Beers In Strong Force and British
Guns Are Ineffective.


Mooi River. Natal Nov. A.-The Beers
have only sent an occasional she'll into the
British camp since this morning. The
range of the British guns is not sufficient
for them to be effective. An official ma
tive runner corroborates the report that
heavy firing has occurred northward. The
runner who is from Estcourt, says he
was captured by the Beers, who infest the
nights northward He adds that they
searched him, but failed to discover the
dispatches.
The Beers are in strong force under
the cover of a hill on which are two guns.
When the British opened fire the runner
escaped in the confusion. The same run
per was at Ladysmth last week. He re-
iterates that heavy lighting occurred there.
The Beers, he claims, made several at
tempts to capture the British camp. but
were repulsed with heavy loss. The ma
tive explained the failure of the assaults
by saying that every time the Beers ap-
preached the British set the whole coun-
try ablaze, killing every one within reach.

MONEY IN BAD MATCHES.
Wood Cut So That 1t VIII Break
With Little Friction.
From the Chicago Tribune.

Millions in bad matches! BY the simple
trick of cutting the wood across the grain,
OF of cutting it with the grain at such an
angle that it win split almost lengthwise
when friction is applied, it is asserted that
the match trust is adding to its profits by
enormous sums yearly.
II has been noticeable to any user OF
matches during the last few weeks in par
ticular that the wood is of bad quality and
that The match is apt to break just below
the birthstone, or to split just above the
fingers.
is 1t because nature has ceased TO guide
the grain of wood as before?
Is it because the workers in the match
factories are less sklfui, having become
bungiing in their work?
Or Is ii because the concerns that make
matches, beng incorporated in a power
ful alliance, have hit upon a way to in
crease their profits by creating a demand
for ma ches that is not proportionate with
the needs of the match users?
Whatever the reason, the fact remains
that the matches are bad-perhaps not one
of ten, sometimes two of three. And, with
out ascertaining he cause, figures can be
made to show that the peop'e are paying
10 the dea.ers-which in turn, means the
wholesalers and the manufacturers-more
than 5000 600 a year more than they would
pay were the matches of good quality.
The average consumption of matches q
day for each perscn can perhaps be placed
at len. The cigarette smoker often win use
as many as seventy-tive and the cigar
smoker as many s twenty-five, The house
wife hardly could use less than ten, and
the small boy finds many needs for the
flame producers.
Counting tie population of the country
at 7O,OO0O.0, the number of matches used
each day would be 70OOOO,0o0 On basis
of three in every ten matches being bad,

position, bayonetting eighty of the enemy,
"At daybreak the Beers opened with
quick-lirers. The British artillery was un-
able 10 reach the Beers and the British
position therefore, became untenable and
was evacuated. Subsequently the artillery
was brought into action and the Beers fell
back. Their object having been attained

Washington, Nov &.-Mr. Macrum, the
United States consul at Pretoria, has been
instructed by cable to impress upon Pres

government the usages of all civilized ma
tons sanction the ministra, ion of neutral

NEW RANGE FINDERS.
Which the Government May Adopt for
 fhe Navy.

Which the Government May Adopt for
 the Navy.
 One of the first Unweleome discoy- cries made by the officers on the Amer ican warships at the outbreak of the war with Spain was that the mechan- ieal range finders with which the Americans ships were equipped were practically useless in an actual en- gagement None of the range finders produced by inventors attempting to overcome the evils of the present sys- tenn have as yet been adopted, and it is not likely that the government will be in any hurry to adopt any. It is known, however, that many of the of fieers who have witnessed the prelim- mary tests of an instrument just de- vised by young engineer in the navy have been faYorably impressed with the simplicity, strength and accuracy of the appliance. In its general prin- ciple this new range finder is quite like one now in use in the French army, except for variations necessary to meet the different=conditions of ma rine warfare. In the present device q cube of glass about two feet long is painted on one side with silhouettes of objects of various shapes and sizes, from ships to forts. This glass cube is mounted on sliding scale marked off in yards and feet. Tn order to get the range of an object it is only necessary for the person using the instrument to move the glass cube up or down the scale as the case may be until the ob- iect 10 be attacked is the same size as the corresponding Ggure on the glass. The number on tke sliding scale oD- posite which the glass cube stopped is the distance of the object from the point of observation. The elevation of the point of attack is then figured by a comparison of the distance with the dimensions of the figure on the cube to which the point of attack was brought to agree. This method of determining range is still crude, but 1t is certainly original, and many naval officers say that it can in time unquestionably be developed into a very ingenious and expeditions method of arriving at the distance and height of the object to be fired upon.

Society of Game Thieres.

Friedland boasts the most singular mutual protective society in the civil- ized world. In Assen recently a union was organized by seventeen game poachers. q comprehensive set of rules being adopted None but a recognized game thief is eligible to membership. The convention decided that in the fu- ture the members of the union shall sell only to regular game dealers. and then only at current market prices. The dealers will be required to con tribute a certain amount of money each year to the unions treasury. The principal object of the union is to sup port the families of such poachers as may be arrested and sent to prison. A cast-iron resolution forbids all mem bers from killing game in the closed seasons, the argument being that the game laws must be enforced. The Netherlands code provides a fine of 100 forins and term of imprisonment for killing game out of season.

 The girl of my heart came home to attend a cousins wedding on Thursday of last week and she stayed in town for two days before going back to sehool for the commencement which VIII make her a sophomore, says the Wash ington Post.

She let down her hair and tangled it about her face. Her gown was an old one, so she sacrificed it and tore it to tatters Then she waited. Presently she heard the girls returning She began to croon softly to herself weird song. The girls opened the door. She took no notice of them. but went on lavish ing kisses on. the grinning skull, laugh ing idiotically to herself the while. Finally one Of them whispered; Girls, she's raying mad. That was the cue for the girl of my heart She rayed; she tore her hair: she shrieked when they tried to draw her away from the skeleton; she laughed: she flung her self about and finally danced out into the outer room, moaning ia blood cmdIins way The girls dared not even breathe They were ghastiy.
