(Collier's Weekly

The fact that most OF the artillery
practice in the Transvaal war has APP
peared SO ineffective on both sides need
surprise no one. 1t is Il we'll known
fact that OIL an average only one bull
let out of 500 fired in battle strikes
home.
During the Franco-German war the
German artillery fired 100000 shots, and
the infantry 20.0006oO. This terrible
hail of shot and bullets, sufficient to
eNterminate Il nation. resulted in a loss
OF $4,000 men to the French. Thus
every Frenchman killed involved an
expenditure of bullets sufficient to kill
Il regiment.
or the $4,000, 000 bullets fired by the
Russians during the Crimean war, A.

death, and were, for practical purposes
OF destruction wasted. The remain
ing $4,000 alone, which could have
easily been fired by a single regiment
within the space OF an hour. found their
billet. This means that $40 bullets were
fired before single soldier of the allied
troops was killed.
The British in the same war were
more fortunate IN their aims. OF IT,
U0o,0o0 bullets fired, $1,000 were fatal;
one bullet out of every 700 fired thus
accounting for one Russian.

IN the death of $1,000 Russians, or n /

LONDON EXPERIENCES.
A Baltimore Students Observations in
the Old Country.

A son of Mr.. Richard J. Briggs,
merchant of Baltimore, who is travel
ing in Europe, writes as follows in re-
gard to his experiences in England:
Among the many places in London
have SO far visited are the Bank of
England, st. Paul's Cathedral, Naval
Observatory at Greenwich, House of
Parliament, Royal Exchange, London
bridge and the Tower of London; here
are all the royal jewels, including
Queen Victoria's crown
''All the old churches and other
buildings are so covered with SCOT that
they are quite black, whatever their
original color.
Originally London was surrounded
by wall and divided into two dis
tricts, east central and west central
(hence, e. C. and W. c.. The corporate
limits of the city have never been ex-
tended, although these two districts
form but as mall part of the worlds
metropolis. Other districts outside
of the corporation have since been
created, as northeast, southeast, etc.
AS a general thing, streets bear diff
ferent names where they extend from
one district to another A few excep-
tiOns, however, and then the streets
are designated within and without
the corporate limits.
Passenger steamers land those on
board at Gravesend, allowing them to
reach London much sooner by rail.
Freight steamers, however, continue
up the river as far as East London,
and smaller vessels can ascend to Lon
don bridge, in the heart of the city.
Il have not been able as yet to pass
for an Englishman, for my speech be-
trays me. The other day I inquired
of policeman the nearest hardware
store He looked at me in amaze
ment / then explained that I wanted
to buy penknife oh, said he, you
mean the iron mongers'
yesterday I asked the ticket
puncher at an underground railway
station; Do I take this train for Mark
Lane?' No, the next said he; but if
were you l should let the train take
me there instead.
'fThe other day | entered a bicycle
store and inquired of the proprietor il
he had wheels to rent. I repeated my
question several times, but he did not
understand me, and finally I asked:
Have you wheels for hire?' when we
forthwith struck a bargain.
s'The people charge a man more for
things if they see he is a foreigner;
especially are Americans imposed upon
in this way, as they have a reputation
abroad of having money to burn.
II was in England a week before
saw a colored person, and have seen
only three in the entire time I have
been here.
"The English people as a nation are
late risers. I find them much slower
than we are, and they are apparently
never in a hurry"
