COLLEGE RIFLES.

In view of the trouble over class
pipes at the University of Pennsyl-
vania it might be interesting, remarks
the Philadelphia Record, to notice
some of the rules governing the con-
duct of freshmen contained in the
official handbook, a copy of which is
presented to each new student: CIV
cry freshman is expected to turn up
for the first meeting of his class and
to participate in the rush that fol-
lows. Every freshman must be on
hand at the annual bowl fight. He is
forbidden to smoke "A pipe In College
Hall or upon the campus; to sleep,
read, or study in College Chapel; to
wear his hat in Houston Hall; to walk
on the campus grass; to carry cloth
bag, and, above all, to wear the 'P.'
or u. of r. unless he has won it. He
must not carry cane or wear a high
hat 1t is an especial duty laid
down upon the sophomore class to see
that these regulations are strictly en-
forced, and that class generally does
its part well.

THE OMAN KILLING" BUrITET

THE OMAN KILLING" BULLET.
y new service bullet, which will be
used for the first time in the Khartoun
expedition, has just been adopted by
the British war office. Several mil
lion rounds are being sent out for
use of the infantry. Severe actual
warfare will be watched with interest
by the military authorities of al ma
tons. The reason assigned for the
change in the service bullet is that
the Lee-Metford, though it is mo 20
deadly at ten times the range of he
old musket ball, does not disable an
enemy as effectively as desirable. The
new bullet is spoken of as the "mu1
killing bullet" in contradistinction TO
the man penetrating bullet. And Der
wishes who may escape being shot i'm
Il vital part are pretty sure to sue
cumb to internal hemorrhage and to
shock. 1t is loaded with cordite and
gives as much energy as the old NJ
tini-Henri bullet of 40 grains gave
with the best gun powder, and being.
half the weight a soldier is able 10
carry double the number of rounds uf
ball cartridges.
The new bullet is being manufact-
ured in the Royal Laboratory, Wool
witch arsenal, by men and boys work
ing overtime, at the rate of two mil
lion rounds of ball cartridges per
week. and if the test in the Khartoum
expedition proves satisfactory a per-
manent stock of $50 million rounds
will be kept on hand in the powder
magazines at Woolwich.
