and the castle tower. The bars are three
feet wide, two red, the centre being
of faded yellow. The flag is rent in
numerous places from pieces of burst

bunting is dimmed here and there by
blotches of Spanish blood.

The Earliest journal

The Oldest newspaper in the world
is not, as is generally stated, the thou
sand-year-old Kin Pan, OF Pekin. but
the Tsing-Pao, or Pekin News, which
was first published more than SOC
years before the Norman conquest. and
which has been published without In
termission for nearly 1.400 years
The Tsing-Pao has the appearance
of a yellow-backed magazine of TWEEN.
ty-four octave pages, each page con.
sisting of seven columns and each
column consisting of seven "charac.
ters." Two editions are published-an
edition ue luxe for the Court and the
upper classes in China, at a cost of
"A cents per month; and an edition
inferior in paper and printing, which
costs 16 cents Il month.
The TsingPao is the Times of China
and chronicles the wealth and move
ments of the Emperor, the life a,
Court, and the reports of Ministers
1t is painfully significant that every
error in printing the latter is punished
with death.

BEATS A BOOMERANG.
THIS BULLET JUMPS OVER A MAN AND
HITS HIM IN THE BACK.

A Person VIII Not He safc From an Enemy
Standing on the Opposite Side of a House
If the Claims of a Young English In.
ventor Are True.
The man who flatters himself that he
is safe because he is behind house
when another man is firing off gun
at the other side, had better get rid OF
that ridiculous notion once and for all.
For young inventor claims to have
discovered a wonderful new way OF
making bullets; and if the new bullet
meets with that popularity which its
remarkable abilities appear to warrant,
it won't be quite safe to be in a bal
loon while an effort is being made to
fire down a well. In short, the new
what is claimed for it, upset all old
fashioned notions of the laws govern
!ng the flight of projectiles.
Arthur Chalk of Church Place, High
street, Mapping, is the young inventor
in question, and he yesterday told a
Daily Mail reporter that this new bull
let of his would go around corners,
suddenly shoot up in the air and de-
scend point first on top of town or
anything, or fly round and round and
then jump back and kill off an enemy
at the back of the man who fired it.
Il am but eighteen years of age"
said Mr.. Chalk modestly "and | am
confident that have invented bullet
that will revolutionize fighting What
l claim, and am prepared to prove, is
that with my bullet | cav hit an object
that is round a corner or on the other
side of block of houses. There is alb
solutely no doubt about the accuracy
of the aim. Supposing, now. you
wanted to hit something that was
round the corner of mountain. When
you had found the distance between
your gun and the mountain you would
fix your bullet to alter it's course at
a certain moment. Then you'd fire,
and the man round the corner would
be sorry.
Or, say you wanted to hit an enc
my's ship lying on the other side of one
of your own. That would be the
easiest thing imaginable. You would
just fix your bullet to go straight for a
bit, then soar upward for awhile, and
then rush down point first on top of
the doomed vessel.
Il tell you, my bullet will go any
way and do anything you may want it
to, and I've written to the war office
,to say SO.
Up to now the only communication
have received in reply is the usual
stereotyped Acknowledgements; but the
patent office people-he did not men,
tion names-have valued the invention
at 9150,000, and have told me that it
is the most marvellous invention of the
present age.

ication from the war office. and if | do

The worlds Largest Locomotive.

The Worlds Largest Locomotive.
Material has been ordered by the
Santa Fe for the largest locomotive
ever built. The engine has been de-
signed for mountain climbing, and it
is said that the big Player engines and
those built for the Santa Fe by the
Dickson Locomotive Works will be but
playthings when compared with this
giant locomotive.
The engine will be built by the loco
motive department of the Santa Fe
shops in this city. Among it's features
will be a boiler built of one-inch boiler
steel and cylinders whose dimensions
will be 12 by 80 inches. 1t will have
no pops as they will not be required.
No fireman living would be able to
build a fire that would create enough
steam to burst the boiler of this mogul.
The engine will have ten drivers. and
it is estimated that it will be able to
haul third larger load than any en-
CINE the Santa Fe now has.
1t is not known just when this great
est of moguls will be completed. as the
material for its construction has just
been ordered. but it VIII not be until
some time late in the summer or early
in the fail.

General Miles.

