Hie process requires the Illumination oi the bullet by letting it break an electric current. The photographs obtained showed an air formation in front of the bullet having the form of a. hyperbole, while behind it almost a vacuum was formed, in which, when the initial velocity was very great, there was some curious spiral motions. From the description given, there appeared from these phat graphs to be a great simil- uity between the motion of a body through the water and that oi a projectile through the air.

A Woman Battles With Wild Cats. On a fan] ten miles west of Maudan, Dak., lives Charles Casperdone with his family, consisting of his wife and two little boys. On Saturday Casperdone went to Mandan to sell stock and remained there visiting friends. On Sunday night the chicken roost was visit- ed by Wild cats. When Mrs. Cesperdone heard the noise she jumped ontof bed, grasp- ed an axe, and sallied forth. Rushing in at the door of the hennery she encountered a. wild cat, which sprang at her, catching one of its claws in her left arm and lacerating It terribly. Pushing it away, she struck it a blow which rendereditunconscions. Another of the cats sprang at her, seizing the calf of he! 192 and cutting it severely with its teeth. Mrs. Casperdone aimed a blom at the beast, which missed, but the animal became fright- ened and ran into the woods. A third cat which had beenicrouching in a corner, then ‘3ng “P011 the little woman, getting its teeth entangled in her clothing, and tearing it almost from her body. She succeeded in pushing the infuriated animal from her, she as it sprang at her throat a. second time, and dealt it a blow which killed it. Mrs. Ces- perdone was so overcome that she fell in a faint. and was found there by a neighbour, who had been summoned by one of the boys. _She will recover unless blood poisoning sets . The phenomenon was indeed a grand and imposing sight, never to be forgotten by those whose good fortune it was to witness in under circumstances as favorable as were those of AN UNSCIENTIPIC OBSERVER. Gowns, Idaho, Jun. 2. To the north the hills still dimly reflected the sun rays, and the Tetons in the east were still without the great shadow which, however, appended to be at; their very feet. Only a minute and a few seconds were given the observer in which to witness this grand panorama, whenâ€"as suddenly as the black body of the moon had hidden the sun from viewâ€"there shot out from the north- western point of the moon’s disc, a piercing my of light, much as a strong, unshaded elec~ tric liqnc shoots Its rays after momentary depression (if one can in any degree compare so glorious a celestial scene with anything terrestrial), and the totalitv of the eclipse was ENDED AT OUR POINT OF VIEW. Gradually the sombre twilight brightened under the increasing rays oi the sunâ€"one by one the stars disappeared, Venus being the last. The great shadow passed away to the east, bathing the lofty Tetons in the blackness of night in its passage. We breathed again without involuntary excla» mations on our lips, and in all too short; a space of time the extreme western point of the moon’s surface passed eastWard beyond our vision. The sun shone out again, seem- ingly With renewed eflulgence, as if in ap- ology for the untimely obscurity he had im- posed on us. THE DARK BODY or THE MOON. in varying lengths towsrds all points of the compass, but seemed to extend farthest to- wards the east and west. Venus sparkled brightly in her accustomed place to the east of the sun, while a. dozen lesser lights sent their twmkling rays towards the earth. But, oh! the awful grandeur of the huge black shadow l now extending from a point below the horizon on the south, far beyond the zenith to the northâ€"hanging over I like an immense canopy, and inspiring every beholder with the deepest feeling 0! awe I I have only time to give one cursory glance to these scenes and notice that every little snow mound upon the ground at my feet had thrown out: an elongated steel grey shadow towards the north, when, suddenly â€"almost ntartlinglyâ€"there hung upon the sun's surface, completely hiding its whole disc, the great black orb of the moon, and my companions and self were shut in by a gruejome twilight, whose peculiarly inde- scribable appearance I may never hope to behold again. No need tor our smoked glasses now. The deep, rose-colored, irre- gularly corrugated corona. surrounding the moon (apparently of deeper shade and greater width towards the north) was bet- ter observed with the naked eye, and in no wise affected the eight. The scintilating rays of the sun protruded from behind On the so'uthern boatizon there rested the blackness of a. moonless right, in which the mountain cones were lost to view. To the north the hills still basked iu the sun’s rays, while the grotesque Tetons, far to the east, reflected his light, as yet; un- contaminated by the awful shado w which was so _aurely hemming us in from the west. INTO A PERFECT CRESENT. Anxiously, through bits of smoked glass, the dark orb of the moon, on she progressed in her steady course, was watched by the greoter portion of the townspeople. Looking to the west Where the stately range of rugged peaks, capped with snow, had but a few moments before reflected the bright rays of the winter's sunâ€"we now beheld a huge blue-black cloudâ€"no, a. shad- ow, sombre and awesome, slowly moving to the east, envuloping the mountain range in an unbroken night, which converted the pure whiteness of the snow into a tinge of steel grey, wierd and unnatural of aspect._ Au one 6’clock and 44 minutes (locsl time) the first: appearance of the moon’s orb upon the sun’s disc was observed slowly creeping eastward from a. point a little south of west: and gradually converting che face of the sun north to some low bills 20 or 25 miles dia~ taut : on the east to the wonderfully pic. tnrcsque Teton Mountains (the western boundary of the Yellowstone National Park) name 80 miles, and on the south to a point beyond the reach of human vision, except where two or threeisolated cones raise their crests above the horizon. At this point~ fifteen miles north of the centre line of tota- lity of yesterday a solar eclipseâ€"I was for- tunate enough to be under an absolutely clear sky in a. perfectly pure atmosphere seldom equslled even in this region of clear skies and pure atmospheres. Seldom indeedâ€"certainly not once in the average duration of a human lifeâ€"is it given a. men to witness the marvellous celestial phenomenon observed by the good people of this little hamlet on the 13?; of January.

