How much ammunition does a mod

rifles was 3OOOO,OOO cartridges. for
field artillery 100000 rounds. 1t is
worth noting that battles are much
less costly in ammunition than sieges.
The siege of Strassburg alone cost.

amount of ammunition used in all the

Each one was allowed to describe an
animal and the others we're to guess
the name. Donald anxiously awaited
his turn. When it came he began with
enthusiasm: why, it's a great, big,
clumsy animal with a thick hide and
a tail like rope. 1t has little eyes
close together, big, aappy ears, long
trunk"
Here he was interrupted by many
eager to guess.
An elephant" shouted the first boy
permitted to speak.
No" said Donald, stolidly.
The class searched their brains for
other guesses and even the teacher
was puzzled Finally all gave up"
and Donald was asked the maize.

Strange scorpion Found.

A curious, strange specimen of liz
ard or scorpion was captured by Wal.
ter T. Todd near the trolley station
of the Chambersburg, Greencastle &
Waynesboro Street Railway company
at Highfield, Pa. The reptile, or what
not, was about eight inches in length
and the color of brick dust. 1t was
found lying on the ground only few
feet from the station and, on account
of the rain and cool weather, was un-
able to use it's locomotive powers very
actively and was easily captured.
The reptile had an elongated body
without scales, four short legs and
short tail, and it's body was almost as
tough as rubber. Where it came from
no one seems to know.

kidneys, which interfered seriously with my busi'

to eat GrapeNuts instead of the heavy meats, etc.

change that was soon relieved from the heartburn
and Indigestion that used to follow my meals, that

BRAIN which was slow and lethargc from heavy
diet of meats and greasy foods, had not in a mo-

soldier of Napoleon, who was so no.
