SWindler Miller Has
Lost His Wealth

New York, Feb. S.-William +. Mil
Ter, the head of the notorious Franklin
Syndicate in Brooklyn, which promised
to pay, and did pay to many persons,
$40 per cent on investments, and who
fed when he learned of his indictment
by the Kings County Grand Jury for
grand larceny and conspiracy, was to-
day brought back to this city. He had
eluded capture since November last.
Miller was in the custody of Captain
Reynolds, formerly of the Brooklyn
Detective Bureau, who lost his place
through his failure to prevent Miller
from leaving the city. The prisoner
was arrested in Canada on clews picked
up few days ago. Captain Reynolds
and his prisoner arrived from Canada
at $3.50 o'clock today and at once went
to police headquarters, where Miller
was introduced to Chief of Police Dew
cry. Miller was in a good humor. He
| did not seem at all put out or disturb
ed by being in the hands of the police
or in the slightest fear as to the future.
| Chief Devery was very anxious to
find out something of Miller's doings
since he left the city, but Miller posi-
lively declined to say word in that
direction. According to a statement
made by Chief of Police Devery Cap
tain Reynolds found Miller in Mont
real. Captain Reynolds refused to go
into the details of his search and dis
covery of Miller. He said that several
days ago he was furnished with clews
of Miller's whereabouts and was in
structed by the Chief of Police to get
him II he could. In following up the
clews Captain Reynolds said he ran
across man who knew Miller. The
movements Of this man he followed
un,il the latter and Miller met. Cap
tain Reynolds would not say where
this meeting occurred. According to
Captain Reynolds Miller was not TAX
en- by surprise. The captain told him
that as they were in Canada he would
not arrest him, but would follow him
wherever he went. Miller replied that
he was going back to Brooklyn. Cap
tain Reynolds said that he did not
place him under arrest until they
reached the Grand Central Depot, when
he showed the warrant of the Kings
County Grand Jury. Miller took the
matter very calmly. He looked very
seedy, his clothing Is soiled and he
lacks the air of man who has made
fortune.

Sorry He Said It.

There are SO many things In this
wicked world we would rather not have
said. Mean things, spiteful things, I'M
feeling things, reckless things, which
trickle over the lips before we can
realize it. An estimable man in town
has a wife who Is a good woman,
though she can never be a candidate
at a beauty show. He admires her.
however, and as he is the n to be
pleased, her lack of loneliness is a
small matter. One day he was talking
with some friends about his DISPOSE
ition. mo-" said he, candidly, you
rarely see me get worked up, nervous
and cross. I am the easiest person in
the world to please" Zone glance at
your wife shows that" replied a dear
friend, who is the soul of politeness,
and who, poor wretch, really meant to
imply she did not have the looks of a
nagged or brow-beaten woman, and
must get on easily with him. But, oh,
it didn't sound that way, and that man
would gladly have given $40 down for
a hole in the ground just about that

ARTILLERY SHELLS AND THEIR USE

the time fuse is will be clear from the
fact that gunner are able to deter
mine within a yard or two just where
it will explode, Notwithstanding the
tremendous rate at which it whistles
through the air.
Case shot is less often used than
shrapnel. 1t is looked upon as the last
resort of a battery threatened by in
fantry Or cavalry at close quarters and
is not effective beyond a range, of 500
yards. 1t is made up of 300 shot
packed in a case of sheet tin, which
breaks into pieces when the gun is first
fired, scattering the bullets in all di-
rections, and not carrying it's bullets
in a compact mass to the target like
the shrapnel and then exploding.
A third kind of projectile, used in
heavy guns, such as the 5-inch how
itZer, big naval guns and fortress ord
nances, is the common she'll, similar to
the shrapnel in appearance, but con-
tanning no bullets. 1t holds, however,
a large bursting charge and is of much
heavier metal. 1t always explodes on
impact, being ignited by a percussion
cap at the tip. These shells are used
for the destruction of masonry, earth
works and all solid targets. They will
explode after imbedding themselves in
masonry, and so not only pulverize
the point where they strike, but also
tear up the surrounding stone layers.
Their destructive power has been
greatly increased by using lyddite for
the bursting charge, this explosive be-
ing named after the town of Lydd in
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1900-03-22

