AGONY OF BEING L1oN-sTALKED
Adventure ofRobinson on the African
Veldt at Night.
From "a Nobody in Mashonaland.'

From "A Nobody in Mashonaland-''
We came upon man who was compla-
Gently skinning lion he had shot the
night before. 1t was big beast, with
terrific teeth, and paws as big as a soup
plate. Each claw was curved dagger,
and it was easy to imagine what such an
animal would do with a man. One blow
would crush in the head like an eggshell.
This man told US that he was asleep under
his wagon, with little dog sleeping on
his chest, when he was awakened by the
dog whining in a peculiar way. For a
moment he was unable to realize where
he was, and was on the point of spring
ing up. Fortunately he had the presence
of mind to smother this natural impulse,
and remained perfectly still.
The moon was a its last quarter, but
the sky was obscured by the drifting
clouds, so that the light was fitful and
poor, even when the clouds left the moon
clear for a second. AS it happened, he
was Just in the position to see the lion,
which was looking through the wheel of
the cart at the horror stricken dog, which
remained on the breast of his master,
shaking with terror. The man-Robin-
son, think, was his hume, or Robbins
kept himself from moving even an eyelid.
He did not know for certain whether the
lion was after him or the dog. He dared
not throw the dog of, for fear that the
movement would precipitate an attack,
and he did not like to reach for his rife
lying by his side for the same reason.
Presently the lion moved away from
that particular wheel and started circling
around the wagon with the utmost de-
liberation, and so softly that the strained
ears of the sweating Robinson could only
Just hear it. His position was of the most
unpleasant kind, for he dared not move,
and when the lion stopped at the other
side, out of his line of vision, he suffered
torture sufficient to turn his hair gray
The lion might at any moment put in his
terrible paw and claw out his supper by
the leg. The suspense became unendur-
able, until, little by little, Robinson was
able to obtain possession of his rife and
get into some sort of position. After
circling around for half an hour, the lion
stopped by its old place, but little to the
left of the wheel, so that Robinson's legs
were lying within conveniently easy ac-
cess. The animal Crouched down and
was in the act of reaching for Robinson.

effect.

rHE DEADLY sHRAPNEL.
A Missile Which Carries Destruction
With it for Many Men.
From the Chicago Tribune.


. board of artillery officers selected by
Gen Miles will set to work to-day to try
to find out how that caisson of Battery
F containing shrapuel happened TO blow
up on Grand Boulevard. The board will
hold its sessions at Camp Miles, Brighton
Park.
( Everybody Is talking about the deadly
shrapnel. There is some wild guessing
as to its killing powers. The f1ftY-three
shrapnel which exploded were made at
the Frankfort Arsenal at West Troy,
NY They were of 3.2-inch caliber to fit
the new breech loading rifles. A shrap-
mel shell for one OF these guns weighs
complete thirteen pounds. Its she'll is of
cast-iron. and the head and base pieces
are screwed on. Within, near the tip, is
powder chamber, which contains
bursting charge of 20 ounces of black
powder Back of this, arranged in lay
ers, are the killing missiles. There are
l62 lead balls that run forJY-one to the
pound arranged in layers. Between the
layers are cast-iron separator rings hol
lowed out 10 allow the balls TO rest
deeply in them. When the explosion
comes these oriugs burst into a great
number Of jagged fragments that make
frighful wounds. 1t is expected that
these rings will make $50 missiles, and
the shell itself will burst into from ten
to twenty more.
The Frankfort shrapnel all have COM
bination brass fuses screwed into their
tips. These fuses are complicated ma
chimes, arranged to explode either as
time fuses or on percussion. A series of
holes about the circumference of the
brass nipple which covers the fuse makes
it possible to set the time-fuse anywhere
up to-twelve@ seconds. The principle of
these fuses is simple. One of them con-
sists essentially of a brass tube, which
contains sliding cylindrical box, tipped
with illuminate and loaded with a small
quantity OF powder. At the forward end
of the brass tube is a sharp plunger, and
the illuminate box is held back from this
by a safety wire. When the shell
strikes the shock breaks the wire, the
illuminate box drives forward on this
plunger. the illuminate explodes. set fire
to the powder behind it, and that in turn
| fires the main charge in the powder
chamber
Driven by one of the long 32-inch guns,
these shrapnel do awful work In battle
the idea is to burst them by a time-fuse
at about forty yards in front of the enemy.
Then the rain of bullets flies out in cone
shaped mass-the cone of dispersion"
military men call it, 1t is nicely calcu-
lated that at forty yards this cone will
have spread to its most effective area for
style of firing shrapuel, especially at
bodies of cavalry, is to aim at the ground
just in front Of the enemy; the empact
sets off the percussion fuse and the
charge bursts just as the shell rises on
its first ricochet, which throws the hail
of bullets slightly upward and plays
havoc with the horses.

