The lee-metford bul!c, is abont four
times is long rs it is thick. and 20 Keep
1t straight in its fight it has to be
made to rotate at a tremendous rate
by the riaing Of the gun. Obviously,
this long, narrow bullet meets with
much less resistance frum the air than
the old spherical bah o. TIE smooth
bore musket, says the Cincinnati En-
quirer.
But the swift rotation has another
effect. Whan the blrlIct strikes a man
1t bores its way in like a gimlet, and
nothing can stop il. As the bullet
leaves the muZzle it is twisting on its
axis 133,2OO times per minute. That
is the rate with ordinary powder. When
cordite is used the bullet is made to
revolve no less than l44,OOO times per
minute, or 2,4OO times per second.
Sometimes, however. this rapid rev.
olution brings about curious results.
II it gets the least bit out of the
straight line it has a tendency to
glance off when it strikes hard or
tough object. This accounts for those
miraculous escapes one hears of in all
battles.
A lee-metford bullet striking a but
ton or soldiers belt or notebook or
a coin in the pocket, when it has the
slightest DETECTION from a straight
line, is pretty sure to glance off with
out doing any harm.
1t may even penetrate the skin OF
the chest, and on meeting with rib
turn aside without doing further mis-
chief. Yet If this same bullet had
struck perfectly straight it Would
have been able TO penetrate the ribs

Country In Its Long Listof
Patents.

The annual report OF the ccmmis-
sioner of patents for the year ending
December 81. 1859, shows that the
total receipts of the office amounted
TO Sl.325,i57. After deducting the e1.
penditures for the year there was a
SURPLUS of sll3y673. The patent office
has now paid into the treasury
S5,OS6,649 more than it has drawn out.
The number Of patents issued, in.
cluding designs and reissues. was %.
527-a number but once exceeded. The
number of patents expiring during the
year were 1878.
In proportion to the population
more patents were issued to citizens
OF Connecticut than TO those OF any
other state-one- to every 945 i1hab-
itants. The report deals largely with
the work Of classification divisions
and sets forth at length the system
adopted. The object of classification
is to rednce the immense number OF
inventions into classes and subclasses
OK convenient size. capable Of clear
separation and definition and based
upon n system sufficiently elastic to
provide for future growth.
Attention is called 10 the lack Of
room and to the great loss that would
occur il the records of the Office were
destroyed by fire. The commissioner
approves a bill pending in congress
providing for the construction Of a
freproof building for the use of the
patent Office, including n hall of in
ventions. Legislation is recommend
ed limiting the number of appeals in
merit" and interference" eases. and
the practice of keeping applications
for patents in the Office for an in
definite number Of years is objected
to rs tending 10 stile the progress
of invention. The issuance of patents,
the report says. would Le greatly ex-
pedited by legislation limiting the

Case Argued Before Judge Waddill
Decision Reserved.

Richmond, Va, February 2.-Argu-
ment in the case of Thomas F. Ryan,
of New York, against John Skeleton
Williams and others, on mem Pc
tition of the complaint filed at Nor

PENDANTS to restrain them from con-
Solidalting certain railroads into the
Seaboard Air Lin system, was begul
this morning before Judge Waddi in
THE United States circuit court here,
and continued until $50 O'Clock to-
night.
The compliments contended that the
act of the Virginia assembly enlaTg-
ing the powers of the Seaboard anC
Roanoke and permitting consolidation
is invalid, because there has been Nc
such legislation on the par
of the state of North Carolina, it hay
ing been provided in the charter of tht
SeaboaTd and Roanoke, of 1853, that i
should not be amended without sucl
concurrent legislation. The defendant:
claimed that the amendments of tbs
charter of the Raleigh and CASTOR by
North Carolina assembly, allow
ing the Seaboard and Roanoke to con
solidate, was such concurrent legisla
ton.
The complaints held that the charte
of the Seaboard and Roanoke could no
be amended without the consent of al
the stockholders, against which tn
defendants held ,uhat the charter il
itself provides for amendments, and fur
