A Bomb Loaded with Mon.
A new bomb has been Invented t

A new bomb has been Invented that
Is an extremely curious affair.
1t is called a pioneer bomb and is
made to be fired from q cannon like al
ordinary cannon ball. Tile curious part
Of it is that instead Of carrying lead
and explosives it is to have men inside.
The idea OF the invention. explains
The Great Round World. is to fire sol
diers into the enemy's camp. The bomb
opens the moment it touches the ground,
the men spring out and begin to fight
the enemies within reach.
A shower Of these bombs would very
seriously Inconvenience an enemy, it Is
to be supposed, for they would not
quite know what to make Of such as
founding cannoo balls.
The bomb is SO arranged that there is
no sudden jar or shock to the men in
side. 1t is covered with a number Of
rubber tubes filled with air, like the
bicycle tires. These rubbers prevent the
men from any injury which might he
caused by reaching the groand SO sud
denly. The bomb bounds along like u
rubber ball once or twice, and the sol
diers are said to be quite comfortable
inside. Chicago Record.

Ipjnries to Character.


The late George Newport, F. r.
s., showed clearly, by many expert
ments, that ii insects were injured
accidentally or intentionally in their
larval or chrysalidal state these
insects showed traces Of the injury
in their perfect state. For instance,
if a foot were injured in a grub, Dr.
the place where the wing or anten-
ia would be developed in the pupa,
the foot, the wing or other organ
was defective in the perfect insect.
In like manner it constantly hap
pens that human character, when
mature, exhibits the DETACHMENT of
injuries done to it in its earliest
stages. We can trace imperfect fidel-
ity. imperfect honesty, imperfect
truthtulness aad many other blem'
ishes i'll the dispositions of u
friends to the unfortunate injuries
inflicted upon various sides of their
character Gy nurses, parents, teach
ers or companions i'll the early days

Because they could no longer endure
Moslem cruelty and oppression the
Christians Of Crete turned and .rebelled
against their tyrants. Tho Christian
powers of Europe sent their fleets and
blockaded the unhappy island so as to
starve the Cretan Christians into sub
mission once more to their Moslem OPP
pressors. 1t is a spectacle whose full in
fanny seems to be appreciated by only
one man i'll Europe. Gladstone, and he
is old and out of power. One week OF

There is one way in which the United
States miglN become involved in the
eastern question. Numbers of Greeks i'll
America are going home to fight the
Turk. Many of them are American citi-
zens. If the powers should in any way
endeavor to prevent the landing Of these
soldiers in Greece, and those who are
citizens of the United States should ap-
peal for profession to their government,
the United States would be bound to
take notice Of the matter.

There is no danger that ships bearing
the United States flag will be affected
in any way by the blockade of Crete.
The reason is the very good n that
there is no merchant ship floating the
United States flag within a thousand
miles of Crete. There are very few ships,
merchant or otherwise, floating the
American flag anywhere in the world
outside of cur own shores.

HOUSTON LETTER.
Nwos Of the Bayou City Happenings
for the Week Just Past.

Nr,os of the Bayou City Happenings
for the Week Just Past.
Houston. Tex, Feb. 6.-The momeh-
tons issue in this city just now Is the
nronosed amendment to the city char-
tor which Mayor Rice and a committee
Of aldermen have sent to Austin TO
Law before the Legislature. these
amendments will affect radical chang
es in the charter. and they have met
with much opposition from intluenual
quarters. Mayor Rice and MS COL
leagues, however, have determined 10
carry them through, If possible Inc
most important change proposed Is
the extension of the city limits, anu
the ACCESSIBILITY of this step is much
debated At present the city boundary
embraces three miles square with the
court house as a centre, and the pro-
nosal is to enlarge it to contain TOUR.
This would give Houston an area OF
sixteen instead of nine square miles
Those opposed to this scheme claim
that the city, with it's present area
cannot do more than support us run
ming expenses, and say that the ac-
uuisitino of new territory, carrying
with il the expense of laying out new
streets, improving outlying roads, ana
giving the acquired territory the nee
essary light and police protection,
would be the heighth of folly.
Another feature of Mayor Rice's
scheme, is the proposition to make
the offices of city recorder and city
physician appointive instead of elect
i've, as heretofore and to make the
street commissioner, while having the
office still an elective one, refer to the
mayor before arranging for the most
trivial detail of his department. At
first the reform in regard to making the
civic offices appointive, instead of cleo
tive, was much more sweeping, the
city marshal, city attorney and the
street commissioner coming within its
scope, but the opposition was so strong
that Mayor Rice was persuaded to
leave these offices to be filled as the
people might dictate, and contented
himself with binding the street COM
missioner hand and foot.
The proposed charter also authorizes
the, issue of 100000 additional bonds |
and this is bitterly condemned.
For the last two weeks. while the |
amendments were under consideration |
by the council, petitions protesting |