JACK TARs ON A STRIKE.
They Refuse to Work Because Their
Pay Was Held Back.
From the Philadelphia Press.


New York, July 19.-The American
spirit which permeates the hearts of the
sailors on the United States flagship San
Francisco has found expression in a novel
way. When they were ordered over the
side at 5 O'Clock on Wednesday morning
to shovel the coal from the lighters into
baskets and pass it in through the coaling
ports, they went into the lighters as or
dered and commenced work. They went
through all the motions of actual labor
and the baskets passed in and out
through the gaping holes in the cruiser
white sides. But there was no coal drop
ping into the bunkers.
They wanted their pay which Capt.
Watson has repeatedly refused them.
When the ship came to New York they
all looked forward to having a pleasant
run ashore with lots of money to spend.
The San Francisco came to the navy
yard and they were given liberty, but
still money was refused them. They sent
the chief petty officers to the mast TO ask
Capt. Watson to issue monthly money,
but their representatives, they claim,
were put off. The motto of the ship be-
came tomorrow"
The strike lasted all day, but toward
night Capt Watson relented. The engi-
neers' division, composed of the firemen
and coal beavers, were paid of The next
to draw their money were the, servants,
Chinese and Japanese in the powder di-
vision. This made the blood of the
American sailors in the lighters boil, but
they waited and said nothing Next came
the joyful news that ''all were to be paid
of" The strike was broken. The men
returned TO their work aud the coal com
menced to pour into the bunkers.

A VALUABLE OLD SHOE.
The Receptacle for Family HeirIooms
and Jewelry Given Away.
From the Philadelphia Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Ledger.
An old shoe containing six diamond
rings and brooch set with diamonds,
valued in all at S400, was given away with
its mate to poorly dressed young man
few days ago, and now the Germantown
police are looking for the article ard its
valuable contents.
Mrs. Walter Leonard of Rittenhouse
street. Germantown. was called to the
door several days ago by tramp, who
asked for pair of old shoes or some dis
carded mems clothing. She tod the man
to return later, when her husband would
be home. The visitor called at the time
set, and Mr. Leonard went to one of the
upper rooms and took from one of the
closets two pairs of trousers and two
pairs of shoes that he had discarded and
gave them to the visitor, who left imme-
diately. --
About a half hour later it suddenly
dawned on Mrs. Leonard that she had
placed portion of her Jewelry in an old
shoe belonging TO her husband and went
shoe away. She looked in the closet and
found the shoe had disappeared, and imme-
diately informed her husband, who
started in pursuit of the man, but was
unable to find him.
The jewelry had long been in the pos
session of the family. The .Leonards are
said TO have had some experience with
burglars, and had adopted this plan of
checkmating them.

Actresses Attraction for Towels.
From the Boston Post.

1t is said by the conductors of Pullman
cars and the housekeepers of hotels that
actresses have charming manners, and
are amiable to degree to the servants,
but that they have absolutely no con-
science as far as towels and soap are con-
cerned. They are obliged to pack and
unpack their trunks frequently while
they are on the road. and carry many
small articles in their baggage that
should be carefully wrapped up before
being placed in their trunks But the
young women of the stage never bother
themselves about asking for wrapping
paper. They use the towels in their own
or the adjoining rooms. When they leave
one hotel they use half dozen towels to
wrap up things and when they arrive at
the next hotel they toss the older towels
out on the floor and take the cleaner ones
at hand. Fora time the hotel men I'M
dertook to send back the towels taken
from other hotels, but this practice has
been given up. Soap is appropriated in
much the same way.
