And some people have criticised the
British for abandoning their guns, It
is wonder that the fragments of their
flesh and bones could be gathered to-
gether for burial.
Americans are born artillerists. In
our various foreign wars, and in our
civil war this fact has been as COM
pletely demonstrated as that we take
to the handling of small arms by in
stinCt. But we cannot afford to rest on
this superiority of the man behind the
gun! The gun itself is now an intri-

REMARK OF NAPOLEON.
Modern Warfare Making Saying 0
French General Pertinent.

Passing entirely the merits of the
British boer war" said a United States
artillery officer Of high rank. land the
various valuable and otherwise indi-
vidual opinions of the different CORE
spondents as to the warfare of the
future l am most forcibly struck by
one substantial fact. 1t is this:
That, however may be radically
changed the tactics and the methods Of
conducting a battle on the field, the
great, underlying principles Of war
are still not only undisturbed but &C
centuated to a forceful degree by this
contest, as were the great principles
of naval evolution in the Spanish
American war.
Nearly 100 years ago the greatest OF
military masters, the immortal Napo-
leon, made his famous remark that
God was on the side Of the general
with the heaviest artillery Today We
paraphrase the axiom by substituting
high powered for heavy. Artillery
will decide the day in south Africa as
it did at Wagram and Austerlitz, and
in most of Napoleon's battles. An ar
tillery officer himself, he made this
arm the feature OF his marvellous
armies. Mark my prophecy:
"Old Dom Paul and his advisers must
have cherished well Napoleon's words,
Z for especial attention was given to the
secret importation into the Transvaal
of great numbers Of new and improved
high-powered guns. The execution OF
these battalion destroying weapons,
and the consequent CONSERVATION OF
the British, are already matters Of his
| tory, while it is admitted that the long
range naval guns alone saved Lady
smith from humiliation or capiulation.

ORIENTAL EMBROIDERIES.

Soft satins and silks in oriental era
broidery are beautiful, and the latest
idea in this line is to take Persian sfsK

collar-points, cuffs, yokes and over
fronts draped in surplice or fichu fash =
ion. Chiffon is embroidered in 'ap-
plique, lace and silk designs, one OF
the latter showing thick raised roses.

used as plain as possible, and IS

FRENCH DEGENERATION.

In one great historical movement,
however, France has not occupied az
prominent place as Germany and
England, namely, in the religious and
moral reformation which became
widespread in the sixteenth century,
and is still operative in all Teutonie
countries, says George Mclean Harper
in the March Atlantic. Every attempt
to establish generally the reformed
principles in France has been crushed
by the arm OF despotism, or thwarted
by the folly and shallowness of Pro-
testant mobiles, or nullified by the like
warmness and moral feebleness OF the
middle classes. To the failure OF
France to grasp her opportunities IN
this respect, l believe, we must at
tribute decadence, moral and physi-
cal, which is becoming precipitate,
and which bids fair to reduce her to
a secondary rank among nations

INTRODUCING GUESTS.
r fear, ct.
oh, whistle, etc.

A host or hostess has great latitude
On formal occasions, when all khe
guests come by invitation, he .or she
may make lntroductions freely, al
ways remembering that it Is the wis
est before doing so to obtain the con-
sent Of the two who are to be intro
duced At a dinner the hostess should
make sure that the two who are to go
out together have been introduced, for
it is awkward for two persons to sit
beside each other in ignorance OF each
others names. At dance it would
be less than kind to let girls and
young men who wish to dance go with
out partners because they have net
many acquaintance. At general re-
ceptions or teas host or hostess need
make few introductions. Yet kindness
of heart should lead them to pay some
regard to those who are unacquainted
with the other guests. If some of her
guests are strangers in the city she
should take especial care to introduce
them to few congenial people.
hostess cannot always observe the
rule which forbids introducing tive
ladies or two gentlemen who have long
been resident of the same city, but let
her think twice before breaking this
rule.-Leah Lanceford in Woman's
Home Companion.

