MESSAGES SENT IN BOMBS.

Daspatches Placed In Cannon and
Hurled to Their Destination.
One Of the most interesting sugges'
tons recently submitted to the mill
tary authorities Is that made by Cap
tain Hardin Beverly Littlepage, at
present employed in the division OF
naval war records in the Navy Depart
ment. It Is a new method in the for
warding Of dispatches in the time of
war, q system by which time will be
almost obliterated, while there will be
no danger Of the courier falling into
the hands of the foe.
The means Is an ordinary cannon,
from which q dispatch boom" can be
fired to the distance to which shell
is sent. The projectile Is a cylinder or
sphere so constructed as to insure Its
flight, it's explosion at the proper time,
its breaking into harmless fragments
and at the same time unfolding trail
ing streamer of any color preferred
containing the message.
A dispatch at night could be made
of luminous ribbon, so as to be readily
| found in the darkness while the shell
itself would be so pyrotechnic in char
acter that it would plainly indicate Its
course while in the sky and be easily
seen at its explosion. The shell, which
can be timed so as to explode at any
point desired, is so arranged that wher
explosion takes place the sides Of the
projectile will fall apart, releasing the
ribbon on which the message is writ
ten and allowing 1t to trail on the
| ground.
This method will obviate the diff

during the Civil War. Captured cour
iers have been the reason Of on

A Brotherly Greeting.

Pretty speeches are not so character
istic of the Briton as Of some of his
southern neighbors. During the siege
of Ladysmith a certain young English
man, the heir to a dukedom, was
among the victorious soldiers who en-
tered the city. His brother had been
confined there and as soon as possible
the young men got together. An OBJ
server says they shook hands heartily,
looked into one another's eyes, then
turned their heads aside and resolute-
" gulped down-something. Il say"
began the future duke with a mighty
effort, "old Tom, the gardener, is
dead" "Oh, l say" replied the other.
Then they walked away together.
Each knew that the other was glad to
see him, but, being a Briton, was too
manly to be more ELUSIVE.

the next dance. A color soft as roses
spread over cheek and neck, she hand

Shattered Dignity.

The crude humor that makes the
small boy want to throw a stone at a
silk hat on a man bristling with dignity
is not to be disposed of as a mere ILL
conceived prank of youth. There is
deep in most people spring of unsub-
duable humor that leaps gleefully
when conscious dignity gets fair tum-
BILE. That is why, for all the solemn1ty
of the place, the soberest charity and
the best-bred propriety in the world
could not prevent a litter at a little
farce that happened once in a church
in Brooklyn.
A gentleman and his wife, who were
offended at something the preacher
said, gravely rose and stalked toward
the door, with their heads held high in
assertive disdain. The wife followed
the husband.

way down the aisle, the husband drop

IIinnid Air Power.

The result of tests of a liquid air
plant made at Cornell University, re-
ported at the Pittsburg meeting Of the
American Association for the Advance

penditure of one horse power continu-
ously for one hour results in the pro-
duction of just enough liquid air to

experimenter adds that the most eff

reduced to a minimum. Now a new
invention has been made which will
enable them to march with still great
er ease. This invention is a shoe
which, instead Of the customary hard
and stiff sole, has sole to which
springs are fitted. Under the heel Is
an ordinary spring and under the ball
of the foot is one which Is shaped like
a hoof. When the foot is at rest the
spring in the back is pressed down and
the one in Front is slightly raised. Sim
ilarly the two springs adapt them
selves to every motion of the foot
when it is in action. Another advant-
age which this shoe possesses is that,
when a shoe is worn out a new one
can very quickly be substituted for It.

Fate, the humorist, determined that the
wife should keep her head so high that
she did not see her husband stoop. She
went sailing on and doubled over him
in riotous confusion.
The congregation held its breath and
kept it's composure. The two recovered
themselves and went on. Hoping to
escape quickly, they turned to what
looked like side door. The husband
pulled it open with an impressive
swing. Before he could close it out
tumbled the window-pole, long dust
er and a step-ladder. The congregation
could hold its mirth no longer, and man
and wife fed to the real exit in undig-
nified haste, amid general and per-
vasive smoker.
