THE TELESCOPE SIGHT
 FOR ARMY RIFLES
Improvements Suggested for Making It Practicable.

Washington, Oct. 23.-An interest ing test of the new telescopic sight intended for use in the army was re- gently made by Capt. K. K. V. Casey on the District or Columbia rifle range, under the auspices of the military publication Arms and the Man" Capt. Casey is generally con- sidered the best long distance shot in the country and hls work with the telescope sight Is pronounced wonder full He used a model of 1903 rifle, and shot at 1760 yards, or just one mile, firing on a regulation c target at the 1000 yards butts Both the range and the telescope sight were unfamiliar to Capt Casey and the ground on which he lay was unsuit- able to firing and approximated rough service conditions. He got the range at first shot and stayed on the target throughout a string of twenty shots with the wind about 22 miles an hour. In the course of a long and careful report Capt. Casey says the sight as now placed on the gun is in a position that makes it practically useless from a military standpoint, so he moved it forward two and one half inches during the test. He ad- vanced a number of other criticisms of a technical character. but says it clearly demonstrated it's practical value as a service sight, not only for the sharpshoOter. but even for the general run of men in line of battle" He also says: Tt certainly will en- able a man to be more certain of his hold and prevent errors of improper sighting. With the regulation service sight it was impossible, on account of intervening leaves and undergrowth. to see the target over the sights, but with the telescope sight the target could be seen sufficiently well to sight on. thus showing the advant- ages of the telescope sight in cover" Capt. Casey is the present holder of the Wimbledon and Leech cups, the most famous trophies in the country for long distance shooting with the military rifle.

The idea of indoor rifle contests for
 school boys which resulted in inter esting contests in New York and Washington last year. is spreading.
 and Boston will have one during the coming winter. New York and Wash ingtOn will renew their contests. and it is hoped that similar shoots will
 be held in Baltimore and St. Louis The regular military model .22 rifles are used. and after training with these the boys go on the outdoor range and make excellent scores. The National Capital Rifle and Revolver club of this city. which, handles the school boy shoot, expects to have an outdoor contest next spring for the school boys on either it's own or the national guard range.
 Although the Krag has been rele-
 gated to the rear by the new Spring sield, the old gun is still a favOrite with many marksmen who claim that it is superior to the new arm. It was used in a number of matches during the summer and more than one prize was won by the Krag against the
 new Springfield.
 An interesting suggestion has been advanced that a match be arranged | between Maj. c. B. Winder of Ohio. a
 noted shot and a staunch advocate of the Krag, and Capt. K. K. " Casey,
 an equally celebrated shot and an ad- vocate of the new gun. Such a match
 would excite the greatest interest in | the rifle world.
 ! In the annual report to the war de- partment Brig. Gen. Frederick D.
 Grant, commanding the Department of the East, makes some interesting
 recommendations concerning rifle practice. He recommends the use of
 moving targets, single figures and | groups, in all army small-arms work, | in place of stationary targets. as in war almost all targets would be nov | ing. He notes that the nearest gov ernment ranges to the troops station
 ed at Washington. New York and
 Boston, are 474, 33O and 1OS miles distant, respectively, so urges the ac- | quiring of suitable ranges near all
 three cities. He suggests that if a
 school of musketry be established in
 the east. similar to the one at Monte
 rey. Calif, it should be located at
 Fort Ethan Allen.

Love is animal, spiritual and ration

A GOOD BARN.
This Is the Only Kind That It Pays
to Build,

1t pays better to build good barn
than it does poor barn. 1t will pay
the farmer better to take time to
think over the matter of building
than it will to rush in and build
barn that will become rickety in 90
years. Time slips away rapidly, and
the poorly built barn deteriorates
rapidly. If it is so built that 1t will
have life of not more than 20 years.
then five per cent. must be charged
off as depreciation each year, and this
is equivalent to an interest of that
amount, which has to be added to the
interest on the original investment.
This will sometimes make total of
more than ten per cent, which is too
much money for man to pay out an
nually on any structure. Therefore,
says Farmers Review, the part OF wis
dom is to build for permanency Ma
terials, plans and labor should be such
that the barn will have life of from
90 to 100 years. In that case the an
nual charge for depreciation will be
less than two per cent. The poorly
built barn will soon take on an ap-
pearance that will detract from the
value of the farm, in case the farm
| has to be sold.

WOMAN LIVES ON AT 1870.
She Became Pauper at Age Of 81, in
the Year 1860.

York, pam accidental examina-
ton of the records of admissions to
the York county almshouse reveals
the fact that Miss Mena Miller, an in
mate, Familiarity known as "Old
Meeney," is probably the oldest per
son in Pennsylvania. Her age, COM
puted from the records, is $50 years
For some time her mental condition
has been on a decline, and she herself
cannot confirm the evidence of the
records. She is very much wrinkled
and bent, but still retains sufficient ac-
tivity to attend church services every
Sunday. Until two years ago she
walked to Baltimore almost every
spring.
1t has been generally accepted that
"Old Meeney" was the most aged In
mate of the institution, but no one ever
before took the trouble to verify con
lectures regarding her age. The rec
ord book of admission examined
shows her to have been 50 years old
when she entered the institution, IN
1860. At that time her mind was quite
clear, and it is believed the informa
ton she gave was correct
The woman was born in some par
of Germany, and the record shows tha'
she was about q years old when she
came to America. She landed at New
York, and lived for years as a servan
with families in West Chester, Pa
and about Philadelphia. She ha'

AN INTERESTING
CHEMICAL EXPERIMENT
Any Child Can Do 1.-THE Result ls
Almost Like Maglc-useful, Too.

Anything in the nature Of chem
zeal experiment is always interesting
and usually educative. Here is a sim
pie experiment which any child can
perform and which is instructive In a
very practical way: Get bit of White
Lead about the size of pea, a piece
of charcoal, a common candle In a
candlestick, and blow-pipe. Scoop
out little hollow in the charcoal to
hold the White Lead, then light the
candle, take the charcoal and lead in
one hand and the blow-pipe In the
other. with the large end of the blow
pipe between the lips; blow the flame
of the candle steadily against the bit
of White Lead on the charcoal and III
the White Lead is pure it will pres
emily resolve itself into little shining
/ globules of metallic lead, under the
intense heat Of the blow-pipe. leaving
no residue.
II, however, the White Lead Is adul-
terated in the slightest degree, 1t will
not wholly change into lead. So, II
| will be seen, that this experiment is
not only an entertaining chemical
demonstration, but also of practical
use in the home. White Lead IL the
most important ingredient of paint
II should be bought pure and unadul
terated and mixed with pure linseed
oil. That is the best paint The
above easy experiment enables any
one to know whether the paint is the
kind which will wear or not.