A splendid physique enables Gen.
Miles still to enjoy all outdoor sports
and exercises. He is superb rider,
sitting his horse with the graceful ease
of cowboy, and a lover of the chase,
especially after the big game of the
plains yet he does not disdain, to-
gether with his charming wife Ca niece
of the late Gen. Sherman) to sit astride
of the irrepressible wheel, which he
has encouraged and popularized for
military purposes.
1t is in the field that Gen. Miles
shows himself the truest soldier. Quick,
alert, fearless, and untiring, he i'm
parts much of his admirable enthusi..
asm to all of his subordinates, from
whom he exacts and obtains the most
thorough and conscientious effort. He
has been fortunate, it is true, but even
i'll luck could never have kept down a
man of his capacity, invention and in
defatigabie energy. The civil war gave
him the needed opportunity and the
Hispano- American war no doubt will
crown his eventful career with added
lustre and lasting glory. His recent
study upon the ground of European
military systems must have admirably
supplemented long course Of profess
sional reading, thought and training.
Nowhere, perhaps, has he given great
er evidence of his ability for important
command than in his prudent insist
ence upon the invasion of Cuba by a
large, fully equipped, well, drilled and
disciplined army. In this stand so free
ly criticised The Criterion says his rea-
sons have been military rather than
hygienic. and they have been heartily
indorsed by authorities no less emf
nent than Lord Wolse1ey and the dis
tinguished German experts, Gems. Hoe
mig, Won Elpons and Boguslawski.

Photography From Flying Kites.

Probably the most striking thing in
recent kite-flying Is the making OF
Photographic views by camera IN the
sky. borne up by kites. William A. Eddy
has claimed to be the pioneer IN this
field. having taken views from kites on
May 30, 1895; while Messrs. G. I. Nog-
lon and George E. Henshaw of New
York City, claim that the first good pic
ture from camera sustained ny kites
was made by them on the afternoon CT
September 21st following.
There are several ways in which a
camera could be carried up. and oper-
ated from terra firma Mr.. Eddy sends
it uo with its bearer attached to the
strings of as many as three kites. The
apparatus consists simply OF -Wo spars
about the length of trout rod, and CT
about it's size at the butt, the end OF
one spar being joined firmly tc the
middle Of the other. and on this juno
ton the camera is mounted. A ccrd
looped along the trunk line controls the
slide OF the camera Many excellent
pictures have been made BY these
means.
Kites have been used. also, for send
ing up colored lights for signaling;
while by an ingenious use of Il iarge
and somewhat modified camera. views
of objects at a distance have been pre-
sented to observers on the ground, when
such objects would have hee.i other
wise invisible to them. Thus the opera
ton constitutes sort of artificial
mirage, which. very likely, will not al
ways be without its uses.-George J.
Varney. in Appleton's Popular Science

White toilets of the daintiest descrip-
tion will be the rage next season. EA-
quisitely fine St Gale embroideries are
lavishly used on skirts and waists OF
white India muslin, French organize
and batiste, these trimmings including
wide and narrow insertions, tiny frllis,
deep f1ouncings, edgings, jacket-fronts'
blouse draperies, fancy collars, epau-
lets, fichu-shaped shoulder-capes, sash
lengths, and yokes.
Consider the hats of the season. Solo
mon would confess his splendor out
done before any one of them, and YET
they are not all either complicated or
over difficult for amateur imitation.
The first rule of good millinery is to buy
a prettily colored straw, and the tints
of the straws are as the colors of Jo-
seph's coat for variety.
There is shown a growing tendency
to trim individual hats within the limits
of one color A yellow straw is
wreathed with buttercups and yellow
lace, while its ornamental pins are set
with amber. Masses of heliotrope are
lavished artistically with violets and
lilacs on a mauve frame, while hya-
cinths, forget t-me-nots and turquoise
pins adorn a blue shape. A suggestion
for the amateur hat trimmer is given by
a pretty little lilac shape adorned with
a great handkerchief of lavender silk
muslin, edged about its four sides with
violets sewed on close but irregularly,
stems and all-the stems being the only
contrasting tone in this chromatic scale
of pale purple, and the kerchief was
knotted about the hats crown with
careless grace.
Another sweet green thing was
trimmed with a few yards of verdant
taffeta ribbon, edged with white vio-
let's the maker had whipped on, and
instead of sewing the decorations to
the frame this resourceful amateur ad-
justed silk muslin and ribbon by means
of cheap little pearl-headed pins.
A young lady preparing her summer
wardrobe has all of her morning dresses
made of the pretty ginghams and dimi-
