A Hunting story.

Once Rogers was shooting where his
host happened to have killed a boy and
a keeper in the same season. and he
asked a beater whether his master felt
the matter very much. The answer
was: We'll, sir. he didn't care much
about the by. He gle his mother five
pounds. But he were very wexed
about the man. He didn't go out shoot
in for whole week" This in Norfolk
was considered an evidence of the eli
max of human emotion.-George Arch
dale in Temple Bar.

Maine Kippered Herring.

A local concern after nearly a year
of experimenting. says a Lubec (AIe)
dispatch, has finally succeeded in pro
ducing kippered herring which have
stood the test of the market, and the
success of a new Maine industry seems
assured. There Is every indication that
like the successful imitation of the
French sardine. the Maine packers will
put upon the market kippered herring
TO compete successfully with the
Scotch and English brands which have
heretofore monopoliZed the markets.
The herring used are found in great
abundance. They are too large for
sardines and. In fact, useless for any
understandable purpose. The supply is
almost unlimited. The Maine kippered
herring are put up in a package of the
same shape as the imported. and the
article itself. so far as novice can see,
is fully equal to the Scotch or English
pack.

Leopoldo Batres. Mexican scientist
who has been investigating the ruins
of the cliff dwellers in Colorado, has
new theory as to the origin of those
people He believes that they We're
Asiatics. as he found many baskets
and other trinketS of ASiatic and Japa-
nese design. but how many thousands
of years ago they came to this country
he is unable to even make a guess. He
thinks the mound builders and the cliff
dwellers two distinct races. His theory
is that the cliff dwellers after leaving
Colorado migrated to Mexico. going
through Arizona, where indications of
their stoppage en- route are found. In
Mexico they comprised the original
Toltecs and built cities. That this is so
is verified to Senor Batres' satisfaction
by legends and Inscriptions he found
on the walls of some of the rooms. He
took copy of them and complete sam
pies of pottery and other designs to
make further comparisons upon re-
turning to old Mexico: but, having
studied the Toltec hieroglyphics, he is
positive the cliff dwellers and the Toll
tees are one and the same people

The Typewriter In War.

Soon after the outbreak of the South
African war, when the British war de-
partment realized that it was to be an
affair Of year or two, requiring the
services Of 100000 men, large orders
for typewriters were placed with Amer
lean houses. for by the British army in
the field the writing machine is more
extensively used than by our own ar.
my. The typewriter, carried on a shelf
fastened to the handle bar, is always
on the move, and an order dictated tc
the operator is taken down while he
sits in the saddle, with one foot ON the
spoke of a wagon to steady his mount.
The typewriter order when finished is
handed to a trooper, who gallops off
with it, or to a cyclist if unusual dis
patch is necessary. - Ainslee's Maga.

SUCCESSFUL TEST OF
A NEW DYNAMITE GUN

New York, Nov. 13.-Highly success
full tests of a new dynamite gun of de-
structiYe powers in excess Of any
weapon hitherto designed have just
been privately conducted by a special
board of officers of the bureau of ord
nance of the United States Army at
Fishers island. The government has
for several years been engaged in the
erection on Fishers island of fOrtitf-
cations on u colossal scale intended to
make the eastern entrance to the sound
~impregnable to naval attack and Sc
cure the safety of all the cities along
the sound from New London to New
York.
With the full caliber projectile the
gun proved its ability to hurl 500
pounds of nitro-gelatine, said to be suf-
fcient to annihilate any battleship
afoat, a distance Of about 5000 yards,
with a degree of accuracy not excelled
by the latest types of heavy rl1ed ord
nance.
With a ten-inch shell, carrying 200
pounds Of explosive, the extreme range
was found to be 5,460 yards, the shell
exploding under water with the desired
delay action Of two seconds. In the
test for accuracy five eight-inch shells
were dropped at the respective ranges
of 5,O43, 5,O35. 5000, 5,040 and 1910
yards, of which all would have taken
effect, assuming that the target had
been a battleship about three miles
away. or about double the distance of
$500 yards, now generally accepted
as the limit of a practical fighting
range. In the test for rapidity Of fire,
FIVE f~ull-caliber shells, weighing 1,1S5
pounds. or more than half a tom each,
were discharged in eleven minutes and
ffty-fve seconds, almost bringing the
weapon within the class Of rapid-ire
pieces,

LAND GRANT COLLEGE
MEN All WASHINGTON

Washington, Nov. 13.-The fifteenth
annual convention of representatives of
land grant" agricultural colleges and
United States experiment stations
throughout the United States began
here yesterday. Nearly 200 men prom
inent in the study of agricultural sci
ence We're present. The executive COM
mittee reported that the Department
Of Agriculture is considering a pro-
jected permanent exhibit in Washing
ton of the products of the colleges and
stations, and recommended the estab-
lishment Of a graduate institute of ag-
riculture.
President Harris of Maine, in his an
nual address, traced the history of the
state institutions from the time Of the
land grant legislation in 1862. He
said that the total income of all the
state experimental stations and agri-
cultural colleges to date amounts to
$50,OO0,000, which, with the annuities
and endowments at four per cent,
swells the total income to $13O,OOO,OOO
There are $4,000 students, 600 teachers
and 10000 alumni.
A committee from the association
called upon the president to pay its re-
spects and to ask him to receive the
members of the association. The lat
ter request the president felt compelled
reluctantly to refuse, saying he was
making it a rule to receive representa-
tive committees from such ~associa-
tons, but not the associations them
selves.
The president pleased the committee
greatly by his words Of praise Of the
work of the state institutions founded
on the land grants.
while l am a son Of Harvard" said
the president, 81 believe that the state
land grant institutions are doing a.
greater work and are closer to the
hearts Of the people than many Of the
older and better equipped colleges"
