Ball-Bearing Rifled Gun.
To diminish the friction of the ball
in the bore of a rifle and thus quicken
its velocity am American inventor
named Cullen has applied the ball-
bearing principle with results. as de-
scribed by the London Times. of a
surprising character. His 303 gun has
a muzzie velocity of 3,200 feet per
second and a point-blank rangt of
650 yards, compared with the 480
yards of the British service rifle of the
same bore, using the same charge.
While the latter drives a bullet
through 72 one-inch boards. the Cul-
len gum penetrates 116. The Cullen
barrel is six or seven inches shorter
is somewhat thicker; the rifiing
makes four complete turns. In use
the barrel does not heat and there
is little or no recoil, owing, it is be-
lieved, to the comparative absence
of friction between the bullet and the
ball bearings. The absence of heat
dispenses, in the case of Maxims,
with the need of cooling jackets and
the freedom from recoil does away
with complicated carriages and mount-
ings. A six-pounder can be fired oa
a block of wood and anticuated gun
carriages can be utilized. So service-
able is the gun that Japan contracted
for the whole output for two years.
Some 20 of Mr. Cullen's six-pounders
and one four-inch cannon are now ‘in
use in the Russo-Japanese War. Ar
Tangements have been made. however,
it is stated, by which the [United
States and England iriill hereafter
bave the sole benefit of the invention.
Polite Terms for Crime.
Our language and vocabulary, with
our growing slackness, are changing,
says Everybody's Magazine. We are
carrying things (otherwise insupport-
able) with a laugh, and coining phras-
es for the purpose. As has been
said, we are still sensitive to such
coarse words as “thief” and “steal,”
but it is vain fo deny among ourselves
that certain unchallenged doings of
today forcibly suggest those terms.
Some leave our face with an indulgent
gaiety not devoid of humor. We give
a twist and turn to the rapidly chang-
ing English language, and the ugly
words disappear in the process. When
a conductor steals a fare we joculartly
remark that he is “knocking down
on the company,” when we steal a ride
Tom the same company and conductor
we laughingly refer to our success in
“beating the game’; when we bribe
we merely “inflaence” or ‘square
when we bribe we collect
“assessments” or ‘rebates’ or ‘“‘com-
missions” or ‘retainers,’ and so on,
until we reach a grave definition of
“honest’ graft,” which would be more
bumorcus if so many people did not
feel that the term supplied them with
a ‘long-felt want. Now, these ex-
pressions and others like tXem may
bear a strong resemblance to thieves’
slang, but they merely refiect the
language of a people unconsciously
retreating to a lower moral level.
> A Wonderful Jewel.
The most extraordinary peari—or,
rather, cluster of pearls—known as
“the Southern Cross,” is owned by a
syndicate of Australian gentlemen,
who value it at $500,000. So far as is
known, it occupies an absolutely
unique position. It consists of nine
pearls, naturally grown together in
sO regular a manner as to form a per-
fect Latin cross. The pearl was dis-
covered by a pearl fisner at Roe-
bourne, West Australia. The first
owner regarded it with so much
superstition that he buried it; but
it was discovered in 1874, and five
years later was placed on exhibition
in Australia.
Miss M. Cartledge gives some
helpful advice to young girls.
Her letter is but one of thou-
sands which prove that nothing
is so helpful to young girls who
are just arriving at the period of
womanhood as Lydia E. Pink-
ham’s Vegetable Compound.
‘“ DEAR MRS. PINkHAM:—1]1 cannot
praise Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege-
table Compound too highly, for it
is the only medicine I ever tried which
cured me. I suffered much from my
first menstrual period, I felt so weak
and dizzy at times 1 could not pursue
my studies with the usnal interest.
My thoughts became sluggish, 1 had
headaches, backaches and sinking
spells, also pains in the back and lower
limbs. In fact, I was sick all over.
‘“ Finally, after many other remedies
had been tried, we were advised to get
Lydia IZ. Pinkham’s Vegetable
‘Compound, and I am pleased to say
that after talting it only two weeks, a
wonderful change for the better took
place. and in a short time I was in
perfect health. I felt buoyant, full of
‘life, and found all work a pastime. I
am-indeed glad to tell my experience
with Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vege-
‘table Compound, for it made a dif-
ferent girl of me. Yours very truly,

