Kaiser wiIh.lm,. Short cun.

The Berlin correspondent Of one OF tho
morning papers reports that during the EN-.
peror Williams recent visit 10 Prince Pless.
in Silesia, his majesty ''proved his skin with
the rife" by shooting in two days 755 head Of
game "to his own rife" This is great non
sense; for, apart from the fact that people do
not usually shoot pheasants and hares with
rifles, the emperor has never used such a
weapon in his life; for, having practically
only one hand, he always shoots with a short
gun, which has been made expressly for him,
and with which he takes ''pot' shots, holding
1t and aiming it like pistol The bag of 755
head may possibly represent the achievement
Of the whole party at Pless but II would be
very remarkable II the emperor himself had
shot q tenth Of IL. He failed entirely last
year. when he went out In Styria with the
emperor Of Austria, and, In fact, he can only
shoot with any chance Of success il the game
isdriven close under his gun.-London World.

certain feeling among some, who were
not used to the costume, as they rolled
up to stone front houses in luxurious
coaches-a nervousness at the scantiness
of their coat tails, their vast white shirt
fronts, their ministerial ties. But the
scheme panned out well in results, and
the ingenious editor, who had pressed
into the service many a novice in social
customs, spread page after page OF very
choice news before his readers.
There is nothing that a newspaper
man can stop at in order to get informa'
tion. When Commodore Vanderbilt lay
on his death bed the city daiies kept re-
lays of reporters in a room convenient to
the house, and every moment OF the day
and night for many days each paper had
its eye on the events passing within the
stricken home. 1t is needless to say that
the interest of the general public was
Just as great as that of the newspaper
men, and the first greeting of the morn
ing and one repeated all day was, what
is the news about Vanderbilt!'
This was merely waiting for the ex-
pected, and was a case Of sheer patience,

be interviewed, and places all manner Of
guards against the newspaper man, that
gives the trouble. The noted burglar
and murderer, Edward Rulof, after the
discovery of his identity, which proved
him an old and hardened villain, sui.

what would probably be the experience
In actual service against an enemy. Tho
guns most generally in use aboard tho

and few years before that struggle. q
fcW Parrot guns OF the 60-pounder pat
tern are also to be found, while the larg.

Tho whole object OF the dri)l Is to 20
pcefsct the crew In their individual duties
that when they are called together to go
through tho motions Of fighting an
enemy every detail will have been care
fully attended to and the whole body will

gun drill consists In casting loose all the
tackles that hold the gun in place when
tho ship is rolling about, and in provtd.
ing the apparatus required TO load and
fire, while the gun'screw arm themselves
with cutlass and pistol or rifles, as their
stations call for. Once week at "gen-
eral quarters' powder and projcctilcs arc
brought up ON deck and the motions Of
loading and firing gone through with.
Primers are snapped instead Of actually
firing the guns, which latter Is only done
once in three months, when the quarter

Until within tho last four years but little

terly firing, and IL was quito generally
apt to be regarded as more or less Of n

endured simply for the sake of carrying
out what the regulations prescribed.
Lieut.. Forsyth -Meigs, for some years
gunnery instructor at the Naval academy,
drew up most excellent system, which

Admirals Luce and Jouett. This consist
ed Of two partisan individual practice
in which tho vessel and target were both
anchored about q thousand yards apart,
and each gun was fred separately, the
scale of merit depending both upon the
celebrity displayed in firing certain
number of shots and in tho smallncss OF
the area covered by these shots.
A medal was presented to tho most
successful gun captain. The man win
ming the greatest number Of times was
James johnson. His work was re-
markable, especially as his gun was
in competition with some Of tho rified
guns. The gun which he fred was
ono Of the broadside 9-inch smooth
bores of the flagship Richmond. This
method of individual practice was in
tended TO lead up to what was termed
battery practice, in which the target was
again stationary, but the vessels were
under way. steaming around it through
an arc Of 90 degs. and at somewhat over
one thousand yards off. The prize in this
case was small triangular flag, which

As all the world Is now either rolling or
talking about ten pins, an inquirer from Tho
Rochester Post Express sought for some IN
formation about the most essential appurte-
nances OF the game, and applied 20 Frank
Schwkert, the billiard table manufacturer,
for information about tho balls and pins
which he makes. He said: "Tbe balls are
made Of lignum vita. which grows in South
America aud is imported by dealers In New
York. The trees grow to be fifteen inches in
diameter, but the outside OF the wood Is not
hard enough 10 make good ball. and we use
only the heart Of the tree. The largest balls
usually made are eight inches in diameter,
while the smallest ones are four inches.
Twelve balls constitute u set for ono.alley,
and they are worth from $3.50 to 81. 10 each.
They are turned in a lathe by u tool which
moves in "a true circle, and will make ball
from an inch to foot in size. The block OF
wood is set In chuck and one end is turned
into a hemisphere. 1t is then changed around
and the other end presented to the tool aud

Court Cleared by a Leper.

