eighths inches at the muzzle end
of the gun. The grooves In the
steel jacket have full access to the
atmosphere at the breech, thus
forming series of Enclosed air
ducts running the entire length OF
the barrel. Each time the gun is
fired the ejector action Of the dis
charge blast sucks through these
ducts, from the rear, draft of air
which serves to carry OF the heat

method of cooling the gun adds

Aside from these two detriments we
must consider that unground feed

order to supply this deficiency, the
animals have craving for water and
large quantity is thus consumed
much more than is necessary-and
yet, this enormous amount of water
has not the desired effect in promot-
ing digestion as do the natural juices
that should have bean brought down
by thorough mastication.
On the other hand where the grain
is ground before feeding, it is fine and
dry, adhering to ths animals mouth

before it can swallow. This avoids
the drawback above mentioned, and
by the grain being we'll crust he'd it in

parturc for Samoa, in 1898,
has just been presented TO the
club by the estate Of the late

the club, who requested and
received the scrawlcd pages
from the writer. The speech
was not published at the time,
and Mr.. Lindsay refused during
life 70 allow it ont Of his posses

that it should be given 20 the
club. The eighteen pages will
be framed separately and hung
upon the clubroom walls.
Stevenson was occupying a
little cottage, not much more
prctcntious than a shack, at
Waikiki, three miles from Homo

Scottish Thistle Club invited
him to speak before them. The
author was preparing for his
trip 70 Samoa; but he accept
