now lowering in that neighborhood.
The Daily Mail has the following dis
patch from Paardeberg, dated Sunday
"There are about four thousand men
beleagured in General Cronje's camp,
exclusive of the losses he has hitherto
sustained. His wife is not with him,
although there are women and children
in the camp. The Boer position now is
almost exclusively confined to the river
bed. The enemy are entirely at our
mercy, but Lord Roberts is treating
them with great consideration from mo-
tives of humanity

New York, April 23.-Dispatches
from London quote Mrs. Cora Urqu-
hart Potter the actress, as saying tha'
she has been granted a divorce from
her husband, James Brown Potter.
Mrs. Potter declared, so the dis
patches say. that Mr., Potter, who TO
years refused to allow her divorce
wrote her some time ago saying that
he wished to marry Miss May Handy
of Richmond, and asking that she con
sent to be divorced by mutual consent.
She willingly consented and has now
been notified by Sir George Lewis that
the divorce has been granted and that
1t Will shortly reach her. The divorce,
according to society gossip, is likely to
be followed by two marriages. Mr..
Potter, 1t is said, Is going to marry
Miss Handy while Mrs. Potter Ii Is de-
elared, is to wed Lord Kitchner, II the
hero of the Soudan survives the Boer
war.
Mrs. Potter's interest in Gen. Kltch-
ner is OF long standing. His photo

A Glove Marriage.

An extraordinary ceremony recently
took place in Amsterdam, with a coun-
.erpart in Africa. 1t appears that a
young man left Holland some years
ago TO serve in the telegraph service
Of the Transvaal. 1t had been his am
oition to make a certain young lady in
Amsterdam his wife If he ever attain
I'd to prosperity. But when success
was achieved he was unable to leave
ais work for journey to Holland. IE
his difficulty a marriage by proxy
known in Holland as a glove mar
riage-was suggested. The details
we're all carefully arranged, the diff
terence of time exactly calculated and
continuous cable connections between
Pretoria and Amsterdam We're secur-
ed.
The bridegroom and his friends as
'embled in the Hotel Kruger. An op-
orator, using a wire from the cable
aotified the lady's family in Holland
that all was in readiness. and The re-
oily came that the ceremony would
hen begin. In the Amsterdam man
sion a friend of the bridegroom made
The response, and when the time came
10 clasp hands he produced a glove be-
longing to the bridegroom which he
had worn.
The proxy holding one end of the
glove, the bride the ether. the prom
ses were exchanged and the cere-
nony was completed A cablegram
from the bride to her husband, G,OOO
miles away, gave him her wlfely greet
ing to which he responded. There was
wedding feast in Pretoria and an
other in Amsterdam, and the cable
Was kept busy with congratulations
Then the bride said farewell to her
family and went en- board the steamer
20 begin her voyage to her new home
The custom of the glove marriage
iates back to the old colonial days
when they were more common than in
these times Of rapid and cheap jour

Most Powerful Gun in the
World.

The operation of shrinking a jacket
on the sixteen-inch gun at the Water
vilet Arsenal having been successfully
performed the great gun is being COM
pleted. The first ATTEMPT to jacket
the tube was unsuccessful, the outer
piece having stuck fast a few inches
away fro mthe point for which it was
intended. The second attempt was
successful in every particular.
The gun. when completed, will be
the most powerful piece of ordnance in
the world, and will weigh, without the
carriage. 126 tons. Its length will be
10 feet 6 inches, the diameter of the
breech feet 2 inches, the size of the
bore will be 16 inches The theoret-
ical range of the gun will be 2076
miles, weight of proiecticle 1870
pounds. The projecticle intended for
the big gun is GA inches long, and the
powder charge consists of 1060
pounds. The powder will cost $685.
md the prcjectile $500, so that the cost
of every discharge, exclusive of the
wear and tear on the gun and the pay
Of the people employed in its manip-
ilatlon, will be $3.50. The projectile
with its initial velocity of 1900 feet a
second, will penetrate wrought iron tc

Thunder and the Snakes.

1t is an old superstition that spring
has never come or certain until the
first thunder showers of the year have
awakened the toads and snakes. Yes
terday it was a common expression
that as tht thunder mad been heard the
night before the reptiles would be
awakened. and that spring might be
counted upon for certainey. 1t is
der does not waken the toads and
snakes. 1t is terrible to shatter old
tradition.. But at the same time the
loads have been creeping from the
holes fer days, and 1t is known to
close observers of nature that at so
unreasonable a time as January frogs
have been found struggling out of
,heir retreats in the marshes. Frogs
nave been piping their shrill tunes in
che suburbs for days. Snake stories
have been coming in fer a week or
more.
But overlooking the conditions at
home, think of what hard time the
snakes of California would have where
he thunder is never heard to waken
hem. And how rough it would be on
.he alternating animals that take
long sleeps in summer in countries
where food is withered by the heat
and drouth. They would be wakened
out of all season. Some creatures hi
oernate in summer as well as in
winter. The creature that takes its
long nap at any season of the year
must be wakened gradually until Its
breathing organs are working in har-
nony with its heart action again or it
Will die of the sudden shock. The
chances are that if a snake or toad
walked up by the startling crash of
thunder storm it would be quickly
killed from excessive heart action.
But spring comes when the thunder
showers are said to wake up the
snakes, because spring wakes the toads
and spring wakes the thunder drums
