PlKEMEN IN BATTLE.
The Old Greek Phalsnx Was Like .
Mass of Live Bsrbed Wire.

1t is a long reach back from modern
war methods and big guns to the days
OF the pike and the battleax. But In
its time the pike did deadly work and
used In the phalanx was terrible
weapon.
A phalanx in the military affairs of
Greece was a square battalion or body
OF soldiers formed In ranks and files
compact and deep, with their shields
Joined and pixies crossing each other
so as TO render 1t almost impossible to
break II. At first the phalanx consisted
of 1000 men. but this number was aft
erward doubled by Philip Of Macedon,
and the double phalanx is hence often
called the Macedonian phslanx. Polyb-
ius describes IL thus:
1T was square of pikemen. con-
sisting of sixteen In flank and 500 In
front. The soldiers stood so close to-
gether that the pixies of the fifth rank
extended three feet beyond the front
The rest, whose pixies were not service
able owing TO their distance from the
'front.' couched them upon the shoulders
Of those who stood before them and.
so locking them together In file, pressed
forward TO support and push on the
former rank, by which means the as
sault was rendered more violent and
The spears of those be-
hind also stopped the missiles Of the
enemy, Each mans pike was twenty
three feet long A grand phaIanx con-
sisted of 1884 men.

AGED SOAP BUBBLES.
ps~ar Makes Monster Ones and Then
Keeps Them For Months.

The transient existence of the soap
bubble is proverbial. but Professor ].
Dewar, In a discourse recently deliv-
cred at the Royal institution In Lon
don, explained how soap bubbles
could be made to last-for months and
exhibited several specimens. The first
requisite Is that the air used In blowing
the bubble shall be free from dust.
In Professor Dewar's process the air
is filtered through cotton wool, and the
bubbles are blown by opening stop
cock In the air supply tube. For the
soap solution he prefers the purest
oleic acid Tested by the iodine num-
ber) and ammonium soap mot potas-
SUM or sodium.
To make bubble durable the sac Of
liquid must be removed from Its bot
tom by suction through tubes applied
from outside. The lecturer showed bub-
bles that had endured for months and
that were more than half a yard In
diameter, blown In glass vessels con-
tanning pure air at atmospheric pres
sure
A little water is kept at the bottom
of the vessel. A uniform temperature
of about 30 degrees F. is favorable to
longevity. Some OF Professor Dewar's
smaller bubbles were nearly year old

COURSE OF A RIFLE BALL.
Just What Happens From tho Instant
the Gun Is Fired.

Two sportsmen were disputing. One
claimed that If a rifle is sighted ON a
dead level the ball commences to fall
the instant it leaves the barrel. The
second man claimed that the bali first
rises above the level of the barrel and
then falls. They didn't settle the ques-
ton, but here is the answer:
Gravity acts upon moving and I'M
supported body instantly, be the body
large or small. In a rifle the line of
sight that is. the line of aim is one
thing; the line of the bore is another.
In order that gravity will not cause
bullet to drop too soon rife is always
made so that the line of the bore points
slightly upward as compared with the
line of sight. The result is that, while
the bullet begins to drop away from
the direct line Of the bore the moment
it leaves the piece, it rises at first
above the line of sight and then slowly
drops below it,
Rifles are usually made so that they
will strike the object aimed at at GER
hunter That is TO say, they carry
point blank" Mt 200 yards. IL the OBJ
ject is farther away more front sight
must be given. Under any and all cir
cumstances. however, the bullet drops
away from the line of the bore, owing
to the gravity, the moment the gun Is
fired.-New York Tribune.