GOOD MANNERS OF THE SEAL.

The harbor seals at the Aquarium
know we'll enough what they Ike to
eat and when they can get that they
won't eat anything else AS between
Goldfish and herring they prefer herring,
and herring is fed to them when 1t Is
obtainable and as far as is consistent
with their welfare. They do better,
however, with some variation in their
food.
The seal is graceful, and apparently
Of good manners. If two pieces Of
fish, food for the SEALS one of herring
and one of cod, are tossed into the
water together the seal rejects the
cod, or pays no attention to it what
ever, and eats the herring. If, as is
often the case, the seal were up on
the platform beside the man with the
food, taking the food from his hand,
it would in all probability take a
piece of Goldfish handed to it in that
manner, personally, as it were, thus
being polite to the man Offering it,
but it would not be likely to swallow
it. 1t would incline its shapely head
downward and drop the piece Of cod
fish out of its mouth onto the stone
platform and then lift it's head again
to the man, with look that means
what apparently it would say II it
could speak:
Thank you, but l prefer herring 4"

conductor among the cheaper metals.
A poor conductor consumes and wastes
the current as it passes through and
for that reason is commercially i'm
possible. An aluminium wire will
carry without friction about so per
cent. of the current load which a
copper wire Of the same diameter will
carry. To carry equal loads the alum
inium wire must be about two-thirds
larger than the copper conductor. The
best iron wire would have to be six
times larger TO accommodate the
same current. Copper weighs three
and a third times as much as alumni
ium, so that an aluminium wire Of
any given capacity would weigh only
half as much as a copper wire de-
signed to carry the same load With
aluminium at approximately 80 cents
a pound and copper at 1S, the economy
of employing aluminium is evident. It
has the additional advantages of being
lighter to handle and of being nom
corrosive"
Until Chicago man invented a
solder for aluminium a perfect joint
between two pieces of aluminium cable
was impossible, according to Mr..
Chapman. There are soldiers
manufactured by eastern firms, but all
of them deteriorate with age and re-
quire renewing at intervals. Henry
Gronimus, a steamfitter living at 8
Rees street, Is the man who found the
right mixture of anthony, zinc, tin
and various other metals. Mr.. Chap
man believes the Gronimus solder is
nearly perfect, and the inventor has
been engaged to splice all the big sup
ply wires Of the system. The Groni-
mus solder, Mr.. Chapman thinks, will
give a new impetus to the manu-
facture of cooking utensils Of alumni
ium by providing for satisfactory
joints-heretofore the weak point in
aluminium wares.

Birds are nothing TO him TO the
sportsman in India He is looking for
something bigger, something that he
has to risk his life to get, and the lives
Of small army of followers. In hunt
ing the tiger he realizes these ambi-
tions, and oftentimes something more.
The common hunting ground OF Eng
lishmen in India is what is called the
Dun, long, broad valley near the
River Gauges in tho foothills of the
HimilayaS. In the distance these
mountains present a long Jagged line
Of snowy peaks, $4,000, $4,000 and "a
600 feet high, and looked at through
the hot haze of an Indian day, seem
to be hanging half way between heav-
en- and earth.

hunt is for one planter to send word

natives each, men who are familiar
with the loaity and who have had
long experience in the jungle. When
everything is ready the start is made
with the elephants abreast, the how
dahs being in the center and the beat
ers" on the ends
The deeper the jungle is penetrated
the more often are the disturbances.
Many cheetal deer are aroused, and
once in awhile the karkun, or barking
deer, dashes into sight for an instant
Peacocks and porcupines, wildcats and
innumerable jungle fowl break the
monotony at short intervals
Further in the jungle the elephants
are spread wider out, with a howdah
in each wing and the others in the cen
ter, so that the guns can fairly com
mand the game when it comes into
view. The march continues and every
one is in readiness when the word is
passed around that the game will soon
be at hand. Five minutes, ten and

