WONDERFUL MAXIM GUN—AN INTERESTING MAMMAL.

p&ai.

ProfeeMr Mayer Illustrateeln Pleasing Manner With an Arrangement of Floating Magnetic Needle* the Mutual

Repulsion of Similar Bodies. Professor A- M. Mayer bas devised an arrangement of floating magnetic needles which beautifully demonstrates the mutual repul-

of similarly magnetized bodies A number of strongly magnetized carpet needles are inserted in small corks, as shown in the prospective view of the picture here reproduced.

MAYER'S FLOATING NEEDLES. When flfating, explains Tho Scientific American, those needles arrange themselves In symmetrical groups, the form of the groups ranging with the number of needles.

One pole of a bar magnet held over the center of a vessel containing the floating needle* will disiierae the needles, while the other pole will draw them together.

An Anaesthetic Ballet.

An anresthetic bullet has beeu invented by a German chemist which, it is claimed, will, if brought into general use, greatly diminish the horrors of war. The bullet is of a brittle substance, breaking directly when it comes in contact with the object at which it is aimed. It rontains a powerful aniesthetic, producing instantaneously complete insensibility, lasting for twelve hours, which, except that the action of the heart continue?, i» not to be distinguished from death. A battle field where these bullets are used will in a short time be apparently covei-ed with dead bodies, but in reality merely with the prostrate forms of soldiers reduced for the time being to state of unconsciousness. While in this condition they may, the German chemist pointa out, be packed in ambulance wagons and carried ofT as prisoners.

The Maxim Onn.

The new and really wonderful wenjjon christened Maxim gun weighs over slxty-flve pounds, is mounted on a light tripod, which can be lorn-red, raised, moved literally with ono hand as easily as a garden hose, and

which pours out automatically 000 shots a minute. There is no crank to turn there is no labor of feeding. One man simply sots the bullets going, and then directs it ut will raking a whole regiment front if ho likes, or keeping tho fire within a range of flvo feet or live inches. The basis of it all is the utilization of the recoil force to lire tho next shot.

Longest Tunnel In the World. It is claimed that tho longest completed tunnel in the world is at Schemnitz in Hungary. It to 10.27 miles in length, with across section of 9 feet 10 inches by 5 feet 3 inches and Is used for drainago purposes. Tho new Croton aqueduct tunnel now in course of excavation near this city will bo much the longSir* est turnip) in the world. When completed it will Ins nearly 510 miles long, with a section much larger than that of tho Rchemnitz tucnel, being alout 16 feet in dianuter. Tweutjtwo miles have already beeu excavated.

A lUtmarkable Mammal.

The accompanying cut represents tho top of tho skull of thoreinarkablomammal, Tritylodon, described by Ilonry P. Osborn,

w|[||

of Princeton, in Science. It is reduced to two-thirds natural size, the genus being much larger than any "WffjlOf he it to known from the Mesozoic period. In the interval between tho parietals and frontals (I and

From the large size of the parietal foramen in Trity lodon, which greatly exceeds that of any of tho recent lizards in actual diameter, and compares with that of the labvrinthodonts and saurians. Professor Osborn infers that the primitive mammalia, of this family at least, had a pineal eyo of soma functional size and value. The facts here recorded are considered of remarkable interest to scientists, adding, as they do, to the rapidly accumulating evidence for the roptili -"*wtry of the mammals.

Why Colors Cannot be Photographed. Photography has never reproduced natural colors. Scientists explain this fact by the statement that color has no objective existence. It Is simply tho brain's interpretation of the rapidity with which the waves of a ray of light beat against the retina. Boats more rapid produeo tho sensation of tho mind known as violet beats less rapid, that known as red. Violet antI red are nothing but vibrations of the ether until they reach the optic nerve and communicate to that the vibrations which the brain translates. To photograph color it therefore as impossible as to photograph sound.

Disappearance of an Island. According to the official newspaper of the Farve islands, the rock island of Munken, south of Bumbo, has sunk out of sight. In a word, one of the most striking objects in the Farvt group, which has been sailed past and admired by thousands of people and played an important part in geographical literature, has disappeared. It once stood seventy feet above the level of the sea, but the rode gradually crumbled away so that the tide washed over its surface. The shallow waters around the island formed dangerous currents, with eddies, or maelstroms, which were much dreaded by mariners.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Qaerlee on a Variety of Subjects Answered. The Hewspapar.

What is the origin of the newspaper? RmnniIn Rome The Acta Diuraa, daily official reports of occurrences, were issued, and in modern Europe there were like periodical publications in manuscript. The first regular series of newspapers in England was called The Weekly Newes from Italy, Germanie, etc., in 1623. The first American newspaper was issued in Boston, Sept 25,1690. It was intended to be issued once a month, but was immediately suppressed by the authorities.

