THE MUSHROOM BULLET.
A New Projectile That VIII Disable Men
Rather Than Kill Them.

Rather Than Kill Them.
Gen. Tweedie has designed a bullet
which is thought highly of by English
ordnance experts, and is in their opin-
ion something that will meet n long-felt
want, says the New York Times.
The new small-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 a
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
\ savage especially would despise q
wound of that character. II the bullet
strikes bone the effect is different, be-
cause bone splinters terribly under a
blow at high velocity, but for what
are called flesh wounds the small bore
is nowhere"
Gen. Tweedie's bullet has a mantlet
or case, which is closed at the base and
open at the 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" so as to make the bullet, after
having the advantage of small diam
eter in fight, TO become on impact
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 an old
large-bore ball II is said also to bs
much more efficient against thin iron
or steel plate for the same reason
namely, that 1t makes a much larger
hole and acts particularly well in
obiGue impact. OF course il viii be
clearly understood that this is only in
cases in which the plate is unmatched
by the bullet As the chief objection
to the bullet is that ii Will not do the
work of an srInor-piercing projectile,
the objection can stand. says a prom
inent ordnance authority. and, as the
Tweedie bullet possesses almost all OK
the qualities required, it seems very
probable that extensive experiments
viii be made to prove its superiority 20
other small-arm bullets il use to-day.

COURT OF LAST RESORT.

Supreme Court Judges and Their Relations
to the Press-Instances of Leakage"
The justices of the supreme court are
arbitrary in their dealings with the
press, writes a correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press. They are usually
courteous as well, but sometimes the
arbitrariness takes an unpleasant and
announcement form. For example, it Is
very likely that 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 it home with him, to the utter
confusion Of the reporters who are
vainly 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
ject 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-
porter's own language and told to the
public. but until the official report of
the proceedings of the court is published
under the auspices of the court the Ian
guage 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 few-a remark
able testimony to the purity of the
L. 4,
Bell telephone decision reached the ears
of the spectators before it was an
nounced and that the knowledge that
the patent would be sustained Melted
them an enormous sum. There was a
general belief that the decision would
be in favor of Bell; but the uncertainty
about it kept the telephone stock in an
uneasy and depressed condition. When
the decision was announced it went up
with bound and the spectators who
had bought heavily on the advance news
made enormous profits.
| believe the facts connected with
this leakage have never been given &C
curately. No dishonor attaches to the
name of the justice who wrote the de-
cision. A member of his household OBJ
tanned sureptitious knowledge of the
character of the decision, and the in
formation was furnished to the specu-
lators. They paid for it only in prom
Uses, however. The dishonest parties to
the transformations who were near
70 the justice-did not profit by their
perfdy. The price of their dishonor
was never paid and they were not in
any position to make cutlery about their
disappointment or to demand satisfac-
ton.
1t is amazing that the secrets of the
court should have been preserved so in
violate. 1t is usually dangerous to trust
more than two persons with secret,
and when it is remembered that there
are nine of these judges and that the
secrets intrusted to them are often of
enormous value, it seems wonderful that
hardly whisper of scandal has been
breathed against the purity of the court.
