Explosive Effects of Rifle Bullets.

A series of interesting experiment!

on the explosive effects of the modern infantry bullet have been carried out in Germany by 0 Oranis at.d KB Koch, says Nature. They used a new Mauser rifle of 6 millimetre (l^in) bore, having a muzzle velocity 100 metres (328 ft) greater than model 88. To ijiitate the effect upon large bloodl* vessels, while at the same time obtain ing simple physical conditions, the experiments constructed short, hollow tin cylinders filled with water, and closed at one end with a sheet of rubber, and at the other with a sheet of parchment paper. Electrodes were mounted before-or behind the oylin. ; ders, or inside them, and the discharge spark produced by the bullet waa utilised to obtain a photograph of itti silhoutte at various points of its path. Among the important facta thus elicited it appears that the body struck i_ rob displaced by the entry of the ballot. On leaving the body, the bullet carries away with it a email part of the hind surface, having a small round perforation through which the bullet passed. The explosion does not take place until tbe bullet has left the body. After discussing the evapora tion, hydraulic pressure, rotation, and sound-wave theories of the explosion, and discarding them all, the authors conclude that the apparent explosion is due to the transfer of kinetic energy to the portions hit at later stages, which are thus torn away from those first encountered.

The Gas That Keeps the Earth Warm.

Everyone knows that the atmosphere surrounding our solid globe may be com pared with the glass of a greenhouse, , which permits the rays of the sun to pass through, but prevents the escape of radiations from tho heated Interior. This action, says the Leisure Hour, Is due to the carbonic acid gas and moisture in the air, but as the proportion of the latter varies considerably, while the quantity of ; the former Is almost the same all over the i earth and at ail seasons, evidently the protective aotic nof carbonic acid gas la mo.d important from a terrestrial point of view. If the proportion of this gas In ■ir should be increased, the temperature of the ground and of the air surrounding ue would be raised, and if it were dllmln shed all parts of the earth would become 00. er. This conclusion appears somewhat stonishing when the small amount of the g-H in the air is borne in mind. In one thousand cubic feet of air there are only hree cubic feet of carbonic acid gas : that ■'a to say, only one-third per cent of ale consists of the gas to the protective qualities of which we are so much indebted, Notwithstanding this, Dr Nils Kkholm shows, in a detailed paper published by R/yal Meteorological Society, that a d minution of the gas to two-thuds of Its present amount would probably lower the average temperatnre of the northern regions of the earth by at least 99deg, ITahr., arid hence produce the clim.te of the Great ioe Age. On the other hand, an Increase to triple the present amount, that is, to aboufc'l per cent in air, would probably produce a rise of temperature amounting to 30deg. or 40 deg., and thus convert the deserts of polar Ice into regions covered with a rich and flourishing tropical flora, as they were lv former ages. From these considerations Dr Ekholm. concludes that the principal variations of climate in the past have been caused by slight variations in the proportion of carbonic acid gas in the earth's atmosphere.

Invincible Mutual Antipathy.

The Times Berlin correspondent tele graphs with reference to the dissolution"^! the marriage of the Grand Duke and Duchess of Hesse that, although' tha marriage was originally one of pure affectiuu, differences arose between their Royal Highnesses, and led, two years ago, to a separation whioh lasted for several months, bub which was followed by a reconciliation. There was a fresh estrangement dnring the present year, and on October 15 the Grand Duchess proceeded to Ooburg and expressed her determination not to return to Darmstadt. Ib Is under stood that efforts were made by various exalted relatives to compose the differences between the Royal couple, but they proved unavailing. Tbe Court is believed to have granted the divorce on the ground of Mnvlnslble mutual antipathy.' The Princess Elizabeth will, it is stated, foe the present remain with her mother, bob will return to the Court of the Grand Duke when she is grown up.

Dear Sirs, —I feel ib my duty to give you this enclosed testimonial in favor of Ross Antidote for purifying the blood. I have been a great sufferer for many yeata from ulcerated stomach, indigestion, etc. My life was a perfect misery, and I was almost a wreck. I grew tired of trying different medical men and remedies, of which I had trlei almost every known one but yours, and one day some eighteen months ago a gentleman came into the shop where I was employed. He remarked 'Jack, you look very ill' (and you may depend I was}. Be added,' Will you take some medicine if I procure it ; I replied I will take anything. He brought me a bottle of your Antidote, ana I took it accordingly as directed, and to my delight I began ho geb well, and after taking three large bottles I was a new man—thanks to your great discovery. I always keep ib by me, and find a few doßus occasionally keep ma in perfect health, and I wish you the success with it that such a medicine merits. You can make what use you like of this. —I remain yours, etc, J H Pausing, Masterton May be obtained from Messrs Fletcher Bros and Shearman Bros, Ashburton 9_232 THE DAINTIEST LITTLE WHEEL THAT EVER WAS" " The Bambkr."

I A YOUNG LADY'S LIFE SAVED. At Panama, Columbia, by Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Dlarrhcei Remedy. Dr Chas. H Utter, a prominent physician of Panama, Columbia, in a recenb letter states; * Last March I had as a patient a young lady sixteen years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for her proved ineffectual and she was growing worse every hour. Hee parents were sure she would die. She had become so weak that Bhe could not turn over in bed. What to do ab this critical moment was a sLudy for me, but I thought Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, and as a last resort prescribed It. Tha most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feeling much better; Inside of three days she was upoa her feet and at the end of one week was entlrely well.' For sale by Ashburton Drug Co. .