Lafayette.

What was the name of Gen. Lafayette, who aided us in the revolutionary wart Is "Lafayette" a name or a title? H.

His name was Jean Paul Roch Voes Gilbert Motier. He was Marquis de la Fayette. Hence he came to be called Lafayette.

Gen. Beauregard, the Confederate leader, took a name ia this way instead of his own. He is Pierre Teuton. His residence was called Beauregard, or beautiful view. Hence he was Pierre Teuton de Beauregard—resulting in P. T. Beauregard.

Superlmfaced Photograph. "ur I have heard that there is a process of taking a large number of photographs on one plate so as to get an average face, which is the same type always. Is this true? PHOTO.

Esjxsriments have been made in photographing a number of faces on one negative by taking each very light, the samo size and all in exactly the same place. In this way a type of faco is secured. It indicates that among certain people there is one prevailing type from which all slightly differ. j"* a-

Hoteh Potch.

There is a dish—Scotch, I believe—called notch Potch. Can you give me a receipt for making It? HOUSEWIFE.

In two quarts of boiling water put three pounds of back ribs or neck of lamb, paring the fat if thei-e is too much. Put with the meat two or three carrots cut in squares and two carrots grated also three or four sweet young turnips in squares, a cauliflower and a lettuce cut down, a

A Female Pope.

Was there ever a female pope of Rome? X. Y. There is a story of an English girl named Joan having once held the chair of St. Peter. It was said that she left Cologne (where she was educated) with ber lover, a monk, and went to Athens, where she studied law then to Rome, where sho studied theology and bocamo so famous that she was chosen to succeed Pope Leo IV. Her sex was afterward discovered by her giving birth to a child. Sho ruled as pope for two years and a half. When she died sho was buried without honors. The story is now generally disbelieved.

Bluebeard".

Is there any foundation for the story of Bluebeard, who was said to have murdered so many wives? SARAH.

The original of Bluebeard is supposed to hava been Giles tie la fletz, lord of Lavel, who was boru in 1400 und fought under Joan of Arc. He became a marshal of France, and lived in style until his fortune was all spent, when he took to sorcery and pagan rites, besides slaughtering children. Ho was known (luring his lifetime as Darbe Blue, or Bluebeard. Whether he really murdered all his wives or not, history doesn't say.

The Largent Hell.

What was the largest bell ever cast? T. L. The largest bell was cast in Moscow in 1730, but was broken in 1737. It weighed 250 tons. The largest lell in England was cast at Houghton-le-8prlng, Durham. It was 7 feet 10tf inches high and inches in diameter. Its clapper weighed 1,200 pounds. It was cracked in 1857 and replaced by a lighter one.

*Vliich could raise tho greater force ia case of wu. or Germany? M. O. Tht lit standing army of France is larger hut of Germany. Tho population of u. isinny is somo 8,000,000 more than Franco. It would be impossible to predict which nation would succeed in turning out the most uiou.

Our Coat of Arms.

Can you state the origin of the coat of arms of the United States? U. 8. In 1776 congress appointed a committe to report a device for a national seal No satisfactory devico was reported till 1783, when John Adams, then our minister to England, forwarded the suggestion of Sir John Presfcwick. an English antiquary. The present seal was based on his suggestion.

Slav* Markets.

Ix the traffic la female slaves practiced any* where in the world! A. Y. Yea. Women are publicly bought and sold in China. _________

The Pyramid*.

When and for what purpose were the pyramids of Egypt built? G. D. a There are various surmises. Some say they were built for astronomical purposes others, misting the encroachment of the desert sand others, for granaries or ft* reservoirs. Recently it has been said that they were built aa tombs for the monarchs of Egypt from the fourth to the twelfth dynasty. It probable that they were used or built for tombs, but a pas sage in one of them pointing to bright star thai directly in its tkkl of view woukl indicate that some astronomical purpose was intended.

a little parsley and a good pint of sweet young peas freshly gathered. Boil for an hour and a half and then take out tho meat and cut it in chops, laying it aside. Add another pint of young peas, seasoning with pepper and salt, and when these peas are dono put in tho chops. In a few minutes sei-ve the whole in a tureen. It makes a very delicious dish.

SOAP BUBBLES.

The fascinating but evanescent sOap bubble may be mode to endure several hours if a ma teur chemists will observe the following direc tions: Dissolve one part, by weight, of pure white soap, cut into thin slices, in forty parte of water (distilled water is preferable) and filter. MIT two parts, by measure, of purr glycerine with one part of the filtered solution at a temperature of '66 degrees Fahren heit, and after shaking together long and violently let stand twenty-four hours. Then filter and use in the delightful pastime of blowing bubbles.

