THE DEADLY REPEATER.
Experiments show Terrible Destruc-
tive Force of Little Rife Balls.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.4when the War
Department decided to abandon the old
heavy-calibre Springfield rifle and arm the
troops with the Kra~g-Jorgensen small
calibre repeating rifle it was predicted by
the adherents of the old arm that the new
weapon would disappoint it's friends in its
lack Of destructive power. 1t would. they
admitted. have a greater range. but the
small steel bolt projectile, it was asserted,
would bore a clean hole through a mans
body that would not be as fatal as the
large wound inflicted by the big lead
Springfield bullet. Now all this prediction
has been disproved by experiments made
by the medical staff of the German army
and repeated by our bureau of military in
formation. The terribly destructive eff
fects of the new weapon appear strikinglyc
set out in this report. It Is said that the
wounds inflicted by the small-bore bullet,
Notwithstanding its diminutive size. are
highly destructive, owing to it's enormous
speed of rotation. which causes the tissues

or three-tenths of an inch for their rifle,
in 1892, and they were disposed to ~criticise
the Navy Department when 1t went beyond
them and still further reduced the calibre
Of their rifles to six millimetres, or .2S6
inches, only a trife larger han a twenty
two-calibre pocket pistol. But now, in the
last report, they concede that the tendency
of the best authorities seems to be towards
a still smaller calibre. Some professional
men even assert that the calibre should
never be larger than 65 millimetres. One re-
suit of the reduction Of calibre of the greatest
value for military purposes is shown by
the new navy rifle, which will shoot point
blank up to Us yards. This means that at
any distance within two-fifths of a mile
the men can shoot accurately without any
and are thus relieved from the necessity of
adjusting their sights for each range in

BUTLER's FOOTBALL ELEVEN.
Coach Flint is Selecting Men from
Excellent Material.

Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
IRvINGTON, Ind, Oct. AT the OPEN
ing Of the fall term Capt. AL Hall felt
that prospects for a good team at
Butler were rather discouraging. AS
he and Lister were the only members of
last years eleven left to represent the
team Ii was evident that an entire new
team would have TO be developed Manager
Carlos Rocker and Captain Hall at once
set to work to discover the quality of the
material with which they would have to
deal There were plenty of candidates for
position on the team, and practice games
have been kept up regularly from the start.
J. Marshal Flint. of Princeton football
fame. who was TO have ~captained the Uni
versity of Chicago eleven this fall. was Sc
cured as coacher, and for the past week has
been putting a select few through a sys-
tematic course OF training. From time to
time those who do not exhibit a great
amount Of promise nave been dropped until
the number of possible candidates has been
reduced to about twenty-five, and from
these two elevens for preliminary games
have been picked.
Training exercise is carried on with strict
regularity each day. and consists of gen.
eral calisthenics and gymnasium work in
doors and the mile run and 4-o'clock game
outdoors. Fifteen of the men are required
TO board at the hall, where a special bill of
fare Is provided, consisting chiefly of
bread. water and raw meat. Judging from
the quality of coacher Flint's work and the
improved condition of the men after one
weeks training. il is safe 10 say that Butler
Will put forward a creditabie team. The
material is good, although the majority of
the men lack experience. So many of the
players are so nearly equal in ability that
even after a selection of the team has been
made 1t may be changed several times be-
fore the season end Coacher Flint will
appoint the regular team the evening be-
fore the game against Purdue, Which will
be played next Saturday, at the Y. NJ. C.
A Park Butler will put up a good game,
for the team has practiced hard and had
careful coaching.

THE CAPTURE OF NIAGARA.
It's Power VIII Be Used to Turn the
Wheels Of Factories.

