A Thinking Gun Sight.

At the Royal society's conversations
at Burlington House. London, the 9th
er day the model of naval gun sight
by Professor G. Forbes. F. r. S., was
exhibited. Decreased muzzle velocity
owing to erosion, the rate at which the
object is travelling, the difference be-
tween shot fired through the air
when the barometer is high and when
it is low and other pitfalls in the path
of the man behind the gun are all al
lowed for, and one of these sights is
being fitted to a six inch gun on
II. NJ. S. Africa. 1T thinks for ITSELF"
as one admirer said.

by steam cars. Soon the trolley to
| Baltimore and Washington may be
completed and others are stretching
across Pennsylvania to Pittsburg and
set the pace, for in the east there is
no baggage allowed, and sleepers are
trolley systems. West of Pittsburg and
Buffalo, however, the trolley not only
completes with the railway, but actu-
ally makes better time and connection
for thousand miles at stretch. The
six or seven thousand miles of inter-
urban trolleys in Ohio and Indiana now
sell interchangeable mileage books at
the very low rate of IA cents per
mile, or less than one-half the rate
charged by the western steam rail-
ways. Sleepers. baggage and dining
cars are provided on the through troll
ley expresses, and every inducements
offered the travelling man to turn from
the steam to the electric railways. 1t
is in the west that the great future of
the interurban trolley seems to lie.
From the northwestern corner Of
New York state to Kalamazoo, Mich,
more than 500 miles, there is a regular
electric flyer. You may eat, sleep and
write aboard the trolley, or, if you
care to jump off to view the scenery
or sell a bill of goods at a small way
side town, where there is no "lang
wait before the next train comes
bowling along. Recently one of these
special flyers over the Ohio and Indi-
ana lines completed trip of ISL miles
in q hours and Is minutes, including
stops. This was at the rate of %
miles an hour; and over some of the
steam railroads that have recently
been trolleyized, the speed was even
more rapid. Not only are the narrow
gage railways discarding the locomo-
tive for the overhead trolley, but in
Ohio trolley lines are built parallel to
the canals, and the trolley car takes
the place of the mule, hauling great
tows of barges at a speed that the
original builders of the canal never
dreamed would be possible.

Two Kinds of Love.

softly, cor is it simply a sisters af-

Just then Bobby burst noisily into
the room and interrupted her sweet
meditations.
Get out of here, you young scamp"
she shouted, and Selling him by the
collar she pushed him through the
door.
"Ah, no." she sighed, as she re-

until the water boils, then take of
and let cool enough to handle the

WHOM TO SERVE.

The question of who is served first
is somewhat disputed one. \
hostess who is older than her guests
should be served before them. but
when she is younger il is more court
eous 10 serve the guests first. The
idea of serving hostess first is
that where elaborate dishes are
passed il is better for her TO take the
initiative in helping herself. and also
that she may observe that all about
the dish is correct, but in general
entertaining ii is better to have the
women guests served before the host
