The Projectiles We Use.

We have now armor piercing Pro-
jectiles, deck piercing projectiles,
semi-armor piercing projectiles, COM
mon forged and cast steel projectfles,
cast iron projectiles. shrapnel and, so
on, in endless variety. AS the work
the gun, whether ashore or afloat. will
have to do can be pretty clearly pre-
dicted, it would appear as though one,
or at most two. kinds of projectiles
were enough. These two would nat
urally have, the one high penetra-
tive power and the other a large
capacity for internal charge, giving
great destructive power when the
shell is burst. No one who has not ex.
nmihed carefully the effect of bursting
r. shell in "a. CLOSED space can have an
idea of it's destructiveness. A small
six-pounder shell, of about ~ inches
diameter, containing three or four
ounces of powder, burst in an ordinary
room and breaking into twenty or
thirty fragments, would probably des-
troy everything in the room.-Scien-
tific American.

The Trust In Burma.

The willy oriental soon assimilates
such occidental methods as suit his
purpose, and it is, hardly surprising
that. in due course, such institutions
as the trust" and the corner" should
have appeared even in a happy-go-
lucky country like Burma. Most men
who have been even to India know
what splendid little ponies are to be
had from Pegu, and how admirably
adapted they are for polo playing
1t will be readily understood, then,
that considerable disgust has been oc.
casioned at Rangoon by the formation
among Burman pony dealers of YER

has been that Rs. $50 is asked for any
thing with four legs, while good ponies
are priced at Rs. 600 and Rs. 700.-

Reasons Why Many Children Are

Slow to Learn.
Many a boy has been a dullard at

some defect in his ears which made
1t impossible for him to hear distinct
ly or some defect in his eyes which
made it impossible for him to see
things as they were. says the Satur.
day Evening Post. The brain gets not
only the most of its information
through the ears and the eyes, but al
SO the most of its skill in the all-im
portant faculty of judgment And II
the. ears do not hear we'll and the
eyes do not see correctly, both in
formation and training are necessar-
lily defective and awry.
These facts are obvious; yet thou
sands on thousands grow up, strug-
gle, fail wholly or partially, die with
out knowing the simple and perhaps
easily durable why of their misfor-
tunes. And in every school to-day
there are these durable socalled dull
lards.
Every pair of young eyes and young
ears should be suspected until they

Recent legislative enactments by
the French Chamber of Deputies re-
garding the expulsion from France OF
religious orders, the sequestration OF
the property of the church and it's en-
tire separation from the state wildly
recall to mind the famous decree OF
the convention of Aug. 1, 1898. On
this day the convention decreed that
within eight days the tombs OF the
kings and queens of France at st.
Denis, together with all other flu
neral monuments of sovereigns and
noble personages erected in the vari-
Gus places of worship in Paris and
the provinces, should be destroyed,
Early on the morning Of Oct. IL.

longing to the lower orders, fastened
from Paris to st. Denis. The first
grave disturbed was that of Pepin.

persons harangue produced the de-
sired effect. Henri w. was, therefore
ANONYMOUSLY consigned to the pit
outside and quickly covered up with
lime. A few minutes afterward the
bodies of Louis XIII. and Louis XIV
were thrown into the pit The body
of Louis XIII. was dried up like &

The remains of Louis XIV. were treat

hundreds Of bodies Of illustrious and
also Of unknown persons were torn
from tAs vaults apd cast into the lime
pit. Among them were those of Ma
rie de Medicis, Henrietta of England
Duchess of Orleans, Maria Theresa
wife of Louis XIV, Anne Of Austria
and of the great Dauphin.
On the 10th of October the exhuma
ton continued with undated vigor
but most extraordinary coincidence
occurred which has been rarely no.
ticed by historians. At precisely the
moment when the head of Marie An.
toinette fell on the scaffold the body
of her eldest son; the first Dauphin,
was thrown into the limepit at st.

coffin excepting a few ashes and a
quantity of little bits of gilt metal.
Curiosity now took the place of riot.
Bowls full of burning vinegar and
other disinfectants were distributed.
and at noon the business opened in
earnest. In the meantime big pit
had. been dug outside the church, at
the entry of the cloisters, and near it
were placed number of barrels filled
with quicklime. One of the commits

to the church, followed by his assist

of narrow bands of linen stepped in
some chemical preparation. These
were unrolled with the utmost care

appeared almost as perfect as when

preserved that even the fan-shaped
beard seemed as if it had only recent

The Robust Physique Can Stand More
Coffee Than Weak Ono.
A young Virginian says: Having
q naturally robust constitution far
above the average and not having a
nervous temperament, my system was
able to resist the inroads upon 1t
by the use of coffee for some years but
finally the strain began to tell.
For ten years l have been employ
ed as telegraph operator and type
writer by railroad in this section
and until two years ago had used cof-
fee continually from the time l was
eight years old, nearly 20 years.
"The work Of operating the tele-
graph key is great strain upon the
nerves and after the days work was
over I would feel nervous, irritable,
run down and toward the last suffer
ed greatly from insomnia and neu.
ralgia. AS l never INDUCED in intoxi-
eating liquors, drugs or tobacco in
any form / came to the conclusion
that coffee and tea were causing the
gradual breakdown of my nervous
system and having read an article in
the Medical Magazine on the compost
ton of coffee and its toxic effect upon
the system, was fully convinced that
coffee was the cause of my trouble.
Seeing Postum spoken of as not
having any of the deteriorating eff
fects of coffee decided to give up the
stimulant and give Postum trial. The
result was agreeably surprising. After
a time my nerves became wonderfully
strong, 1 can do all my work at the
telegraph key and typewriter with far
greater ease than ever before. My
weight has increased 35 pounds, my
general health keeping pace with it,
and am a new man and better one"
