The material was sup: plied by an American corporation. A 6 inch solid shot was fired through ‘the dam, striking it. about 20 inches from the bottom. The shot passed clear through both thé iron walls and the cellulose packing. Less than half a pound of cellulose was carried out by the projectile. The water compartment of nearly five feet of water on the perforated surface. In just half an houra moist spot began to show on the onter surface of the dam, but it was evident the moisture had come along the bottom of the packing and not along the path of the shot. In four hours no water had come through the shot’s path. “The experiment conclusively demonstrated that a ship provided with a cofferdam packed as was the one used in the experiment could be perforated five feet below the water line without the least danger of the entrance of water.”’ In the Museum. ‘“‘How many dollars a week does the fat lady get?’ inquired the tattooed man. “H’m!"’ sniffed the snake charmer. “*She’s English, you know, and «gets paid by the pound.”’ “Is that so?’’ put in the living skeleton. ‘* thank goodness, I’m not English.

He calls in Makar, the: piano tuner and subbutler, and reminds him of all his recent sins. He was drunk last week and must have been drunk yesterday, for he broke half a dozen plates. In fact, the breaking of these plates was the real cause of all the disturbance. fStepmother had reported the fact to fa-ther in the morning, and that was why Uliana was received with more. scolding than was usually the case, why the verification of the hay was undertaken and why father continued to shouf that ‘this progeny of Ham’’ deserved all the punishments’ on earth. All of a sudden there is a lull in the storm. My father has taken his seat at the table and writes a note to the police station. ‘‘Take Makar with this note’ to the police station, and let 100 lashes with the birch rod be given to him.’’ Terror and absolute muteness reign in the house. The clock strikes 4, and we all go down to dinner, but no‘one has any appetite, and the soup remains in the plates untouched. We are ten at table, and behind each one of us a violinist or a trombone player stands, with a clean plate in his left hand, but Makar is not among them. ‘ ‘*Where is Makar?’’ stepmother asks. “Call him in.’ il Makar does not appear, and the order is repeated. He//enters at last, pale, with a distortedjface, ashamed, his eyes cast down. Fagher looks into his plate, while stepmother, seeing that no one’ us. ‘‘Don’t you find, children,’’ she cays “that the soup is delicious?”’ . after dinner is over I run out, catch Makar in a dark passage and try to kiss his hand, but he tears it away and says, either as a reproach or as a question, ‘‘Let me alone. And you, too, when you are grown up, will be just the same?’’ “No, no; never!’’ Yet father was not of the worst of landowners. On the contrary, the servants aud the peasants considered him to be one of the best. What we saw in our house was going on everywhere, eften in much-amoro ernel forms. The flogging of the serfs-was a regular part of the daties of the police, > SIOD Cougning as 2 ae 5 ie deen ee Every cough makes your throat more raw and irritable.

When the late Professor Henry Drummoud was giving a course of lectures on ‘*Evolation’’ in the Lowell institute, he overheard two women, evidently much opposed to his views, discussing them. One of them said, ‘‘Mary, if what be says is not true, we can stand it, but if it is true we must hush it up.” BORN. ter. of the dam was filled, giving a pressure.

He calls in Makar, the: piano tuner and subbutler, and reminds him of all his recent sins. He was drunk last week and must have been drunk yesterday, for he broke half a dozen plates. In fact, the breaking of these plates was the real cause of all the disturbance. fStepmother had reported the fact to fa-ther in the morning, and that was why Uliana was received with more. scolding than was usually the case, why the verification of the hay was undertaken and why father continued to shouf that ‘this progeny of Ham’’ deserved all the punishments’ on earth. All of a sudden there is a lull in the storm. My father has taken his seat at the table and writes a note to the police station. ‘‘Take Makar with this note’ to the police station, and let 100 lashes with the birch rod be given to him.’’ Terror and absolute muteness reign in the house. The clock strikes 4, and we all go down to dinner, but no‘one has any appetite, and the soup remains in the plates untouched. We are ten at table, and behind each one of us a violinist or a trombone player stands, with a clean plate in his left hand, but Makar is not among them. ‘ ‘*Where is Makar?’’ stepmother asks. “Call him in.’ il Makar does not appear, and the order is repeated. He//enters at last, pale, with a distortedjface, ashamed, his eyes cast down. Fagher looks into his plate, while stepmother, seeing that no one’ us. ‘‘Don’t you find, children,’’ she cays “that the soup is delicious?”’ . after dinner is over I run out, catch Makar in a dark passage and try to kiss his hand, but he tears it away and says, either as a reproach or as a question, ‘‘Let me alone. And you, too, when you are grown up, will be just the same?’’ “No, no; never!’’ Yet father was not of the worst of landowners. On the contrary, the servants aud the peasants considered him to be one of the best. What we saw in our house was going on everywhere, eften in much-amoro ernel forms. The flogging of the serfs-was a regular part of the daties of the police, > SIOD Cougning as 2 ae 5 ie deen ee Every cough makes your throat more raw and irritable.
