KILLED BY 4 FLYING SHOT.

slower than the shot, SO, while the ewes
of tho men were turned in the direc-
ton in which the shot had gone, the
rail did its work without being seen,
and had the soldier been killed we
would naturally have thought that the
simple force of the shot did it, as there
was the blue mark across his breast.
During the battle of Brandy Sta
ton, Va, June 9, 1868, a shell passed
very close to me, flying not more than
twenty-four inches from my right side.

THE only sensation I experienced
was dreadful pressure, and, though
my right leg was pressed hard against
the horse, l received no more serious

Again. on the morning of April o,
1865, at Appomattox, a shell passed
through the ranks of my company,

our rear was the Twelfth Virginia cav

standing to horse, ready to mount.
This smell struck an outside horse in
the flank and went straight through
him, cutting linn literally in two. An
hour afterward, was told the soldier

WORKING A FLASH
Moro Advantage Gus Than the Or.
binary Explosive Powders.
Just the Thing for Amateur Phetegr.-
phers-H0w to Construct . simple Yet
Effective Torch for Burning Pure
Kagnesium Powder.

Amateur photographers, and some
professionals, find in the fash light a
great accession to their Photographic
properties, inasmuch as it enables them
to produce really creditable work at
times and in places which would prove
disadvantageous if daylight had to
be depended upon.
For such subjects as require instan-
taneous work, the explosive powders
are useful, and perhaps in the majority
of cases necessary, but for nine-tenths
of the work fash lights of the torch
type, using pure magnesium powder,
without any explosive, answers per-
fectly, while it has the advantage OF
producing less,offensive smoke.
The annexed engraving, says the
Scientific American, shows an exceed
ingly simple and very effective torch
for burning pure magnesium powder.
1t is similar to some found at the
stores; it differs mainly in the matter
of construction and materials. A vial
three inches high, and one inch in
diameter, forms the receptacle for the
powder. The neck of the vial is large
enough to receive small rubber or
cork stopper rubber preferred) having
two perforations. In one is inserted a
tube having its lower end projecting a
quarter of an inch below the stopper,
this end being contracted so that it's
aperture is about one thirty-second
inch in diameter, or about as large as
good sized pin. This tube is curved
over to receive the rubber pipe by
which the blast Is furnished to the ap-
paratus.
In the other aperture Of the stopper
is inserted piece of tubing of about
three-sixteenths inch internal diameter
and a length of three and three-quarters
inches. The tubes may be of glass or
brass.
A wire spiral bent into circle and
connected at the ends receives roll of
wooden cloth, or better filling of as
bestos fiber, and the end of the wire
forming the spiral is bent at right an
giles, and wrapped around the tube. A
quarter-inch space is left all around
the tube. between the tube and the
inner portion Of the spiral. The vial is
one-quarter or one-balf filed with fine,
pure magnesium powder, and the
fbrous material in the wire spiral is
saturated with alcohol. When all the
preparations for the exposure have
been made, including lighting the alco-
hol, the operator blows strongly
through the rubber tube; the concen-
trated jet stirs up the powder in the
vial thoroughly, and the air escaping
through the longer tube carries the
powder through the fame, thus pro-
ducing spire of fame about two feet
high. Several puffs may be made if
the subject is one requiring strong IL

John II. Carlisle, of Little Rock, Ark,
Nvas in the thick of some of the most
noted skirmishes of the civil war, and
narrowly escaped death more than
once. His father served under COM
mand of Beauregard, and one of his
brothers was in the Eighth Virginia
regiment that went up the hill in Gen.
Pickett's division at Gettysburg, July 8,
1868, and was one of the thirty men
that were alone left out of the $50 that
climbed the hill on that memora bic

Says Mr. Carlisle in the st. Louis Re-
public: II was anxious to know if either
NV father or brother in all their war
time experiences had personally known
of death being caused by the passage
of a shot or shell without their even SO

effect of passing shell as anyone who
has lived to tell such things, and as far
as my personal opinion goes [ do not
think that death ever resulted from the
mere force of passing shot or shell,
without their striking The body. Those
deaths reported to have resulted from
such occurrences l think were due to
other causes.
During the Maryland campaign a
young soldier by the name of Selman.

killed by flying shot, but in a few
moments he rose to bis feet and took
his place in the sltirmish line, appar-
emily all right, except for pain in his
breast, across whic-i there was dark

was from the shot, which must have
struck him, but were all much sur

had been inflicted, not by a shot, but
by piece of fence rail.
