have a peculiar way of carrying the
qold which they find in the beds of
streams to market. They find it IN

which they put into large quilts as
transparent as glass tubes. The brok-
ers who buy it work it up into the
form of circles of the size of an ordi-
mar finger ring, but without closing

Testing the Speed of Bullets.

NM. Billaidon and Don have de-
vised the following instrument for de-
termining the speed of ~projectfles:
The moving target consists of a disc
IL feet in diameter, from which a CEN
tral disc four feet in diameter has
been remembered, leaving a circumfer-
entail band four feet wide carried on
spokes. This disc is rotated by q
steam engine SO that the velocity Of a
point on its edge is 200 feet per Sec
ond. The edge of the disc is marked
with divisions, six inches wide, which
correspond to 1-400th ~ofasecond. From
each division, lines are drawn to the
centre, and there are also 10 concen-
trio. circles ruled on the band. Thus
the whole surface is divided into Sec
tions. which are numbered for refer
ence. In front Of the target, and close
to it, is a fixed screen covering the
lower half of its disc, except where 1t
is perforated with a circular opening
four feet in diameter, so placed as 10
coincide with the width of the moving
band. Across this opening a sheet OF
very thin. paper is strained. This re-
ceiyes the stationary pattern of the
discharged pellets, while the revolving
band receives the pattern made by
the pellets striking it in succession.
Observations made with the instru-
ment show the relative velocity OF the
pellets. SO that from the observations
a diagram may be constructed showing
the actual position of the pellets at a
given time.
