Tall Shooting in West Virginia.

There is an old Confederate sold.
Ter now visiting some friends in
Greenbrier County, w. Va, who was
a holy terror in battle. He was a
shot from 'wayback. He came to the
reunion at Richmond and stopped off.
Among his feats of craftsmanship
the following simple exploits, we are
told, are performed: He can suspend
a bottle by string, shoot and cut
the string and then break the bottle
with another shot before it hits the
ground. With small caliber gun and
large lead pencil he can knock the
lead out when the pencil is thrown
into the air, and not injure the wood
covering. A favorite pastime with
him is to start a barrel rolling down
hill and put bullet through the
bunghole every time the barrel turns
over. We call this good shooting.

How Foundations Of Great Steel
Structures Are Built.

How Foundations Of Great Steel
Structures Are Built.
The foundations for the great steel
structures are built by means Of Gals
sons IN which the men can work un-
der great pressure Of air. It IL a
very interesting sight to watch them,
and the best Of 1t is that any one
may see them at close range from an
adjoining sidewalk. The caisson Is q
hollow steel cylinder open at the
bottom and just large enough to per-
NIT q man to work. The workman
climbs down ladder in this tube and
digs away the earth at the bottom.
AS the earth is taken away the steel
tube is gradually lowered. The earth
is taken out by bucket, which is
lowered and raised by tall derrick
at one side. AS the caisson sinks.
air is pumped into the compartment
containing the man. This is to force
back any water or dirt that might
fill the hole from the outside as fast
as the workman removes it from
within. The pressure of this air is
often SO great that man can work
but an hour or so at time. At the
top Of the caisson is steel cylinder
with an air tight door at either end
which serves as kind Of vestibule to
the tube below.
When one of the caisson workers
starts to go to work he opens the
door or lid at the top and climbs in,
when the opening is once more tight
ly closed. This door Or lid is air
tight. After the opening to the out
er air has been closed the workman
opens the door at the bottom of this
steel compartment and lets in com.
pressed air from the caisson below.
It takes few minutes to become &C
customed to breathing this atmos-
phere, for the heavy air makes the
head ring. AS soon as the workman
can do SO he climbs down into the
funnel below, closing the lower door
of the steel ante-room as he does so.
All this must be done in the dark.
II the workman wishes to signal the
outer world he may do SO by striking
the steel side of his narrow prison
with his shovel. He usually signals
in this way when the bucket is to be
raised or lowered.-From Frances
Arnold Collins's "The Building of
'Sky-scraper' in st. Nicholas.

THE "TATRAHEpRAL."
Attempted Solution Of the Problem
Of Mans Elvino.

OF MANS Tying.
It is a queer thought that grave
and famous scientists sometimes be.
take themselves in dead earnest TO
the childhood sport of blowing bub-
bles,-not for sport, but to study some
very difficult and Northumberland
problems that trouble their learned
minds. Perhaps 1t is even queerer to
see man whose name is known the
world over for his learning, his inven.
tions, his wonderful mind and his
earnestness in the pursuit OF knowl-
edge, chasing after queer-loOking
kite and noting its behavior, and do
ing this, too, in the most serious man
ner.
For it is a serious matter, this
scientific kite-fying, and the work.
as it is done by DR.. Alexander Ora
ham Bell, the famous inventor Of the
Bell telephone and dozens of other
useful things, is a task which he
hopes will some day result in prac.
tical solution of that most battling OF
riddles-how is man to learn to fly!
That a plane surface Of not too
great weight, properly held at an
angle with moving air, will rise in
the air and stay up, is fact known
to every boy who ever begged rags
from mother" for the tail of his kite.
The problem of flying" is to get a
kite big enough to hold man or
men, strong enough to stand the
strain, steady enough to fly without
danger and stable enough to fly with.

stroying itself!
1t would seem that If a kite of, say,
ten square feet surface would lift ten
pounds in a certain wind, kite of
twenty square feet would lift twenty
pounds, and thirty square feet thirty
~ for this easy solution of the prob
lem, when two or more kites are adj
ded, each to each, they lack strength,
and, to get the strength, more weight
must be put into the frames and in
cross bars and braces; so that, when
the kite gets very large, indeed, large
enough to lift great deal of weight

CONTAGION A QUESTION OF
PREVENTION.

PREVENTION.
Sinks, drains, eating and cooking
utensils, sick room linen and clothing
frequently carry the dreaded disease
germ unnoticed by the household.
Thorough and hygienic cleansing is
the best safeguard against infection,
and such a safeguard is found in
the universal household necessity
Borax.
This simple preventive carries in it
self, disinfecting qualities which en-
ter the fabric or act upon the article
to be cleansed in hygienic manner,
eliminating every unwholesome prop
erty, rendering it conragIon-proof,
while at the same time Borax is OF
itself as harmless as salt.
Unlike most disinfectants which de-
pend upon their strength of odor or
harmful-to-the-syste qualities, to ar
rest or prevent contagion, Borax is
Natures remedy, being easy to OBJ
tain and easy to apply, simple solu-
ton in hot water being all the appli-
cation necessary and requiring no
prescription, it can be obtained from
any grocer or druggist in convenient,
economical household packages
In addition to its disinfecting quail
ties, Borax is especially household
necessity, and can be used for soften
ing water, cleansing and whitening
clothes, clearing the skin, whitening
hands, makes an excellent dandruff
remover and can be used on the finest
laces or most delicate fabrics without
injury, while as an adjunct to the
bath it removes all odor Of perspira-
ton and leaves the skin soft and vel
vety.

MANY stories were circulated in lV1 Wall street as to the causes of the retirement of John w. Gates and the heavenly in stocks.
 The trend of most of these stories is to the effect that while MT. Gates is still worth millions in common with many of the rich men in Wall street, he was caught in the big decline of March ii last.
 The heavy liquidation in many of the low-priced stocks that took place recently is looked upon as evidence of Gates house cleaning before his final retirement from the street.
 According to story circulated in holder of Tennessee Coal & Iron, Re public Iron & Steel and United States Realty & Improvement. These stocks he is said to have accumulated with a view to holding them as permanent investments.
 During the recent decline it is be- lieved that these stocks were freely used as collateral in his other stock market transactions and when the big slump came the bankers whom MT. Gates approached to assist him in ar ranging his affairs over the crisis sug. gested that he was rich enough to re- tire from hazardous speculation and that his retirement would be made a condition of banking aid
 MT. Gates agreed that this was SO and. 1t Is said. readily acquiesced to the arrangement.
 AS a matter of fact, MT. Gates was thoroughly disgusted with some of his customers, who had failed to re- spond to hls call for margins.
