Against Burglars.

The smallest breech-loading cannon
in the world is now being made for
pocket use. 1t is not toy, but takes
a 22-caliber rim-fire cartridge.
OF course, it is not easy to hit any
thing at distance with it, on account
of there being no sights and the barrel
being only half an inch long and CON

special use of this cannon" is for
soaring off burglars, as when fired
with blank cartridge it makes tre-
mendous bang, and fires a bullet that
would inflict a nasty wound at close
range.
Its inventor Is Edmund c. Moore OF
New York, who is also the patentee
of a rifle grenade.

Survival Amona Birds.

The struggle of life among the birds
and other wild creatures is SO severe
that the feeble and malformed or the
handicapped in any way, quickly drop
out, writes John Burroughs in Har-
per's Magazine. Probably none of them
ever die from old age. They are cut
off in their prime. A wedding out proc
ess goes on from the time they leave
the nest. A full measure of life, the
perfection of every quill and feather,
ana unerring instinct, carry them
along. They are always in the en-
emy'e country: they are always on the
firing line; eternal vigilance and cease
less activity are the price of life with
Them. The natural length of life of
our smaller birds is calculated to be
eight or ten years, but probably not
one in a thousand reaches that age.
Not half dozen times in my life have
| found the body of a dead bird that
did not show some marks of violence.

Even the mules in the mines here
