Seeing: n Bullet In Flight

LAS every sportsman knows" said
an enthusiastic New Orleans hunter,
''it is easy to see a rifle bullet in the
air, and those fired from the new high
power guns are very curious to look at
Stand a dozen yards at II side of the
mark and let a friend blaze away at any
range with a small caliber weapon
using smokeless powder. and you'll SEQ
a strange, blush white streak the in
slant the bullet strikes home. The
streak is apparently a couple OF inches
wide and several feet long and is more
like a flash Of light than anything else
I can think of.
"With the old fashioned Remington
or Springfield carbine the bullet has the
appearance of a long black rod, and l
don't know why there should be such a
difference in the optical illusion pro-
duced by the smaller caliber. l have
heard some people deny that the bullet
can be seen, but they are very much in
error. 1t all depends on getting the
right viewpoint A few feet either way
will render the missile invisible, but
the right spot is soon found by expert
ment, and after that the thing is as
plain as day."-New Orleans Times

Big Men and Zig Noses.

Cyrano de Bergerac is remembered
because of his large nose. Few know
that be was a poet, and fewer still
krow his poetry The nose is a conspic-
!uous feature of history. The length of
Cleopatra's is said to have figured in
Roman politics, and a scandal grew out
of it which ended in the ruin and death
of Antony and the establishment of an
empire which lasted a thousand years.
Napoleon would not promote a man
who had not a large nose. He himself
was we'll favored in this respect. Caesar
was "the hook nosed Roman"
All American statesmen have been
noted fer this feature. Old men tell of
our W Benton, who used to shake his
nose like All elephants proboscis when
he got excited. 1t seems to be the law
that all great men have great. noses.
but let no one think that the converse
of this is true, that all men who have
great noses are great men. Such a con-
clusion would lead to confusion and
needless pain and disappointment.-S

A Brooklyn woman whose gas bills
were almost beyond computation and
certainly beyond her purse, had one OF
the quarter in the slot machines put in
her fiat and anticipated great pleasure
in keeping tab on her gas expenditure.
These machines. by the way. are fed a
quarter. and when the quarters worth
OF gas is burned they shut off automat-
ically.
Toward evening of the day in which
the machine was installed she wended
her way to the slot and deposited her
money. but when an attempt was made
to light the gas the machine would not
register, and the evening light was shed
out Of lamps and candles. A wrathy
note brought the company inspector to
the sce1.e the next morning, and he
thoroughly indicated the reputation Of
the continuance when he unlocked it
and drew from the inside three nickels
and a dime. New York Mail and Elk

The Wrong House.

A weather beaten member of the
tired fraternity. who had lost a leg and
had it replaced by a wooden substitute,
stumped his way up the main street OF
a Lanarkshire village the other day
and paused at the door of the first like
" looking dwelling. Knocking at the
door, which was opened by a brisk.
businesslike housewife. the man began
his stereotyped whine
''If ye please. mum, l lost my leg
And before he could unfold another
word of his tale the sharp retort came
"Aweel. ye didna lose it herel"
And bang went the door in his face.

Evening Dress In Kansas City.

The dress suit is the most democratic
raiment in the world. 1t meets the re-
quirements of good form, whether it
was made six years ago or last month.
Attired in evening costume, whether
the swallowtails are long or short, mar.
row or wide, all men look, practically
speaking, alike, whether they are wage
earners or ~pmillionaires. The dress suit
levels all distinctions and illustrates the
potentiality Of a correct style. The
young mar who has made a good selec-
ton in his rented broadcloth serenely
greets his wealthy rival who has paid
for his London clothes price like $3.50.
How the fame of this world grows
small! when wrapped in a swallowtail
coat among many others of the same
cut! When the dress suit becomes the
regular evening calling and theater
dress for Kansas City men, IS it should
be, the poor chaps will profit by it a
full cnbit of serenity and self respect

How This True Child Of the Desert
Goes Through Life.

How This True Child of the Desert
Goes Through Life.
How dreamily that Bedouin life.
with it's uneventfulness and it's fatal
ism, fitted the time and the place!
Here was a poor Arab who did not
know how old he was. but he could
look farther into heaven than could.
His mother had borne him while the
caravan was on it's way to Mecca. He
had worked as a laborer on the Suez
canal. and he had been a dog knacker
in Constantinople before that. He had
gone hungry in the wadies of Idumaea.
and had run as a cameleer barefoot in
the burning sands of Arabia Petraea.
He had vegevated into manhood on the
lower stratum Of this strange oriental
existence, content to believe that life
was an unavoidable curse. with a drow.
sy intimation of eternity in it. always
associated with the tinkling Of bells,
the rattle OF castanets and the sweet
smell of Beirut tobacco.
But he could see some things tina.
were beyond my vision, and | wondered
if this true child Of the desert, born un-
der indigo skies, Of a ace that had been
guided since the days Of Moses and
Menephtah by the pillars of fire by
night, had not preserved some powers
of vision that were common to the
primeval man. He never lost the true
oriental disdain for enterprise and con-
temporaneous disturbance. and he made
an engineer feel that his work, seen in
the light Of the unperturbed stars. was.
after all, an impertinence to a true
pariah. -''Ghosts In Jerusalem. by A..
