their time by taking seventy-tive and 100
mile rides out across the prairie. Upon
their return from these scouting eNpedi-
lions. Porter and his men indulge in rifle
and pistol practice.
All are becoming expert with both
weapons, and as for riding. they are
among the best horsemen in the state

notchers when it comes to riding. and the
Union Pacific showed its good Judgment
when he was selected to head the little
hand of man hunters.

IRREGULARITIES OF BULLETS.
Queer Antics of Lead When Projected

When General William Crozier. chief
OF ordnance. was before the Philippine
committee there was a very interesting
discussion concerning the effect Of bull
lets when striking substances General
CroZier showed there was marked dif-
ference in the effect of the bullet used
by the American troops in the Philip
pines upon different occasions.
1T is characteristic of the modern
bullet when fired with high velocity.
said General CrOZier. that when It
strikes a semi-liqUid mass il IS likely
to produce an effect very much like an
explosion. For instance. soon after the
adoption of the present service rife IN
the United States army. an escaping
prisoner at Chicago was shot in the
head by a sentinel, and the top Of his
head was blown of. Sometimes similar
effects are produced by striking in the
bowels or other soft portions Of the
body. In the case TO which I allude,
of course, the range was very close