Something Of panic was created
recently in a st. Louis court when q
leper was produced on writ Of habeas
corpus. The writ was directed against
the city officials, who were directed to
bring the leper from quarantine in order
to demonstrate to the court that the man
was really a leper and was not being
unlawfully restrained of his liberty. The
judge took one glance at the loathsome
creature, whose body was covered with
blue and white blotches, from which
scales were constantly dropping. He
was Immediately convinced that the
man was genuine leper, ordered him
back to quarantine and adjourned court

sells TO the new steel cruisers is only just
begun, and the older systems Of drills
are carried out on board of the very
large majority of naval vessels now in
commission. Should the various propo-
sitions for the incorporation of naval
reserve, now 80 much talked about
throughout the country, be carried into
effect, the drills will have, by sheer
force of circumstances, to partake more
of the nature of what has been the meth.
cd for years than Of what would apply
more especially to improved breech
mechanism, torpedo tubes and smoke
less powders.
The reason for this is not far to seek,
and lies chiefly in the fact that just at
present the navy does not possess enough
Of the modern cruisers for its own press
ing needs, and tho receiving ships and
monitors that will probably BIO the ves-
sells first utilized for drill purposes by
the pioneers of the auxiliary naval forces,
or naval reserve contingent, are already
of past day and generation. The for
mcr were crack frigates of their time
and were models in the days of smooth
bore cannon and full sail powered ships;
the latter came in with the civil war, as
soon after Ericsson's vessel proved her
prowess at Hampton Roads as they could
be constructed, and have hardly been in
active service since. A half million Of
dollars, more or less, is mentioned as the
sum necessary to put them in condition
for cruising service; but as this expendi-
ture seems exorbitant for the email
amount of good they are to the navy at
large, the secretary of the navy suggests
their use as drill vessels for tho naval
reserve In its preliminary exercises TO
prepare itself to man the coast defense
vessels in time of actual service. The
usual custom aboard all men-of-war is to
have "quarters" at $50 in the morning.
This is for the purpose Of muster and
inspection, to ascertain if all hands are
on board and if they are properly dressed
in the prescribed uniform Of the day.
The men stationed at the guns Of the
battery fall in alongside of their respect
i've cannon on one side Of the deck, the
first division forward, the second next,
and SO on until all the places are taken.
There are always u large number of men
on board vessels of war who are not sta
toned at the guns. They arc the serv-
ants, the engineers force, tho various
petty officers, whose general duties arc
below decks; the men required to attend
TO the steering of tho vessel, handling
the signals, sounding apparatus, etc.
also the carpenters, whose particular
duties are to look out for and stop up
shot holes and other damage during an
action; the gunner's gang, who do duty
in the magazines and shell rooms, and
the marines.
All of these are drawn up on the oppo.
site side of the deck to that on which the
gun divisions assemble; the powder di.

DRAGGING,

DRAGGING.
He was induced to give his attention to
the matter from several cases Of drown
ing which came under his especial no.
tice. A case in point occurred a few
years ago at Marseilles A sailor who
was painting the sides OF the vessel fell
into the sea. He sank at once, and bub-
blcs showed exactly where he lay. Sew
eral good divers went down for him, but
the water was eighty feet deep and too
dark above the drowning sailor for them
to see him. His body was recovered
several hours afterwards by dragging
the bottom.
This incident led Lieut.. Debrosse to in.
vent what Is called the Debrosse grapnel.
The position Of ono who has sunk being
known Approximately by rising air bub-
bles, the grapnel is lowered, its weight
carrying It down vertically. Then q
string is jerked. and the four sections Of
the metallic globe open like arms, and
closing in on the body when tho machine
Is lifted, bring It to the surface. Tho OBJ
ject is to recover the drowning person
before life has become extinct.
