EXPANDING BULLETS.
Those Found in Cronje's Lager Had
Belonged to English.

FoLl the SucaheT.
Perhaps in some respects the most extra
ordinary revelations in detail concern our
ammunition. We learn from the evidence
that at one time we were reduced to two
or three boxes of Mark II ammunition, so
that If there had been a war with conti-
mental power we should have been obliged
to fight with expanding bullets, a proceed
ing all the powers had condemned as bar
barous We made 66.OO0,O00 rounds of ex-
plosive bullets. and then had to condemn
them because they We're dangerous to our
own troops
These revelations by the way, raise a.
moral issue of some Importance to Lord
Roberts reputation Sir Henry Bracken-
bury explained that Mark ~ ammunition
was abandoned because it was found to be
dangerous to the user in a hot climate. I'VE
had every intention of using this bullet and
making it. in fact the bullet for the Brit
ish army all over the world, and l think
&C 100000 of it up to March 81, 1897, had
been delivered. = The reason why we
did not use the expanding bullet in South
Africa was not The Hague convention, how
ever. but because the Mark ~ ammunition,
our expanding ammunition, had proved I'M
fit to be used in war.
Now Lord Roberts. as commander in chief
in South Africa. must surely have been ac-
quainted with these facts. Yet on March
II. 1900. he wrote to President Steyn to
complain of two things-the abuse of the
white flag and the discovery of explosive
bullets. Parl. Paper. Cd. 100, 1900 "A
large quantity of explosive bullets of three
different kinds was found in Cronjes lager
and after every engagement with your hon
ors troops. Such breaches of the recognize
ed usages of war and of the Geneva con-
vention are a disgrace to any civilized
power A copy of this telegram has been
sent to my government. with a request that
it may be communicated to all neutral pow
ers."
Presidene Steyn replied that the bullets
had been taken from British troops, and it
has been officially admitted that some Of
these bullets had been used in South Afri-
ca. But what is to be said Of a field mar
shall who describes ''as a disgrace to any
civilized power" the use Of bullets which
he had only been prevented from using be-
cause they were dangerous to the user?

Nancy Hopewell was far from being an

night to dawn were quiet ones though the
breeze grew stronger as. the night advanced
and when dawn came at last an angry sea
was getting up. and there were indications
that half a gale would be blowing before
noon. The captain and Nancy were on
deck at the first signs of dawn, and, as the
been sent to the masthead to survey the
waters cried down TO the decks:

Danger Gives Amusement.
m the London World.

FROM the LonCOn World
1t would seem as If no amusements where
in some element Of danger does not enter
are ever thoroughly enjoyed. We English
folk may take our pleasures sadly in the
bulk, but when they are of an outdoor ma
ture there is no doubt whatever that they
cannot be too exciting or too dangerous to
please us. 1t is just because motoring is
full of the possibilities of mishaps that it
has become so enormously popular, espe-
cially with women. who are ever most
ready to face death in pursuit of pleasure,
despite the fact that they are always de-
scr1bed as bundles of nerves Alpine guides
declare that women are quite as intrepid as
men when dangerous peaks are to be climb
ed; and when every one cycled it was in
variably the girls of party who rode the
fastest. riske3 the worst hills and brayed
the thickest traffic. While the pluck of En-
glish women is to be admired by hood and
field. 1t is always just as well to keep before
them the fact that the lives Of others are
sometimes placed in jeopardy by this very
intrepidity. Foolhardy expeditions. reck-
less driving and riding, carelessness on the
river and a general disregard of danger sig
mails and the advice of those who know. too
often mean not only personal risk and ac-
cident. but danger and maybe death to
others.

seventy desperate and well-armed cut
threats. More than two-thirds Of the row.
er's crew were stretched on deck when the
remainder surrendered. When they had
been secured it was found that eight of
those who had gone down were dead, and
that two of the Eastern Stars men had
been killed and four wounded. Capt. Hope
well had led one contingent, and the Eng
lishman the other, and their ringing battle
cries and stout strokes had kept their men
up to desperate work. They came out of
the fray blood-stained and in tatters, but
neither had received a wound of cOnse-
Quence.
The women and children, who had been
warned to keep to the cabin, remained
there only until the decks of the Mary
Ann were clear of the pirates. Then every
soul, even to the child of five, came on
deck to witness the battle, and. led by
Nancy. they cheered encouragement to hus-
bands and brothers who were welding the
stout oak sticks They were there to wei

England had a great hanging day few
months later when those pirate prisoners
were convicted There were .thrty-twO of
them. and every deserved his fate.
Still later on the rover craft and the plum
der were sold. and there are ancient records
in Salem to show that Captain Hopewell re-
ceived generous share of the prize money.
The Mary Ann was broad off the Bay
of B.scay when her decks were cleared of
the rescued people. and she steered
straight course for her port and reached it
without further adventure. The good
craft was almost in sight of Boston again
before Captain Elisha suddenly looked up
from his chart to say to his wife:

'Well?" she queried. without lifting her
eyes from the carpet rags, the last of which
she was sewing together

The Dahlia.
From the Chicago News.

Dahlias are growing in popularity, and
dahlia shows held in some cities. In the
wild plant the flowers are single, with a
dull ray and yellow disk: the varieties Of
the cultivated form are almost endless The
plant was discovered in Mexico by Vincent
Cervantes about 1874. and was first taken
to the botanic gardens Of Madrid, and the
same year 1t was introduced into England
by the Marehioness of Butte. The plant be-
came extinct in that country, and was
again taken thither in 1904. In that year
is found the earliest mention Of the dahlia
named from Andrew DAHL, Swedish bot
anist and pupil of Linnaeus In Mexico the
tuhers are cultivated as food on account of
the quantity of inulin. they contain, but
elsewhere. though many times tried, they
never have become popular, being regarded
as unpalatable.
