There are few communities in the world more cosmopolitan than the legation quarter of Peking. In the course of an hour one may hear most of the languages of Europe and Asia spoken. There is, however, no con- fusion of tongues, as everybody speaks English, which is the “Lengu. Franca™” of the far east. One is impressed by the international character of the place more by the uniforms of the military than by anything else. Sim- ply by walking down Legation street and observing the sentries at the vari- ous legation gates one may see the uniforms of the world's greatest arm- fes, By taking a promenade around the glacis one may observe the military tactics of many nations.

This accounts for the | e i | formality which characterizes most of the social functions in the legations. The custom of dressing for dinner is very generaily observed. During the social season there are balls and din- pers in the legations almost every night. At these functions great care is exercised to seat people according to their rank and dignity. In order to facilitate this rather ticklish task —— e Bullets to Set Balloons on Fire. Tests have been made in Germany with a special projectile which is in- tended to repel dirigibles and which s designed not only to pierce a gas en- velope, but also to set fire to the gas. This projectile, fired from the old Ger man rifie known as “model 71,” which has a caliber of 11 millimeters, is pro- vided with little wings that open in flight under the influence of a spring, compressed while the projectile is still in the rifle barrel, but expanded as soon as the muzzla is passed. An ordinary bullet leaves such a small hole in an envelope that the gas escapes through it but slowly. The wings on the improved bullet tear a hole of appreciable size in the fabric. What {s more, they retard the bullet sufficlently to ignite fulminate con- tained in the bullet. It is said that ex- periments conducted at Neumannswald gave encouraging results.—Scientifio American.
