mind remembrance Of the many good
dinners Mrs. Anderson had cooked for
him, of the treats Anderson had be-
slowed upon him: so he cut OF a large
piece Of yenison and boldly walked up
to the door with it in his hand. Heavy
steps were heard inside, the door was
opened-by the game warden, out on q
tour of inspection and stopping at An
dersons for a little rest and refresh
ment. Poor Felix; the venison conf1s-
Gated, the scanty. hard earned dollars

And yet, served him right. So many
of the men that live up there show
thought only for the immediate pres
ent; seem to possess not even average
intelligence in regard to game preserva-
ton. They slay in midsummer and mid
winter; and many poor little fawn
loses its life as well as its mother at
the hands OF these ruthless woodsmen.
It it were not for the cunning of the
deer, it is doubtful If much game would
survive in the present lax enforcement

the Oda mine. A mine of this type it
was which destroyed the Petropav-

automatically to any depth of water,
and from what descriptions of it have
reached the outside world, appears to
be very similar to the mine invented
by Capt. Ottley of our navy, and wide-
ly used in the British service. It il
claimed for it that it carries an enor-
nous charge of explosive, so that if q
ship should touch it, that ship is GER
tain to be destroyed. Large numbers
of these mines have been laid near
Port Arthur, and they have accounted
for several Russian vessels besides tho
Petropavlosk, which sank in a little
over a minute after the explosion of
the mine. In the case of the Petro-
pavlosk. however, the magazines of
the ship were detonated by the mine.

book, the Russians employed precisely
similar tactics against Admiral Togo,

were guilty of a grave ofFense against

attempts will probably be made by
western nations to acquire its secret.
The powder is not used as a propel-
liant in guns, but as an explosive in
shells. 1t seems to be some variant
of gun-cOtton, though it differs con-
siderably from gun-cott0n, is superior
to that compound in destructiveness,
and is stated to be inferior only to
blasting gelatine in explosive effect.
1t was first used by the Asama in her
action with the Variag off Chemulpho,
when shells charged with it in a very
few minutes put out of action every
officer and man on the Variag's upper
deck. The sides of the Russian ship
were full of minute holes, which for
eign observers after the battle ina
gined had been made by shrapnel bull
lets. But actually no shrapnel had
been employed. 1t is one of it's pecu-
liarities that Shimose powder blows
the steel case of the shell to innumer-
able fragments, each about the size Of
large pea, and these fragments had
caused the terrible carnage. In some
Ndo0o uCCp puuCIu1Cu "OuuuS were III
ficted, which looked as though they
had been caused by bullet, but when
the wound was examined there was no
fragment of metal in it. Exactly how
or why these wounds are produced by
Shimose powder is still something of
mystery.
Shimose powder Is used by the Jap
anese artillery on land as well as at
sea, but on land its effects do not seem
to have been so remarkable, possibly
because it has been fired from guns of
small caliber. in the projectiles Of

The proportion of shells which fail to

The Arisaka gun, with which the
Japanese field artillery is armed, is of
the same caliber as the British field
gun employed in South Africa-three
inches-and fires either shrapnel or
common shell, the shrapnel weighing
13 pounds and containing 230 balls.
The initial velocity of the gun is
small, as power is sacrificed to mobil-
ity. It stands very low on its carriage,
and has. for this reason, a peculiar ap-
pearance, like certain Of the Schneider
guns used by the Beers in the South
African war. The recoil is controlled

Only two battleships have SO far

Tor both dairy and creamery butter.
Since January, 1, 1903, cheese factories
have increased in number Of seventy

from fifty-two to sixty-six. This is a
gam for the year of III new cream
cries. seventeen cheese factories, and
fourteen skim stations. The point has
now been reached where Minnesota
probably produces more butter than
any other state in the union. And
