Military authorities and big game hunters are much interested in a new rifle sighting system that s designed to eliminate the necessity for esti- mating distances and adjusting sights In long range shooting. Qf the negative angle system, as the Invention is called, Sir George Green- hill, a noted English ballistical ex- pert, said in a recent lecture: “The new system proves that since the ori- gin of firearms our method of sighting |n active service rifle firing has been wrong. The invention is likely to bring about a revolution in the art of shooting.” In brief, the system utilizes the well known fact that the apparent size of an object decreases as the distance in- creases. The user of the negative engle sight is instructed to sight at a point the height of the object under Jt. If the arm were the army rifle and the target a man, the point of aiming would be about five feet six inches be- low the man’s feet. With the regula- tion ammunition as furnished for the army rifle, the negative angle system will insure hits on the man target at all ranges from 100 to 825 yards, which is an increase of about 800 | yards over the range of the present | battle sight. At first it would appear that some | trouble might be met in sighting. However, no difficulty whatever is found in aiming at a point five feet 5ix inches below a man'’s feet, partic- the spot to afford a gauge, very much like a foot rule photographed with an- pther object to Indicate comparative heights. The new system is the invention of H. Ommundsen, an Englishman, who won the king's prize at a recent Eng- | lish national shoot and who has been high up in the same contest on several pther occasions.

If you want the ad run more iply by the number of insertions you Frank P. Morse, one of the best dramatic press agents, and the most Incessant talkers in the world, walked Into a fashionable hotel in Chicago pne evening and wrote on the regis- ter the set of peculiar hieroglyphics ! which he is pleased to call his signa- ! ture. “How much will you charge me for & room and bath?” he inquired, with gn air of a man to whom money was not a question. The clerk told him. “Yes, yes,” said Morse, with ex- treme urbanity. “Quite so. Now I would like to see Mr. James.” “What Mr. James?” asked the clerk. “Mr. James, the proprietor of this botel,” exclaimed Morse. What was more to the point, he grew very peevish when the clerk insisted that Mr. James was not the proprietor of the hotel, and that no Mr. James was | In the house. - “You can't kid me,” said Morse angrily. “I want to see Mr. James, the proprietor of this hotel, and I want to see him quick. I mean Mr. Jesse James, the most notorious rob- jber of modern times—brother of Frank.”—Popular Magazine. Color Artist and the Vegetable. Eggplant purple! Yes, that is one of the very newest shades this season. Perhaps you knew it last year by jome entirely different name, but ‘here can be no monotony in coler any more than in skirts or waists. Last jear we borrowed the names for some {df the fashionable colors from the ruits and the flowers in many cases. Chis season we seem to be coming lown a peg, and have gone off into the regetable garden for our inspira- | { don. It is not only eggplant purpke. but lettuce and artichoke greens, radish ?ink, tomato red and potato brown. | These are fashionable names for fash- onable colors. But all of them are 1sed more or less as trimming touches, ‘or we still have many somber shades hat are the height of style.

Vo Chance to Reforn Woman's Garb. “Why,” demanded the Erratic Think- ir, “showfd men criticise women's garb | ind attempt to tell them what to wear ind what not to wear? If women vill persist in wearing gowns so tight pat they appear %o have been applied rith a paint brush what is it to us? And if some of them are bow-leg'— ir-er—well, that's their business, too. And lastly, my brethren, if we at- fempt to compel them to wear any jort of garment or prevent them from wearing any other sort of garb, they von’'t wear it, or they will wear it, be- )ause we have tried to make them do lhe opposite. So, it Ezems to me hat where we get off now is just ex- retly where we got on in the first | Mace.” Not Worth Much. ! The suburban soprano had just fin- {shed trilling at the charity concert. | “What do-you think of her?” ask- | M a local enthusiast, turning to s neighbor, a cynic from the city. “Not much!” snapped the cynie. “Why, man,” returned the surprised wmburbanite, “she is said to possess a prtune in her throat!” “Maybe, maybe; but she had bets r not try to raise money on it. They ire false notes.” Strange Curiosities of Pain. Pain sometimes behaves in a curk ous fashion. There was a soldier after the Boer war, who complained of ex- cruciating neuralgic pains in his right foot. This very much amused his friends, for he had lost his right leg. The explanation was that the pain happened to be in the trunks of those nerves, which had sent branches to the foot. The other day a patient went to a doctor complaining of pain in the knee, and he was greatly sur prised \when the doctor told him that the site of the affection i8 not the! knee but the hip. We are all familiar| with the pain under the shoulder blade which comes from an afflicted liver.: The stomach, too, can produce painl in many parts of the body. A dis ordered stomach will give us pain as far away as the head, and, when one gets a cramp in his toe, it is often due to acidity of the stomach. Swallow a pinch of bicarbonate of soda and the cramp will disappear. An aching tooth will produce neuralgic painsin faraway kidweys, which themselves may suffer no pain at the time. Damage by Big Guns. Six years firing of the big guns of the army posts has resulted in the submission of many curious claimse for damages on the part of the farm- ers, cottagers and fishermen, aggre gating no less than $32,616, and these claims, distributed among 220 persons, are now being settled by the disburs ing office Naturally tke largest items are forx smashed window ghss in cottages and farmhouses, but included in the list is one item of 46 cents for damages caused- by the passage of artillery through a Filipino rice field. The largest claim is for $5,000 for dams ages inflicted by the blast of the guna of Fort Baldwin, Me., upon a summel home.—Lewiston Journal.
