The human race ia nearly ten CEN
turtles ol,les than science had knowl-
edge OF before. as a result Of the ex-
tensive explorations OF the ruins Of
Miller, near ancient Babylon, as de-
scrIbed in a report to the state de-
partment by minister Terrell, at
Constantinople. These explorations
are being made at the expense OF
Philadelphians, and DR.. Peters and
Prof. HilprIchl, ,ot the University OF
pennsylvania, have supervised the
work. Many tons Of tables, vases,
Inscribed brick, sacophaai and the
like have been exhumed. The SEN
sual and revolving worship of the
God Bel is now more clearly known,
his colossal temple, with its 13O
rooms, has been exposed, and the
religion. government and customs
OF men who lived 1000 years before
Christ have been revealed by the
translated inscriptions. Minister
Terrell says il will require sixty vol
umns 10 contain the descriptions Of
these marvellous discoveries.

SHOOTING m TEXAS.


Mot Indulged In SO PromiscuOusly as P@o-
pie Have Been Led TO Imagine.
IL is generally believed by the outside
world that the Texan carries his life in
his hip pocket. This is mistake, says
letter to the Philadelphia North
American. Our most facile shooters
carry their revolvers just under the left
arm. The real artist knows the minute
differences in shooting ''on the rise"
and ION the drop" The technique mas
tered, the cause for action claims atten-
ton. Any assault upon the fair name
of woman is almost certain to be fol-
lowed by sudden death. For such causes
ms this one must shoot. Imputations
upon ones veracity or honesty, family
feuds, quarrels and drunken brawls
cause the remainder of the homicides.
For such causes as these one may shoot.
Men shoot each other in Texas on
lesser ground than this, but they do not
shoot on such slight provocation as the
tenderfoot has been led TO believe.
They do not shoot visitors for wearing
IN stiff hat, for refusing to drink, nor
for continually referring to the better
things "back east" have never lived
among people who were as Indifferent
to the peculiarities of strangers or re-
cent immigrants. However, the Canni-
bal islands are no more dangerous fields
for the missionary than is Texas for the
airy, aggressive prig who insists on re-
forming us to his standardsout Of hand.
/ have known several men in Texas
who have killed their man; o few who
have killed two or three. Some of them
were boasters, who, after their TRACE
dies, degenerated into bravos; others
were high-minded. high-spirited gen.
tlemen who had killed some bully for
mortal offense or MS defense from
deadly assault, and who bore the agony
OF the tragedy in humility and silence
Homicide hardens and wrecks the
tough; it saddens and overwhelms the
gentleman. As IA means of securing
Justice between men IL is least satis-
factory of all known methods. 1t is the
poorest kind of test Of righteousness
The villain In often a cooler hand and
better marlzsman than injured virtue,

doom the betrayer deserves

An New ProJectile That VIII Disable Mea
Rather Than XIII Them.

An New ProJectile That VIII Disable Hfea
Rather Than XIII Them.
Gen. Tweedie has designed bullet
which Is thought highly Of by English
ordnance experts, and is IN their opin-
Ion something that will meet long-felt
want, says the New York Times.
The new sman-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 10 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 o
wounded man az the moment requires
one or two men to look after him, while
the dead man is for the time let alone.
IL the wound, however. is one that
hardly makes its existence known the
immediate object may not be answered.
A savage especially would despise .
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. Tweedie's bullet has 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 flight, 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 be
much more efficient against thin iron
or steel plate for the same reason
namely, that it makes o much larger
hole and acts particularly well in
oblique impact. OF course il viii 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 of an armor-piercing projectile,
the objection can stand, says a prom
inent ordnance authority, and, as the
Tweedie bullet possesses almost all OF
the qualities required, it seems very
probable that extensive experiments
will be made to prove its superiority to
other small-arm bullets in use to-day.

II
York legislature an effort will be
made to pass bill providing for the
administering OF corporal punishment
upon finale persons convicted Of q
felony consisting of or accompanied
By the inAiction Of physical pain. I"
One OF the most jealous advocates OF
the proposed law is Elbridge +. Ger
ry, who recently said TO a reporter
for the New York Recorder:
"Crime of the more brutal and
fiendish character is frightfnlly on
the increase, especially in the case
where children of both sexes are the
victims. Instances in whicn lifelong
injuries have been inflicted OH girls
and boys Of tender age are becom-
ing SO numerous that il is time some
thing was done TO strike at the very
root Of the evil, and | am sure the on
ly weapon that can be effectively MS.
ell against the brutes who. IN their
passions, exhibit no thought or feel.
ing for their victims, is the lash.
"Once let the brutal element or the
community know that the pain and
suffering inflicted by them on others
will be meted out OH their own bod
les and tho shocking state OF affairs
now existing will be to a great wiped
ont. Burglary, with violence, ASSAULT
Of any brutal nature-thnse are the
offenders who, 1 maintain, should
feel the sting Of the lash. A convic-
lion Of twenty years. reduced by good
behavior to twelve, has no salutary ef-
fecton the Gallons element with which
| am dealing.
"As an Instance, you, q law-Rbid-
ing, peaceful citizen, are enjoying q
we'll earned rest a burglar, not sat
isfed with plumber, deliberately
knocks you over the head, puts Jour
eyes out, t,crushes IN your skull, mains
you, beats you, and for this he gets
twenty years. Is that any satisfac.
tion to you ? Do you get a new eye
Or another skull /? No! Then say
let his punishment be proportionate
ia some degree 10 the offense. There
seems 10 be q mawkish sensibility in
The opposition 10 corporal punish

ment known, and it is to be found i'll

make the exhibition public. IN Del
ware they have curious method. A
felOn il sentenced to thirty lashes, ff-
teen of which are administered. lie
IS then told to get ont of the state.
and il he is found there after the lapse
Of a week the balance Of tho thirty
lashCs await him. The plan works
admirably.
"Again, in London, when the
garruters were IeFrorlzIng the city,

to play with such effect that CARROT
