AVALANCHE OF SCOT.
Malicious Mischief on the Part OF a
Workman on the Roof OF tho
CITY Hall

One OF the workmen employed in lay
ing cement roof on the City Hall amused
himself yesterday afternoon by throwing
chunks OF mortar down the chimneys on
the Larkin-street wing of the building.
The result was that tons of SCOT were
dislodged and descended into the rooms
on the different floors. Chief Crowley
was talking to commissioner Gunst and
another gentleman In his office when the
SCOT poured into the room. covering the
Chief from head TO feet and the greater
portion of the carpet and furniture. Com
missioner Gunst and the other gentle man
escaped by rushing out OF the room.
Captain Lees happened to be out OF his
office and escaped the avalanche OF SCOT.
His carpet was covered with several
inches of the SCOT, and it took one OF the
]anitors nearly all the afternoon TO
stralghten out things in .he Chiefs and
captains Offices. The rooms in the base
ment did not escape.

declares the prisoner "not guilty. And
that public opinion should in this era so
strongly tend to sustain man who does
to death the defiler of his family, on the
whole, is rather more remarkable fact,
perhaps, than that Kentucky justice
should deliver howery and rather uu-
wise speech in enforcing the "uuwritten
law"
For this is held to be the age Of "emRn-
cipation," of the progressive woman, who
declares her equality with man in all
particulars, the age of beneficient ioono-
clasm and destructive criticism of old
creeds and conventions. If the "new
woman's" theories had really gained many
believers the old ideas of family honor,
the saactity of the home and wifely fidelity
would not 30 generally prevail.
1t is never true that two wrongs make
right, of course, and the Kentucky
slayer has not improved his ohildren's
heritage by adding bloodshed to the list
of family crimes. Nor will the dishonor
of the family name be made the sooner
forgotten because of his deed.
But sober reason has little to do with
such cases. and the recurrence of the fact
is chiefly interesting as reminder of how
pitifuly small the influence of vehemently
proclaimed doctrines has been upon the
social system.

A GREAT INVENTION.

Colonel VIM. H. Bell of the u. 8. army,
stationed at the present time at the Pre-
sidio of San Francisco, is said to have in
vented projectile which promises to
restore to usefulness S3,0O0,O00 worth of
old smoothbore cannon of rebellion
times, which are lying loose around the
United States.
The old round shot which used to be
fred from the smoothbores was never
effective, as there was great loss of power
by the escape of gases around the edges
of the ball, and after it left the cannon the
wind banked up against its sides and
swerved 1t from it's mark. Conicsl pro-
jectiles we're given rapid twist in their
flight by being fred from the rifed gun,
but the operation was expensive. Such
are the great weapons of today, which
have the fault that the balls are apt to
tumble. Colonel Bells invention, it is
claimed, secures the necessary rotary
twist in the air without the necessity of
being fired from a riled gun, and his pro-
jectile has not the fault OF tumbling. In

A Matter of News That Made a Lovers

He was frequent visitor at the home

her sisters and mother by his digniiied be-
havior and sensible conversation. lie
would probably have had the same graft
flying effect upon her father, but as the
latter was completely immersed in his
business he was ut home very littlo of the
time, and whom he was he generally be-
took himself to his study in a quiet cor
ner of the house. The young man had
dim recollection of being introduced to
him once and speaking a word or so, but
since that time had not seen him at all.
However, this didn't bother him much,
and his love affair came to a focus rapidly.
When he asked the young lady to become
his wife, she referred him to her father.
"I'll see him tomorrow, dear" he re-
piled.
''No, | don't think you can, she an
swered; ''hes going out of town on long
business trip tomorrow evening, and SO
will not be here when you come"
"By Jove, then" responded the young
man, ''I'll drop in on him at the office"
The next day he turned up at the place
of business Of his idols father. He knew
he was president of the concern. He made
his way into the presidents office and
there confronted a very busy gentleman
indeed. Asking for a moment of the lat
ter's time, he said, II have come to ask you
for your daughters hand"
The man addressed stopped, turned
around and looked at him a moment and
then said, "I'm sorry to tell you, young
man, but my daughter was married a
week ago"
Without waiting for an explanation, the
horror stricken sutton rushed from the
building He hailed a cab and drove
madly to the young lady's home.
"What--what does it all mean?" he
gasped as soon as he saw her. "Speak!
What does it meanp have just seen your
father at his Office and he says that you
we're married a week ago!'
why Henry" she calculated in
tone of astonishment "my father Why
he left for New York last night"
A little further conversation revealed
the fact that Henry had been talking to
his partner. Chicago Times Herald.

| shape it is an ordinary oonical shot. In
it's bore is hollow capable of holding a
considerable quantity of slow-burning
powder. A plug screws into this hollow,
holding the powder securely within.
Around the edges of this plug are series
of grooves leading into the powder cham
Der, and bored at an angle opposite the
direction in which the projectile is ex-
peoted TO twist, and thus bores its way
through the air, which il does on the same
principle that makes the Fourth of July
pinwheel revolve when it is lighted.
A charge of quick-burning powder is
dropped into the smoothbore cannon and
the projectile 10 pushed upon it. The
fuse is attached and the cannon fred. The
quick-burning powder expels the pro-
ieetile and lights the SLOW burning powder
through the grooves. This begins to act
at once, accelerating the speed and mi
tiating the twist even before leaving the
cannon. The speed ia said to actually
increase while the projeotile is in the air,
and until the powder ia burned out the
rotary motion continues to accelerate the
ball.
The war department is about to make
tests with view of adopting this pro-
jectile for use by the artillery of the
regular army.

MARQUIS ITo, the Japanese nobleman
now in Europe, who is doing great deal
of talking over the annexation question,
hastens to contradict the rumor that he ia

He now thinks that the problem will be
solved without any rupture of the friend
ly relations existing between the gov
ernments Of the United States and Japan.
Not if the Japanese continue to pour in
soldiers into Hawaii in the Disguise of
workingmen. Judging from the policy
of that government during the past few
months, rupture of relations is the most
