MILK INSPECTION.

Inc city has promise of a milk inspcc-

nance providing for the inspection of all
milk sold within the city limits was In,
troduced, but 1t never got beyond com
mittee pigeon hole, and there 1t has re-
NAMED ever since. Now Its ancient and
dust covered form is to be dragged forth
and enacted into local law.
Ihis assurance comes from one OF the
caucus seven aldermen. and of course. if
they are united the ordinance can be pass,
ed in whoop. A regulation of this kind
is very much needed here, as there have
been complaints of impure milk on the
market.

Boxing q Bride's Ear.

In Lithuania, a province Of Russia, IL
Is customary that the brides ears shousd
be boxed before the marriage ceremony.
No matter how tender hearted the moth.
er may be she always makes it a point
of administering a hearty smack to her
daughter in the presence of witnesses.
and a note is made of the fact. The
mothers intention lisa kind one, though
the custom itself is bad. The reason for
it is to protect the bride should her mar
riage prove IN unhappy one. In that
case she will sue for divorce. and her
plea will be that she was forced into the
marriage against her will, and on that
score tho verdict Of the judge will be in
her favor.

POWER IN OUR POWDER.
A Shot From "A Is Inch Rifle Sufficient
TO Lift n BattIeship Eight Feet.

Velocity and pressure" explained
the powder mill superintendent, "are
the two main requisites in proving pow
der. The government is very specific in
its contracts. 1t demands that when
fired under service conditions in the gun
for which it is intended powder must
give to the projectile a muzzle velocity
Of at least a certain number of feet per
second without producing a pressure Of
more than a certain number of tons to
the square inch. For modern guns the
velocity required varies from 1000 to
Q, 300 feet in a second, and tie pressure
is not allowed to exceed Is tons to the
square inch. In some of our guns of the
present day the amount of energy stored
up in the powder charge is SO trenien-
dous as to be almost incredible The
linAt of energy upon the projectile can.
not be estimated, SO vast are the posi-
bilities.
"For example, / may cite the Ore
CONS Is inch rifles. Five hundred and
fifty pounds of powder in these guns
impart to an 1, 100 pound shot a velocity
of 2, 100 feet per second. and tho energy
Of the projectile is nearly "a, 900 foot
tons. This power is sufficient to lift
such a vessel as the Oregon eight feet
out of the water
"Those screens between the cannon
and the breastworks are electric chrome
graphs 100 feet apart from each other
and the cannon, and they register the
time of the projectile's fight with abso-
lutte accuracy.
"And absolute accuracy is-what?"
"The millionth part of q second. -
