States worth imitation and he has an
nounced the fact
After a banquet which the kaiser gave
here a few days ago to distinguished
academcians from German and foreign uni
versltes he received students representing
the corps and associations OF the Berlin
university. The kaiser chatted for long
time with them. and among the excellent
things he said he would like to see German
students drink less and devote more time
to sport I'm the manner American students
do. Men who spent much time in peering
into beer mugs he said, never amounted
to much, excepting in weight and avolrdu-
pots. and did not cut much figure these
times.

Kaiser Studies While shooting.
| The emperor, who recently returned
from a hunting trip, Immediately started
off for the Charlottenburg Technical school
to take part in the deliberations at the
conference of the shipbuilders' association
He entered In the middle OF an address on
ballistlcs and contributed to the discussion
some observations collected during his ex-
perienoe IN pursuit Of game, both by him
self and his surgeon, who had studied the
effects OF bullets on the bodies OF the ami
mails slain for his imperial pleasure
The operation Of q bullet he announced
was caused by the influence OF it's rota-
ton, due 10 the rifling of the gun on the
fluid particles Of the body. In the case
of game the point of entry of the bullet
was difficult to discover, as the skin closed
up again, and frequently the hole could
only be found after search. on the other
hand. the point OF exit was so large that
one might imagine It had been made by a
she'll
The emperor had he said, at the expert
mental range at HRlense, made similar
observations on the explosive power given
TO a shot by moisture. Moreover, when
hunting in the winter he had noticed par

4 To Prevent Vessels Rolling.
The emperor showed great interest in the
details presented by Herr Frahm of Ham
burg OF a device invented by him for re-
duoing the rolling OF vessels at sea. 1t Is
a huge U-shaped tank containing water,
the oscillation OF which counteracts that
Of the ship. This contrivance had been
tried with beneficial results on the Ham
burg-American company liners, and was
being fitted on their leviathan now under
construction. The emperor congratulated
Herr Frahm on his invention and ex-
pressed. the hope that antl-rolling tanks
might soon be fitted in all passenger
steamers. The emperor talked so leanedly
about baliistics and things OF that nature
that 1t gave rise to the suspicion that his
remarks were prepared in advance for him
by an expert. The members applauded
him vooiferously and II was noticeable that
the man who howled most enthusiastically
recently secured a government contract.
