which signal fireworks are used on land and water. Their 

 advantage to a sportsman who is lost, or who wishes to 

 communicate with his friends from a distance, will be 

 readily perceived. Besides, they afford a cheap and con- 

 venient pleasure to those who wish to improvise a pyro- 

 technic entertainment in town or country ; and we can 

 readily imagine that the time may come when persona 

 who are isolated from places where fireworks arc sold 

 will keep a supply' of these on hand for occasional or spe- 

 cial service. Last Thursday Captain Bogardtis gave an 

 exliibition on the grounds of the Manhattan Beach Com- 

 pany, at Coney Island, when he fired off 500 of these 

 shells in the very short space of twenty-four minutes. 

 The display was Very brilliant and satisfactory. It may

■ ■ The Most Brilliant Achievement at Pigeon Shoot- 

 ing- on Record." — This is what the New York Herald- 

 terms D. C. Zellner's feat of killing forty birds straight, at 

 Bergen Point, N. J., last Friday. The achievement was 

 a brilliant one, but not the most brilliant one upon record, 

 simply because there are upon record others which are 



more brilliant. For instance : ten years ago, in 1868, al 

 Chicago, Bogardtis killed 100 birds in 100 shots ; and ten 

 years before that Mr. William King, at St. Louis, April. 

 "1859, killed 44 buds straight. Nothing is more common 

 than to herald a memorable performance as the most re- 

 markable, when in fact, it has been suspassed a score of 

 years ago.

The BOOAEDUB Signal Shells.— < 'aptain Bogardus has 

 patented a signal shell Which may be ftred from an ordi- 

 nary gnn like any cartridge. Tt is projected into the air 

 some 300 feet or more, and when al its maximum height 

 it hursts into vari-c, .lured lights and presents a b Hi D 

 a display as the ordinary Roman candles used in pyroteuh 

 Dies. The signal shell is placed in a blank gnu cartridge 

 and a time fuse regulates its ex.plo.sion. The utility and 

 beauty of these new lireworks ire sutliLienth manifest. 

 They 'can be used for any of the miraerous purposes for

 had grooved out a block of 

 about four inches long, in 

 end pressing against a pieo 

 bolt, fitted so that when a , 



with the right hand it pressed on the cap. Thinking 

 these caps were not on far enough, and holding the blcck 

 hi my hand, with my thumb keeping the shell in place, I 

 gave a couple of turns to the handle of the screw with my 

 right hand. 1 had removed the shot, but there were three 

 drachms of powder and two wads on it still in the shell. T 

 was seated with the machine on my knees and my face 

 over it. The shell exploded, and as soon as the smoke 

 cleared awav. there was nothing in my hand but the han- 

 dle of the screw. I could hear nothing for a few seconds, 

 and could see nothing of the shell or the rest of the appa- 

 ratus. With the exception of a blood blister on the thumb 

 which held down the shell I was unhurt. Some of the 

 brass was imbedded in a door on my right, but where the 

 block of wood went, and thereat of the concern, is a mys- 

 tery now. My escape from injury was a narrow one. 

 This should be a warning to all that the care with which 

 one begins the use of a gun should never relax for an 

 instant under any circumstances. R. W. H. 



The Close Shooting Hobby.— Cairo, Go.., May 30.— 

 Editor Fores' and Stream .—If the American people have 

 a single pre-eminently distinguishing characteristic, it is 

 the eusto with which they ride hobbies. The hobby just 

 now"is close-shooting guns, and from the impetus it has 

 already received, it bids fair to be ridden to death. In 

 your issue of S3d, "Joy," of Michigan, steps to the front 

 with a pattern he made with a Parker gun. which I think 

 reaches the climax I have been expecting for several 

 months. Such a gvul as ".ley " boasts of svouldbe almost
