A
HANDLING A MODERN WAR RIFLE.
Something No Fellow Can Do Until He Has
Had .[nstr notions and. I’raotice.
The “magazine rifle,
familiarly called the K-rag-Jorgensen,
is the army equipment of the infantry
of the United States army. It has :1
range of .about three miles and an
accuracy never before attained in
small arms that is, when in the
hands of a man trained to its use, for
at the same distnce a pr0pe113 in-
structed soldier will pick off a 1111111
and the untrained one “miss a barn."
When one of these rifles is put in
the hands of a new man the theory of
its care and use is explained to him
by a n0n~co111missioned oiliccr, and be

in piloting. He is ready to say “801-

heavy that my legs would not be able
to support it. I would have to go 011

him and let him overlook every time
you tilt a latch or turn a lever. Little
by little you will learn it all, but 11
you are not careful you will have
your piece unserviceable before you
are aware of it.”
Then comes the training in the gal

piece, the pull on the trigger, the
proper time and degree of expansion

“I 011111 Not be Hangman.
When the c'ourt-maitial that Don‘
Alessandro 0‘ Reilly, the s cond Span-'
1311 Governor of Louisiana in 1769 had
organized to convict, brought in a ver-
Ilict of death against Lafreniere and
sixof his companions asthe leaders of
the Louisana revolutionisls against
the authority of Spain, to which coun-
try Louis XV. of France had ceded
the colony, O’Reilly sought in vain
among whites and blacks in Louisiana
for a man who would perform the ab-
horrent work 0f serving as hangman
at the execution of the patriots. Not
asman of the colony would answer the
call. I11 this emergency O’Reilly was
compelled to assign the congenial. task
of slaughtering the helpless Creoles
to regular Spanish
soldiers whom he had brought with
him from Spain, and, instead of being
hanged, Lefreniere and the others
were shot to death by a platoon of
grenadiers in a space of ground near
the site of the present United States
mint, in New Orleans, which at that
time was in the rear of the military
garrison of the post. The failure of
O’Reilly to secure a hangman in the
case of these unfortunate men reca-ll-
ed to old French residents of New
Orleans of that day the interesting
story of Jeannot, an African slave of
the Mississippi company, or company
of the West, which 50 years previously
had control of the colony of Loui'sana,

of Orleans. The company offered J can-

A Natural Fog Horn.
At the Farallenes the erosive agents
have worked with queer caprice. This
rock, being granite, has been acted
upon by the sea at all levels and
throughout the long period when it,
has been rising out of the water
depths. Through a long, narrow hole,
slanting and communicating with the
ocean, there comes at Intervals a ter-
rific stream of air, forced by the spas-
modic heaving of the waves against,
the lower orafice. The goverment.
which uses this island for lighthouse
purposes, enclosed the upper end with
the nozzle of a fog horn, and every
few seconds there was blown an ear~'
splitting brawl, which was heard far
out to sea and above the din of the
breaking rollers. It was allowed to
roar only in foggy weather, but it
was eccentric 1n thatit would only
sound at high tide. When the tide
was low, although the weather might
be thick, the thing we; silent. For
lack of its warning, a ship went
ashore upon the island rocks, and.
then it was that the government aban-
doned its location on the wind hole
and erected a steam siren, o'r mechan-
ical fog horn, which has since very
faithfully performed the necessary
services—Harper’s Magazine.