most to the sea. Except for the cocoa
nuts upon the shore-line. this portion
Of Tutuila can have little or no COM
mercial value. The western portion,
however, though it has the same VOL
canic appearance, has greater width of
area, broader valleys. and higher
mountains. OF the latter Matafu is
the most lofty peak. with a height Of
1850 feet above the sea-level From
il one descends southwark to an I'M
dulating plain of considerable fertii-
ity, some $4,000 acres in extent. This
tract is, for the most part, forest land.
broken by occasional waterways: and
the soil is comparatively rich, produc-
ing most of the fruits and vegetables
indigenous TO the group. Beyond this,
to the westward, mountains again pre-
vail; though the country about Leone,
in the extreme southwest, is the rich
est and most populated section of the
island. In Leone bay. also, there is
fair anchorage; and in the settlement
around it several traders of Apia have
agencies. The total superficial area
Of the island is 240 square miles, in
habited by about 5000 people.
The entrance to Pago-Pago bay, be-
tween Breaker point on the east and
Tower Rock on the west, is three
quarters of a mile in width, with
soundings of thirty-six fathoms. With
in it, mile and half from Tower Rock,
and connected with the west bank by
a coral reef, is Goat Island, two acres
in extent; and this marks the en-
trance to the inner bay. The latter
is surrounded by lofty hills, which
neutralize the influences of the trade
winds and render it secure from hur-
ricanes. At various points along the
narrow shore are native villages and
cocoa-nut groves; and low down on
the hillsides breadfruit bananas.
oranges, taro, and yams grow in SUI
ficient quantity to provide for the
scanty population. Fish Is fairly
abundant in the bay; and sufficiency
Of fresh water is usually found in the
small rivulets at the mouths of the
mountain ravines.
Of the southeastern coast of Tu-
tuila. and separated therefrom by a
deep channel, lies the small island Of
Annu. This has an area of about ten
square miles and a population Of be-
tween two and three hundred; and 1t
is chiefly remarkable for the alleged
immunity Of it's inhabitants from the
scourge Of elephantiasis, to which the
natives of the other Samoan islands
are more or less subject.
Thanks to their isolated position
and to unsophisticated character
Of their people, the islands of Manua
group may claim to be almost I'M
known to the outer world. OF the
three islands, Manua, or Tau, as it is
sometimes called, is the largest, hav-
ing an area of about 100 square miles;
Olesaga, four miles distant to the
northwest, is credited with twenty
four square miles; Ofu has barely ten

LATER NEWS"-PER CONTRA.

A doctor in the British Medical
Journal now asserts that in the act OF
kissing we only encounter benefcent
organisms. He says "the advantages
of kissing outweigh its infnitesimal
risk, for it provides us with microbes
useful for digestion"
| thought the upshot would be this.
That some one would defend the kiss,
That when lovely girl you see
Worth your thrilled hearts idolatry,
No owlish Board, however wise,
Can stop the kissing exercise.
I hold that nature knows what's bes.
For US, to make our food digest.
Although I've no dyspepsia,
I'm bound to cure it when I may,
And can each fogy who dismisses
The prophylactic power Of kisses.

place with their elephants. Couriers
are also dispatched to the natives own
ing elephants, with instructions to
have the mammoth beasts at the ap-
pointed place in good time. In this
way four or five sportsmen and a COZ
en- elephants with their native atten-
dants are congregated at the chosen
place.
When everything is ready for the
real hunt to begin, howdahs are placed
on the four Or five elephants TO be
used by the hunters. The howdah
elephants are always the best trained
in the bunch and are selected because
of their experience and ability to stand
like rocks while a heavy magazine
rife is being exploded over their heads.
Each sportsman is mounted on a sepa-
rate elephant, and IN addition to him
the hOwdah contains a native, well
trained in the handling of guns. Just
IN front of the howdah sits the guide.
The elephants carry two and three
