Breechloading in artillery and small
arms is popularity supposed to be an
invention of the middle of last century,
but such is by no means the case. In
Dublin gunsmith's shop at Cork Hill
is on view a breechloading rife offered
to the British war office at the close Of
the eighteenth century and rejected,
as it was considered to need too much
ammunition!

There Is no other way in which q
body can be preserved so long, leaving
freezing and naturalization out of the
question, as by burial in a lead coffin.
If the receptacle is alright, lack Of
oxygen brings putrefaction almost IL
not quite to pause, and the face of
defunct person may be recognizable
after long period of time. The at
tempts frequently made to destroy
bodies by covering them with lime
usually have the opposite effect, pre-
serving them by keeping out the air.

How Plants Remain Upright.

If a fowerpot is laid on its side the
stalk of the plant growing in it grad
ually curves upward until it resumes
the vertical position. This is called
geotropic curvature, and the question
Is by what means the plant is stimu-
lated to change its direction Of growth.
One theory AYERS that movable starch
grains in the plant cells fall to the low
er side as the position is changed and
by their pressure influence the mech
anism Of growth.

If A WOMAN is MARRIED

to a good man she will prob
ably stay by him although there
may be better men. There is a
reason for this. Marriage is q
serious thing and it should not
be entered upon lightly. A
promise is made "until death
shall US part. Not so with -four,
you do not have to marry a miller
for the sake of using his -four.
You do not have to seek a divorce
