If Colonel William N. Bell's new
project! la performs what its inventor
;laims, namely that it can be dis
abarged from a smooth-bore gun with
as great a velocity aa any projectile now
discharged from rifled cannon, it will
revolutionise gunnery. Colonel Bell
not only claim this for it, bat claims
also that it will neither wabble nor
tumble in the course of its flight This
projectile, says the Se-w York Herald,
seems to be the cheapest surest and
most accurate by far of all yet invented,
and is fired more easily and more accu
rately and with far greater economy of
power and cost from the old-fashioned
3,000 smoothbore of the sixties than
from the magnificently expensive rifled
wonder of today. What this will mean
in case the government teats soon to be
undertaken prove the accuracy of the
original teats may be gathered from the
fact that $3,000,000 worth of the old
imoothbores of Rebellion time is lying
loom around the United States so
much old iron and nothing more. It
will be a wonderful saving if these can
yet be utilised.

, - ; A Wow Flying Mneklno. .. '
A new flying machine, similar in
principle to that of Lilienthal, has been
devised by Herr Arthur Stensel 01 Ai
tons, Germany, says the Popular Sci
ence Monthly. It has parabolic wings
in imitntlnn rf htrA'n win cm. ia driven
by the power of compressed carbonic !
arid, and has been made to "go" when
attached for safety to a guiding cable.
With a force of one horse-power it
has advanced three meters at each beat
ing of the wings, of which there are
one and three-tenths per second. With
a horse-power and a half the machine
may be made to fly free from the cable.
The wings are remarkably elastic, and
the inventor thinks that this ia one of
the factors of his success. They are
made of unsoldered steel tubes and
bamboo, and are covered with a spe
cially prepared india-rubber cloth. The
apparatus is directed by a rudder which
is not unlike a bird's tail. As yet no
passengers have been carried on the ma
chine. CHILDREN TEETHING

The seventh triennial meeting of this
body will be held in St Petersburg this
year. The previous session hsve been:
Philadelphia (inaugural), 1876; Paris
(first congress), 1878; Boulogne. 1881;
Berlin, 1885; London, 1888; Washing
ton, 1891; Geneva, 1894. In each
country special endeavors have been
made to make the reunion as interest
ing and as agreeable as possible, extend
ing to visiting members every wonity
for studying the prominent physical
and geological features of the country
tbey were visiting. '
The actual congress is to take place
at the Imperial Academy of bcienoes,
St Petersburg, . from August 99th to
September 4th August 17th to 23d,
O. a The questions to be discussed
hsve not yet been decided npon, but
whatever they may be, a room will be
set aside for an exhibition of geological
maps, profiles, books, collections, in-
stuments, etc, and arrangements hsve
been made so that all objects intended
for this exhibition and addressed !

will be delivered at St Petersburg
without being submitted to any cus

in the presence of a delegate or tne or

such instructions have been given to
the Russian representatives in foreign
countries, that on presentation of the
card of membership the vise of pass
ports will be facilitated, and moreover,
the asms card shown at a Kuasian port
or frontier will render the customs in
spection as easy as possible. Then,
again, all geologists who have paid their
subcription will obtain a non-transferable
ticket, giving them the right to
travel first-class on the Russian and
Finland railway free of cost The ex
cursion arranged, both to precede and
succeed the meeting, include a visit
to the Ourals, or to Esthonia, or to
Finland, before the meeting, and to the
Caucasus and Crimea after the meeting.
, Effect mt the Kay Air.
At a recent meeting of the Royal So
ciety of Edinburgh, Lord Kelvin read a
communication on rue rarciriucauun
of Air by Roentgen Rays,' the out
come, he said, of some experiments
which had occupied his attention for
some months. The primary object of
these investigations, ; of theoretical
value on ly, was to ascertain the action of
Roentgen rays npon electrified air; that
is, to see whether the rays had any
electrifying effect on the air. In every
case the experiments showed that air
which bad not been p-eviously electri
fied was negatively electrified, and air
that was positively electrified having
been submitted to the action of X-rays
was found to be either not electrified at
sll or slightly negatively electrified.
Thus it will be seen that X-rays have a
decided electrifying action, positively
electrified air losing its positive charge,
and sometimes acquiring instead a neg
ative charge. '

work should be done before the weeds

Directing Hired Help.
. laborers earn more when they are
kept at one kind of business through
out the day. If tbey are directed or
permitted to go from field to field, or
from one kind of business to another,
they will not always give a good ac
count of their day's work. It Is a good
practice to let our work by the Job
when it can be done. Then the man
feela that he Is at work for himself
and, of course, be will do more work
thsn he would for another man.
Ditching, wood cutting and other
business may be Jobbed out And this
when the employer Is not at borne to
direct the work. But the business of
plowing, harrowing and tilling among
the corn and potatoes should be done
In the presence of the owner. When
the ground baa been well prepared, and
no weeds interfere, a good man, who la
used to handling a hoe, will dress an
acre In a day.
It Is fortunate that men of large cap
ital cannot Invest In farms, and realize
as much as In bank and railroad stocks.
If they could they would soon own
most of the farms In the country. And
farmers would become tenants, In

estimate ol the prospective lld o
winter and spring wheat, placing It at
615,000,000 bushels, somewhat lower
than th former estimates from other

weather that has prevailed in the
Northwest for the pant two weeks,
