zone OF the oldest traits of animal
nature" said an old-time Illinois Cen.
trail engineer, as the desire of every
living thing to cross in front of the
locomotive. At first 1t filled me with
wonder, and | used to lie awake nights
trying TO explain 1t. Now It's grown to
be an old story with me.
What goes in front of the engine?
Why, everything. Let me seel I've
seen snakes-and I'm sober man,
mind you-stick up their heads to see
what was making all the rumble along
the right of way, and then deliberate
ly start to crawl across the rails. I've
seen many quail spring up along the
right of way, fly along just ahead OF
the engine, and then shoot across In
front. Several times when I've been
running mile a minute the engine has
struck these birds and killed them.
In the old days | used to jump a deer
every now and then, and the chances
were he'd cross the track every time.
Cattle invariably do it until they have
learned better; SO do pigs and all the
domestic animals. Even chickens will
run fiutterlng across.
ut seems to me I've killed enough
animals TO stock farm and menag-

A Much Ahuaed Word.

The way certain words are misused
and abused should appeal to one. 1t is
fact that if any word has tried to
adapt itself to every possible and i'm
possible situation "grand" is the one
that has made the attempt. A person
needs but walk about any city to be
confronted with Grand hotels and
Grand View houses. Sometimes it fits
the house which it adorns, sometimes
it seems but sardonic attempt to make
them seem the more forlorn. 1t rises to
the sublime and describes the noun
tains, it descends to the level OF every
day life and appears as a descriptive
term when the weather is mentioned.
On the lips Of the milliner it lures on
to her doom the woman who without
the support OF a friend is selecting a
hat, and the doesn't she look grand in
thatG'' causes her to depart with the
hat in her possession. One hears about
grand dinners and grand times,
but the last straw is when the shop
woman says, "That coat fits You some

HOW A BULLET TRAVELS.


The soldier is taught that the bullet
travels through the air in a curved line
called the trajectory. and that three
forces act upon it-first, the exploded
charge. tending to drive it forward in
straight line along the line Of fire;
second, the force of gravity. and, third,
the air resistance. At 200 yards, owing
to these forces, the bullet, travelling at
the rate of ., 900 feet second. will
have fallen about two feet. In the ex-
element of firing at close quarters the
aim will invariably be too high.
1t has been calculated that when the
inemy approaches within $50 yards the
.oldiers will instinctiyely fire as much
~ two feet or three feet above their
heads. Now. it has been found by ex-
pertinent that the fact Of fixing bay
onets will cause the bullet to drop
distance of about 81 feet in $50 yards,
and therefore when about this distance
from the enemy soldiers are instructed
to fix bayonets, in order to counterfeit
the excessive elevation of their aim.
The recruit learns that the mean ex
IRENE range of the bullet is 8, 900 yards,
and that the longest shot ever observed
was 8, 100 yards. He Is taught the pene-
trating power of his weapon, a subject
/ full of interest. To take one or two ex-
amples. rammed earth gives less pro-
lection than loose; bullets easily find
their way through joints of walls, while
concentrated fire of about 100 rounds
at 900 yards will breach nine inch
brick wall.
Only experience can teach a soldier
how much he must aim to the right or
left of his mark to counteract the force
of the wind. A side wind has more
effect on the flight of the bullet than
wind blowing directly toward the firer
The soldier must learn the habits Of his
rife since some shoot higher or lower
, than others. Every rife, like every
marksInan. has its own individuality.
