The amount of ele- vation may be accurately determined by means of a line scale on the up- per section.

The hyposcope is adapted to be so- cured to the stock of the rifle. near the breech. It consists of a series of mirrors mounted in a tube of invert- ed L shape. The shorter arm lies across the barrel of the rifle, while the longer arm hangs down at one side. The first mirror reflects the light coming in along the barrel of the rifle to a second mirror at the elbow of the instrument, which di- rects the rays downwards to a mir- ror at the lower end of the tube, and thence it passes out at right. angles to the eye. Thus on looking in at the eyepiece one can see the sights of his rifle and take accurate aim while holding the gun abOVe his head. \ Succesdul contestants at Bisley brought back with them from Enz- land a. little instrument which is destined to play an important part in the warfare of the future. It is called a hyposcope. and its purpose is to enable a marksman to fire with accurate aim without exposing his head to the tire of the enemy.

The Indian fruit cuckoo, which, like all members of the cuckoo family, lays its eggs in the nests of other birds and thus avoids the trouble of hatching them, is said to exhibit most interest- ing strategy in dealing with crows, which are its enemies. Whereas the hen, an inconspicuous speckled gray bird, conceals herself in the foliage, the cock, remarkable for his brilliant black plumage and crimson eyes, places himself on a perch near a crows’ nest and makes a great noise. The crown immediately rush out to attack him, and he takes to flight with them in pur- suit. 'l‘he hen meanwhile slips into the nest and deposits an egg. Sometimes the crows get back before the egg is laid, and then the intruding hen cuckoo gets a trouncingâ€"Youth’s Companion. 1 Turkish Counts-coho. ; Midhat Pasha. formerly a power II Turkey as leader of s rerorm party. brought about the deposition of Sultan Abdul Aziz. Prince Murad then was proclaimed sultan. Five days later the ex~sultan committed suicide, a fact which was proved by nineteen doctors. Ten days after this tragedy Sultan Murad became insane and was deposed and Abdul Hamid ascended the throne. Midhat was banished, but was received with so much favor in Europe that the sultan became nervous and recalled him and appointed him governor. of Syria. Here he’did much good. but found himself called upon to resign in 1880. He next became governor gen- eral of Smyrna. but shortly afterward he was arrested with Mehemet Rushdl Pasha and others on a charge of being concerned in the murder of Abdul Aziz. The trial dragged on for months. and Midhat, with others, was condemned to death. but on the intervention of the English government his sentence was changed to imprisonment for life. Mid- hat was sent to Tait, in Arabia, where ‘ many attempts were made to poison‘ him, which were frustrated by his serv- ant. One night, however. he was dragged from his room by some of the sultan's oflicials and strangled. Milk and Bright’s Disease. u! Next CALL AND SEE ONE. Marshall Sanitary Mattresses HAVE COMFORT.
