COLONEL CULLEN
VISITING HERE
Participated With the Japan
eSe in the Siege OF
Port Arthur
INVENTOR OF CULLEN GUN

Colonel Orlan c. Cullen, a man who
has done more fighting in wars in re-
cent years than probably any other
man in the United States is visiting
in Wilmington. He has just arrived
here from Panama and is stopping at
the Nelson. No. 9O1 Tatnall street.
Colonel Cullen has not only seen
some exciting times, but is the in
ventor of the well-known Cullen ball
bering rifle gun recently tested for
the United States government at
Sandy Hook under the auspices of
Lieutenant Zabriskie, ordnance in
spector at Sandy Hook. and dis
tinguished gathering Of army and
navy officers. The test was salts
fctory one aud it is probable that the
government will adopt the new gun.
Ball Bearing Gum
In the Cullen gun. the bore is filled
with grooves containing balls which
project one-twentieth of their diameter
into the bore. In consequence the pro-
iectile in its travel through the bore
instead Of scraping on angular groves
rolls out easily. BY this invention
the friction is reduced 60 per cent anC
the velocity, penetration and range Il
increased 40 per cent. The strain ol
the walls of the bore is reduced ant
the life of the gun prolonged in
definitely. AS evidence Of this one o
the 6-pounders tested by the govern
ment showed that after being fire
5000 times, It was only per cent les
effected than when first fired. Tn
maximum life of a 12-inch gun is 81
rounds.
Colonel Cullen is now making gun
in Austria, Japan and the Unite
states for different countries. He
here on business connected with n
gun and is shipping ordinance matel
ial through this city to Europea
ports.

"COON" LOCKED IN ICEBOX:
LIKE ICICLE WHEN RESCUED
Terrible Experience of CoLored Porter of Neso York
Hotel Finally .SaUed by His CongeaLed
Think Tank.

New York.-Alexander Beck, bar
porter OF the Marlborough hotel, spent
all his spare time the other day
wherever he could find the most sun
shine, and in the meantime as he " went
about his duties his joints creased
and rasped like the rusty hinges c. a
door.
All that was because Beck is not
yet thawed cut. 1t will be several
days, he thinks. before his arteries
and veins are running unclogged by
floating ice and the dampness gets out
OF his bones and sockets. He was al
most frozen to death the day before,
and had 1t not been for a trapped
presence Of mind that came to him
in the last extremity he might hsve
been entirely frozen.
His duties are many and varic Is
1t is he who must keep the barkeap-
ers supplied with everything they
need In the compounding of the drink
ing called for by the patrons. He must
never allow the ice bins to become
empty, the mint to become exhausted
or the cherries and other fruit to be
wanting, while the lemon juice bottle
is a particular charge of his. He usu-
ally works below stairs and appears
and disappears at intervals.
He does his principal work shifting
the beer kegs, watching the mineral
waters, stirring up the fruits and
managing the straws and other
things in the refrigerator. 1t is there
also he keeps his lemons. and to save
time, 1t is there he squeezes them.
The Marlborough cold room is ont
under the sidewalk, and a narrow pas
sage leads to it's heavy wood and
iron door. two feet thick. 1t is a mas
sive room all around, stored with
casks and crates. with the pipes coat
ed with about six inches of snow run
ming in all directions. The tempera-
ture is kept around freezing all the
time. and about ten minutes is enough
OF 1t for Beck ordinarily. Then he
gees out and exercises.
Beck went in there to squeeze the
lemons. and was peacefully engaged
in the process when watchman came
along through the underground laby-
rilth. Beck had left the massive
door Just on the crack, but the rays
of the electric light he used did not
come through. The watchman saw
only that the door was not shut, and
muttering something about careless
ness, slammed it and threw the lock
over.
Beck was prisoner. Unless some
body came to open the door he would
remain one, for kicks, shouts, screams
and everything else would avail moth
ing through those thick walls. He
suddenly remembered that he had
given the barkeepers above an extra
supply, and they would not be down
to look for him for hours. He looked
at an ice-coated pole in the corner
and thought what he would be then.
He felt his body chilling gradually,
and when nervous perspiration came
out on his forehead the drops fell on
the floor like marbles. He tried to
dance, but there was not room, SO he
practiced on juggling lemons. His

Of Food
the Cause Of

If your teeth are fit, chew, chew,

If teeth are faulty, soften Grape
Nuts with hot milk or cream, or

There's a reason" as follows:
Grape-Nuts food is in the form
of hard and brittle granules,
intended to be ground up by the
teeth; that work not only preserves
the teeth but brings down the saliva
from the gums so necessary in the
primary work of digestion.
Many people say (and it is true)
that when they eat Grape-Nuts they

food but other kinds which formerly

up in dispair when he gave shrek
Of delight. He remembered that the
valves Of the air pumps attached to
the beer spiggots of the bar were in
the room. Giving a very good imita-
ton of an arctic avalanche, he rolled
over to the casks and grabbed the
valves. When he turned around final
ly he had shut OF every spiggot in
the floor above and then he sat down
to wait.
He had not long to wait, for ten
minutes later the manager came down
stairs. with harsh words on his lips
for the porter who would allow the
air to run out of the pumps. Not find
ing the pumps, he opened the valve
himself, and the next minute he was
carrying Beck out into the open air.
He had been in that room little more
than an hour, according to estimates.
He was at once thrown into a tub
of ice water and by degrees melted
enough to take long breath and tell
what had happened. 1t was feared he
might receive an attack of pneumonia,
but a physician said he had appeared
to come through it all right except for
the few traces of ice tnat fingered in
the hollows and corners.
