Ono of tho most effective of modern projectiles is tho plirnpni'l. It Is ono of tbo forms of enso shot. The others wero tho old fashioned Rrnpo and cunistur. A enso Khot may be snid to bo p. collection of tniHfiiles in a case, which breaks up either in tho Rim or at some point iu flight, thus setting free its death deal ing particles. As soon as the enso is broken nch of these particles, goes on a separate path, and it's a sorry day for tbo nina struck by one of them. All of these falling upon a piece of level ground would mark out an irregular oval, whoso area Varies with differing conditions. It has been found that tho ty'st point to tmrst the shrapnel is aboue six yards above and 60 iu front of tho enemy. Colonel Shrapnel of tbo Rrittnh serv iow first invented shrapnel in 180:1. This early form consisted dimply of a spher ical shell filled with bullets and a burst ing churgo of powder in tho spaces be tween. This was a crude invention, which scattered the fragments too much and was liable to go off wbon not ex pected and not do so when desired. This form wuh improved upon during our civil wnr, and tho modern shrapnel can be considered the most dangerous of all lifo destroying projectiles. It con sists of thrpo parts the tnbo, thol.ise and tho head. The powder charge is in tho base, which is firmly attached to tho body cither by eli-ctrio welding or by screwing. Lending from tho bnse through tho center of the body is a tube which is also filled with powder, which is ignited by tbo fuse at tho point of tbe shrapnel nnd enrries tho fire tothomnin charge. Between 200 and 1)00 bullots rest upon a dinphrngm just over tho powdor charga These are hold in place by a matrix of rosin which is melted and poured upon tho bullet when in place. A skeleton case of cast iron con taining receptacles for encli Imllet is sometimes used instead of tho rosin. The bend is put on in tho same man ner as tho base, and when tho fuse is inserted tho prnjectilo is ready for use. Somo shrapnels have tho bursting chargo in tho head instead of tlio" base. The fuso used is rather complicated, but tho United States lias as good a ono as thero is. It is a timo two and lu actual test has shown its reliability. ; It can readily be seen that ono great objection to tho shrapnel is its high cost. Tho fuso alono costs about 2.50. Tho same gun is usually supplied with threo styles of ammunition tho solid shot, tho rdiell and tho shrapnel. Somo batteries (trn also supplied with canister for us.0 ut close (jniU'tera Tho bullots in the cmiister havo a wider dispersion, becauso tho enso breaks up in tho gun. Canister was used to repel tho famous chargo led by the Confederate general Piokett nt Gettysburg. A perfect hail of missiles swept tho slopo leading up to Comotery Hill, against whoso de structive effects human valor was of uo avail. Thoshtll is used to destroy inanimate, objects us well as animate, ones. It con- sluts of a hollow cast iron shell, with a fuso and bursting clinrgo of powder. The famous shot fired during tho cut ting of tho cables at Cieufucgos is a Rood exnmplo of its uso. The Spaniards having tuken refuge in and behind a lighthouse, a shell was fired by one of our ships, which, striking it fairly, burst and utterly destroyed the struc ture, killing many of tho soldiers. Bnt against men iu battlo formation the shrapnel is tho more effective It sends a porfuct shower of missiles which, falling in the midst of a company, would almost annihilate it. Many tests have been made to show this. Shrapuols fired from a gun a mile . away in one instance and a mile and . two-thirds in tho other wore made to strike a board targot one inoh thick. The fuses were set off by the contact and burst tho projectilo into 800 or 800 ports, each of which was capable of dealing death to any living thing in its path. Screens were placed at indicated distances behind the target These may be considered as representing a battalion of infantry in column of companies. From the number of hits upon all of them the efficiency of shrapnel fire nguinst close order formation may be judged. In one shot 153 hits were made by a aiugle shrapnel. In another 215 hits are vecordod, but those are not so well scat tered. Imagine, thon, the effect of a . well placed shrapnel upon a group of men such as is bore represented. The reader can readily understand why wars are now wagod at greater distances and why baud to band con flicts are almost unheard of. New York Herald. BU MlnUte.

"Talking about cows," said Andy Henderson, "I really think that 1 hail ono of tlxs most peculiar experiences with tho animals in question that ever befell a citizen of west Texas. It Was soon after I went to El l'nso, sane ton years ago, nd before I had got familiar with the vagaries of tho El Paso cli mate. "I bad settled on a very pretty ranch some miles out of the progressive fron tier city nnd was doing nicely until I decided to go Into tho butter business. I sent cast tor n dozen lino Jersey cows and began operations. Well, tho cows came on, inxi I bustled tho butter busi ness from the jump. Things progressed nicely for n month, when the weather grew very warm and tho atmosphere very dry The Kio Crnndo dwindled until n roach could havo waded across. Every bit of moisturo disappeared, but this did not affect me, becauso I had a fine, artesian well on the ranch and plenty of water. I observed, however, that my cows wero losing mlllc day by day, until at last they were perfectly dry. 1 was astounded, for they had plenty of feed nnd lots of water from tho well. I couldn't understand it and determined to investigate. "I Rot up an hour before daylight and exnmined the cows, und, to my aston ishment, 1 found the adders of the cows heavy with milk. I did not milk the tho animals, bnt simply watched and waited developments. Day dawned and tho cows lo'tily meandered into the pas ture, and I followed. The sun came up, and with tho sun came tbe terrible dry ness, hut it didn't fcazo ma in the least What knocked me out was tho sight of my cows' udders. They wore growing smaller and smaller us I looked until they wero as flaccid as a punctured tiro. Then I tumbled. The dryness of the at mosphere simply evaporated the milk through tho walls of tho udder. "What did I do? Why, I varnished the milking apparatus of tho beasts nnd the milk couldn't ooze through tbo flesh. That stopped it "Now Orleans Times Democrat. A SENSE OF HUMOR.
