hands over a knife that he's carried
since he was boy, and that he'd hate
to lose.
Many knives brought in for repairs
are priced because they are gifts; or
they were bought in some foreign coun-
try, or they just suit the hand of the
man that uses them. There are various
more or less sentimental reasons why
man may prefer to keep the old knife
rather than discard 1t for new one.
Then 1t may be that in some other
cases the knife is too valuable to
be thrown away. So that first and last
and for one reason and another out of
the vast number of pocket knives car
ried good many come in to be mended.
The repairs made to pocket knives
are of a varied character. They may
consist, for example, in the putting on
of one new pearl side on pearl-han-
died knife to replace a side cracked or
fiawed. With long use the blade at the
hinged end or the spring in the handle
or the rivet by which the blade is held

spring Is no longer as 1t should be,
flush with the back of the knife. In fact,
great many things can happen to a
pocket knife, and of course the more
blades the more things can happen, but
the cutler repairs them all.
The phrase 'rebladed and rehandled"
suggested, of course, the idea Of a COM
plete renewal, and the inquirer won
dered if it might not be possible that
with the repair of knife In one part
and another such renewal might oc-
cur. And the cutler said that not only
was it possible. but that sometimes it
actually did happen that with success
sive renewals of its various parts the
whole knife came sometimes to- be en-
tirely renewed, and there was left Of
the original knife nothing.

Locatine smokeless Gums.

The English war Offices new scheme
for the training of Tommy Atkins in
maneuvers embraces many novelties,
which will In due course see the light
of practical demonstration. Among
these none is more interesting or
fraught with greater possibilities than
the device 70. training soldiers to To-
cate guns firing smokeless powder.
Arrangements are being made to
carry out experiments in this direction
at Aldershot, and the sappers have al
ready constructed an ingenious battle
field upon Ash Ranges, which will
make field firing very realistic. In the
trial to come an infantry force will
approach the ranges, and will imme-
diately be fired upon by distant guns.
EndeavOr will be made to locate the
field pieces and the infantry will move
forward in cover. AS they advance
surprise targets representing cavalry
and mounted infantry will spring upon
flank and front, an armored train will
run out, and all the features of mod
ern battlefield will be represented
against the advancing force. This
method will call for great initiative
from commanders, and the targets will
be so made that good shooting will be
recorded by the targets being knocked
over.
AS an inducement to make infantry
take cover new device has been
adopted. Artillerymen are to accom-
pany the advancing columns, and
when distant gun fires its dummy
shell they will produce a correspond
ing explosion among the attackers by
means of a small mortar-thus teach
ing the lesson of cover and caution as
no other means short of live shell
could do.-London Express.

a Sand BOW.

A curious phenomenon was recently
witnessed from the Antelope Island, in
the Great Salt Lake, Is. One after
noon a gentleman saw what appeared
to be fine rainbow between the island
and the mainland, yet no rain was fall
ing anywhere in the locality. The bow
was double the breadth of an ordinary
rainbow, and there was q secondary
bow above it. On looking into the mat
ter he traced the bow to cloud Of
sand from the shore of the lake. The
sand is "oolitic,, to use a geological
word, and the pearly spherules reflect
ing the sunlight produced the bow.
