not daze the Mlssissippian, however, for
In his rage he reached over the long table
and grabbed up large square inkstand
and threw it at Hall But the blood from
his wound blinded him and he missed his
aim, and it passed over Halls shoulder
and just missed flooring Representative
Wilson, for had the inkstand struck either
one on the head it would have inflicted
q fatal wound.
The noise in the committee room natur-
ally attracted great attention, for there
were many persons in the corridor outside
the room. Tom Coakley, of New York,
the messenger of the committee, rushed
in and, seeing Money about to rush to-
wards Hall, grabbed the Mississippian and
a fierce struggle resulted, but he succeeded
In dragging him to the door and pulling
him out of the room into the corridor
Meanwhile Clerk Bartlett, General Myer
and Commodore Fithian rushed towards
Hall and they were just in time, for he
had drawn a knife and was making to-
wards the struggling Mississippian as he
was being dragged from tho room. Mr..
Wilson, seeing the new danger, ran TO the
door and shut and locked it, thus separat
ing the men and keeping the crowd out.
Mr.. Money was taken down stairs to tho
room of the committee on war claims,
where his wounds were dressed, and after
that he went to his hotel IL was found
that his injuries were not severe. His head
was cut from the blow of the sponge stand
and his face was bruised and scratched.
His coat sleeve was cut as with a knife,
and cut on his hand looked as if done
with the same instrument Hall and
Money have not been very friendly since
che former went over to the Sound money
ranks, for Money is free silver man and
was elected senator on that platform by
lhs Mississippi legislature.

Emperor Titus. Thus it was when
Pompeii was buried. When next the
sun shone into her streets George III
was King of England. Sixteen years
before the burial of the city an earth
quake had done so much mischief that
the ruin was not yet quite restored
but Mt. Vesuvius had been quiet ever
since. The Oath of August was ter
ribly hot day.
Most of the people were in the am
phitheater, at wild beast fight, when
they saw a strange cloud rise from
Vesuvius. 1t seemed like a pine tree;
the trunk rose up high into the heav-
ems and then spread out in branches
some white, some dull and spotted
until, slowly detaching themselves
from the parent trunk, they began to
darken the sky. Pliny the elder, over
at Misenum, was reading in his study
when his sister came in to tell him of
this strange cloud. He ordered a light
galley to be got ready, and as he was
coming out, with his tablets in his
hand, ready to note down all he saw,
the mariners belonging to the galleys
at Retina came up to implore him to
go to their help.
By the time Pliny got there with
his galleys the ashes were falling
thicker every instant. Then came
broken and blackened stones and pu-
mice. Vast fragments were rolling
down the mountain, and the sea had
suddenly retreated. The pilot was
for putting back, but the undaunted
old philosopher-admiral would not 60
back. "Fortune," he said, "favors
the brave" Everybody knows some
thing about the rest, and how the
poor old gentleman, being weakly and
asthmatic, was suffocated by sudden
outburst of flames and sulphur fumes.
In that awful darkness, when the sud-
den rush of flames was the only light
which pierced the dense smoke, the
fields were full of terrified people fee
ing they knew not whittier. 1t is
true that the destruction was not in
stantaneous, and great number of
the inhabitants saved their lives, and
even took away a good deal of their
treasure but it is estimated that at
least 200, 900 persons were entombed
in Pompeii, Herculaneum and the
other cities of the plain.
The unearthing of Pompeii, which
began in 1850, and which is still going
on, shows that there is little difference
in the life of today and the life of
1900 years ago. People wrote on
walls and cut their names on. seats,
just as we do now. They had stands
for public vehicles, and the school
master used birch on the ounces.

A NOVEL EXPERIMENT.
The Result Of Firing Cannon Under
Water.

water.
The most curious experiment ever
made with piece of ordnance was at
Portsmouth, England. A stage was
erected in the harbor within the tide
mark on this an Armstrong gun Of
the 11O-pound pattern was mounted.
The gun was then. loaded and care
fully aimed at a target-all this, OF
course, during the time of low tide.
A few hours later, when the gun and
the target were both covered with
water to a depth of 6 feet, the gun
was fired by means of electricity
We said "aimed at the target" but
the facts are that there were two tar
gets, but only one was erected for this
special experiment, the other being
the hull of an old vessel, the Griper,
which lay directly behind the target
and in range of the ball. The target
itself was placed only 25 feet from the
muzzle of the gun. 1t was composed
of oak beams and planks, and was 81
inches thick. In order to make the
old Griper invulnerable, sheet of
boiler plates 8 inches thick was rivet-
ed to the water-logged hull in direct
range with the course the ball was
expected to take if not DETECTED by
the water. On all of these-the oaken
target, the boiler plates and the old
vessel hull-the effect of the shot from
the submerged gun was really start
ling. The wooden target was pierced
through and through, the boiler.iron
target was broken into pieces and
driven into its "backing," the ball
passing right on through both sides
of the vessel, making huge hole,
through which the water poured in
torrents. Taken altogether, the expe-
riment was an entire success, demon
strating, as it did, the feasibility of
placing submerged guns in harbors in
times of war and doing great damage
to the vessels which an enemy might
dispatch to such points for the pur-
pose of shelling cities.-Invention.

s@ A writer in The Fortnightly Re-
view describes the condition of the
100000 British farmers as almost des-
perate. The thriving herds have dis

sG A curious custom obtains in
some portions of Spain in regard to
betrothals. A young man who looks
with favor upon handsome senorita,
and wishes to gain her hand, calls on
the parents for three successive days at
the same hour of the day. At the
last call he leaves his walking stick,
and if he is to win the desired bride
the cane is handed to him when he
calls again. But if he is not regarded
with favor, the cane is thrown into
the street, and in this way the young
man is made to understand that furth-
er calls will be useless.

Cyrus ". Higglegag, connected with
the hardware firm of F. W. Ringleoup
& Co., Chicago, is man of unintep-
tional eccentricity. l say unintentional,
because have noticed that the major
ity of men whom we term eccentric are
not only wide awake to their own Pc
ouliarities, but seem to be ever cultl-
waiting them to a higher state of oddity.
Higglegag's strangeness- rude remark
or brusque action-appeared to spring
from sort Of nervousness that at times
came upon him. Not long ago he made
a business visit to q southern town, one
of those delightful places that has reach.

suburbs a dove softly COOS above an old
negro who dozes in the shade, where
the lolling dog is almost too lazy to get

Higglegag strolled along the street.
He had one of his nervous fits, but
would have resented an insinuation that
he might possibly be eccentric. He met
q young woman whom he had for some
time been watching, just as another
woman had passed.

dressing the young woman.
"What?" she exclaimed

it no more for 16 centuries. Yet this
is what happened to Pompeii and
