cavalry fire in battle, because the de-
crease in the trajectory enlarges the
danger zone.
The new bullet requires an eleva-
ton of the rear sight of the gun of
$50 yards less for 1000 yards fire than
the 1906 standard government bullet.
It requires half the wind allowance,
has trajectory of about 33 per cent.
less than the old bullet, and its muz
zle velocity is 400 feet per second as
against 1900 feet per second Of the
1906 model. 1t has sharp instead of
a round point, and is slightly longer
than the one now in use
The philosophy Of the new bullet is
that the sharp point cuts the air as
the prov of a boat cuts the water, and
sends it off from the sides at an angle
of about so degrees. The round point
of the old bullet causes the air to hug
it's sides, and the resistance to be over
come is on the sides as we'll as at
the point, and Is, therefore, greater
than that which the new bullet has to
velocity and flatten the trajectory and
so not only renders the fire more ac-
curate but considerably enlarges the
danger zone Of long-range fire. With
the present style bullet in use, at 500,
900 or 1000 yards an opposing force
Of infantry Is absolutely safe at any
point within the range up to $50 yards

airy force Is absolutely safe at some
points within the range. This is due
to the height of the arc described by
the projectile in its fight through the
air and is frequently taken advantage
of in time of war by scouts who wish
to get nearer the enemy than the main
body Of troops can approach In the
recent rifle contests at Kansas City
team captains and others who were in

ing spent much time between the
firing point and the targets in order
to obtain better view of the targets,
and their position, though apparently
dangerous. was perfectly safe. With
the fiattening of the trajectory, or arc
this safety zone is greatly decreased
and the effectiveness of the fire, there
fore, increased in the same proper
ton.
From a humanitarian standpoint.
the new bullet is said to be superior
to the old one because it cuts clean
er hole, with less tearing and mutils-
ton of the tissues, than did the
round-pointed bullet, and, paradoxical
as it may sound, is really less hurtful,
though more deadly, than the bullet
now in use.
The new bullet is superior to the
old for long-range fire only, and has
not yet been adopted by the army for
rapid-fire or skirmish work or for any
work at less than 600 yards.
The pointed bullet is not a new idea.
Various types of 1t have been in use
in other countries for more than ten
years. The United States is the last
nation to adopt it, but by delaying has
been able to produce the most effective
bullet yet manufactured. This was
proven in the recent international
match for the Palma trophy, when
the American team, using the new
bullet, not only won the match over
six teams from other nations, but
broke the worlds record for individual
and team rifle fire.

The Auto Cure.

According to observations of Mr.. A.
Mouneyrat, communicated recently to
the French Academy of Sciences, au-
tomobile journeys are excellent for
the health. The rapid displacement Of
the air has, he asserts, most happy
effect upon nutrition. The number of
red globules in the blood is largely in
creased. He finds also that the auto
exercises a remarkable effect in in
ducing sleep, but not to fatigue, but to
the influence of the air respired. He
would recommend automobile riding,
at moderate speed, as a special treat
mcnt for anemia.

BUREAU FOR DOLLY.
Boy Handy with Tools Can Make His
Sister Happy.

A bureau for the dolls house. Oh,
goody. sister will say as you get out
your tools to go to work. The article
of furniture is shown complete in Fig
1, while the various parts of which it
is composed are illustrated in the
other cuts. The main body of this
piece of furniture is the box-like part
that holds the two drawers. The
back, which contains the mirror, is
made separate from the latter, and
is then united to it, just as is the
case in the making of "grown-up"
furniture.
Taking up the main part of n IL
reau first, we find three p.<,L, rec
tangular pieces, which are to be cut
from the thin orange-box wood. One
of these pieces is the top. The length
of this should be inches and the
width 31a inches. The height of the
end pieces should be Az inches and
the width 3A inches. These pieces

box wood must be glued to the inside
of the ends. and from front to back
through the middle of the bureau,
for the drawers to run upon. These
can be whitfield out with knife and
fastened in place with glue. The lit
tie knobs can be whitfield out of pine
wood and inserted in holes made in
the fronts with an awl.
The back Is framework of strips
OF the thin wood, which Is shown in
Fig. 3. The side pieces should be
inches long. and scant one-half inch
wide. The cross-pieces are 5 inches
long and are secured to the side
pieces by wooden pins, inserted as
suggested in Fig. 8, at the right side.
The lower cross-piece is wide enough
to lap little onto the bureau itself,
as can be seen in Fig. 1. Now make

edges, and the surfaces should be well
rubbed down with sandpaper.
The front is now to be cut out Of
in Fig. 2. If one has jig saw, he
can easily cut this pattern out Of the
board. If it must be cut out with a
knife, care must be taken not to break
or split the wood before completing
the part, since the wood that 10 left

until it has been firmly united with

of the water.
All the joints are hollow and gre
made water-tight with sealing wax.
The ends of the transverse straw are
likewise closed with the wax, but the
ends of the depending straws are left
open.
Now, to start this unique homemade
apparatus in action, let two persons
suck the open ends of the depending
straws until the water begins to flow,
and when they take their mouths away
the device will begin to revolve, while
the water pours steadily from the
open ends.
This revolving syphon will soon
empty the tumbler, but you may keep
the action up as long as you please
by pouring water in as fast as the
straws let it pour out.

The high and noble ambition of

ship than in purposlng to con-
summate the great work for
!. which tho father had pIanned7
. In this respect Solomon was
a striking type of the Christ,
who came deIighting to do the
will of the Father who had sent
him. The one plan of his life
was the contamination of the
supreme plan Of salvation, pur-
.. posed in the heart of God from
! the beginning.
! If Solomon was to build tenn.
pie Of wood and stone for the
dwelling place Of. God, Christ
: was to build a temple, not made
with hands, eternal in the
: heavens. His task was the
transforming of the human life
! into the temple beautiful for the
indweIling of the blessed Para

both God the Father and God
, the Son.
"There was neither hammer
nor ak nor any tool of iron
, heard in the house, while 1t was

, the building Of Gods house pro-
coed. All the material was
, brought to the temple site conn.,
pIeteIy fitted and finished, so
, that all that was necessary was
the placing of stone upon stone,
and beam upon beam, each fit

May we not gather from this
the inspiring, helpful thought
that we who are being buiIded
as living stones into Gods tenn
pie are being shaped and fash
toned and prepared to fit per-
fectiy into the completed struc-
ture when all the parts are at

place at last in the splendid tenn
pie which was to be reared, so
we, here In the earthly pilgrim
age, are receiving that disci-
pIIne which shall knock off the
sharp corners, and smooth the
rough surfaces and groove the
