The PiNEiiuiisT Outlook with this
issue, completes Volume VI, and ceases
publication until another fall. The
editor wishes to express appreciation
for the cordial co-operation which has
been extended. The paper is like the
Village, growing, and plans are already
making for its further enlargement,
adornment and improvement next season.
A study of the vibrations of gun bar
rels has been made by two German phys
icists. Several military rifles of differ
ent caliber were used, being either held
on cork supports or in the usual way,
and the shadow of a projecting wire was
photographed, with that of a vibrating
tuning fork, on a moving film. An elec
tric contact recorded the exact instant
at which the projectile left the barrel.
It was found that the vibrations are el
liptical, that with no caliber larger than
6 millimeters (1-4 inch) were the vibra
tions delayed until the bullet had left
the muzzle, that a right-handed breech
caused a slight deviation to the right and
a left-handed breech to the left, and that
the bayonet altered the phase of the vi
bration at the instant of the bullet's
leaving the muzzle.
WireleiM Menaffe from Mara. -
The luminous flashes or "signals''
from Mars will be eagerly looked for
during the spring and early summer, as
it will be several years before the planet
will be again so, favorably situated for
such observations. The secretary of the
British Astronomical Association re
marks that these phenomena are the most
interesting yet observed, as they indicate
that the planet has either high snow
mountains or clouds.
lightning- flashes Kill fishes.
A peculiar sensitiveness to lightning
has been noted in fishes. In several re
cent cases trout and other fishes in tanks
and pools have been killed by lightning
flashes, which, however, struck some dis
tance away.

possess. And the tale is "an old-time
story from the heart for the heart, so
pure and sweet that one falls at once un
der the spell and willingly indulges the
mood to the end. It bespeaks as well, of
that tranquil quiet life in Kentucky in
the early sixties, and each page breathes
a fragrance of honeysuckle and jessa
mine, rare to define. The author has
caught the true spirit of the land and
the time."
The price is $1.20 net ; when ordered
sent by mail nine cents should be added
for postage.
Archlery of Samara.
"The Archiery of Samara", by Henry
Illiowizi, published by Henry T. Coates &
Company, is a gloomy tale of conditions
under Nicholas II, and a book which add
not a little to one's knowledge of the
horrors perpetrated during the dark ages
of Russia. The author does not credit
an official in this story from the Czar to
the least government atom with one
mitigating trace of human feeling. The
story is meagre and the greater part
of the book given to the description of
the cruelty suffered under the compul
sory system of conversion, and to long
theological disputes, but to students of
Jewish history, the book is not without
considerable interest.
The volume is bound in deep red with
a dragon cover design in gold.
White Hock.
The Abbey Press, New York, has
lately published a book of short stories
entitled "White Rock," by Henry M.
'Nixdorff. Mr. NixdorfTs first work as
an author was the "Life of Barbara
Fritchie," which has now reached the
third edition. Most of the stories in the
new volume are of a weird nature, laid
in localities known to the author and
based on familiar legends.
Thompson, the Detective.
The Abbey Press, New York, will
shortly publish a book entitled "Thomp
son, the Detective," by Junius L. Hemp
stead, of Dubuque, Iowa, son of the late
Governor Hempstead, Mr. Hempstead
has attained fame in varying directions.
He refused an art scholarship, six years
study in Italy and Paris, preferring a
literary career.
The lie ward of filial Iiety.

ward of Filial Piety" by M. De Cantillon.

TlieIlev. John Henry.
"The Rev. John Henry," is the title of
a story by Percival R. Benson, just pub
lished by A, S. Barnes & Co., New York.

gles, but in the end faith in Christ burns
brighc again and the preacher becomes a
