New Bullet for French Army.

Important improvements have re-
Gently been made in the arms and am
munition of the French infantry
soldier, and new cartridge is shortly
to be issued which combines many
new features. This cartridge is abso,
lutely smokeless, not even giving the
small puff observed with the discharge
of the present cartridges. while it's
bullet is a cigar-shaped cylinder of
bronze. This rcvolves with speed
of $500 turns per second during its
flight, and at $50 yards it will have
sufficient power to penetrate mass
equivalent in bulk and resistance to
six men standing behind one another.
This new cartridge is fired from the
Lebel rife, which is thus brought into

Food for SQUIRRELS.

Most people who feed the gray
squirrels in the big parks fail to rea-
lize that it is no kindness to give
these pretty little animals such soft
shell nuts as almonds, peanuts and
chestnuts. Human beings who do
not have to actually forage for food
naturally enough feel that it is
thoughtfulness itself p save the
squirrels work. The fact is, however,
that squirrels teeth grow so rapid
ly that, deprived of their normal use,
they might even through their very
uselessness become long enough to
put this craming rodent of the trees
in danger Of starvation. Hickory,
pecan and hazel nuts are the prop
er food to throw to the squirrels.

the night through in his bedroom.
In the morning, with pale, haggard
face, he called at Mr.. Perrin's house,

into the drawing room.
He had hardly been there moment
before Walter Jerrard entered the
room. He gazed at Evison in rather
shamefaced manner, but the latter
took no notice of him.
I've asked uncle to get you good
job somewhere" Jerrard blurted out
at length.
Indeed" replied Evison, that was
really very good of you, especially af-
ter your charitable behavior of last
evening"
oh you would have done the same
In my position" sneered Jerrard. Be
sides if you had told uncle what YOU
had seen should have denied it, and
my word is as good as yours any day."
But what about your constant meet
ings with Mortimer near the Beacon?"
Jerrard changed color and glared
malevolently at his companion.
Seems to me you've been watching
me pretty much" he said.
'It was quite an accident; and
while on that subject despite your
friends indisputable prowess in un-
truthfulness, do you think he could
deny this?" AS he spoke Evison ex-
hibited the sheet Of paper on which
Mortimer had commenced to make his
COPY of the tender for the liners.

LANDHoLDERs BILL DisLlkED

of Pending Bill.

GLASGOW, Sept 22-(special Cablegram
to The Bee 1.-Two public bodies in Scotland
have made pronouncement on the small
landholders' bill, which was laid before the
House OF Commons toward the end Of the
session. The first to move was the Banff-
shire liberal association. Mr.. A. w. Black,
the member for Banffshire, told his con-
stituents that this was a splendid bill, that
II would apply to 2,Oo0 landholders In the
county and 30 on. The response OF the
Liberal association was a resolution ap-
proving the object and principles OF the
bill, but expressing disapproval of its chief
detail which Is the introduction of dual
ownership into the land system OF the low
lands. Now the Aberdeen. Banff and Kin
cardine Land Defense association is avow-
edly brought into being by the small land
holders bill and the land tenure bill. It
declares itself anxious to cooperate in
any judicious measures directed to pro-
mote the prosperity of all classes inter-
ested in agriculture and to encourage the
maintenance and extension OF small hold
ings on equitable and economical princi-
pies" But It declares that the two bills
mentioned above contain provisions not
only unjust to the land owners of Scotland,
but also subversive of the security OF pri-
vate property and injurious to the real In
terests OF agriculture and TO the permanent
welfare Of the country districts"

GENEVA, Sept. 22.-,special Cablegram
to The Bee.)-One OF the most thrilling in
cidents in the seasons Alpine climbing has
cost the life of a German school teacher,
who was attempting the ascent of the
Weiszespitze.
Herr Overlook of Aix-la- -Chapelle and
Herr Kueppers OF Bonn, both school
teachers, set out to make the climb with
out the aid of guides, and all went well
until they came to an ice bridge.
Herr Kuepper got over safely. but as
Herr Overlook was crossing. the bridge
gave way and Herr Overlook was pre-
cipitated into the crevasse. hanging from
the rope attached to his friends waist.
Herr Kueppers had neither the support
nor the strength to draw his friend to
safety, and after many futile attempts had
been made Herr Overlook begged him TO
cut the rope, trusting to chance that he
himself might survive the fall, while Herr
Kueppers could hasten for aid.
Finally Herr Kueppers cut the rope and
Herr Overlook fell. Herr Kueppers groped
his way TO safety and told the mountain
eers of this plight of his friend.
A relief expedition found Herr over
becks body at the bottom of the crevasse
next morning. He had, after his fall
cut steps almost to the top OF the peak
and then, with safety only a few feet
away, he slipped. and, falling to the bot
tom. was Titled.
