A Projectile’s Gam of Speed.
Experiments with improved instru¬
ments for measuring the velocity of
projectiles have shown that the speed
goes on increasing after the missile has
left-the mouth of the cannon. Leaving
the muzzle with a velocity of 1.474 feet
a second, a projectile has been observ¬
ed to increase its speed to 1.G89 feet a
second within the first six feet. It is
only after having traveled twenty-five
yards that the projectile's velocity be¬
comes reduced to the speed it had on
leaving the muzzle. This is ascribed to
the impulse of the expanding gas be¬
ing felt for some distance beyond the
caunou’s mouth —New York Tribune.
Moisten the Buttonhole.
Every man knows the difficulty and
agony of a refractory collar stud. With
a breakfast to eat. a train to catch and
an appointment to keep, few things are
more maddening than the collar which
simply will not ally itself to the stud.
But few tilings are so easy to remedy.
All that is necessary is to dip the
thumb and forefinger in water and
slightly moisten the obstinate button¬
hole. Then the stud slips in without a
murmur.

So called “heart-burn” is only a sympton of a stomach disorder.
It is indigestion arising from too much acidity in the stomach.
“Heart-burn” is a disease you should not allow to run on, else
the entire system will become disordered and rheumatism and
other chronic diseases will result. Heart-burn and indigestion
are easily arrested if taken in hand in time.
