CHAPTER XIV,


stood with Djezzar on the ramparts
of Acre. On the night before, the outer
wall of the old tower had been shat
tered by the explosion of mine. A
few hours previously the French had
made two assaults in rapid succession,
both Of which were vigorously repulsed.
They were now hammering at the old
tower. with their batteries. Rent by
the explosion, blachened with powder,
dinted with shot, its rents patched with
beams of wood and bags of sand and
wool, its aspect was grim, tragic and
truculent, like that of some herculean
gladiator, covered with wounds, yet
fighting to the death. The reeking
debris which filed the ditch at its foot
was red with blood and strewn with
the headless bodies of the storming
party who led the last assault.
During the month which had elapsed
since my capture. and escape the Siege
had continued with varying fortunes.
It was Bonaparte's policy to give us no
rest. But in Phelippeaux, the COM
modore, and Djezzar he found foemen
worthy of his steel. In one sally alone
the pasha lost five hundred of his Maui
grabins, and more than half of his
brave Albanians had persisted. Yet, on
the whole, the advantage was with Us.
The French were getting short of am
munition; and, though their engineers
displayed great ingenuity, Phelippeaux
displayed more. He began to take the
offensive, pushing forward works which
were like to take Bonaparte's batteries
in reverse and force him to abandon the
siege.
To prevent this contamination the
French made night attacks. which were
always repuised with much heavier loss
to the enemy than to ourselves.
And then the luck turned for q time.
Col. Phelippeaux died Of exposure and
fatigue; and the French received sew
eral pieces Of heavy artillery from Jaffa
md powder from GAIA. The upper part
of the tower was demolished, and
breach made in the curtain wide
enough to admit fifty men march
ing abreast We began to look
anxiously for the feet of Hassan hey
with the long-expected and long-prom-
ised achievements Of Turkish troops;
for Of Djezzar's own troops there re-
remained only few hundreds. and
brave as these were and desperately as
they fought, it was impossible for them
to Withstand many more assaults, even
with all the help we could give them

The soldiers exclaimed to one another
ominously; and one of them, who, as !
observed, had a very short body on phe-
nomenally long legs, pointed at me,
shouting
"Look at him! Look at him! He

On this crowded on all sail and made

Novel Method OF PhotoRraphing an Enc

An exceedingly interesting English
invention consists of n camera COM
bined with parachute. especially de-
signed for obtaining photographs of
Notifications and of the camps of the
enemy; although pictures may also be
made for general surveying purposes.
The parachute is snugly folded in a
thin case at the end of rocket, which
Is fired to the required height and burst
open BY means of time fuse. The ex-
plosion sets free the parachute, which
is protected from injury by. means of a
casing Of asbestos. The parachute has
n mum Der of thin umbrella ribs, and
these are forced outward and kept in
that position by means of q strong spir-
al spring.
From the parachute q camera is sus-
pended, and a string held by the opera
tor is attached by q universal joint to
the bottom of the device, for the pur-
pose of pulling the parachute back.
The camera is fitted with an instan-
taneous shutter, operated by clock
work. SO as to give several exposures at
intervals. At the back of the box is an
arrangement by which the plates can
be manipulated the same as clockwork.

THE DEPLETED TREASURY.

Facts Concerning Republican Extraya-
gance Leaking Out.
Now that the election is over, and
the danger of immediate injury to the
political aspirations 7of the republican
party is past, the secretary of the
treasury is gradually admitting the de-
pleted condition of the nations fl
nances. The showing is one that
should condemn the e. o. p. for
for all time as utterly unworthy Of
public. confidence or trust. Official
salaries were withheld and the pay
ment of many obligations deferred, in
order to blind the people rs to the true
state of affairs, but now the dire re-
suits of billion-dollar congress are be-
ing exposed. The estimates for pen
sion appropriation were increased from
time to time until the aggregate is a
startling one, though probably below
the actual amount which will be re-
quired Nine millions have been APP
propriated for public buildings, yet not
o dollar has been expended, and con-
tracts could not be entered into be-
cause there are no funds with which to
meet the expenses thus incurred.
Representative Dingley, of Maine,
shows himself republican statesman
of the regulation gauge He has not
examined the treasury report or in
formed himself Of its contents, but,
with a lame attempt at whitening sar-
casm, SAYS: 1.-THE democrats are never
happy unless they are trying to prove
to the world that the United States is
on the verge of bankruptcy" He is of
the same pattern of man as that Ohio
justice of the peace who, on having an
alleged criminal arraigned before him,
said: 81 don't know anything about
this here case and don't want to know
anything about it. / have satisfied
myself that the prisoner at the bar is a
democrat, and therefore pronounce him
guilty as charged"
But Representative Mcmillan. of
Tennessee, one Of those officially en-
gagged in an investigation of the
treasury, treats the matter in the
way its Importance demands, and
money is to be accounted for. desire.
They have q right to know the condi-
ton of the treasury, and they demand
full information on the subject It is
not a matter of affecting the financial
standing of the nation in the eyes of the
world, but of learning the exact situa-
ton. with view of intelligently meet
ing its require ments. If the steward
ship of the republican party is shown
to have been false and corrupt. If wan
ton extravaganza has brought about a
depletion of the treasury, any attempt
to conceal the fact would simply place