Skillful Devices From Nature's Models. Most of the skillful devices invented by men may be traced to nature. The discoverer of each new appliance or mechanism understands that, after all, bis idea was as old as the hills. The buhrstones of mills are another .'tyle of the molar teeth which grind nil the prist that feeds men and beasts. The hoofs of horses are made of parallel plates like carriage springs. The finest file of human manufacture is a rough affair compared with the Dutch rush used by cabinet makers. The jaws of the turtle and tortoise are natural scissors. The squirrel carries chisels in his mouth, and the hippopotamus is provided with adzes, which are constantly sharpened a* they are worn. The carpenter's plane is ^ound in the jaws of a bee. The woodpecker has a powerful little triphammer.

"t'l Eggs in the Bush.

This game is an improvement upon the one called "odd or even." Dick asks Tom to guess the number of "eggs in the bush"—that is, the number of marbles in his closed hand. If Tom can guess the light number ho takes all but if ho is out in his reckoning he pays Dick as many marbles as will make up or leave the exact number. Suppose Dick has six marbles in his hand now, if Tom should guess either four or eight he would have to forfeit two marbles to Dick, because four is two less, and eight is two more than the exact number. The players hold the "eggs in the bush" alter"*K|y-

Boring for natural gas is very like boring for oQ in all its workings but the after operations of pumping, etc., necesmry to raise the oil, are not required, for if gas be present it comes up of its own freewill, and comes with a tremendous rush.

The discovery of these fountains of gas prove the wonderful reserved stores of nature. The coal was formed long years ago, and now deep down ia the earth have been struck these vast reservoirs o€ oompre—d gas.

SOCIAL ETIQUETTE.

MaSMti ^aad Customs Practiced in Po-

However other points of etiquette vary and change it is always true that the dinner and the diner should be ready at the same moment Exact punctuality Is the only true politeness. As regards an invitation to dinner, "never" is better than "late."

Two Important Duties.

A hostess should remember, says Mrs. Sherwood, when she asks people to visit her, that she has two important duties to perform— one, not to neglect her guests the other, not to worry them by too much attention. Never give a guest the impression that he is "being entertained," that he is on your mind. Fol low the daily life of your household and your duties as^ybu desire, taking care that your guest is never in an unpleasant position or neglected.

In a country neighborhood it often occurs that a hostess cannot avoid asking her guests to go to some stupid entertainment or to become acquainted with her country neighbors. The guest, however, who has no interest, betranger. in these local matters, ought tted to decline said hospitalities if

Plain Suggestions for Every Bay. If a door has a spring on it, do not let it slam after you.

Bee that your feet are clean before entering any one's house. If you find a door closed, close it again as you pass through.

Do not scratch matches on anybody else's walls or woodwork. If you visit a reading room, be careful to put back papers and magazines in their proper places.

Do not talk so loud at places of amusement as to disturb others and prevent their enjoyment of the performance by so doing you rob them of a part of that which they havfj paid for and virtually pick their pockets. 7 T• Sense ut smeil.

The nose of a dog is so acute that it can follow its master's trail almost anywhere, yet experiments show that sheets of tissue paper placed on the ground to be walked oyer and afterward removed effectually prevent any trace of tho scent from lying, though strong perfumes sprinkled along the track will not baffle the dog.

The true secret of success is merit. This is so with Red Star Cough Cure, a purely vegetable compound, entirely free from opiates, poisons and narootics, and which has received the public endorsement of physicians ana chemists everywhere. Twenty-five cents.

You should use one of Pomeroy's Plasters. It's effect is quick and sure. Such was the statement and answer uiadt by two parties in the writer's presence, and it is the truth. No other remedy has cured so many cases of Rheumatism, Backache, Neuralgia, Lumbago, etc., as Pomeroy's Plasters. But in order that you may not be deceived by an imitation, always insist upon having Pomeroy's Petroline Plasters, in envelopes.

he reduction of internal revenue and taking off* of revenue stamps from prietary Medicines, no doubt has gely benefitted the consumers, as well as relieving the burden of home manufac urers. Especially is this the case wiLq Green's August Flower and Bosc bee's German Syrup, as the reduction of thirty-six cents per dozen, has been added to increase the size of the bottlesleontaining these remedies, thereby sriving one-fifth more medicine in the cent size. The August Flower for Ayspepsia and Liver Complaint, and the Cterti&n Syrup for Cough and Lung troubles, have perhaps, the largest sale otany medicines in the world. The advantage of increased size of the bottles will be greatly appreciated bythe sick and afflicted, in ©very town antt? village In civilized countries. 8am pie bottles fprlO cents remain the same size.
