Official Account of the British Disaster
at Ladysmith.

at Ladysmith.
LONDON, Nov. 2.-The British war
office has made public a dispatch re-
ceived from General White describ ibing
the operations of Monday. 1t was as
follows:
''Took out from Ladysmith brigade
mounted troops, two brigade divisions Of
of the Royal Artillery, the Natal field
battery and two brigades of infantry,
to reconnoiter in force the enelnys
main position to the north and if the
opportunity should offer to capture the
hill behind Farquhar's farm, which
had, on the previous day, been held in
strength by the enemy. In connection
with this advance a column consisting
of the Tenth Mountain artillery, four
half companies of the Gloucesters and
six companies of the Royal Irish Fusi-
liers, the whole under Lieutenant
Carlton and Major Adye, deputy assist
ant adjutant general, was dispatched
at II p. m. on the Goth to march by
night up Bells Spru1t and sieze Nichol-

successfully carried out, the objective
of the attack being found evacuated
and an artillery duel between our field
batteries and the enemy's guns of the
position and Maxims is understood to
have caused heavy loss to the enemy.
The reconnaissance forced the enemy to
fully disclose his position, and, after
strong counter attack on our right, the
infantry brigade and cavalry had been
repulsed, the troops were slowly with
drawn to camp, pickets being left on
observation. Late in the engagement
the naval contingent under Captain
Lambton of H. M. s. Powerful came
into action and silenced, with their ex-
tremely accurate fire, the enemy's guns

WILD BIRD
Which Had Absolutely No Fear of
Man.


Man.
A most extraordinary instance Of
the lameness OF birds in unexplored
forests is related by writer in the Ma
tional Geographic magazine, describ-
ing tour of exploration to the head
waters of the Saskatchewan. AS our
horses were winding through deep
forest, a bird appeared which resem-
bled a pine bullfinch, fitting from tree
to tree and following us closely. Some
what later it gave the most remarka ble
instance of tameness that l have ever
seen. Having followed us for about
two miles, it waited in a tree during
the hustle and confusion of making
camp, but in the afternoon, when all
was quiet, some of our men were
asleep, the bird became exceedingly
familiar, walking on the ground near
us and finally perching on our ex-
tended hands. 1t was soon evident
that the object of our visitor was to
catch mosquitoes, which were hover
ing in swarms around cur heads. 1t
pecked at a ring on my hand. at our
needles, and in fact any metal article,
but the climax was reached when by
accident the bird saw it's own image in
small looking glass which lay on
the ground. Then, with extended
wings and open bill, it uttered cries
of rage and pecked madly at the glass
in which an enemy appeared. Among
the solitudes of mountain forests,
squirrels, finches and whiskyjacks
often show unusual confidence in man,
but this particular instance is remark
able, because the bird would alight on
our persons even after it had been mo-
mentarily though gently detained sew
eral times as a prisoner in my hand.

Electricity Cures.

According to DR.. Friedlander of
Wiesbaden, electricity is an antidote
against stings of insects. His plan in
such cases is to apply a constant cur
rent and to place a negative cathode
on the spot stung by the insect. Gal
vanization produces a rather strong
sensation of burning, but at the same
time the pain from the sting disap-
pears, and if the electricity is applied
very soon after the wound has been
inflicted there is little or no swelling.
The current, however, does excellent
service even if it be not applied until
after some time has elapsed, for it re-
moves the pain and also quickly re-
duces the swelling. The supposition is
that the poison which the insect has
injected through the skin, is neutral
lied and rendered innocuous by the
current. DR.. Friedlander has repeat
eddy made experiments of this kind
on persons who have been stung by
bees and wasps, and has invariably
found them successful. He naturally
believes that similar result would be
obtained in the cases of persons stung
by other insects.

SERVANT TO SEWARD.
Aged Retainer of the Famous Secretary
Leaves "a Fortune.

Leaves Fortune.
William F. Butler, who served Will
liam H. Seward for more than forty
years in the capacity of body servant
has died in Brooklyn, worth some $75,-
900. He was a slave in his early life.
but managed to buy his freedom. Com
ing to Washington he took a cookship
IN a restaurant, where he was when
the secretary came across him. There
was a certain quaint philosophy about
the black man which was charming
to the white. Butler was with Seward
during the greater part of his public
career, and on his death had saved
sufficient to retire. The tips he had
received from his master have been
well followed. He purchased land In
that part of the capital which Stewards
knowledge Of the city led him to be-
lieve would soon be valuable. His
small investment grew until the sum
mentioned above is easily procurable.
The fortune is left entirely to Miss
Evangelina q. Walker, of Brooklyn
Miss Walker is a young negress of 10.
described as being of a light color, as
straight as a poplar, and of a Cauca-
sian cast Of countennce. She was
godchild of Buffers, and having lived
in the house with him since babyhood,
regarded him as a second father. She
nursed him tenderly through the last
two years of his life, in view of which
those Immediately interested are prone
to believe that she is justly entitled
to the bequest. Butler was not mar
ried, but has several sisters, who may
contest the will. Miss Walker is well
educated.

STEEL BEAMS
Neatly and Quickly Cut by the Use 81
Electricity.

Neatly and Quickly Cut by the Use Of
Electricity.
During the reconstruction of an Of
flee building recently in Chicago an
interesting use was made of the cleo
trio current in cutting in two a clus-
ter of half a dozen heavy steel beams
which it was necessary to remove
These beams were of the ordinary l
shape and Is inches deep. Owing to
the difficulty of getting at the beams
at the places where they were to be
cut, special saws would have been re-
quired had the beams been cut in the
ordinary way, and it was estimated
that the work would take two men
about twelve days time and cost about
500. Instead OF doing the work with
hack saws, a method was adopted such
as scientific burglars invented for get
ting into safe and vault doors of steel.
A current of electricity was brought
in from The electric lighting wires in
the street 20 do the work. The posi-
tive terminal wire was attached to the
steel framework of the building, to
which the beams were riveted, and
the negative wire was attached to
carbon point one and half inches in
diameter, which was provided with a
wooden handle to enable the operator
to direct it along the beams at the
places where they were to be cut. An
asbestos shield protected the operators
body from the heat and black specta
cles protected his eyes. In twelve
hours the beams were severed, with an
expenditure of only about fve-horse
power in electric current, and the
work was done by an ordinary work
man.
