SAVED BY A SONG.
When the English steamer Stella
was wrecked on the Casquet rocks, en
the 30th of March last, twelve women
were put lnto'a boat, which the storm
whirled' away into . the waters with-
out a man to steer it, and without' en
oar which the woolen could use. All
they could •do was to sit still in'the
boat,. and let' the. winds and waves
carry them whither they would.• -
They rpassed a terrible night not
knowing to `.what. fate destiny was
conducting them. Cold lured wet, they
must have been quite overcome but
for the courage, presence of mind and
musioal• gifts of one of their . number.
This one was •Miss Marguerite- Wil-
liams; a contralto . • singer • of much
ability, well known as a einger.in era-
torios..'
•At the risk of •ruining her voice, Miss
Williams began. to sing to;ber 'cum -
anions. Throu h t
p , g , he greater. part
of the night her voice -rang. over the
waters. She sang as much of certain
well-known.. oratorios as she could,.
paxtioularly� the contralto. songs of.
"The. Messiah," and'"Elijah," and sev-
'eral hymns.. ' Her voice and the, :sacred
words Inspired the women in the boat
to endure- their sufferings. .
At about four o'clock in the -morn-
ing, while it was' stili' dark, a small
siteam •graft which had been sent out
to try; to 'rescue some of the floating.
viotims' of the. wreck, coning to a pause
on the waters, beard a woman's strong
...voice some distance away.'' It seemed.
to be. lifted in, song._ The men op the

PERPETUAL SILENCE,
A clerious mourning custom obtains
in Central Australia, .',Which, although
representing perhaps the lowest 'and
most degraded typeof human beings,,
have.'nsanaged to evolve a moat corn-
plex system .of rites and ceremonies
which , govern almost every.action of
their lives. An Australian who has
resided for 14 years among bhe Arun-
tas, and . who has been'initiated into
all their'myateries,':relatea that when -
a husband diest the widow' paints her-
self all over with whitey pigment, and
for the space of. a year .must not ex-
hibit herself to a male member pf the
tribe on pain of death. .For the' rest
of her life, unless she. mrries. again-. �•.
which is sometimes allowed -she must
not speak, but communicate with the
other : women by means of a sign
language, consisting of movements of
the hands and fingers, which bus been
developed by these savages to a mar-
velous extent, and by.which their
limited stook of ideas can be fully ex-
pressed. •

Let's keep this secret a little white,
THIS LItlIT IN DAIRYING.
There are .some who believe that the
limit of the !sow's produotive capacity
has been•reaohed, and that the record
breaking animals can never hope to
e)oceed . what they have done already.
As a rule, those who talk about the
limit .of the cow's capaoity, and thlnk
that dairying cannot be further int-
proved along .this line, fail to consid-
er often. what is more important to.
them individually. Granted that; the
highest record for milk gild cream has
been soured It would still bea fanny
o£ the brain to imagine 'that the pro-
ductive oapaoitiee of any number of
cows havekeen. reached. Where we
find one cow that even begins to ap-
proaoh the limit of her capacity we
see fifty that have not begun toolimb
upward. Dairying is thus far from Its
Beit, It cannot approach such a
it until more than a majority of the
Cows on the dairy farms have been
grdded'up to their highest standard,
and the .minority show some effects of
the improvement.
It is true we have made great pro-
gress in dairying ;in. the pant twenty
years, but too much of this progress
is confined to a 1.mited number of opo-.

• The Lee-Metford, which: for ra'pidi
of fire Is practically a..ten•cbaipber

The construction, of the barrel
considerably more complicated: 'Th

The bar le, in the first iilaee, consider

the olumsy looking blook of mild stee

speedily converted into an unbore
rifle barrel nearly four feet in lengt;
and terminating in, a thickened en
measuring about one tenth of its en
tiro length:
,A 'DIFFICULT.OPERATION.
Next follows the process of Marin
out the barrel, an operation requirin,
rip little skill on the. part of• the work
man. The boring is conducted • b;
means, o£ a pair of drills, ' wgrkinl
from -either end and meeting in' th_
middle. They, are kept cool by means
of. a stream of soap and water, whin
is forced into the barrel by hydrauli
pressure: As soon as :the barrel i
rough -hoz ed . it is; poiishea ready t.
receive the rifting: The accuxaoy ex
peoted of the driller and .polisher wil
be.. best appreciated from 'a desorip
tion of the test •employed to cheek hi
workananship. ' •
The; barrel is placed .in a vertiea
position; and its lower end made air-
tight.' .A. close -fitting gauge is then
inserted at the top of the bore, when
if the' berets :mathematically' correct
the gauge should not only be .support=
ed' by the air . within the bore, but, up-
on. the removal of the: seal from. the
base -of the barrel, should dro easily
through the same, -from top'to bot '
tom,' without wedging,;
',Before the :barrel goes to the "rifl-
er" it, is. inclosed ill a strongly pro-
tected firing cell. Here it is repeat-
edly
_proved,. with the 'Ate of charges
many timeshieavier` than it will actu-
ally be required to, carry in battle, a
test'wbloh is again repeated after tine
process of rifling. -
The process of rifling .a barrel is
that by .which are cut the 'spiral
grooves,' which. run inside the bore
frons •breech to muzzle,, and are de
signed . for -the purpose' of causing the
projectile to rapidly` rotate, gimlet,
fashion, in its flight. -
VALUE OI' THE "TWIST."•:
For the benefit. of the -uninitiated• it
may be explained! that this twist not
only enables• the bullet' to,cut its way.
further into its billet, brit also gives
it ;a much longer and • more accurate.
flight•. The grooves thus,'cut are sev-
en in number, • but- the process by•
which they are produced is too techni-
cal for the. unprofessional reader.
After polishing and "browning," the'
latter in order that. no -tell-tale glint
of steel may betray. the, Marksman to
his enemy, the barrel isready for at-
tachment to the "body," bolt' and
'magasine, The "body' is that
part of the rifle which holds together
its component pante,. the "bolt" is a
smolt edition of the common or .front -
door "bolt of our own' houses, and, in
addition to extracting the' spent car
tridge,;; contains the "striker," -by
which the cartridge •18 exploded: Moat
important of all, however, is the "ma,
gamete."
'.Co draw a' familiar simile,.the main
idea•of the magazine mechanism is an
extension of the principle of the metal
coin purse. YOu put . your 10 cart-
ridges in, one by one, 'upon a species
of •spring platform, which will always
hold the' laat cartridge ready to hand.
The chief difference is that; whereas
in the ',coin purse the Coins are with-
drawn by hand, the Lee-Metford ma-
gazine is emptied automatically - It
fa provided with an ingenious mechan-
ism which causes it, to disgorge its
contents, one by one, into the breech
of the rifle as soon• as the .preceding
cartridge ease bas been ejected by the
action of firing.
The magazine is further fitted with
a "out -off," by' • means o4 .which the
rifle can be tired and: reloaded in the
ordinary way, shot by shot, until. such
bane as the soldier finds himself in a
tight corner. Then the '"out -off" is
oiled out, and Tommy Atkins knows
