A woman went to a probate court
to see about settling the estate of
her husband.
"Are you the judge of the repro
bates ?" the woman asked of the
judge of the court. The judge kind
ly explained that he was not the
judge of the reprobates. but was
the probate Judge.
"Well," said the woman, 81 came

MODERN BULLETS.
The Pointed, Blunt Nossd and Ssft
Nosed and Thsir Defects.

The various bullets used by
armies of civilized nations admit Of
being grouped in three classes. One
of these classes of ~projectiles is call
ed the reduced caliber, iacketed bull
let. The second class includes the
lcaden balls in shrapnel and the
blunt nosed bullet formerly in use
in the British army and subsequent
ly used by the S~ervians. To the
third class belong the expanding
bullets, the soft nosed bullet and
the dumdum bullet. Some authori-
ties speak of the first class as the
pointed bullet. 1t has less stopping
power han the other two. The
greater part Of the nations of the
world use the ogival bullet, a point
ed bullet whose tip forms an obtuse
angle like an arch.
The two bullets now in use, the
ogival and the blunt nosed, have a
rotary and wabbling motion. On
impact they produce a wound like
that made by the blow of a ham,
mer. This effect seems to be observ-
ed at all ranges. but particularly at
1000 yards. Here the gyroscopic
steadiness due to rotation is lost,
the bullet may even turn on its axis
and produce explosive effects. Lat
erial impact cen the only expla-
nation of these explosive effects.
The unstable japanese bullet, un-
stable because it is the lightest and
smallest in use, makes at 800 to
1000 yards perforations which are
large, with explosive exits, and in
the soft viscera a wide track show
ing a great deal of liberation. These
effects are probably the result of
the bullets course, which is a tam
gent to the curve of the trajectory.
Before it takes a curve, at very
short ranges, it has effects less Sc
we're, but here its stopping power is
less. In this respect it is much in
ferior to the blunt nosed bullet.
There is, however, a marked de-
feet Of the pointed bullet. The re-
suit of shaving off the tip and shout
der to a fine point is to throw the
center of gravity very far back.
This popularity tends to make the
bullet travel on its transverse axis.
This effect increases wounding pow
er by increasing the area of the
wound.
The dumdum bullet has a jacket
and a core of lead, but it's special
quality is the projection of the
lead beyond the mantle. When it
strikes an object the soft lead
spreads out in the shape of a mush-
room; hence the bullet causes
wounds that have great stopping
power.-New York Medical Journal.

so those in the straits will be over.
Whelmed by the mass of explosives
hurled upon them from the long-range
artillery of the battleships of today.
When the forts in the straits we're
planned ships were dependent upon
the wind and they carried guns which
could not compare in power with
those mouRted in the land batteries.
When Vice-Admiral Duckworth took
a British squadron through the straits
in 1907 his vessels were assailed with
huge shots, some of them weighing 500
pounds, but even these heavy missiles
did little damage. Today the British
ships will throw shells filled with high
explosives, each more than double the
weight of the shot thrown at Vice-Ad-
miral Duckworths ships, and the de.
struction wrought by such missiles
will be immeasurably greater.
Moreover, it is unnecessary for the
ships themselves to approach near
enough to be injured by the shore bat
teries, even if the guns in these have
been somewhat augmented from Ger
man sources. 1t is already announced
that the forts at The mouth of the
straits, about two miles apart, have
been crumbled into atoms, and those
in the narrows, further up, can be sim.
ilarly treated at ranges at which the
ships themselves will be comparative
ly immune. There remain other OBJ

the gorilla sometimes picks up a ne

natives rescue it in rather an ingen-

of bananas in the way of the gorilla,
which seizes them with both hands
and let's the baby drop. Had the baby
been one Of its own kind it would have
clung to its nurse. But, being a hui
man baby, it naturally falls, SO that
