Enclands Army Rifle.

Quite number of people believe
that cartridges are served out to the
soldiers separated from one another.
Cartridges are. however. usually given
out fastened together in clips Of FIVE.
The modern rifle used by the British
army Is known as magazine rifle
and holds two clips OF ten cartridges in
the magazine itself as well as an ex-
ira cartridge above the magazine. elcv-
ell rounds in all.
When the cartridge clip is forced into
the magazine the fastening is removed,
so that each cartridge when it reaches
the magazine is separate from the 9TH
ers.
The magazine of the army rifle is
nothing more than a detachable box
containing a spring. This spring
forces up one cartridge at a time into
it's position ready for firing. AS Il rule
the ten cartridges in the magazine are
only used in great emergency, as when
the order for rapid firing is given to
stop an enemy's charge. In the ordi-

Lunar Vegetation.
Professor Pickering of the Harvard
astronomical observatory declares that
there is nothing less true than that the
moon Is without air. water or vegeta-
ton. There are certain large lunar
| areas that darken toward lunar noon
| and fade out toward lunar sunset
They correspond in some degree to the
SO called Martian seas, and Professor
| Pickering uses the term fields" to de-
scribe these plains or slopes, which he
| believes to be covered with vegetation.
He is convinced that the dark fields to
be seen during the lunar summer do
not owe their blackness to shadow, for
you can see them at full moon when
shadows are absolutely invisible. The
blue-black color of the fields and ca
nails, he argues, can therefore be owing
| only to a discoloration of the surface
that comes alike on slopes and levels