ling and exactly fitting the breech of

ling and exactly fitting the breech of
the gun.
The method of exploding the shrap-
mel is interesting. At it's upper end the
projectile has a funnel shaped open
ing, whence a tube extends down to the
bursting charge. In this opening is
screwed the fuse which causes the ex-
plosion in the shell itself. This is a
gem of mechanical skill and works
with clockwork accuracy. 1t can be
used either as a percussion fuse or a
time fuse. If the former, it will cause
the shell to burst by impact, a needle
in the tip igniting the explosive and
scattering a shower of bullets and
broken shell in all directions. Percus-
sion fuses are used against a solid
target, such as a wall or fortified
house, while the time fuse is employed
against troops in the open with little
or insignificant intrenchment. When
this is SO, a simple manipulation of
the gunner ignites a ring of slow
burning substance in the shell which,
at a certain time after it has left the
gun, will ignite the explosive and
shower it's leaden rain on the enemy.
The pieces of shell and bullets thus
set free and exploding in the air re-
tain the same velocity the shell had
at bursting. 1t is easy to imagine the
terrible way In which such a charge
will tear up the ranks OF an enemy.
What a wonderful piece of mechanism

Lucid.

A famous verdict rendered many
years ago by a coroner's jury in a case
of mysterious death ran thus: I'VE,
the jury of twelve good men and true,
duly ~impanelled and responsible on
u c~onsciences, do hereby return the
following verdict on the demise of the
deceased, namely: That said corpse
came to it's death through the abrupt
ceasing of his heart to perform it's
natural office, for no aso whatever
d~iscernible by man, but solely an act
of providence" If this was not alto
gether explicit, at least the public
knew there had been no foul play; but
what meaning could possibly be at
tached to the verdict which a legal
magazine assures us was rendered,
much more recently, by a Missouri
court? I'VE, the jury impanelled,
sworn and charged to inquire into the
insanguinity of Hezekiah Jones, do oc-

Inspector-General Breckenridge, re-
porting to Secretary Root, suggests the
employment of officers returned from
foreign service, and unable to perform
other duty, as professors of military
science at military colleges. There
are many indications that the reign
of peace is yet far off, and until the
millennial sun chases away the martial
clouds that brood over every land it
may be wise to instruct the youth of
the country betimes in military drill
and discipline. A defensive force will
always be necessary here as elsewhere,
and this plan offers congenial and easy
tasks to men whose health has been
injured in their country's service, and
promises to provide at least a frame
work on which to build up an efficient
force to meet any national emer-
gency.

While a great deal is written about
artillery in these warlike times, it is a
subject not always fully understood.
The artillery now being used by the
British in South Africa consists of the
twelve-pounder horse artillery gun n
the fifteen FOUNDER field artillery gun.
They are practically to the same pat
tern, the lighter gun being shorter in
the barrel. Horse artillery invariably
co-operates with cavalry and is able to
keep up with the same at its fastest
pace, its gunners always being mount
ed. Field artillery, on the other hand,
co-operates with infantry, and must
be ready to be pushed into action at a
moments notice.
1t is only in field and horse artillery
that the guns are known by the weight
of their charge, other guns deriving
their name from the diameter of their
bore-that is, their caliber. In horse
and field artillery the caliber is three
inches, both for case shot and shrap-
mel. A shrapnel is a hollow shell filled
with some 200 bullets and a small
bursting charge sufficient to burst it
and disperse the bullets over a conical
area. This charge of an ounce and a
half lis at the base of the shell, with the
bullets packed above it and round an
inner tube reaching from the tip of the
shell to the exploding charge. The bull
lets are placed in rosin to prevent their
rolling and interfering with accuracy
of aim. The powder charge projecting
the she'll is independent and is con-
tanned in a silk bag to facilitate hand

things like that?' demanded the en-
ragged amazon. What earthly reply
could l make? l did the only thing
possible got up and sneaked out, ex-
pecting every minute to feel a police
mar grab me by the collar. So, as l
said before, unless you have the way

ings is something that can't be ac-
quired.-New Orleans Times-Demo-

Phillips Brooks said, in the last
Thanksgiving sermon he preached: Il
defy a man to put his finger upon any
page of history when it was clearer
than 1t is today that man has some
thing to do with his brethren and thai
they are his brethren. Yes, it belongs
to nations, too. No nation dare act in
sublime selishness." Whether the re-
straining motive be high or low, the
fact of greed, envy, hate, under some
control, is a ground of hope for in
diyiduals and governments.

In one of his most beautiful and at
fecting poems Longfellow mentions
some of the achievements of men who
have reached the age of fourscore
Yeas. Such a summary, if complete,
would support the poets assertion that
old age as well as youth is opportun-
ity. Worthy of a place in the list is
the service to the civilized world by
Theodor Mommsen. Past the limit of
eighty years, his energy has survived
in a remarkable measure, and he has
published a new work on Roman
icriminal law. which will supplement
his authoritative contributions to the
knowledge we possess of the general
subject of Roman law. Work, under
proper conditions, has a p~reservative
influence. What if he had laid down
his pen when he reached his three
score and ten? There are many
chances that he would not now be
living.
