Why Rifle Barrels Rust.
From the Chicago News.

From the Chicago News
Science, in the guise of chemistry, has at
last made effective the elbow-grease that
has from time immemorial been Ineffective
ly employed in cleaning gun barrels De-
spite the best endeavors of the rifiemen
it Is found that after the piece is put away
for week or two the interior surface be-
comes covered with rust. The solution OF
the problem as to how best to avoid this
rusting came through the intelligent IN
vestigation of the causes producing the
rust. It appears that the nitrogen In the
various explosives used in the modern car
fridge is deposited in the form of nitric
acid in the gun barrel, but escapes re-
moval during the mechanical cleansing
process by reason of the fact that 1t is
protected by very fine deposit of copper
plating, produced by the bullet. Accord
ingly, chemistry was resorted to to find
a solvent for the metallic coating which
would not injure or attack the steel barrel,
but which would thus expose the nitric
acid fouling so that 1t could be readily re-
moved by the usual methods of cleaning.
A Captain Hardcastle of the English army
claims to- have produced such solution,
which he has named ''cunicide." With the
fflament of copper removed. and the foul
ing exposed applications of soap and oil.

He Didn't Get Tired Like the Rest
For = Very Good Reason.
Clemest Scott, the English dramatic
critic. took u profound interest In the
American Indian. He had Mt his
tongues tip hundred incidents where
Sith to illustrate odd phases Of the
Indians character.
There was u farmer In the west
who was hard put to 1t for help upon
bis farm. Indians were plentiful In
the neighbOrhood, but they were poor
workmen. Always tired, they would
put down the hoe or rake as soon as
the masters back was turned and, Be-
Letting cool spot. they would lie
down on the grass and sleep the day
away.
but one morning very tall, robust
Indian asked the farmer to give him
work.
".NO,' said the white man, you Will
get tired. You Indians are always get
ting tired
"'Oh, no. said the other. This In
jun never get tired. This Injun not
like the rest
".Well. I'll try you," said the farmer
and he engaged the man. He put him
to work In wheatfield; then he went
away for an hour or two. When he re-
turned he found the Indian asleep un
der tree.
Here, wake up here he cried. You
told me you never got tired
Ugh said the other, yawning, this
Injun don't. But II he not lie down
often he would get tired just the same
as the rest"

When performance Of the drams

German theater 1t was announced that
the stage effects In the play were eX
tremely fine and that the scene where
Tells splendid craftsmanship was made
apparent would astonish every one
The audience waited as patiently as
they could until that scene and were
certainly astOnished.
The scene arrived where Tell was tc
shoot the apple from his devoted sons
head, and the apple and Tells cross
bow were connected by an Invisible
wire, along which the arrow was &c
speed to the target.
At the proper cue the arrow dio
speed halfway toward the apple, and
there stuck, to all appearance In mid
air In vain did the doughty Tel
shake his bow to carry the arrow tc
its mark. The son of Tell looked very
frightened and didn't know what was
happening.
The apple. firmly fixed on his youth
full Uranium, was bobbing about, ths
audience was laughing. and the laugh
burst into a roar when one OF Gesslera
guards took in the situation and, com
ing forward from his position ut the
side of young Tell, calmly gave the ar
row Il smart rap with his spear, when
1t sped on It's way and buried Itself IN

Both Couldn't Join Church.

Ex-senator Mason has two cousins
brothers-who keep general store In a
southern Illinois town. One OF the big
gest features of their business is the
purchase and sale of wool, the wool
being bought in small lots from neigh.
boring farmers. There came revival
of religion in the town, and one of the
brothers Joined the church. Then he
took to importuning his brother to do
likewise, pointing out to him the beauty
and comfort of a religious life. One day
he grew particularly eloquent and said
20, Jim, it is glorious to be Chris
tian. 1t brings such peace to ones soul.
One feels better, lives better, is better.
1t is uplifting and refreshing. 1t exalts
ones life and makes him SEQ things in
brighter light. The little annoyances
diminish to nothingness and it makes
one happy. Even now feel its glow In
my heart. You ought to join the
church, JIM"
To which Jim most seriously replied
ayes, Bill, know it is good thing to
be Christian and belong to the church,
and I would like to have all of those
benefits, but the fact is that somebody
has got to weigh the wool that we buy,
