HOW A BULLET TRAVELS.
Lessons the Soldier Is Taught In
Learning How to Shoot.

Lessons the Soldier Is Taught In
Learning How to Shoot.
The soldier Is taught that the bullet
travels through the air in curved line
called the trajectory, and that three
forces act upon it-frst, the exploded
charge, tending to drive it forward in
q 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 1900 feet a 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 tho
enemy approaches within $50 yards the
soldiers will instinctively fire as much
as 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 a
distance of about az 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. ram1ned earth gives less pro-
lection than loose bullets easily find
their way through joints of walls, while
concentrated fire of about $50 rounds
at 900 yards will breach a nine inch
brick wall.
Only experience can teach 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 q
wind blowing directly toward the firer.
The soldier must learn tie habits OF his
rifle, since some shoot higher or lower
than others Every rifle, like every
marksman, has its own Individuality. -

Advance In Price Of Iron.

Cleveland, Sept. 22.-The Iron Trade
Review says: The iron market has gone
steadily on toward a higher level in the
week. Nothing in current events gives
any suggestion Of change from the sue
cession of surprises that have come in the
past six months, but close students of the
situation, with history in mind, are dis
posed to limit their predictions to the
middle of the coming year. Stocks mean
time grow less. The demand for iron in
the balance Of the year promises to be
still in excess Of the capacity of active
furnaces. Disappointment has been the
lot of producers and intending producers
on all hands. The week has brought out
further notices OF shortage on Lake Su-
perior ores, and shipments are likely to
fall at least 10000 tons short of sales
and estimated outputs Of consuming pro-
ducers.

INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION.
Horace NJ. Eaton Tells Of Condition
In Shoe FactOries.

Horace NJ. Eaton Tells Of Conditions
In Shoe Factories.
Washington, Sept. 22.-The industrial
commission resumed it's hearings, and
Horace NJ. Eaton, general secretary and
treasurer Of the Boot and Shoe Workers
Union of America, was the witness. The
Jurisdiction Of the union, he said, ex-
tended over the United States and Can
ada. While the organization provided
strike assistance, 1t was inadequate on
account Of the low dues, and 1t was his
opinion that many strikes had been lost
because Of lack of funds. Referring to
the Marlboro strike, he said 1t had failed
both from the employees and the en-
ployers' standpoint. The employees were
worse off than before the strike. Wages
were from rs to 80 per cent lower.
The issue was the recognition Of the
organization of the employees. The en-
ployers had declined all proffers Of arbi-
tration, but they offered to leave the
questions at issue to the ministers of the
town. This proposition was refused by
the strikers, and it subsequently devel-
oped, Mr.. Eaton said, that eight out Of
the nine ministers in the town were
against the strikers. There were about
1900 members Of his organization, he
said, about half Of whom were in New
England. Speaking Of the conditions
among the boot and shoe laborers, he
said work was plentiful, but wages were
