Bullet. ,enected by Electricity

In Switzerland recently conducted
experiments show that the course of
bullets may be DETECTED by electric
wires. -Four wires We're strung parallel
to and T. isct away from the line of
fire at ,ne range near Thun. At inter
vals of 80 feet the course of the bullet
was marked by paper screens. A cur
rent of 5000 volts caused detection
of IS feet from the course, and toward
The wires at distance of 275 yards. A
Japanese rife threw a slender bullet
that went straight for the wires and
followed their course in close contact
until its energy was spent in friction.
Even cannon balls were affected by the
current.-Chic2go Inter Ocean.

a CHANGE OF POLICY As TO CRY
TAXES.
Has Been the Fashion heretofore
10 Dodge Their Payment--Big
Payers settiing IN.

Galveston, Texas. November 2i.-It h
said that local historians record the fact
that few years ago scarcely anyone paid
city taxes. The rich and poor, the high and
law, the banker and the laborer, all avoided
this burden with the same degree of sat-
isfaction. 1t was considered the proper
thing to do. In consequence OF this prac-
tce there was deficit to face In the city
treasury each year. Bonds were issued.
which called for interest and sinking funds.
and then there was waking up in munlci-
pal affairs and change of policy.
Now the man who escapes the payment Of
'axes is rare. During the past few days
large number OF suits have been filed In the
civil district court by City Attorney Smith
LOT the collection OF delinquent taxes. Suit
Will be instituted against everyone who ia
IN arrears, and payment will be enforced
by law. An examination OF the petitions
filed shows that the suits are all for small
amounts: The large property owners are
paying their taxes without word, and the
books of the city assessor and collector
are said to be in better shape than for
years.
The suits Instituted will be pushed with
yigor, and no guilty man will be allowed
to escape.
