Queer Kinds of Bullets.

While lead and steel are the most
common metals in use for the smaller
%projectiles employed in war. gold, sill
Yer, iron and even wood have been
fired. At the siege of Amadanagar bull
lets of gold and silver were fred into
the enemy's camp by order Of the
Mogul Princess Claude. To make such
bullets more effective curses were in
scribed upon them. Mr.. selous. the
African hunter and explorer, is said to
hove shot lions in the north Of Bulu-
wayo in the COS with golden bullets.
Lead was scarce and it was not easy
to get q fresh supply; but gold, mined
on the spot. did just as well. During
the fighting on the Kashmir frontier
the rebellious Hunzas used bullets
made of garnets incased in lead, which
they fired against the British soldiers.
Bullets Of stone were used before the
end Of the sixteenth century. Iron
bullets were mentioned as in use in

Curious German Locom0tivS on Ex1

Curious German LocomotivS ON Exfti-
bltion u Paris. q
One Of the German locomotives
shown at Paris Is 50 singular In. the
salient feature Of its design that had
not the idea been indignantly repudi-
ated by Its designer one would have
felt imDelled to regard 1t as . huge
scientific practical joke. 1t Is q four
coupled compound express engine built
by Krauss Of Munich for the Bavarian
state railways. The astonishing ne
culiarity Of this engine is that Its two.
pairs Of bogie wheels are placed SO far
apart as to admit between them q third
pair Of wheels. 8 feet 3A inches in
diameter. and that this third pair is,
driven by a pair OF small outside eylin-'
ders, the combination producing what
is called an auxiliary engine-equiv-
alent to the donkey on board a
steamer. Further this pair OF small
auxiliary drivers can be raised from.
the rails or pressed upon them, as de-
sired. by means Of a lever. The OBJ
ject of his eccentric appliance has
ri aH.L 80 ~. ID AA- ETEl - ET-Z
proved a tough puzzle to most visitors.
One. a British engineer of no mean
standing, hazarded the conjecture that
the tiny auxiliary wheels and cylinders
were to be used to move the locomo-
tive about the yard. so as to give the
big wheels and cylinders a rest. This
suggested to him a humorous compar-
ison with Sir Isaac Newton's absent
minded provision Of a large aperture
in the door for his large dog to pass
through and a small aperture for the
small dog! Naturally the designer was
outraged at sc di~srespectful a refer
ence, and he promptly explained that
his real intention is to have a loco
motive which, in general, has the quail
tiles Of a fo%ur-coupled engine, but is
able to increase, every time it is need
ed, its cylinder power as well as its
adhesive weight in the proportion of
3 to 2, so that it can exert temporarily
a tractive power corresponding to six
coupled Wheels" \.

oklahoma would BE a state.

One of the first measures to be pre-
sented to congress for its considera-
ton upon Its meeting again is an en-
abling act providing for the admission
Of Oklahoma as a state. The territory
now has, population of about. $4,000,
with taxable property to the amount
of over $75. 100000, while it's area is
about equal to that of Ohio When.
it is considered that Oklahoma was only
opened up to settlement in 1889 and
1890 this progress is marvellous. In.
the story Of the building Of states none
surpasses that Of the western territory
now knocking for admission to the sis
terhood of Columbia. Within the past
ten years her people have built 700
churches, and there are now $50 news
papers published in a territory where
ten years ago there was not one. This
beautiful land" as Oklahoma means
in the Indian, is remarkably fertile,
and instances are on record where a
single wheat crop paid for the land
and all the improvements upon It. It
has also established schools. SO that
every child has the advantage Of a free!
education. Three great railroads o
Its borders, yearly adding to its wealth.
Cotton also can be raised in this new
land and its crop of this staple now
brings annually s5,o0O.0 900 to the peo-
pie. It will be cen Oklahoma can
make a good showing and the pros
poets for its admission as a state are
GOOD.

From the lower DON the second
floor with.its sleeping rooms is reach
ed by a ladder stairway. Here the
climber finds himself actually among
the branches of the tree and on a most
Uneven though apparently secure floor.
Beds and all necessary furniture are
slowed away here, and there seems to
be plenty of room for them. a very
convenient closet has been cut out of
the trunk Of the tree and is entered by
a most cleverly contrived door.
The house is. to be sure, not the
stablest Of dwellings,. for when the
wind blows it rocks and sways like a
hammock, and wheniit rains. the fam
lily has to leave the upper floor and
seek shelter on the ground. Neverthe-
less it is a happy family, and even the
prospect OF winter SHOWS and frosts
has not frightened the resourceful