Aetrange story, “not unlike a whale," has crept into circulation about some ter- rible explosive, “ over so much ” more des- tructive than melinite or sobrorite, which two Americans have sold to the French Gov- ernment for the comfortable sum of $2,000,- 000. The purchasers, strange to say, would not grant a safe-conduct to their purchase, instigated. so the story goes, by the preda- tory desire of confiscating it at the port of entry, and voiding the purchase money by having the atufianalysed. But this feloni- ous design was happily frustrated by the de‘ votion of two plucky American women, who smuggled the samples of the " terror ” into the country in the shape of candy, covered with chocolate and neatly, packed in boxes. It was safely taken to Paris and handed over to the inventors Who were in company at the time with a. lady not in the secret.

A. Hammond said: “It is well for us to know that the emotions cause more unhappiness and crime than any other function of the brain. Human beings are governed by their emotions, and it is well that they should be. though it is emotions that wear away the brain. It is the emotions such as anxiety, fear, sorrow, and love. 1 consider that eight hours are suflicient for a man to use his brain, because it he exceeds that time he becomes nervous and fretful, and an ex- hausted brain is an irritable brain. You may not feel the evil efi'ects of the stress of brain work at the time, when it will be too late. The men that work at night with their brains are the ones that expose themselves to danger and death, which will surely come unless the great strain on the mind is lightened. Any man that neg- lects the first warning of a brain or ner- vous system that is becoming exhausted, overtaxed, or about to break down, is not only a fool but a criminal. These signs are not many, but they tell the story of coming dangers only too plainly. Headache, sleep lessness, irritability of temper, neuralgic pains about the head and heart, unrestiu} sleep, nervous dyspepsia, dullieyes, heaviness of the head and stupid feelings after meal-J, worry about triflea, unreasonable anger, tingling and numbness in the limbs, cold feet and hands, flushed face and burning ears, palpitation of the heart, and irregular, weak and unsteady pulse. When you note these symptoms, beware! The brain and nerves are about to break down, and it may mean insanity, perhaps death.”â€"[The Home Gnardain. The Uses and Abuses of the Brain.
