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

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

A SENSE OF HUMOR.
It Is a Prclo ttlft anil Helps to Light

I regard a sen so of humor as ono oi
tho most precious gifts that can bo
vouchsafed to a human being. He is not
necessarily a bettor man for having it,
but ho is a happier ono. It renders him
indifferent to good or bad fortune. It
enables him to enjoy his own discomfi
ture. Blessed with this sense ho is never
unduly elated or cast down. No ono
can rufllo his temper. No abuse disturbs
his equanimity. Bores do uot bore him
Humbugs do not humbug him. Solemn
airs do uot imposo ou him. Sentimeutul
gush does uot influence him. The fullipn
of the moment have no hold ou him.
Titles and decorations are hut childish
baubles iu his eyes. Prejudice does uot
warp bis judgment. He is never in con
coit or out of conceit with himself. lie
abhors all dogmatism. The world is n
stage ou which actors strut aud fret tor

The New South Wales government
analyst, William M. Hamlet, delivered
the presidential address in tho sect iou
of chemistry at tho -recent meeting of
tbe Australian Association For tho Ad
vancement of Science, tho subject being
"Tlio Molecular Mechanism of uu Elec
trolyte." Ho defined an electrolyte ns a body iu
solution or state of fusion, capable of
being lustanteously decomposed by a
current of electricity, and ho claimed
that if tho explanation he offered was
adequate for tho clcctrolyto it must
hold good for the constitution of tho
matter in tho universe, so that the
treatiso on tho electrolyte has a most
important scientific beuriug. Tho meth
od of investigating the actlou of one
body upon any other, he reminded his
audience, was brought to a high degree
of accuracy by tho immortal work of
Sir Isaao Newton. He alluded to somo
