TIE MUSHROOM BULLET.

A New Proiectile That win DissAas Nlap
Rather Than XIII Them.
Gen Tweetiie has designed a bullet
which Is thought highly Of by English
ordnance experts, and is in their opin-
ion. something that will meet a lonqltelt
want, says the New York Times
The new smal1-bore bullet has been
found to pass through living animals in
less sensitive parts without their being
aware that they have been struck At all
This Is due to the combination of high
velocity and small diameter In war
the object is to disable men, and this is
often more effectually fulfilled by
wounding than by killing, because .
wounded man at the moment requires
one or two men to look after him. while
the dead man is for the time let alone
If the wound, however, is one that
hardly makes its existence known the
Immediate object may not be answered.
A swage especially would desrhse q
wound Of that character. If the bullet
strikes bone the effect is different, be-
cause bone splinters terribly under q
blow at high velocity. but for what
are called flesh wounds the small bore
is nowhere"
Gen. fweedie's bullet has nan4let
or case, which is closed at the base and
open at Che head, the mantlet ending
about half way between the shoulder
and the point. The result is that on
striking the head spreads or "mush-
rooms 50 as to make the b<lleA after
having che advantage of q small diam

practically one of large bore, the main
difference being that the energy con-
sists more in velocity and less in
weight Than was the case in en- old
largeAbore ball It is said also to be
much more efficient against thin iron
or steel plate for the same reason
namely, that it makes much larger
hole and acts particularly we'll in
obique impact. OF course it will be
clearly understood that this is only in
cases In which the plate is outmatched
by the bullet. AS the chief objection
to the bullet is that it will not do the
work o3 an armor-piercing projectila,
the objection can stand, says a prom
inent ordnance authority, and, rs the
Tweedie bullet possesses almost oil o1
the qualities required, it seems very
probable that extensive experiments
will be made to prove its superiority to
other sInall-arm bullets in use to-day.

Bupe0rn0 COurt Judges ma Thoh RefHt1On9
10 The PreD-Instances q " "Lcakage/'
The Justices Of the supreme court are
arbitrary in their dealings with the
press, writes q correspondent OF the
Philadelphia Press They are usually
CuurteouD as well, brt sometimes the
axbitrasiness takes an unpleasant and
inconvenient form. For example, It II
very likely that q supreme court JUS
tice, after reading an elaborate decision
Of some important case, will put the
manuscript Of the decision in his pocket
and take h home with him, to the utter
confusion d the reporters who are
sainly waiting for glimpse of it. An
excursion to the Justices home at night
usually results in the production of the
manuscript, but not invariably.
The justices of the supreme court OBJ
tect to having literal quotations made
from their decisions, and the clerk, in
turning these decisions over to the re-
porters, absolutely prohibits any literal
extracts from them. Everything that
the Justices say may be put in the re-
porters own language and told to the
public, but until the official report of
the proceedings Of thecourtis published
under the auspices of the court the Lam
gnage Of the decision itself must not
be quoted, unless special permission is
given, as is done In rare cases.
Charges Of Leakage of important
decisions have been very fev-a remark

uneasy and depressed condition. When
the decision was announced it went ur

had bought heavily on the advance news
made enormous profits.

peace put in an appearance II silence as

was apparent some disturbance had oc-
Cured, and young man who bore evil
dence of having been in a scrimmage of
some kind was taken in charge. This
morning the evidence showed that 4
row had occurred, and that the young
man in custody was one Of the partici-
pants. He was fined So. The police
say it often happens that when they
have responded to the alarm whistle no
one seems disposed TO make formal
charge against those who had been en-
gagged in the disorder, and it is said in
future if the parties blowing whistles
lail to give satisfactory reasons therefor
they will be fined. Considerable ex-
element followed the call last night,
and large crowd gathered i'll front OF
the house where it was supposed a row
was in progress.

Alexandria. but for many years ii had
been neglected. About thirty years

there. and il was said he and his iami,

will be there during the day they Will
leave the Waterman to entertain any
restless shades which may desire to
visit the scenes Of earth. But
it is the foundry property OF
which we started to speak.
This building proper has undergone but
little change since the palmy days OF
