' A German‘ officer has invented an wetylene searchlight which can be riezl by one man, and which will lluminate everything wnthin a dis. fiance of 100 yams. It is expected to be of great use in searching for ‘the Wounded after a battle, and in bridge buildlugrat nigh-t. . In China hem; are employed to hatch fish eggs. These are sealed in an eggâ€" hell and placed under the unsuspect- n‘g hen fbr a few days“ The conâ€" ents of the Shel} are then. emptied inâ€" a shallow pool, where they can bask In the sunshine until the minnows are strong enough to be turned into alake or river. Velvril Is Said to Be Superior to the Natural Product In Some Ikcspecls. Vel'vril is the name by which a new substitute for rubber and guttapercha is to be known. It is to be used barge- ly for deep sea cable insulation, to take the place of rubber, The desira- bility of such a substitute being found is see/111' in :the fact that one cable re- cently laid required over 500 tons of rubber, or one~fiith the annual output, for its insulation. The new insulator is a mixture of nitrated linseed or casâ€" tor oil with nitro cellulose. This gives a' homogeneous mass, the elastic and other properties of which can be modi- fied by changes in the proportions of the constituents. A good imitation of Para rubber is secured by mixing two pints of nitrated oil with one pint of nitrocellulose. Castor oil yields better results than linseed oil. The. elasticity of the product is 25 per cent. l It is said to be more durable than rub- lber, and it can be molded under heat and pressure, or worked by dissolving in any suitable solvent, and then evaâ€" porating the solvent. Velvril is claimed to be superior to vulcanized rubber, in that it is without action on copper. It appears to possess many advantages, 'but satisfactory informa- tion as to its host of production is not yet forthcoming. The purposes for which it is expected to be special- ly adapted are machine belting, the manufacture of portmanteaus, camp‘- ing-out sheets, loin cloths for horses, balloon materials, hose and tubing, carding wire foundations for spinning rollers, floor coverings, paints, enam- eled leather and fishing lines. It is nonâ€"explosive, and not more inflamâ€" mable than other kindred organic pro- ducts. The mules which accompany a batâ€" talion are supposed to :get within 500 yards of the men; in action, and the carts to within 1.000 yards. The man who actually bring up the cartridges to their comrades of the fighting line are salected from each company for their strength and agll- ity. This duty of bringing up supâ€" plies of ammunition during the enâ€" gagement is a very arduous one, and only the most physically fit are able to attempt it. IWhlenever a soldier falls or is wounded he is immediately stripped at his ammunition, and it is at once distributed among the men who are still capable of carrying on the fight. The reserve ammunition for each bat- talion iscarried in four carts and on the backs of two :pack mules. When an action appears imminent, a tem- porary reserve, called a “brigade re~ serve,” is formed. This consists of two carts taken from each of the four battalions composing the brigade. Thus special reserve is placed under an ott- f-icer selected for the occasion. In the event of any of the battalions becom- ing detached from the brigade, they receive their own carts back. again. AMMUNITION PACK. .‘ In addition to the above, there is always with the regular ammunition column seventyâ€"seven rounds for each man, and a further supply is carried in the "ammunition pack” of fifty-five rounds per man. Aooordi‘rnglythe total amount carried in the field for each imfantry soldier works out at 300 rounds. . I \Vhen our soldiers are attacking a Boar position their operations require that each man sham have a large sup»- piy of ammunition. This must all be carried forward as the fight pro- gresses. The Boer entrenched upon a hill-top may have the largest nup- piy of his ammunition by him side, and he is not weighed down‘ by it. as our soldiers are when storming the posiâ€" tion, WHAT HE CARRIES. During a proLracted fight the Bri- tish soldier is, in most instances, oom- pelled to fire away all the ammunition which he is personally able to carry. An ordinary private carries 100 rounds. Just before an action, when heavy firing is expected, this 100 rounds is supplemented by fifty more from the battalion reserve of seventy-seven rounds per man. Thus each private advances into battle carrying no less than 150 possible dealers of death- Powder Monkey on the Battlefieldâ€" flow the Annnunnlon Is Supplied. If it were not: thatf there is a very excellent and elaborate system of supplying soldiers with ammunition during the course of afight it woulr'r beaimosot hopeless to attack any pun} tion. Modern cartridges are very heavy things to carry. The long bulâ€" let, the heavy brass work; of the case, and the. weight of the wade and pow- der, all combine to produce; an article which, though it is of small compass, is very weighty. ACETYLENE SEARCHLIGHT A SUBSTITUTE FOP. RUBBER. HENS HATICH THE EGGS SERVING HIM WITH SHOT.) One of the most remarkable freaks of nature occurs in .Mexico. It is a river that is not a river. . The bed of it lies in a valley between; the Rio Grande, and Pecos Rivers. It is not a dead or dried-up stream. It is simply lost. Numerous bilg tributaries flow into it from the neighboring moun- tains. Immediately, however, they reach the bed of the main stream they disappear from sight. Thus, for some reason or another, a river which should be 300 miles in‘ length has no existence which could be proved. France losses every year by infec- tious and contagious diseases 240,000 lives, or nearly double in number of lives lost’ in the Franco-Prussian War of 1870.

According to the recent studies of Signor De Sanctis of Turin, children begin to iream before their fourth year, but are unable to recall dreams before the age of four or five. This age. he concludes, is that at which a. child first becomes distinctly consci- ous of self. Aged people dream less frequently and less vividly than the young. Women's dreams are more frequent, more vivid and better re- membered than those of men‘ Crim- inals and delinquents dream‘ much less frequently and much less vividlyf than other people. ‘Two-thirds of the most depraved criminals examined by Signor De Sanctis were never conscious of mental activity. "I have long been troubled with severe pains in my back, and I always thought that the cause was from my constant! work on the) 'bench‘ I found out my kidneys were affected and once Iwas certain of that I resorted to Dodd’s Kidney Pills. I am happy to say; three boxes left me clear of Back- ache, I can highly recommend them to any person afflicted with that form of! Kidney Disease." ‘ The whirâ€"r-r of the alarm élock is an eye-opener. Poverty ’may be a blessing, but only when it clings to our enemies.

He bare with} it for years, thinking it in- separable from his Work. Finally, how- ever, he found his mistake. He writes ;â€" - Tweed, Nov. 27. There is a shoemakâ€" er in this town who is one among the thousands who have been cured of Backache by Dodd‘s Kidney Pills. The shoemaker’s work sitting bent over the bench or last all day is naturally a strain on the back, but that of itself is never the cause of the real Back- ache. Barkache of the genuinely pain- ful and distressing kind is caused by disorder of the kidneys. In fact the ache or pain is situated directly in the kidneys as the sufferer will find if he tries to rub the pain away with lini- ments, as he would were it a mere stiffness of the muscles.
