HOW Do PIGS LIE?
London Is Troubled by a Cues.
ton i'm Pork.

LONDON, March 26.-Do pigs lie
down on one especial side, and do
monkeys eat nuts with one hand more
than with another?
An entertaining discussion on these
doubtful points between DR.. Noble
Smith, who had just visited the mon
key house at the Zoo" with bag of
nuts, and John Jackson, the apostle
of ambidexterity, preceded Miss Mar
garet McMillan's lecture on "Ambidex-
terity in the Infant School, yesterday
afternoon.
Mr.. Jackson vehemently asserted that
monkeys could do everything equally
well not only with either hand but
with their tails; that cockatoos perch
ed equally readily on either foot and
that numerous tanners, who had i'm
ported thousands of hides from La
Plata, had assured him that they show
ed no evidence of onesidedness.
Passing from pigs to babies, Miss
Mcmillan asserted-and the audience
gave 10 sign Of dissent-that a young
child was a very near approach to per-
petual motion. 1t moved aimlessly but
endlessly. A scientific person who had
attempted to repeat all the movements
of a ten-month- old baby had soon be-
come exhausted. The audience muir
INJURED sympathetically.
But strong as it is, Miss Mcmillan
continued, the human infant arrives in
the world in very lop-sided condition.
= Its right lung, for instance, is much
heavier than its left; the latter, in a
girl infant, weighs % grams, and the
former 80 grams, and the lungs never
achieve perfect equality. Differences,
however, ought to be and can be modi-
fed by training.
The arm is the first member of the
body to fab under the control Of the
will; then the head and trunk follow
suit. and the legs are mastered last OF
all. Evidently, then, the arms must
be educated first.
Children were not naturally ambi-
dextral, was Miss McMillan's conclu-
sion; and it was impossible to make
q perfectly bilateral creature: but
nourishment and exercise of both
sides could do wonders.

NEW FIELD GUN A SUCCESS.
Britain Boasts of Rate of Fire I'm
surpassed in Europe.

LONDON, March 21.-The new field
gun for the army, the manufacture of
which commences next month, is a
marvellous production. So rapid is the
fire that the batteries may be reduced
from six guns to four in three years
time, when the rearming is compile.
The gun is adapted from the French
pattern, and in recent trials at Oke-
hampton has established record of
twenty mine rounds per minute. This
rate of fire is unsurpassed by any field
gun in Europe.
It's cost, complete with carriage, is
about $500, and about 1,100 guns will
be needed, involving an expenditure of
nearly G1,000,000.
