A curious feature about the evolu-
tion in methods Of hunting was the
hesitation with which gunpowder was
taken up by the great mobiles. Not only
did 1t take quite a century to familiar
lie hunters with it, but the evidence
that has come down to us shows that
the humble classes were the first to
use 1t for shooting game. Macmillan,
ardent sportsman that he was, tells us
himself that he could shoot farther
and with greater accuracy with his
crossbow than his keeper could with
the fire tube. To prove this he tells us
the well known story of a certain
chamois standing at 200 fathoms,
which, after being pronounced as too
far off by his henchman. who was arm
ed with one Of the transporting firearms
mentioned in print, comes tumbling
down, pierced at the first attempt by
the emperor's bolt. From other sources
we learn of strict measures being
adopted to prevent poachers and "wood
loafers" using firearms. and this at
period when princes still used the
cumbrous crossbow and spear. 1t was
only In the last quarter of the six
teenth century that firearms had oust
| ed other weapons for certain forms Of
| the chase, the deer battue being among
| the latter.-Gentleman's Magazine.

The Black sea, which in some parts
has a depth of more than 6,500 feet, is
poisoned by sulphureted hydrogen
wherever the water Is deeper than
1,2OO feet. This accounts for the curl
Gus fact that there is no organic life
below that depth, excepting perhaps
some bacteria of very low order, i'm
pregnated with sulphur. The causes
for this phenomenon are explained
by the quick outflow Of the fresh wa
ter through the Bosporus, while salt
water coming from the Mediterranean
enters through deeper current into
the depths Of the Black sea. The wa
ters on the surface are, therefore, con-
trolled absolutely by horizontal cur
rents of considerable force, and verti-
cal currents which might carry the
noxious gases from the bottom to the
surface and fresh oxygen from the
surface to the bottom are hardly ever
noticeable. The water at great depths
Is so saturated with sulphuric gas by
the disintegration Of organic matter
sinking to the bottom by reason Of its
weight that no fish or other living be-
ing which needs oxygen for Its organic
system can exist beyond stated
| depth.

a young man in panama hat and

In at the window.

HORSE DROPS DEAD.
Policemen Investigate and Report
That Animal Was Electrocuted.

Mrs. Georgeanna Lilly, colored, had an
exciting experience last evening about 80
o'clock while driving a horse attached to a
buggy along Sth street southeast between
l. and NJ streets. The animal stopped sud
denly and fell, result being that the
woman was thrown from the seat. Mrs.
Lilly thought the animal had merely
stumbled and fallen, and she was sur
prised when she found that death had
occurred c. D. Townley of 61S 23d street
owned the animal and he had loaned it to
Mrs. Lilly, who contemplated the pure Sc
of a horse. Before closing the deal Mrs
Lilly thought she would like to drive the
animal over the country road to test it's
qualities.
The suggestion was made that death
might have been caused by the horse step
ping on the cover of a hanhole of conduit
charged with electricity, although eIectri-
clans who were summoned to make an in
vestigation declared that such could ha idly
have been the case. Policemen of the fifth
precinct made an investigation and re-
ported that the horse had been electro
cuted.

WAS DUE TO ACCIDEN T
CoRoNERS OPINION IN CASE OF
ROBERT LEE DONALDSON.

John B. Horton. the six-year- boy who
shot and killed Robert Lee Donaldson, one
year his Junior, was released from custody
late yesterday afternoon by direction OF
Acting Coroner Glazebrook. The police
learned that the Horton boy had been pay
ing with the pistol more than two hours be,
fore the fatal shot fired, one of his
neighbors advising him to put It away about
8 O'Clock in the morning.
Acting Coroner Glazebrook heard the
statements of the police and others. and
promptly reached the conclusion that the
shooting was the result of an accident. He
also realized that there could be no prosecu-
ton in the case because of the age of the
boy. Under the circumstances he deemed
an inquest unnecessary and gave a certifi-
cate Of accidental death. The Horton boy,
who had been taken to the house OF deten-
ton, his mother going with him. was re-
leased.
Mrs. Horton went home with her boy as
soon as the order for his release was re-
ceived. The body of the deceased was re-
moved from the hospital to the Donaldson
home, o2S Columbia road The funeral will
be held tomorrow afternoon, with interment
in Glenwood cemetery.

COMPLICATED SYSTEM
CAUSE OF TROUBLE BETWEEN
sTILLINGs AND MCFARLAND.

The resignation of Mr. H. c. Mcfarland
as superintendent of manufactures of the
government printing Office was accepted
by Public Printer Stillings last Friday. but
for some unexplained re-ion the official an
nouncement of the action has been with
held. In the meantime Assistant superin-
tendent of Manufactures Young Is acting
in that capacity 1t was limited today that
Young may succeed to the vacancy.
AS stated in The Star yesterday the
trouble between Stillings and Mcfarland
grew out of the complicated audit system
which is said to he costing the taxpayers
about $500 per day. 1t was said by an off,
cial today that Stillings sent for Mcfarland
and wanted to know why the presswork
was not being gotten out more promptly.
Mr.. Mcfarland is reported to have replied
that the audit system which requires three
men to do two mems work had tied up the
work
The interview is said to have been a
stormy one, and Mr.. Mcfarland pointed out
that the system had converted the print
cry into primary school for ok-keeping.
and that instead of having printers, press
men, book binders. folders, etc, on the roll,
the list was now made up of amateur au-
ditors and accountants who were too busy
keeping time to pay much attention to the
real work for which the establishment was
intended.
1t was said today that Mr.. Mcfarland
has accepted a position in private Wash
lngton concern, the pay being lucrative
as that of the position he resigned at the