HOW TEDDY HELPED.
Teddy’s papa owns a large
ranch. One summer there wus a
drought. The springs dried up, and
the streams became trickling rills or
disappeared altogether. The cattle
wandered restlessly over the range in
search of water. Teddy's father sent
io the nearest town and had men come
with steam-drills and iron pipes to bore
an artisian well, so that there would al-
ways be plenty of water for the eattle.
They bored down several hundred feet
in bopes of finding an underground
stream, but they could not do so, and
had to give.up the quest. They went
away, taking their tools with them,
but leaving—what greatly interested
Teddy—a deep hole lined with iron
pipe. He would take the board off the
pipe and peer down, and then drop in
a rock and see how many he could
count before it struck the bottom.
One night after be had gone to bed
he heard his papa talking to bis ma-
ma. He said: “Last winter's blizzard
kiiled scores of tiie cattle, and now this
drought comes. They are suffering for
water and better pasture. It is all
outgo and not income. 1 don’t know
how long we can keep it up. In a few
years Teddy will be old enough to help
me, but I can’t put a ten-year-old boy
on the round-up, nor keep him all day
in the saddle, looking after eatile.”
Teddy did lots of serious thinking
during the next few days. How he
wished he could help his papa in some
vay! And the opportunity came in a
way that Teddy least expected. One
day he walked over to where the men
had bored for the artesian well. He
peered .into it, but it was black as
night. He gathered a handful of long,
dry prairie-grass, rolled it in a small
piece of birch bark in which he had
cattle-
dropped it down the weil. Then he put
his face close to the edge and watched
it blaze as it fell down and down.
Suddenly a long red column of flame
leaped upward with a rushing noise.
Before Teddy had time to pull his head
away, the force of the explosion sen
him rolling over and over away from
the mouth of the well. The fiame shot
high up and blazed fiercely for a mo-
ment or two. Teddy was terribly
frightened. His eyes smarted, and he
could see a bright red flame dancing
before him him in whichever direction
he looked. With scorched hat and
singed hair, he ran home as fast as he
could, He told his papa what had
happened.. His papa went to the well,
and when be came back he said.
“Teddy, my boy, 1 think your acci-
dent is going to make our fortune.
Our weli has tapped a small vein of
natural gas, and I think if we go deep-
er we shall strike oil.”
So the well-diggers came out again
and resumed drilling. Before long they
came down to the oil. The oil came
rushing out faster than they could save
it. Teddy's papa sold the oil-well to
an oil company for a good price, and
with the money he bought a rinch in
another State where there was plenty
of pasture and water. and shipped his
cattle to the new ranch.
Teddy is learning ail he can about
managing a cattle ranch, because when
he is old enough his father is going to
take him for =» pariper.—F. Lockley,

MIRIAN'S INDIVIDUALITY.
Leng before Marian Gardner bad
finished her college course siie had de-
cided concerning ber future. She ex-
plained it all to her younger sister Su-
san.
»*Theicne
rift which every soul has
in trust for e world,” she sain “is
its own individuality. Therefore, the
great aim of life should be io preserve
and develop that individuality.: This
is something that parents are slow to
understand; they keep their daughters
at home regardless of the question
whether or not home is the best place
for them. I know very well that it
would not be for me. Something in
me would die in the round of every
day calls and commonplaces. I am
going to teach and study until I find
myself, and then I'm going to be my-
self.”

