A RAKE WORK.
Professor Besscy succeeded a few
days ago in buying a eopy of a rare
old doolc entitled, 4iRot;anlTan Tarlst
enso" by Sebastian Vaillant. It was
published In 1727 and contains de
scriptions of all tho plants growlnc
at that time In tho vicinity of Pails.
Tho work Is volura luoualy Illustrated
with ooppor plates done by (Jlaud
Aubrlot, a noted artist of that day.
It is a small quarto volume with the
-pages 10. by 10 inches and Is - bound - io -
vellum Although tlio book is 11
years ola H is In perfect condition.
Through tho ofiors of Professor H.
H. Nioliolson, a number of Important
pieces helonging to tua coro "of tho
tc3b well at Llonoln, havo been coU
looted and added to tho state
museum. This test was borea to a
dopfcu of 2,403 rt., at aloost of $20,
000, tho object being to determine
iho question or coal.oil and natural
ftas In ftobraksa. As the cores were
takon out tuoy were distributed for
examination. Tho scattered pieces
of this coro have beou coming to the
museum for tho past ton years until
the reoora of tho strata Is uaarly
completed. V
100 copies of Tumble Weeds will
reach Lincoln by express today.' None
of theso will bo placed on salo, how

TIIIC AUTOMATIC VIHTOU.
Tho latest In small arms Is the pis
tol which has just been adopted by
the Swiss government and has lately
been tested by tho United States war
department. In speaking of It in tho
American Machinist, O. H. Powell
calls attention to the fact that tho
limited range of the revolver Is large
ly duo to the escape of tho powder ga
about the cylinder, nnd thon says:
"What Is known as tho automatic
plBtol of today seems almost a perfect
realization of the ends sought. Though
called automatic, this Weapon is la
reality only semi-automatic, as suc
cessive pressures on the trigger aio
necessary to Us operation.
"This weapon is a repeating arm in
which tho force of the expansion of tho
gas the recoil, or 'kick' is utilized
after each shot to open the breech
block, extract tho empty case, cock tho
flilng-pln, and, by means of a recuper
atlc spring, charge tho pistol with a
now cartridge, tho operator merely
having to press tho trigger for each
successive shot." In editorial com
ment tho Journal just refened to re
marks. "The performance of this
Luger pistol Is remarkable, as shown
by tests of ai my boards. Twenty-four
SECTIONAL VIEW.
shots were fired from It at the late or
110 a minute. This Included the time
of removing two empty magazines and
inserting two loaded ones, so that tho"
rato of firing one magazine charge, or
eight shots, must of course be consid
erably faster. In tho accuracy test
the mean deviation of the shots was
Bhown to be slightly more than 0.5
Inch nt a range of 76 feet. It was
taken apart In 8 seconds and ie.us-
Bouiblert In 12 seconds.
' It also stood the remarkably sever
duut nnd mat tests very well and gavt
l - oyor - yL ovldenoe- of-belng the very best
mllltury pistol presented beforo the
trial board, After being ImmerBed In
u aohitlon of sal ammoniac and al
lowed to remain until thoroughly rust
ed, It was without cleaning fired as a
a'ngle breech-loader, and after being
pimply oiled, without disassembling;,
workod automatically as before. It U
thought probable that tho United
Sfe.ten army authorities will adopt It
for army use, In which case It will bo
manufactured here."
THE TIGER'S KVES.
Jfr. Beddard of the London Zoolog
ical 13oclety calls, attention to a pecu
liarity of ,th,Q earB of tigers, which ho
thinks may be classed under the head
of "protective markings." On the back
of oach ear is a vory bright white spot,
and when the ears aro directed for
ward these spots are conspicuous from
tho front. Mr. Beddard suggests that
when the tiger Is sleeping In tho dim
light of a cave or thicket the spot.i on
itt ears may appear to an enemy, look
ing In, aB the gleam of Its watchful
eytH, and thus Bave tho Blpefaor from
an unexpected attack.
