A Shot rewat a M laeh RiUe SwSScleet U Urt . Bnttlaahiw ■lgkt Feet. ” Velocity and pressure, ” explained tho powder mill superintendent, •'are the two meta requisites in proving pow der. The government is very specific in its contract*. It demands that who fired under service conditions in the gun for which it to intended powder must give to the fwjectile a mutate velocity . of at least a certain number of feet per ascend without producing a prearare of more than a certain number of tousle 1 ths square inch. For modem gundlhe ( 'velocity required varies from 2,000 to •,800 feet in a second, and the preonAe I 1* not allowed to exceed id tons to the < square inch. In some of our guns of the present day the amount of energy stored up in tho powder charge is so tremen dous as to be almost incredible. The , limit of energy upon the projectile can- < not be estimated, so vast are the possi- ( .bilitia* "For example, I may cite the Ore gon’s 1* inch rifles. Five hundred and fifty pounds of powder in these guns impart to an 1,100 pound shot a velocity of 2,100 feet per second, and the energy of the projectile ia nearly 84,*000 foot tons. This power is sufficient to lift such a vessel as the Oregon eight feet cut of the water. •‘Those screens between the cannon and the breastworks are electrio chrono graphs 100 feet apart from each other and tho cannon, and they register the time of tho projectile’s flight with abso lute accuracy.” “And absolute accuracy is—what?” “The millionth part of a second.”— Ban Francisco Call The oily of St.' Louis has adopted lbs curfew law. The age limit is fifteen years, and the time limit 8 p m. in winter and 9 in summer. Bt. Louie is the first of the large cities to adopt such a law, though it is in suc cessful operation in s number of the smaller cities of the West and North* west. It is believed that good results will follow the breaking up of bands of boys and youths that gather after night on corners and in vacant lots. The St. Louis police will be instructed to pay particular attention to such gatherings and disperse them under <4he curfew law. WM. E. H. SEARCY, JR., ~ Counsellor at Law, GRIFFIN, GA.

The hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow, parsnip-colored complexion indicates it. A physician wouidmk if you bad rbeu mitten, a dull pain or ache tn the back or over the hips, etoaaaeh trouble, desire to urinate often, or a burning or scalding in passing it; if after passing there is an un satisfied fading as if it must be at ones re peated, or if th» urine has a brick duat de posit or strong odor. When these symptoms are present, no time should be lest in removing the cause. Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage, and sometimes requiring the drawing of the urine with instruments, or may run into BrighTs Disease, the most dangwous stags of kidney trouble. Dr. KHansn Swamp-Root, the great discovery of the eminent kidney and blad der specialist, is a positive remedy for such dteniw lie reputation is world wide and His so easy to get at any drug store that no one need suffer any length of time for want of it However, if you prefer to fint test its wonderful merits, mention The Middle Geonia Farmer, and write to Dr. KH merftCb,, Binghamton, N.

Mr. Banks paid all the premiums in cash, and j he did thia fur fifty-tour years. He did hot utilise any portion of the divi dends in payment of premiums, but permitted the Company to invest these for his benefit. Here are the particulars: Policy No. 1,283. Issued March 5,1845.
