A COSTLY PRESENT.

The Old Ships Given to King MalletOa
Costing More Than They Are Worth.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 9.-After the navy
department had recovered the paymas-
ter's safe and other valuables from the
wrecks of the American men-of-war lost
in the hurricane Mt Apia, Samoa, the
wrecks themselves We're given to the
Samoan government, There We're no APP
pliances on the islands to raise the
wreckage, but, after many inquiries, a
San Francisco firm was found which UNI
dertook to recover the parts of value, on
condition that they were to be sold in
San Francisco and the proceeds divided
equally between the wreckers and the
Samoans.
The collector of customs Mt San Fran
cisco held that the wreckage must pay
duty, and the treasury department has
sustained that opinion, ON the ground
that although the wrecks are those of
American vessels, the deed of gift to
the Samoans made them foreign and
dutiable. As close computation shows
that the duty imposed would exceed the
sum which can be realized from the sale
of the wreokage, King Malietoa is not

How to See the Blood Vessels of the Eye.
Purkinje discovered very simple and
highly entertaining experiment by means
of which the retina, with all its veins and
blood vessels standing out in relief against
it, can be thrown into the air before ones
eyes. 1t is called the arborescent figure,
from its likeness to a many branched tree,
and is produced in the following manner:
In dark room at night move a candle
backward and forward before the eyes,
these being firmly fixed on the wall be-
yond. After few seconds the air will as
sumo a reddish appearance, and running
over it in all directions may be seen the
veins and blood vessels in bold relief, while
toward the center of the figure there rises
up dark trunk, from which the veins
branch out on all sides.
The trunk is visible where the optic
nerve enters the eye, and this experiment
is chiefly interesting to the student as
proving that the parts of the retina which
actually receive and produce the sensation
of light must lie behind the blood vessels,
since these cast their shadow onto it, and
we are enabled to see them, as we see any
other object, acknowledgement Jour

DANvILLE, Nov. 11.-At 1 o'clock
Monday mo- ming J. M. Frost, night
police officer, discovered a fire in the
rear of Durham 81 Durham's large gro
Gerry house. Prompt work extinguished
the flames, and most disastrous confa-
ton was averted, as the favorable loca-
ton of the building, it being right in the
business portion of the town, and the
great scarcity of water would have led
to the destruction of much property.
That the building was deliberately set
afire is undoubted
The blaze was discovered in rear
doorway, b, tween the storeroom proper
and a warehouse. Pieces of paper and
kindling, sa+ lrated with oil. were found
piled in the corner of the door, which
was nearly consumed before the fire was
discovered.
The evidence of incendiarism was so
clear that prominent. citizens think it
was brought about by the malice engen-
dered on the part of the negroes in the
crusade now being made against the il
legal sale of whisky in Danville. Forty
five warrants were sworn out against
twelve or fifteen negroes, and in the
trials convictions were secured in every
case. B. j. Durham, one Of the firm

Wounds rhat the New Bullets Make.

The tendency in the devising of improved
rifle bullets is now to attain increased
penetration, and the consequence is that
much of the smashing power of the old
bullet is lost. Some of the latest bullets
are more like lead pencil in shape than
anything else
The effect of this modification was re-
Gently shown in the case of laborer who
was accidentally shot by soldier who was
practicing at target with the new Lee
Metford magazine rifle, which has just
been adopted for the British army AL
though the bullet passed clean through the
thigh, the wound healed so rapidly that
the patient was up and on meat diet in
eleven days. In twenty-four days he was
discharged as well. with his leg in as good
condition as ever. His luck in one respect,
however, deserted him in another, and
soon after he caught cold and died of
bronchitis The opportunity Of making
valuable Investigations was too good to be
lost, and the army surgeons secured per-
mission to make a post norton eXami-
nation.
They found that all internal trace of the
wound had vanished. From this they were
able to draw the most satisfactory conclu-
sion that, whatever may be the power of
the new weapons in disabling much
larger number of men In given time than
was before possible, the severity of indi-
vidual wounds will be much less. In place
of large apertures and tracks, where there
always was considerable destruction of
tissue, much smaller wounds may be ex-
pected, with such trlfing damage to the
soft tissues through which the ball passes
that the destruction Of substance resulting
is almost inappreciable. The size and Sc
verify of the wound will be further de-
creased by the sheathing of hard metal
incasing the bullet, which prevents the
lead from breaking up on contact, and SO
lacerating the hesh.-Louisville Courier

A CoId-Blooded Killing In Marshall
County, KY, by an Old Reprobate.
PADUCAH, KY, Nov. IA revolving
tragedy occurred in Marshall county
last week which has just been reported
here.
Isaac Sturgeon is a son-in-law of
James FINLEY, the latter being forty

and was prepared to do so, being armed
with a revolver and shotgun. He fired
once with the revolver and then fol
lowed that up with a discharge of the
shotgun; then, as if rendered frantic, he
rushed upon the PROSTATE form of Stur-
geon and fired several shots into his
body in quick succession, with fatal
effect, literally Kidding his victims
