Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 80, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 June 1899 — Force of Rifle Bullet. [ARTICLE]

Force of Rifle Bullet.

In the English official regulations for 1898 It Is stated that the mean extreme range of the Lee-Metford bullet may be taken as about 3,500 yards, although, with a strong wind, 3,700 yards have been observed. The bullets find their way through joints of walls, unless the walls are made very fine and set in cement About 150 rounds, concentrated on nearly the same spot at 200 yards, will break a nine-inch brick wall. Rammed earth gives less protection than loose. When fired into sand the bullet is found to be always turned aside after It has entered a little way. Magnificent promises are always to be suspected.—Theodore Parker. Piso’s Cure for Consumption has been a godsend to me.—Wm. B. McClellan, Chester, Fla., Sept. 17, 1895. Progress Is the activity of to-day and the assurance of to-morrow.—Emerson.

Ossquled for its Purpose. As a covering for walls sad celling* :j there is nothing equal to the celebrated product of the Alabtt* | tine Company of Grand Rapids, Mich* ? It is eminently healthful and economical. Being porous, it permits ventilation, in which it is superior to wall pa- '■'] pers, which, besides, are often talnte<| | witli poison. This makes Alabaattnpl unequal for use in sleeping rooms. To* | much thought cannot be given to the 41 condition of the apartments in which J we sleep, and they should be freed a* 1 much as possible from the germs of 6 i disease and death. By coating th* J walls and ceilings of these rooms wlth:| the pure Alabastine, this danger is obviated. There is nothing more pur* and cleanly than this wall coating, tb» 1 base of which is a natural reck product that sets on the wall and hardens with >! age. Alabastine docs aot rah or seal* | off and requires no scraping before re- \ tinting. There is absolutely no com- J parison between the beautiful and dur- f able Alabastine and tbe Arty kal~ somines and other disease-engendering i appliances of which the world is now : weary. It Is the only preparation | which can be properly applied by tb* householder himself. It is ouly nece* J sary to mix it with cold water. It 1* I then ready for use, and a child can- j brush it on. Alabastine is for sale by paint dealers, who, when requested, will glv* • inquirers a card of tints, running from- | white to twelve other beautiful colors. • Or this may be had, with a free copy of d their paper “The Alabastine Era,” by writing to tbe company. Purchaser* j should refuse any offers of “something, just as good” as Alabastine. By insisting on having Alabastine in package* and properly labeled, they will get sat- I isfactory results and beautiful walls. Homer was a beggar.
