Shrapnel Shell and Family.
the Philadelphia Public Ledger.

From the Philadelphia Public Ledger.
"A gentleman who describes himself as the
Oldest living grandson of the British gem
eral, Shrapnel, inventor of the terrible
death-dealing" shrapnel shell, calls the at
tention OF the British people to the fact
that beyond small pension during the
few closing years of his illustrious an
cestor's life the Shrapnel family has re-
able addition to the worlds death-dea
ing armament. Gen. Shrapnel, 1t seems,
ruined himself by spending considerable
fortune in perfecting his shell, so that at
his death six remaining grandchildren were
left absolutely destitute.
AS far back as 1868 the father of the
present writer petitioned the house of lords
for some reimbursement of the nearly $780,
900 spent by the grandfather in the service
of the army. No attention was paid to his
request The frequent appearance of the
WORD "shrapnel'' in the newspapers in con-
nection with the Russo-Japanese war has
embroidered the present representative of
that benefactor of humanity to try again.
Shrapnel Is simply a thin-sided metal

ne.jc poles and the electric current in the
coils of wire cause the armature to revolVe
with sucr tremendous energy as to move
che train-the motion of its axle belna
transmitted to an axle of the car wheels
by a simple gearing.
This current reaches the car through the
third rail, or in the case of the trolley
through an overhead or underground wire.
All that is essential is that some conduct
ing medium, such as an iron rail or cop
per wire, shall form an unbroken connec-
ton between the motor apparatus ana
the central dynamo, where The power is

ponGerous affair suggestive to the untech-
meal mind of impenetrable mysteries. Yet
in reality it Is device essentially the
same in construction with the motor when
drives the train. That Is to say, its unit
of construction consists of a wire-wound
ar1nature revolving on an axle and lifted
between the poles of an electromagnetic.
Hero, however, the sequence of phenomena
is reversed for the armature, instead of
receiving a current of electricity, is made
to revolve by a belt adjusted to its axle
and driven by a steam engine. The wire

netic force which connect the two poles

away to reach in due course the third rail
or the trolley wire, and ultimately to pro-
pei the motor.

Growth of the Institution.
There are now Isl officers, clerks and
instructors, and 375 persons residing In
model community, in addition to the
students and teachers; 1853 buildings OF
various sizes and for various purposes, of
which ninety-eight are owned by the school
and used for educational purposes. The re-
mainder are the homes of teachers and en-
ployes. The school owns 2,600 acres of
land practically in one block, of which
500 acres are now under cultivation; 600
acres are pasture and the remainder Is
woodland upon which the students cut logs
for lumber to erect the building and wood
for burning brick and heating purposes.
The land cost less than $40 per acre; much
of it is today worth more than $500 an
acre.
All of the teachers and employees are col
ored, except two-Rev. Mr.. Bedford of
Beloit. Wis. the general agent, and Daniel

Every building upon the grounds was de-
signed and erected by the faculty and stu

dozen of them cost more than $4,000 each,
the maximum representing an investment
of $50 600 without counting the labor. The

Variety in Styles of Shoes.
From the Shoe Retailer.


The variety of new styles for spring and
summer covers a broader range than ever
before, and the introduction of new feathers
and new colors has made possible new COM
binations and artistic effects never before
attempted in footwear.
The choicest goatskins of Morocco have
been tanned in beautiful shades of the
fashionable colors and made up in very
attractive afternoon shoes for women.
Pumps of patent leather and dull kid,
with stiff leather bows to match, will be
used for dress occasions.
Tan Russia calfskin and Russia goatskin
and white shoes of duck and buckskin will
divide popular favor for outdoor affairs in
the summer.
Gun kid and gun metal calf in light
weights are the newest features of mems
and womens shoes, and both appear to be
rapidly gaining in popularity. These
feathers have dull, rich luster, and are
easily kept in condition. They are shown
in Oxfords and evening pumps.
Pumps are again becoming generally
popular as a gentleman's evening dress

wis agreed that when any member was
about to be married dinner should be held
which all within reach should attend-the
bachelors to pay. Marriage seemed far
away then, and the bachelors thought the
divided expense would be inconsiderable
Years passed, and now and again the an
nouncement of another marriage was sent
round. They met. coming from various
walks of life--soldier. barrister, solicitor

critical moment and hesitated to jump.

collected engineer shuts off steam, applies