she would never do anything else.
It seemed as if the words were
prophetic. The years passed, and
while Marian had won a reputation,
Susan had never found the year when
she could go away to study

visits home, the sisters attended =a

Of all the absurd forms of locomo-
tion practiced by the creaiures of ihe
deep. the most prepgsterous is that of
the mussel. quids will startle you by
darting backwards, hustle oft
sideways at a lively gait; but nothing
save the duil brain of kind of

transportation problem in {hose remote
epochs when tine was no object, could
have evolved so siow and cumbersome
a method. You may oiten see mussels
climb up the piles of a whari toward
the high-water mark. Notice the black
crabs
sone
threads attached to the clam. They
do the business. The mussel shoots
out a spray of gelatinous stuff in the
direction he wants to go, and this
hardens into those black threads. He
lets go the old ones and climbs up by
the new. You can trace his progress
up the pile by .the bunches of old
threads which he leaves behind at ine
tervals. It has never been figured out
whether he could go a mile in less
than a year. but i. would be safe to
back the mussel in the animals’ “slew
race.’ —Country Life in America.
THE GOLDEN KLY.
One winter's day a boy named Jack
was sent to gather wood. By the time
Lie had gotten enough he was so cold
that he made a fire to warm himself.
While he was scraping away the snow
he found a little golden key.
“Ah.” sald: he, “where the key is
there should the lock be found.” He
went on scraping away till ie found
an jzow' chest... “Now,” he said, “if
only thie key fits the lock, I shall find
all sorts of precious things.”
He scarched till he found a lock =o
small, however, that one could scarce-
ly see it. He tried the key and it fitted
exactly. He turned it slowly, slowly,
and if only we wait till he opened the
lid, why then we shall know what was
in the chest.--Kathleen Hennessy, in

FINANGE AND TRADE REVIEW
MODERATE IMPROVEMENT.
Two Laker Controversies Still Help
te Disturb Business in
Many Ways.
R. G. Dun & Co.'s “Weekly Re-
view of Trade” says: Moderate im-
provement in mid-summer means
more than an equivalent increase at
any other season, and the better trade
reporied during the past week is con-
sequently most encouraging. Dis-
patches from all parts of the country
are by no means uniform, in some
cases the outlook showing no change,
while at a few points there have been
setbacks; but on the whole the
progress is unmistakable. Two labor
controversies are particularly harm-
ful, but others have been settled; the
Fall River strike is partially broken,
and several threatened difficulties
have been averted. "Despite some in-
jury to spring wheat the agricultural
prospect is -very bright, while higher
prices promise to neutralize the effect
cf such loss in quantity as occurred.
The approaching Presidential election
is viewed with more equanimity than
any other contest of r&cent years,
both in financial and industrial cir-
cles, Net earnings of the railways
are making favorable comparisons,
owing to the economies made possi-
ble by preceding years of liberal ex-
penditures, and even gross earnings
for July are but 3.4 per cent smaller
than in 1903. Foreign commerce at
this port for the last week shows a
gain of $1,575,587 in merchandise ex-
ported, and an increase of $1,275.293
in imports, as compared with the cor-
responding week last year.
Increasing activity at coke ovens
testifies to the better situation in the
iron and steel indus‘ries, the fuel
movement predicting an improvement
at blast furnaces. By holding pro-
duction down to actual requirements
it has been possible to maintain quo-
tations on practically all lines. The
only reductions during the past week
occurred in wire nails, and there was
complaint of list violations in connec-
tion with the steel conversion. Agri-
cultural implement works are prepar-
ing for a brisk fall tirade, the railways
are placing more orders {for equip-
ment, and a better tonnage of struc-
tural steel is moving.
Failures this week were 222 in the
United States, against 174 last year,
and 33 in Canada, compared with 22
a year ago.

Which Eye Is Stronger?
Here is a little test for vour eyes
that will soon show you which of them
is the stronger.
two inches in diameter on a level wit
your eyes and move back from it
about 10 feet. Then point to it and
take sight along the top of your point-
ing finger until the object and the
tip of your finger are exactly in a line
with the eye from which you are
sighting. Next open the other ¢ye
and see if the object seems to have
moved from the straight line. If it
has not moved to one side apparently,
the eye with which you first looked
is the stronger, as the addition of the
other's vision does not change the
focus. If the object seems ta have
moved it proves that the other eye is
the stronger, the difference being
measured by the distance that the
object appears to have moved.
Try sighting with both eyes open
first. Then look with first one eye
and then the other and see how far
out of line each makes the abject
appear. The one that is furthest out

of line is the weaker eve.