4. Jay Edwards, in McClure's Magazine.
Now that the plant Itself is all finished
which will send elect city over the wires.
the next problem to be worked out in prdc-
tice Is the purely commercial one whether
the power can be furnished to manufac-
turers, especially those at a considerable
distance, at a price profitable to them and
the company. The company itself, OF
course, and the able engineers and scien-
lists who are associated with it. have
no theoretical doubts about the commercial
success Of the undertaking. And. If it is
beginning of a prodigious revolution in the
manner of producing and delivering power.
In that case the time is probably net far
distant when all OF the considerable mills,
all of the lighting. much Of the traction
power of the region within 300 or 100 miles
OF Niagara Falls will be furnished With this
living energy which has been captured
from the Niagara cataract. There will be
created a considerable city at Niagara
Falls, and there will be a great develop
ment Of Buffalo as a manufacturing center.
Then considerable water powers in ether
sections of the country will be utilized, so
that the force OF them can he converted
into an electric current and delivered fer
commercial purposes to the towns within
a considerable radius.
1t was the first intention of the engineers
to carry the electric current from re row-
er house by means of wires stretched
through a subway conduit, whose beginning
may now be seen at a point near the power
house. But it has been discovered that the
toO - "tt ~ "
costly, and the electricity is 10 be trans
mitted by overhead wires. This Is the part
of the undertaking which Mr.. Tesla has de-
voted much thought to for several years.
He has assured the company that, by
means of inventions and scientific aIp!ica-
ton OF newly discovered principles which
he has been able to make, it will be posi-
bic to convey the current without very
great loss by induction or leakage. and url-
der absolute control, by thekuse of certain
transformers as far east as Albany. 1t is
Mr.. Iesla's opinion that this current can
sells from Albany to New York. The sci
entists believe that he is right. The city
OF Buffalo is persuaded that " is SO, and
already contracts for the delivery of as
much as ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS to that
city have been made. In a general Way Z
has been estimated that the power can be
delivered to any town within a distance
of three hundred miles at a cost of about
sl4 a year per horse power, ana for twenty
four hours a day. while il is estimated
taat the cost to the city of Buffalo win
be considerably less.

PURDUE
One of the Heaviest and Best Teams
the Champion Ever Had.

Special TO the indianapolis Journal.
LAFAYETTE. Ind, Oct. 1.-The opening
of Purdue University is always the occa-
sion for the manifestation of much genuine
enthusiasm in football. The team has
started In with a determination, not only
10 hold the State p%ennant, but to meet
the champions Of other States, with whom
in years past they have been frequently
more than a match. A L.. Fulkerson. left
guard on last years team. is captain. He
is a man of splendid physique. with quick
and accurate judgment. These qualities,
connected with a quiet, u~nassuming man.
ner. make him a great Inspiration to the
players. William Kennon, class of 80, is
business manager. He is well fitted for the
position and has the confidence of every
one. Mr.. Balliett, one Of the main sup
ports of the Princeton champions of last
year. is coacher. 1t may be said of Mr..
Balliett that there is no man in the West
who better understands football and who
Is better able to direct the work of a team.
The absence OF all unbecoming language
and conduct on the practice field is due
very largely to his manly bearing. The
team this year Is made up of good all
round men, who rank above the average
in their classes and who can afford to give
the time necessary for training to make
successful football men. There has been
splendid improvement during the three
weeks the team has been practicing. 1t
is not the purpose 10 develop star players,
but to improve the general team work. The

