Falling Bullets.

Falling bullets kill many men, even
when they are lying sheltered behind
trenches. II bullet Is fired In the
air 1t falls with as much force as 1t
goes up. But, curlously, there Is a cer-
tain limit Of height beyond which a
bullet gains no more falling force; the
reason being that when the motion Is
very rapid the resistance OF the air bal
ances the attraction Of gravity. In the
siege Of Sebastopol-and, In fact, during
every campalgn-a great many men
We're killed by falling bullets. And the
terrific force with which they come
down Is shown by a case In which the
bullet entered the shoulder of a cav
alryman, passed down through his
body and penetrated several inches into
his horses back.
A curious instance occurred not long
ago In India. While native was clean
ing boots In the open air he was seen
to drop dead without cry. On exam
lining him they found that bullet had
entered tho top Of his head. No shot
had been heard, and the person who

REV. MIR. OTTMANN ACCEPTS.

Will Become Pastor of the Zion Luth-
 eran Church, This City.
 A special meeting of the members of the Zion Lutheran church, corner of Davenport avenue and Ward street, was held in the church parlors after the regular services last evening. The meeting was called to act upon the let ter of acceptance to become pastor of the church from Rev Frederick Ott- man of Hartford, pastor of Christ Lutheran church in that city. All the members present were pleased to hear of his acceptance. The members of the Zion church are particularly fortunate in securing such an able pastor in such a short space of time. Rev. MT. Ott- man is a missionary worker of ability and no doubt the church will grow in numbers after he takes charge. At the monthly conference of the Lutheran ministers, held in Meriden two weeks ago, Rev. MT. Ottman brought up the subject of the call from the Zion church and asked advice on the matter. It was the unanimous opinion of the con- ference that he should accept the call and that he was the best man for the place. His decision was made according ly. Rev MT Ottman has been pastor of Christ Lutheran church. Hartford, for eight years and during his pastorate there has brought the church to it's present large membership. The mem bers of the Hartford church were loath to let him go, but it being made clear to them that his services were needed in this city thnV decided t0 allow him to accept. Rev. MT. Ottman will as- sume charge of the Zion church in a few weeks
 Last evening Rev. Samuel Chaser, pastor of St. Johns Lutheran church Meriden, preached very able sermon in the Zion Lutheran church to large congregation. The choir rendered sev- eral selections.

S LONDON, July S, 1880 a. m.-There
is nothing in the few dispatches re-
ceived last night to add to the ray of
hope regarding the fate of the legations
at Pekin shed by yesterdays dispatches
from Washington and messages from
other sources indicating that the lega-
tons were still standing on July 3.
and that recent attacks by the boxers
had been slight.
News from other points was dis
tinctly disquietins. A report from
Chez Foo dated July Z, says that a
Catholic bishop, two priests and two
nuns have been murdered. 4 report
from Moukden, dated July 5 says that
Danish mission at Hinyung has been
surrounded by boxers
According to the report it would be
impossible to hold out only two days.
A party Of Cossacks, residents of Mouk-
den, and the British consul had started
for the relief of those besieged at the
Danish mission. The situation at Tien
Tsin on July 3 is said to have been
moro serious. Japanese and Rus
sian forces are reported TO have been
hurrying there from Taku, but accord
ing to some accounts mutual distrist
exists between the allies.
A report from Shanghai dated July 6
says that the British warships are Wig
ilantly watching for the purpose Of pre-
venting any attempt of the Chinese to
cross the Yang Use Kiang.

LONDON, July by the average
Britisher the present situation in China
is generally referred to as "a crime of
the powers. This view is shared by
almost everybody not connected with
the foreign Office. With the uncon-
tradicted rumors that the helpless Eu-
ropean women and children were tor
tured to death at Pekin there has
come home to all classes, all papers
and all parties keen, sickening sense
of Great Britains helplessness. Some
go even farther and describe Great
Britain's attitude as an ignominy I'M
equalled in her history. 1t must not
'oe gathered that this self-criticism ex-
cluded equally severe criticism upon
the other powers concerned. The pre-
ponderance Of criticism is only direct
ed against the home government in
the hope that it will bring some result.
The cry is What is the good OF Lord
Salisbury saying that the International
understanding is harmonic when that
harmony will not let Japan step in and
save the lives of our minister, the men,
women and children in his charge
The Events and Rumors
OF the week have completely changed
the public attitude toward China. 1t is
no longer a question of spheres of in
finance and fbo no +o,,,,,a. g r1.:.:-,
power in the Far East but it is mat
ter of saving human lives, if possible.
and if that is baf1ed, an overwhelm-
ing desire for a speedy and terrible
revenge Emperor Williams stern
invocation of vengeance. has had
heartfelt echo in Great Britain and
there are indications that the foreign
office is awakening to the strength of
this feeling and is taking such steps
that international harmony shall not
in future interfere with independent
action when great emergencies arise.
The naval stations have become CEN
tres of activity and ships and troops
are hurrying eastward. Parliament will
be asked for
An Additional Million Pounds
for navy and the inefficient vessels will
be ordered to be struck off the efficient
list.
The attitude of the United States
toward China is but little understood
and is generally believed to be con-
trolled by the political considerations
of the ante-election period 1t is hoped
that Japan's star will not arise in the
East and save the situation and the
demand is that, whether or not Rus
STA agrees, Great Britain shall speed
lily make herself strong enough to
unite with Japan, if the exigencies of
the situation demand such action. The
nation is tired of harmonious ac-
cord" that is barren of results. 1t is
useless to speculate upon how far Lord
Salisbury will be able to meet this
popular demand by means of the nego-
tiations at present progressing, though
hypothesis regarding their outcome
fills countless columns in the British
papers.

SIX THOUSAND MORE TROOPS.

WASHINGTON, D. c., July THE
issue to-day of the formal orders for
the dispatch to the east of more than
six thousand troops from the army
posts in the United States was man
Hesitation of the energy with which
the government is now about to act in
the Chinese matter. True, these troops
are nominally destined for the Philip
pines to replace the volunteers now
out there, but it is admitted that they
are being sent out by a route that will
easily admit of detection to Taku or
some other convenient Chinese port.
Possibly Consul General Goodnow's
cablegram representing the legation
ers as being alive as late as the Sd
instant, may have had something to do
with this radical action. Whatever the
cause, if these troops are landed in
China together with the Ninth infantry,
supposed to be now at Taku, and the
marine and naval contingent, the
United States will have a force in ac-
ton commensurate with our interests
and proportion to the European forces.
