AFTERMATH OF THE RAID.
Jameson's Men Can Collect Damage
from the Government.

Jameson's Men Can CoIlec. Damages
from the Government.
The Jameson case came into the law
courts On the civil side IN the form
Of an action for damages by one or
DR.. Jamesons' troopers, says the Lon
don News. The trooper sought COM
pensation for the loss and inconveni-
ence to which he had been subjected
by the false representations Of the de-
PENDANTS, the British South African
company, DR.. jameson and the Right
Hon. Cecil Rhodes" All these powers
were engaged in a perfectly LAWFUL
purpose when they marched him to
Pitsani. They were not. They aggra-
waited their offeIse by inducing MIN
to push on toward johannesburg on
the plea that his services were urgent
ly required there for the protection Oh
certain women ard children. There
was no possible defense and the de-
PENDANTS came into court with the
white flag OF a verdict by consent tof
$500. This will indemnify the trooper
for his loss Of kit, loss Of health, loss
Of liberty-he was inlprisoned-an
loss of pay. On the whole he has
done pretty well by the raid. His sue
cess will probably serve to encourage
the OF rs who were victims OF the
same Misrepresentation. The laureate
for instance might have ground for
lotion in the false pretenses under
which he wrote his ode. In its dry
technicalities Of legal phrasing the
statement OF claim offers wholesome
corrective of that impassioned out
burst. Thus the deceived trooper:
"On or about the 31st December, 1895,
the said forces Of the defendant COM
pany in which the plaintiff was serv-
ing were assembled at Pitsani, under
the control Of the defendant jameson,
acting on behalf Of the defendants, and
at the time and place last mentioned,
the defendants, for the purpose of the
said invasion, and in order to induce
the plaintiff to take part therein and
to enter the territory Of the said re-
public as a member OF the defendant
.ompany's said forces. fraudulently
represented to the plaintiff that light
ing was about to commence in or near
Johannesburg and that protection was
needed for the women and children
there"
Compare with the still more grossly
deceived poet:
There are girls in the gold-reef city.
There are mothers and children, too:
And they cry, Hurry up! for pity!
So what can brave man do?"
But the poet has, perhaps, to some
extent, put himself out Of court, by
this:
Let lawyers and statesmen addle
Their pates over points Of law"
On the whole. the honors are with
the solicitor, both as to the results and
as to the adequacy Of his literary
treatment of the theme. The raid has
never cut such poor figure as it does

PULP WOOD.
Statement Before the American Paper
Pulp Association, by Dr. Fernow.

The lumberman and the wood pulp
manufacturer will have to divide the
supply of the spruce, pine and hem
lock material, while balsam fir, tama-
rack and poplar remains mainly for
the use Of the latter.
There are no absolute statistics in
existence, but we can arrive at a gen.
eral idea Of the probable supplies on
hand by various calculations and by
the use of such data as are in exis-
tence.
For Michigan the commissioner of
labor reports in 1897 two and one
quarter million acres of standing pine
and hemlock For the upper pen
insula we are justified in increasing
this area by figuring as follows: Of
the area of twelve million acres. fully
10 per cent. is swamp and probably
40 per cent. is cut-over land, leaving
about 80 per cent. or six million acres
in woods, from which, however, the
white pine is mostly removed. For
the lower peninsula such calculation
Is not practicable, and we have to rely
upon the reports of the commissioner

STRANGE BIRD IN PHILADEL-
PHIA.
Taxidermists Cannot Tell the Species
of One Found Dead.

Since the arc electric lights have
been placed beneath the statue of
William Penn on the tower of the
city hall, Philadelphia, in addition 10
serving as beacons they have attract
ed numerous birds, who, becoming
blinded by the powerful lights, have
had their little lives crushed out by
flying ruthlessly against the bronze
statue. The birds heretofore have
been sparrows or other common spe-
cies, but G. H. Slaughter, foreman Of
the electricians, in the marble pile at
Broad and Market streets, found the
! body of a strange bird on the pedes-
! tai of PENIS statute.
Mr.. Slaughter knows more about
! birds than the average person and,
as a consequence, he carefully gath
! cred it up, and the more he examined
! it the more puzzled he became II
all his knowledge OF birds anu III IA
the books he had read or he subject
he could recall no description O. such
bird.
Mr.. Slaughter brought his find 10

saying that they had never seen or
read of such kind of bird. 4 high
school girl, who was waiting to take

/ throw no light on the matter.
II is a small bird, about the size of
a robin but having the color of par
fridge, with long green legs, a long
bill and a short tail.
Mr.. Slaughter said he guessed he
would keep it for his own collection
He called on several ta1fdermists
but they could not tell him what kind
of bird it was. They said, however
it was rare species, and remarkable

the plans for the Illinois, showed as
great an advance over former de-
signs as previous plans had shown
over the types of fighting ships which
were supposed to be satisfactory in
1890. The Illinois belongs to the
class of designs known as those of
1895, while the Kentucky and Kear-
sarge are of the class of 1895. AS if
the designers had foreseen the con-
clusion of naval experts after the
close of the war with Spain upon the eff
ficacy of guns, in the Illinois the g.
inch gun is eliminated and the weight
and power of the secondary battery
tremendously increased. To add to
the value of the seagoing qualities of
the battleship, a spar deck has been
added to the first three-quarters of
the ships length, and the freeboard
increased from thirteen feet in the
Kentucky to twenty feet in the
Illinois.
Each of the four terrible 13-inch
guns will fire a 1,100-pOund shell,
with a muzzle energy of 33,627 foot
tons, equal to the perforation of
thirty-four and half inches of
wrought iron. The two 13-inch guns
forward are twenty-six and a half feet
above the water line, which enables
them to be used in battle even when
heavy sea is on and the battleship
is headed at it. The after turret
stands above the main deck and is
eight feet lower than the forward tur-
ret. The turrets are of the elliptical
type. They are lighter than on the
Wood County reporter. [volume] (Grand Rapids [i.e. Wisconsin Rapids], Wis.) 1857-1923, 1898-10-06

guns on the same deck, but forward,
will be protected in the same way.
Four 6-inch guns on the spar deck
will have a protection of six inches of
STEEL and can be fired dead ahead and
dead astern, as we'll as on the broad
side. The smokestacks have been
placed abreast of each other.
In calling attention to the superb
quality Of the Illinois, Alabama and
Wisconsin type of battleships, the
Scientific American makes a compar-
ison with the Majestic of the British
navy, which officials Of the navy re-
gard as eminently fair. The Majestic
has a displacement loaded Of about
$4,000 tons to 11,525 tons for the ILL
nois. Nevertheless, against this
seeming disparity the Illinois carries
four 13-inch guns as against four r.
inch for the Majestic; she has four
teen 6-inch rapid-fre, as against
twelve; she is protected with sixteen
inches of side armor, as against fill
teen inches; she has seventeen-inch
turret armor, as against six inches,
and her speed is only one and one
half knots less. Further, being a
smaller ship she presents less target
to the enemy, and drawing four feet
less water she can navigate harbOrS
and rivers and channels into which
the Majestic dare not enter.
The technical description of the
Illinois is: A doubleturret battleship,
length 1858 feet, and over all 373 feet
and 9 inches. Extreme breadth, 81
feet 21A inches. Mean draught, with

was presented during the gay social
season at Washington in the winter
of 1897. She won the favor of maids,
matrons and beauX alike by her beau
ty, vivacity and wit. On two occa-
sions the chat of the boudoir has