Experiments with the J~orgensen Re-
peating Rifle a Revelation to Old
FOgy Army Officers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. president Cleve-
land is expected to give his decision as
arbitrator Of the important boundary dis
pute between Brazil and Argentine Repub-
lie soon after his return from Buzzard's
Bay. Baron Rio-Branco, special envoy from
Brazil, accompanied by a large suite, is now
here awaiting the decision. The case has
been in Mr.. Cleveland's hands for eight
months, and, as the treaty Of arbitration
provides that the decision must be made
within a year, it is being looked for al
most any day. The time for the decision
expires Feb. 10. but. as Mr.. Cleveland will
be busy with Congress and public affairs
soon after his return, heeis expected to dis
pose of the arbitration question before TAX
ing up domestic affairs. 1t is understood
that he has made the arbitration his spe-
cial study during working hours at Buzz
yards Bay this summer II is a very com
plicated case, the brief of Baron Rio
Branco filling several large volumes, while
the maps, old treaties, ETC., and the briefs
of DIR. Zeballos, the Argentine minister,
make a fair-sized library. Mr.. Cleveland
has not turned this mass OF documents
over to the State Department, but has un-
dertaken personally to go through it and
unravel the dispute. 1t is a self-imposed
task which the President does out of cour-
tesy of the southern republics, and in the
extent of interests involved and legal COM
plications it is as large as any case pend
ing in the United States Supreme Court.
Mr.. Cleveland's decision will settle wheth-
err the eastern boundary of eastern Argen-
tina remains as usually given in the maps,
or is extended by a wedge-shaped proJec-
ton almost to the Atlantic coast. If Ar
gentine gains this strip 1t will have a con-
siderable effect on southern Brazil, as IL
will almost sever the great State of Rio
Grande do Sui from upper Brazil, the re-
naming connection being a very narrow
isthmuS compared with the general width
of Brazil. ON the other hand, it will give
Argentine a narrow arm of land, stretch
ing from the north to within forty leagues
OF the Atlantic.
Mr.. Cleveland's coming decision is await
ed with great interests by the southern en-
voys, as it means much TO the strategic
strength of the two dominant South Amer
lean countries. Moreover, the disputed ter
ritory is itself very valuable for its mineral
and agricultural resources. 1t embraces
1,S23 square miles, with towns and villages
having a population of 1888. most of them
Braziians. Mr.. Cleveland's arbitration is
the result of a treaty made when Dom Pc
dro was Emperor Of Brazil. 1t has taken
since then to make the surveys and pre-
sent the case, and Mr.. Cleveland's decision
will close the long controversy. He is
Obliged, under the treaty, TO give all the
disputed territory to Brazil or to Argen-
tina, so that there is no opportun..y for a
compromise which will satisfy both parties.

WASHINGTON, Oct. Capt. H. G.. Gale,
of the Fourth Cavalry, acting superintend-
ent of the Yosemite National Park, Cali
forina, has submitted his report to the Sec
rotary of the Interior. He says that there
are many MISUNDERSTANDING owing to the
private ownership of land in the park. 1t
would be wise, he believes. for the gov
eminent to purchase the timber land in
the park, and thinks it would be advisable
for a commission to be appointed to ap-
praise all and owned by private parties,
and learn if 1T could be secured. Game in
the park is on the increase, and larger
wild animals make their presence felt.
Forest fires have not been of any magni-
tude. He thinks the ~droppings from the
trees should be burned every year. be-
cause If allowed to it would
be disastrous. The report recommends a
reduction in the size of the park by with
drawing the mining and agricultural lands,
and advocates the adoption of natural in
stead of artificial boundary lines. The re-
duction in size would throw out about
twenty townships and leave the rest of the
park almost wholly in possession OF the
government.

vations, showing what has been done in
protecting them. He says that there are
great demands by the sheep men for pas
Iurage on these reservations. He consid-
ers the policy of making forest reservations
a good one, and suggests the extension OF
these national parks 10 include the land be-
tween the forest reserves and the park, and

and Kuykendall are the only members of
last years team, although Sandy, at right
end. was a substitute. Several changes
from the makeup of the eleven given above
will doubtless be made as the season adj
vances. Roller, at guard, is an experienced
man and a strong player. Heron. at
tackle, is a new man., somewhat light for
the position, but likely to retain the place.
Sandy and Tilden are playing a fair game
on the ends. At right tackle, Sedgwick is a
fixture. He is aggressive and a good
tackler. Reeve, at center. and Deerhake,
at guard, are new to their positions, but
give promise OF filling them acceptably.
Ballard, at quarter. is a new man, but has
played the same position on the eleven of
the Plainfeld Academy team, He is slow
at present, but is a hard worker, and will
prove a valuable man before the close of
the season. Captain Dunn plays at right
half back, and is sustaining the reputation
gained last year as a ground gamer. Shire
man, at left half, is a new man. who has
been on the field only two days, but whose
work ~justifies the assertion that he will
make a worthy partner to Captain Dunn
behind the line. Kuykendall, at full back,
is well known throughout the State as a
small, wiry back, whose rushes through
the line have always been productive of
good gains for DePauw.

GREENCASTLE, Ind, Oct. 7.-DePauw

playing the University of Illinois at Cham

capped in practice by delay in the arrival
