The man was suffering from badly infiamed

THE BREECH-LoADING HowIrzER.
Weapon Used for the First Time at
Omdurman.
From the London Graph

A deadly modern weapon of warfare was
at the battle of Omdurman. Yet, owing
| to the fact that muzzle-loading howttzers
weighing from four to ten TONS were used
in former generation, the ordinary Brit
ish civilian has scarcely comprehended the
true meaning Of a '-5-inch breech- loading
howitzer," whose bore when parallel is
| three feet seven inches from the ground
Unless all stand clear when this gun is
fired, the recoil, in spite of the drag shoes"
will impolitely knock the leaders over. So
abominably does the howitzer kick that it
positively jumps on its own account back
ward a distance of five yards, even with
drag shoes"-a brake like those used on
wagons-while without drag shoes it runs
back from twenty-five to thirty yards
When firing at range of 1000 yards so per
cent of the rounds should drop within
space of twenty-three yards. The weight of
gun and carriage is. roughly speaking,
about twelve hundredweight, and 1t makes
good practice up to 5000 yards. At this
distance a Lyddite shell last June ground a
sham fort to powder, though the walls were
three feet thick. Howitzers can fire behind
cover better than any other gun, because,
being short, they can get better angle of
descent. Their shells weigh fifty pounds and
| are constructed externally of steel and filled
with Lyddite-a fluid the color of which
seems to indicate the presence of picric acid
AS soon object is hit terrific backward
and forward flashes take place. Those who
are unfortunate enough to be within 300
yards of the forward explosion are nearly
certain to be killed. and whoever are within
range of the backward fash up to 200 yards
may be congratulated if they escape. The
bore" 40 inches in Length and five inches in
diameter, has three coyerings-the inner
| tube "center tube and Jacket"
In order to obtain q faint idea of how
a modern howitzer is charged, imagine
large craftsman made of cordite threaded
onto pencil. This pencil technically would
be termed the core" When three more
explosives shaped like craftsmen are placed
on the top this is a full charge" Each
howitZer is drawn by six horses and the
same number are harnessed TO the ammu-
milton wa gon, just as in the case of the ar
tillery, only the latter have their detachment
of nine men mounted
The great objection to these death-deal
ing howitZers in a European war would be
the likelihood of the enemy aiming at and
exploding the ammunition wagon. The nor
NAL pace of horse artillery is q galop, of
field artillery trot, and Of howitzer a walk.
The last named gun weights twelve hundred
weight, whereas the other two only six
hundredweight. Howitzers' uniform is the
same field artllery-blue with yellow fac
tngs, red stripe on overals and red collars
to coats. Horse artillery similar, but
they have more braid across their tunics.
There are three howitzer batteries-the 37th,
" no are now in Egypt, and who shot with
such admirable precision in this recent de-
cfsive battle; the 61st and the 65th batter
les, who are now stationed at Woolwich.

CHINESE BLACKMAIL.
Heavy ExactiOns a Railroad Of
fcfa1 at Peking.
From the St. James Gazette.


A curious instance. and by no means a
fattertug one, of Chinese methods of gov
ernment has just been supplied by the ar
rival of Sheng Taotai from Shanghai This
gentleman holds several important posts,
and, among others, has the appointment of
director of railways. He is also the admin
istrator of the Chinese telegraphs and has
an excellent reputation among foreigners
for his tolerance and open-nindedness, Re
Gently he was called here by command of
the emperor to confer about the several re-
forms which his majesty is eager TO
adopt The chief officials OF Pekin hailed
his advent with delight, it at last gave
them the opportunity Of a squeeze" which
had been quite impossible while Sheng was
SO far distant at Shanghai.
The modus operandi is quite a usual and
an everyday one and deserves notice. The
gates of Pekin are farmed out TO high Off
cials chiefly princes of royal blood All
merchandise is examined and is passed on
payment of a small tax. But when an OFF,
cial like Shcng comes in, from whom they
are desirous of eXacting a good. round sum,
the procedure is altered. In this particular
case Sheng was given TO understand that
contraband articles would be found in his
luggage unless he satisfied the farmers of
the gate | believe j am correct in saying
that Sheng did not even attempt to dispute
or haggle, but resignedly asked what
amount was required. The answer was
and Sheng proceeded on his Journey. prob
ably glad at having gotten off SO cheaply.
But against all precedent and custom he
was stopped at the inner gate and did not
get off under 10000 taels. So altogether
this unfortunate official called to the cap
ital by the emperor's order had to pay over
f6.>50 before he was allowed to go TO hls
duties.

BURMESE MEDICAL SKILL.

Some Native Remedies Very Efiica-
cious in Certain Cases.
From Chambers Journal.
The Burmese pharInacopoefa as whole
is & subject for laughter and tears; but
there is no gainsaying the fact that 1t In
cludes a few medicines for such diseases
as Jungle fever and dysentery which, If
used by the light Of common sense, and
not by that of astrological calculation, are
productive of excellent results. 1 have
heard an English M. d. speak highly OF one
simple decoction prepared by Burmese
druggist for use in cases Of dysentery. 1t
was, If remember rightly, made from the
thick rind of the rnangosteen, and my med
ical friend had found it sufficiently efflca-
cious to recommend in his own practice.
However deplorable may be the character
of Burmese internal treatment, we find
more than little skill displayed in dealing
with wounds. sores and other external
troubles.
/ recall case In which an English-speak-
ing Burman, much above the average in in
telligence and education, reused the ire Of
his employers by asking for a months
leave to be treated by Maulmatn doctor.
