THERE IS a woman prominent in Washing
ton official circles who is noted for her
love of Jewels and her tendency 70 wear as
many as possible on social occasions.
At recent dinner TO the diplomatic corps
she was in high feather. She wore diamond
neck. In course of the evening she complained
of feeling chilly, and bade one of the servants
bring her maid. When the latter appeared,
the hostess, shivering slightly, said.

ZULU TACTICS OF WARFARE,

Formation That Has Been Employed
by Beers and British.
Once more the rising of the some Of
the Natal natives has turned mems
thoughts to the famous Zulu tactics.
In the minds of most these are associa-
ed with the name Of Tyaka, the ruth
less Zulu conqueror, who welded into
the stock of the Amazulu, the people
of the Heavens, all the young men of
the various tribes he conquered, incor-
porating them into regiments, and thus
building up a powerful military nation.
Yet 1t was to Dingisiwayo, the Wan
derer, that the inception was due, says
South Africa. This man, the son Of the
chief of the Umtetwa, was driven into
exile in consequence of an abortive plot
to seize the reins Of power. During that
exile he lived in Cape Colony and saw
the military methods and organization
of the British. With instructive genius
he saw how the idea could be adopted
to his own nation, and on his return
and accession to the chieftainship he
divided up his people into regiments,
distinguished them by names and by a
special color of shield for each regi-
ment, though for q time they retained
the umkonto or throwing assegai as
their chief weapon. He heard Of the
great use made by the British infan-
! try of their favorite weapon, the bayo-
net and so he replaced the unkonto
by the ixwa, or broad bladed stabbing
assengai.
The peuculiarity of the Zulu tactics
has earned it the name of the crecent
formation for attack, and it is note
worthy that, broadly speaking, it is the
method employed by the Beers in their
invasion of Natal and adopted by Lord
: Roberts In his advance through Orange
River Colony, and it was the fear its
success which kept the Beers continual
on the run. 1.-THE best thing with
which to compare it is the head of the
stag headed beetle, Horns are throYr

out widely on either flank, while the
main body forms the head itself. From
the main body small force is detach-
ed to engage the enemy while the horns
creep round the tinaks.
This force in the days of Tyaka was
frequently despatched with the COM
mand go, sons of Zulu, go and return
no more" and death at the hands Of
their fellows was the fate of those who
retired. While this force was holding
the enemy the horns carried out their
task, if possible, and as soon as a signal
was given that the two horns had met
in the rear of the enemy the head or
chest was launched upon the position,
and in the upshot, as o rule, the whole
force of the foe tasted the assengal. For
in that war no quarter was given or
asked.
Perhaps no grander military spectacle
was ever seen than that which mark
ed the last use of these tactics on a
grand scale. In the gray, cold dawn Of
July 4, 1879, the British mounted men
began to cross the drifts Of the White
Umvolosi River, where it swept In q
horseshoe bend around the camp they
had held for ten days. Forward they
went as a screen before the infantry
which had been formed in hollow square

angles an din the centre of each force

and at last retired to the shelter Of tht
square. Then the onlookers, Of whom

inspiring spectacle. On either flank &
force advanced in tribe line Of columns

JuP1rER's RED SPOT.

This Now Visible, in Addition to Its
Pale Blue, Crimson and Sea Green
Belts.
w. F. Denning Of Bristol, England,
one of the most noted observers of the
heavenly bodies, announces the dis
covery of a new red spot of dark
material In the north equatorial belt
and north tropical zone Of the planet
Jupiter. The first observation was
made on April 10 in sunshine, and
seemed nearly as plain as the shadow
of one Of Jupiters satellites. A few
days afterward the same region of this
giant planet came under review ana
the red spot was central at h. rs M,
longitude 31.16
Mr.. Denning makes an interesting
observation which 1t is supposed may,
in a measure, relate to disturbances in
the solar system and their relation to
phenomena on the earth, He says that

