BAYoNETs.

1t is phrase merely 10 those of us
who do not know war at first hand:
Then the men threw themselves on
the bayonets of the enemy" 1t sounds
desperate and dramatic, but this ac-
count in Blackwood's Magazine by a
naval sub-lieutenant at Port Arthur
shows what 1t really means:
For thirty long minutes a hand-to-
hand struggle had continued. Men
threw grenades in each others faces.
Half demented Samurai flung them
selves upon the bayonets Of the dozen
Muscovites that held the traverse in
the trench Who shall say that the
day of the bayonet is past? Although
there was not a breech that had not
its cartridge in the chamber. yet men
reused 10 the limit Of their animal fury
overlook the mechanical appliances
that make war easy. They tiirsted to
come to grips, and to grips they came.
But 1t had to end. Tie old colonel
had fought his way through his own
men TO the very point OF the struggle.
He stood on the parapet, and his rich
voice for a second curbed the fury Of
the wild creatures struggling beside
him.
Throw yourselves ON their bayonets,
honorable comrades-' he shouted.
Those who come behind will do the
rest"
His men heard him; his officers heard
him. Eight stalwarts dropped their
rifles, held their hands above their
heads and flung themselves against
the traverse. Before the Russian de-
Tenders could extricate the bayonets
from their bodies the whole pack of the
war-dogs had surged over them. The
trench was won.

and the troopers were accorded an ex-

Several of the cavalrymen were
thrown from their horses during the
excitement of the roundup and were
forced to scurry behind trees for
safety as the maddened buffaloes
would charge blindly at anything in
their path.
Like bull. the buffalo viii charge
an obstacle with his eyes on the
ground unable to see ahead at the
time. and more than one bison turned
somersaults as a result of colliding
with trees in their blind fury.
1t required several hours OF the
hardest kind of work on the part OF
the troopers before the buffaloes were
finally headed back to the park.

Niagara Falls. August 1.-THE
volume of water being diverted
from the historic Niagara Falls is
reaching such proportions that the
people OF the State are trying to pass
laws which will prevent the POSSIBLE
ity OF a practical wiping out of this
sublime natural spectacle.
Water sufficient to develop nearly
five hundred thousand horsepower
continuously. twenty-four hours per
day. for industrial purposes. is now
being taken from the river above the
Falls, and further developments re-
quiring more water are contemplated.
Probably the largest user of the
electricity produced by the waters of
the mighty river is the concern which
by the five or six thousand degree
beat OF the electric furnace brings
lime and coke into unwilling union,
thereby producing what is known as
Calcium Carbide.
Dry calcium carbide is lifeless as
so much broken rock, but in contact
with water 1t springs into activity and
begets abundantly the gas Acetylene.
The light resulting from the ignition
of acetylene is the nearest approach
to sunlight known.
These facts. though of compara-
lively recent discovery. were soon
seized by men with an eye to the com
mercial possibilities and to-day cal.
cium carbide is being shipped every
where and used for dispelling dark
ness in buildings of all descriptions
from the ordinary barn of the farmer
to the country villa of the wealthy. as
well as for lighting the streets of a
large number of towns. Acetylene
can be easily and cheaply installed
and the manufacture and sale OF
acetylene generators has become O
business of recognized standing. has
assumed large proportions and Is
steadily growing.

AMERICAN SAILORS IN BATTLE


Gardner w. Allen, in his recent book,
Our Navy and the Barbary Corsairs,"
retells the story of how Commodore
Stephen Decatur, then lieutenant in
the United States Navy, attacked n
Tripolitan vessel. The incident oc-
Cured in 1901. when Preb!e was lying
Off Tiipoll. Young Decatur had been
told that the captain of this vessel
had trsacherously murdered his
brother, John Decatur, after he had
surrendered TO him. Mr.. Allen writes:
-'He ran alongside and at once boarded
with Macdonough and the remnant of
his crew Decatur singled out the cap
tain, man of great size and strength,
and attacked him furiously. The
Trlpolitan made a thrust with his
boarding pike and, in attempting to
parry the blow, Decatur's cutlass was
broken off at the hilt, leaving him for
the moment unarmed. Another thrust
of the pike wounded him in the arm.
Decatur seized the weapon, wrenched
it away and grappled with his aniag-
onist. After short struggle they fell
TO the deck, with Decatur on top.
Meanwhile, the two crews were
fighting furiously about their leaders,
and Tripolitan aimed blow at De-
catur's head with his scimitar, when a
seaman named Daniel Frazier, having
both arms disabled by wounds, inter
posed his head and received the blow.
which laid open the scalp. The Tripod
itan captain, being more powerful than
Decatur, soon turned him underneath
and, holding him, down with his left
hand, drew knife and was about to
plunge it into his breast.
Decatur seized the uplifted arm with
his left hand, while he managed to get
his right into his pocket, where he had
pistol Giving it the proper direc-
tion, he fired through the pocket. The
giant relaxed his hold and fell dead.
Having lost seventeen killed, including
their leader, the seven surviving Trip
olitans, four of whom were wounded
soon gave up the fight"

xoPEs A cALIFoRNIA LION.

\ fight worthy of being recountcd in
any tale of thrilling adventure was
enacted on the Morrow ranch, which
lies on the Mount Hamilton range ex-
tending from the observatory south
for many miles. writes correspondent
from San Jose. Cal. During the last
month Il. F. Robinson, foreman of tie
ranch, had noticed that their young
colts were decreasing in numbers with
alarming rapidity- Almost every morn
ing the mangled carcass of colt
would be found. Tracks around the
slaughtered animals told the story of
the mountain lion. A close watch was
kept, but the depredations continued as
before ana the lion evaded- all efforts
to kill him or drive him away.
One morning Robinson, with bunch
of cowboys, was rounding up some
stock in a remote section of the ranch,
when the dog with them started large
animal in thicket. They tried to
send the dog into the bushes, but he
covered away. Suddenly an immense
California lion left the cover and ran
up a large oak tree near by. There
were no weapons in the crowd, and
Robinson was afraid to send one of
the men to the wagon for rifle lest
they lose sight entirely of the animal
Accordingly they formed a Gordon
around the tree and let their riatas at
the lion. The animal stood at bay and
warded off the rawhides with his paws.
The men had almost despaired of ac-
complishing anything, when Selby
1rimble, the crack rider of the Nor
row ranch, volunteered to leave the
circle and climb nearby tree TO on
deavor to cast rope in different
manner. He did this at the risk of
his life. After repeated failures he sue
ceeded when the lions head was turned
the opposite way. The other riatc s
fell quickly one after the other ana
the animal was hung then and there.
The skin is in beautiful condition,
and measures over seven feet from tip
TO tip. 1t is at present at the Sc. lta
