lrn bullet on a curve, os you do ln throwing a quoit, or must, If you do 
not elevate the muzzle, begin to fall to the earth from the moment It 
eaves the mnzzie. What or which trajectory is the best for 
sporting purposes? Although this is fully explained In the 
c apter on Express Rmes in my father's book, Shooting ; its 
Appliances, Practice and Purpose,” It may be herewith repeated 
The sporting trajectory is certainly that which requires no elevation 
or me mnzzie. in playing quoits the aim la to drop the quoit on the 
mark. If you throw short or beyond, of course yon miss it and lose 
your money, if you have any money on. However, likewise, If your 
r ne throws its bullet as yon would yoor quoit your buUet fails on this 
side of y°nr game, or on the other side over its back, and yon lose your 
(edible) game. But that projectory which, without elevating the muz- 
zle, goes a certain distance, is preferable, and the object of the maker 
of a proper Express rifle Is to prolong that distance as far as possible 
to prevent the bullet from dropping downward; and, as yon look 
straight at a bird and drop It at a certain range with your shotgun 
wuhout eights, to do likewise with your Express rifle with almost no 
As yonr correspondent, '■ H. W. C„" In his No. 1 letter on the sport- 
tng rifle, remarks, 200 yards is and ought to be an "outside limit ” at 
which a sportsman should propose to shoot at large game. Much In- 
dustry has been devoted to the production of an Express rifle which 
shall maintain the bullet as far as possible before it reaches the ground, 
and we have certain opinions as to how this Is to be obtained, which 
practical use has corroborated, and considering the very eminent deer- 
stalkers wno have furnished us with their experiences with our rule, 
there is little doubt that If you succeed in carrying ont in practice 
that which you know ln theory, us explained above, an Express should 
be, It Is, a weapon without a peer for large game. 
Mr. Henry Fulton Is pretty correct about tbe "Upset of Bullets,” 
how that a bullet may expand In the chamber before It 1 ms got Into the 
rifling. It may happen this way: There ore so many varieties of 
cartridges now that a rifle may be chambered for one case and shot 
with another. We have a rifle which was chambered for a straight 
thick case. It was shot with a tapered thin case. The recoil was ter- 
rible and the shooting bad. We found that the thin tapered case ex- 
panded ln the chamber, and the bullet, expanding with it, was too big 
behind for the rifling. This |a an lnslanoe exactly in point, Just as Mr. 
Fulton argues and experienced. 
There are, perhaps, not more than live Arms In England who might 
be intrusted with the order of a man who wanted a crack " Express," 
and even these live differ much In their mode of production and ln the 
results of the shooting of their weapons. It Is possible to have good 
shooting and much recoil— bad shooting and little recoil— bullets that 
penetrate too much or too little— and the best aim la the happy medium 
and— the bull’s-eye— nevertheless. J. D. D.

—Worcester’s Dictionary is certainly entitled to warm recognition of 
lie claim to superiority when Its merit provokes such a testimonial as 
the following from William CnUen Bryant : "The new aud authentic 
etymologies, the conciseness and completeness of tUe deflnltlons, the 
nicety with which the different shades of meaning ln synonyms are 
distinguished, and the conscientious accuracy of the work In all its de. 
partments, give It, ln my Judgment, the highest claims to public fsvor."
