Travels Of q Bullscye.

A German scientist says that II a
marksman Mt noon on a cloudless,
MINDLESS day sets his rifle so that 1t
will cover the bullseye Of target the
gun will in the same position the next
day, IL 1t also happens to be cloudless
and MINDLESS, shoot "high left" 'The
bullseye is apparently attracted by the
position of the sun or of any other lu-
minous point" says the scientist, "and
apparently during the day follows the
course Of the sun In semicircular line
on the target"
This seemingly changed position Of
an object under the changing influence
Of light cannot, he thinks, be produced
by refraction nor by the changing
temperature of the air nor by chang
Ing barometric pressure. The change
Of position Is instantly responsive to
the sun breaking through a cloud. II
cannot be akin to mirage, because the
shooter would then have to lower his
gun Mt noon instead of elevating 1t as
he now does.