during the present opposition Of Jupi-
ter the north equatorial and north tenn
perative belts nave been extremely
faint, but the former recently develop
ed a much deeper tone and particular
ly in that section lying north of the
red spot.
This observation of the English as
tronomer comedies with deductions
heretofore made by number Of mod
ern solor physicists, that during eight
successive periods, from ITO down,
there were approximate condolences
between Jupiters apheiion passages
and sun spot maxima, and that in the
middle curve, variations in vertical dis
tances correspond to the difference in

quency which may indicate real con-
neotion the phenomena.
The great belts which stretch across
the disc of this giant planet have long
been matter Of scientific interest, and
now the scientific world is informed
OF the oval red spot along with the pale
blue, crimson and sea-green belts which
extends across a globe of $4,000 miles
in diameter. This oval spot, says Mr..
Denning. can be distinctly seen two
hours before sunset.
Scientists have long noted the re-
senblance between the surface of the
sun and Jupiter and, taken in connec-
ton with the brightness of the planet,
this had led to the question whether
Jupiter may or may not be in whole or.
in part self-luminous. Speaking OF
Jupiter, Professor Newcon1b says: "On
the whole we may describe Jupiter as
a small sun, Of which the surface has
cooledsoff till it no longer enits light"
1T Is seen, therefore, that Jupiter has
greater or less resemblance to the
sun in its physical constitution, a view
which quite corresponds with its as
pect IN the telescope. A dull light is
sent from parts of the planets surface
besides what II reflects, as though it
We're still feebly glowing like nearly
extinguished sun; and, on the whole,
the main interest of these features lies
in the presumption they create that
the great planet is not yet fit to be the
the abode Of life, but is more probably
in condition like that of the earth Of
years ago.
The late Professor S. P. Langley
said: "The immense and sudden per-
turbations In the atmosphere of Jupiter
and the SCARED surface Of the moon
seem to be evidences of analogous
phenomena common to the whole solar
| system, not wholly unoonnected with
those of earthquakes. and which we
can still study in the active volcanoes

Speaking Of his observation Mr.. Den
ming says that In this phenomena we
have a repetition Of that in the sprine
of $780, at which time some of the sa
tellites Of Jupiter while passing owe

spots, as noticed by Sir John Herschel

scHLEY As a It1IIMoRTsT.

Ia prominent naval officer tells a
story, that exhibits Admiral schley
somewhat in the light of a humorist.
Some years ago Shley was in COM
mand of one of the old navy ships that
was fitting out at the Brooklyn Navy
Yard for a foreign cruise. Now, naval
officers of the wardroom carry a lot Of
beer with them they start on cruise.
They are not, as rule, heavy drinkers,
but they like beer at mess with their
meals. This beer is taken on board in
bottles packed In straw and placed in
immense hogsheds.
1t appears that a few days before
Schley's vessel was to sail for a for
eign station, a large party of Brooklyn
Sunday school teachers visited the ship
in a body. The party was much inter
ested in watching the crew stow and
break the stores.
n the main deck stood one Of the big
hogsheads packed full Of beer bottles
that had been ennptled. This hogshead
OF empty bottles was about to be hoist
ed, There was no way for the uinitiat-
ed to tell whether they were filled OF
empty; but the Sunday school teachers
Immediately concluded that the bottles
were loaded. Accordingly they regard.
ed the hogshead with stern disapproval
After a hurried consultation they de-
termined to send delegate to the com
mander with reference TO the hatel
hogshead.
"sir," said the former to Schley, q
is matter Of deep regret that you
vessel should carry such huge guam
tity of intoxicants."
The quick-witted Schley knew a
once that the hogshead WIS at the bot
tom of the trouble; but he did not ''le
ON" So, when the emissary spoke o
the many, many beer bottles he ha
/ seen, schley exclaimed. why, it,
simply schocking!", Then, with hi
visitor, he left the cabin and repaire
, to the main deck. ''Bos'un's mate" h
: called out, "send me some deckhands a
: once" The hands were aft in an II
slant.
: 'iRig a tackle and dump that hogs
! head over the side," ordered Schley.
!. The sailors, who knew that the BOZ
t ties were empty, were all grins, but
a jiffy they had the hogshead over tn
g side into the water. The Brook
: party loked on approvingly, and whe
