Pretty Fair shots.

In an English paper there appeared
recently the veracious story of two
brothers who lived in the Rocky noun
tains. They had two rifles, one bullet
and a kcg Of powder. With this outfit
hey managed to kill on an average
t~wenty-seven head Of buffalo a day.
The way they managed was this: Broth
er No. l would stand on n side Of a
buffalo and shoot through It, the bullet
going into the barrel Of the rifle Of
Brother No. 2, who stood on the other
side. Then Brother No. 2 would fire
through the next buffalo into the rife
OF Brother No. l, end 50 on until tie
days sport was over.

SUBMARINE SIGNAL BELL
AN INVENTION FOR SHIPPING

A Huge Bell Fifty Feet Below the
Water-Foreign Governments Take
Interest in the Device.

Egg Rock, off Nahant, presented a
busy scene for a force of workmen put
into place, fifty feet below the surface
of the water a heavy bell of the Sub
marine Signalling Company. The sys-
tenn by which this new organization
hopes to safeguard the shipping inter-
ests, so far as various harbors are con-
cerned, has been too fully described to
need rewriting now, but there are a
number of interesting developments
and improvements of late. The bell
which was lowered and was sunk re-
Gently, but was left in place only about
three days when ii was discovered that
the extreme GOODNESS of the water at
that depth had a bad effect on the lu-
bricating Oil; so 1t was taken up again
and another fabrication substituted. 1t
is quite a task to sink and fasten Sc
curely such a tremendous bell into
place, so complete test was made Of
the apparatus off South Boston. 1t was
lowered into the water and left in posi-
ton for ten hours, during which time

Whether or not it will be again taken
up with the next few days is entirely
problematical, for minor improvements
frequently suggest themselves " AT
thur j, Mundy, who with the late Pro-
fessor Gray, invented the system.
Keeping pace with the perfection Of
the new system is the interest shown
by foreign Governments, Canada and
England were represented on an exhi-
bition trip i'm the bay last April and
now Germany, Russia, France and Jap
an are beginning to awaken to the
possibilities of the invention. Germany
especially, has been inquirlng into the
methods and work of the signalling
with no less a person than Kaiser Will

a letter from Germany bidding him in