This is the tale, as it is told by a
country to Re gang's 0f men at 310111. Cleveland woman:
during the growing season cutting
down the grass and weeds beside the
railroad tracks, rakim. 0 these up and
destroying them.

lovel3~ heiress, Miss Rhoades. was des-
tined to marry a man of wealth pos-
sibl3 a. title, for nothing was too good
011 some of the Western railroads a for 1101-
method of recent device is
which is much more economical for
this purpose and thoroughly effective.
Fire and machinery do the wor
which men are employed for else-!
where. A crude petroleum oil, which
costs 1 38 cents a gallon, is the
material used.
A box car is fitted up with a small
mining engine, which drives it along:
by means of a sprocket chain run-
ning to one of the axles, which gives
it all the speed that is needed. An
upright boiler supplies the steam, and
within the car, besides the boiler and
engine, are tanks of Oil: From the
rear end of the car projects the burn
ers, arranged in a series of eight, all
under a metal shield to confine the
heat. The shield is ten feet square,
and on the Western roads is used only
to destroy the growth of vegetation
along the track and for a few feet on
each side. A blast of air supplied by
an. air pump makes the flames from
the burners long and intense.
The car moves along the track at
the rate of about a mile an hour. The
first time it goes over the weeds are
killed, and the next time, after the
weeds have had a few day-s to dry in,
It sets fire to them and destroyes them
completely with all their seeds. In-
sects or grabs, which the weeds har-
bor, are also destroyed by the flames.
The cost of the oil for this work and
the wages of the three men employed
on the car is only about $1.08 a mile
of single track.
I Another petroleum oil is entering
largely into the new field of useful-
ness on railroads as a means for per-
Imanently laying the annoying dust
I which the commotion of passing trains
raises from every sort of railroad bed.
‘ The first experiment to use oil to hold
down this dust was tried two years
I ago on the W'est Jersey Railroad in
New Jersey. It proved so successful
that a company was formed for ex-,
tending’the work, and during the past"
’summer hundreds of miles of tracks
_on Long Island, in New Jersey and
'some of the Eastern States were so
treated. The oil used is a cheap.
heavy product distilled for the pur—
pose, and it is sprinkled over the
tracks and the roadbed on each side
I by a sprinkling car made for the pm"
pose. It takes about 2,000 gallons of
oil to the mile of track for the first
sprinkling. and after that a slighter
isprinkling once a year or so is said
;l.0 -be_ all that 'is necessary. The oil
idoes not evaporate, and not only
holds the dust down, but is said to
Ilielp the life of the ties by making
them 33'agrp1'oof.

Miss Dix. Gained the Interest of the Chair'-

In her early attempts to right the
Wrongs of the insane, Dorothy Dix
"met only discouragement and coldness,

she did not cease to labor, and if she
lost heart no one but herself
knew it. She asked for an interview

olina Legislature. 'He declined the
interview under the pretext of pres-
sure of business.
“Very well,” wrote Miss Dix, “I
must see you. You will call on me or
I shall call on you.”
The chairman then went to see. Miss
Dix. He entered the room, hat in
hand. a bundle of papers under his
arm, and declined the proffered chair.
“I have called,” he said. “I am. in
haste. lVill you make your business
known as quick as possible?"
The lady began to speak. Eloquent-
ly sh-e pleaded the cause of the in-
sane. She spoke from a full heart
and a well stored mind. Her listener
became interested; he forgot that he
was in a hurry, sat down, piled his
papers on the floor and heard with
rapt attention. The interview lasted
three hours. and the chairman was
won over the cause, and he was

A Land ‘Without “'Omen.
There is only one territory of any
size—and never has been. but one——
occupied by any considerable popula-
tion from which woman is absolutely
excluded. Yet such a place exists
to-day and has existed for centuries.
As far back as history reaches, to all
females it has been forbidden ground.
This country without Women is situ-
ated 011 a bold plateau, between the
01d peninsula of Acte, in the Grecian
archipelago, and the mainland. Here
in the midst of cultivated fields and
extensive woodlands dwells a monas-
tic confederation of Greek Christians.
with twenty-three convenits, and num-
bering more than 7,000 souls. Not one
of the monasteries dates from a
later time than the twelfth century.
A few soldiers guard the borders of
the main land, and no woman is al—
lowed to cross the frontier. Nor is
this all, the rule is extended to every
female creature, and from time im-
m-emorial no cow, mare, hen, duck or
goose has been permitted to enter
this territory.—Chicago Record.
