There were others besides the cats
on the fence and the man who had
been hit. From the side yards and
the alleys q sudden shower began to
descend on the Bowser yard, His
brickbats, bottles and old shoes ana
salmon cans were returned with 100
per cent added. and as he started for
the kitchen door something hit him
on the head and another something
batted him between the shoulders, and
he fell and rolled over and got up again
and crawled into the house Just as an
old boot smashed in the window. Two
minutes later he faced Mrs. Bowser
up stairs. He had to make three differ

Mans Million Years.

According to the conclusions Of Mr..
A. II. Keane. a well known English
ethnologist, the first creatures that
could properly be called men appeared
on the earth in what geologists know
as the pliocene period, somewhere
about a million years ago. The pre-
cursor of man, Mr.. Keane thinks, was
some such apelike creature as the
Pithecanthropus erectus, discovered by
DIR. Dubois in Java a few years ago.
Four varieties of men were developed:
Homo ethiopicus in Africa south OF
the equator, Homo mongolicus in cen-
trail Asia, Homo americanus in the
new world and Homo caucasicus in
northern Africa. From these the exists
ing races are descended.

tenn son; Il widow not able to eat
more than one meal aday; So my poor
client has not such physique or mind
as to be able 10 assault the luSty com

of some of her more valuable leather
that is, the lea theT of her nose. My
learned friend has said that there is

This witness is independent, therefore
he should be believed. But your
honor. with your honor'S vast eNper-

that trut hfulneSS is not so plentiful

of them do not always speak gospel

There is widespread misapprehen-
sion in regard TO the devastating
effect of high explosives, for
when unconfined the effect even of
large charges of them upon structures
is comparatively light. At the Naval
Ordnance Proving Ground, so long
ago 1884, repeated charges of dyna-
mite, varying from five pounds to
one hundred pounds in weight, were
dctonated on the face OLA vertical
target consisting of eleven one-inch
wrought-iron plates bolted to TWEEN
ty-inch oak backing, until 44O pounds
of dynamite had been SO detonated
in contact with it, and yet the target
remained practically uninjured, while
at Braamfontcin the accidental ex-
plosion of fifty-fiSe tons of blasting
gelatin, which was stored i'll railway
vans. eXcavated but 10000 tons of
soft earth. This last may seem ter
rible effect. but the amount of eN-
ploSiYe involved WAS enormous and
the material one of the most ener-
getic that we possess, while if we
compare it with the action of explo-
sives when confined its effect becomes
quite moderate. Thus at Fort Lee.

tons of the rock; at Lamberis, Wales,
two tons and d half of gelatin dyna-

900 tons of rock; and at the Talcen
Mavvr, in Wales, seven tons of gun
powder, placed in two chambers in

100000 tons of rock. We might site
many such examples, but on compar-
ing these we find that the gunpowder
confined in the interior at the Talcen
Mawr was over fortytwo times as eff
ficient as the explosive gelatin on the
surface at Braa mfonte1n, while the
dynamite at Fort Lee was over ninety
times as Observation-Disclosures ons' F.-~
