of
course. be very much lighter, and
would be much easier to carry about
than metal guns. OF guns not used in
warfare the most curious were those
used to fire salutes at winter fete In
Petersburg In the year 1740. when six
cuns were made of ice. 1t Is said that
thev had an effective range of sixty
Yards. and that they all withstood the
fest of firing without bursting.

| 1t Is little startling to newcomers
at first to notice the universal custom
in Mexico of addressing persons of high
! and low degree by their first names.
AS soon as friends are at all we'll ac-
Quainted they address each other by
the given name, and this is done not
only by those Of the same age and sex,
but indiscriminately among young men
and young women, young people and
elder persons. In the latter case, OF
between elder persons, a respectful
prefix Is used, as Don" Ricardo. Pub
lie characters are also commonly re-
ferred to by their first names, even the
wife of the president Of the republic
being affectionately called Carmen
cita" by all classes. In the household
the head of the house is called Don
Jose or Don Manuel by the servants,
and q son in distinction is known as
Manuelito Qittle Manuel. Among SER
wants the customs regarding the names
given superiors are not unlike those
of the negroes Of the southern United
States. The lowest classes, or the SER
wants that have grown up in family,
speak to the heads Of the house as Nino
or Nina (masculine and feminine for
child, call the wife and mother senor-
tia, regardless Of the fact that she may
have attained three-score. The SER
wants distinguish between one of their
own class and friend of their master
or mistress by such distinctions. If
caller Is to be announced 1t Is senor-
ita, regardless Of her age, that is in
the parlor. If a woman Of the common
class awaits the mistress 1t Is sonora.
A gentleman of the upper classes is re-
ferred to as a senior, while laborer
will be called a muchacho (boy).-Mod-

To Do Away With Ear rrumpets.

A telephone has been invented for
deaf people which is intended to do
away with the necessity of carrying
large and clumsy ear trumpets which
are now in common use. The new de-
vice consists of small transmitte1
which is fastened to the coat, while
the receiver can be carried in the
pocket except when wanted. 1t is
then to be placed to the ear exactly as
is an ordinary telephone receiver. The
whole apparatus is worked by small
electric battery, which also finds
place in the pocket. Not only is the
new apparatus more convenient than
the old-fashioned ear trumpet, but it 10
claimed by the inventor that it entire
ly does away with the necessity of talk
ing in a loud tone of voice.-Chicago

Extravagant Dress in England.

Members of the nobility in England
make a great deal Of pocket money by
writing for the papers and magazines.
One Of these writers is Lady Violet
Greville, and, according to her, the
American women are responsible for
the extravaganza of English women to-
day. Ten or fifteen years ago, she says,
the American women, fragile, beautd-
full creatures" appeared In England,
wearing Paris gowns and beautifully
coiffured, and society succumbed to
them. That was the end of dinner
dresses that lasted for years and trous-
seau gowns that were worn for life
time. Then was the beginning Of
frown and discomfort, and debt on the
part Of the Engllshman, but the Eng.
lish woman was patriotic-that's the
way Lady Violet puts it-and was not
to be outdone by the Yankee million.

AN ODD SNAKE TRAP.
Biscuit Tin and Its Own Temper I'm.
prison a Cobra.

DR.. Arthur Stradling, the celebrated
snake savant who in his own person
demonstrated hundreds of times the
truth Of the theory of immunity by
incubation in the case Of snake-bites,
tells of an odd kind Of snake-t trap that
caught its victim securely. 1t was a
biscuit tin, and in the bottom of 1t
were some macaroons.
A cobra spied the tin. but a mouse
was ahead Of the cobra. The little
thief was having a good time, regaling
ITSELF on macaroons, all unconscious
that snake was preparing to regale
itself on mouse.
Into the tin went the head of the
snake, but the head that went in was
destined to come out less easily. The
rough edges Of the tin lrritated the
cobra, and involuntarily it dilated its
mood. That made 1t prisoner. With
the hood dilated the head could not be
Withdrawn, and the cobra remained
IN Its tin prison until morning. when

Dr. Stradling, who knows the natives
OF India as well as he knows the snakes
OF that land, tells OF an interesting
heory held by these people. They are
armly convinced that for every human
Uelng snake bites 1t loses one joint.
When the number of deaths the snake
mas caused equals the number Of Its
JOINTS the venomous head alone re-
mains. The snake has now reached
'ne height of its wicked desires, and
at this point 1t develops wings and tri-
umphantly disappears.
An exception to this rule is found on
'ae other side of the world. in the case
vi the rattlesnake, for the natives Of
some parts of America are said to be-
neVe that this snake gains thimble
