was also one from the southwest, the two
meeting in this vicinity. Four deaths and
considerable loss of property resulted.
Knitting Mill Hill. south of Union. caught
the full force of the tornado, which blew
down the school house and two residences,
thus converting them literally into kindling
wood. The occupants flew from one of the
houses before it went to pieces, and took
refuge I'm another house nearby; but this
house also was crushed to splinters. In the
latter house Miss Sallie Hart and Miss
Annie Lawson were instantly killed. Mrs.
Maxey was so badly injured that she died
in an hour and her little daughter, Vera,
died from wounds about o'clock.
A telegram from Jonesville. s. c., to Miss

storm was fearful at that place and that
one of her family had been killed there.
Miss Lawson was dead when the telegram

PECULIARITIEs OF BULLETS.
Queer Antics of Jumps Of Lead When
Projected From a Gun.

When Gen. William Crozier, chief of ord
nance, was before the Philippines commit,
tee there was a very interesting discussion
concerning the effect of bullets when strik-
ing different substances. Gen. CroZier
showed there was marked difference in
the effect Of the bullets used by the Ameri-
can troops in the Philippines upon different
occasions.
ut Is a characteristic of the modern bull
let when fired with high velocity" said Gen.
Crozier, that when 1t strikes in semi
liquid mass 1t is likely to produce effect
very much like explosion. For instance
soon after the adoption Of the present serv-
ice rife in the United States army an es-
Gaping prisoner at Chicago was shot in the
head by a sentinel, and the top of his head
was blown Off Sometimes similar effects
are produced by triking in the bowels or
other soft portions of the body. In the
case to which 1 allude, of course, the range
was very close.
IAN instance occurred in Porto Rico of
exactly an opposite kind in the accidental
shooting of an officer at very close range"
continued Gen. Crozier. He was fired at
by sentinel. The bullet passed through
dropping to his knees when struck The
officer was well within a week. and yet the
man at Chicago had his head blown off,
also at close range. These actions are diff
ficult to account for. Not only does the
bullet produce these curious effects in the
soft portions of the body, but they are OBJ
served in the firmer portions of the body
I myself. in the Philippines, examined q
Filipino who had been shot at thirty yards
Immediately after shot. The bullet entered
the left side below the shoulder and passed
out of the right side at the neck. Where
the ball entered the hole was very small,
while where 1t passed out 1t left a cash
four inches long. 1t could only have been
accounted for by something like a liquid
mass having been forced out. The cash
was longer than the longest dimension Of
the bullet"
These peculiar characteristics of the bull
let used in the Philippines called forth an
experience Of Senator Dietrich.
Il was up the Big, Horn Basin" he said,
on hunting trip, I saw jack rabbit sit
ting on the mound which was thrown up
around his hole. AS hs1 saw me he settled
down into the hole. andsI fired at him. I
presume he was about. 800 yards away.
The bullet struck the earthen mound. the
jack rabbit flew lip into the air, dropped
to the ground and remafhed motionless. An
examination showed that the rabbit was
dead and yet thei bnilets had not struck him
he had simply been killed by conclusion -
Senator Carmack :laughingly remarked
that he did not believe the story at ALL
Your prowess as q hunter. is well estab-
lished," added Senator Beveridge as he
nodded to Mr.. Dietrich, when you can kill
game without hitting IT.
