HELPS FOR TOWN BUILDERS.

strangers TO town form their
opinions as to its people by the ap-
pearance of the business places and
the residences. In a town where the
buildings are dinsy and dirty, and the

there is lack of enterprise. 1t pays
the business men of town to be care

BULLETS THAT SHED LIGHT
New Weapon of German Army H.
Eliminates the Battlefield in
Novel Manner.

An interesting novelty that has
been recently introduced into the
German army is a revolver which
fires Illuminating bullets. The
weapon has the general appearance
of the regular service revolver, but
is larger in caiber and in general
dimensions. The bullets, after be-
ing fired, become highly illuminate
ing. The discharge is practically
noiseless: the bullet rises about 100
Yards and has a range of about the
same distance. Wherever the bullet
alights the landscape is lit up as
brilliantly as by daylight for about
half a minute. This enables attack
ing troops to reconnoiter effectively,
and readily to detect the presence of
an enemy. On falling to the ground
or on buildings the Illuminating bull
lets do not set fire to combustble OBJ
jects, and they are therefore not
dangerous to use in localities where
fire might be as dangerous to the
attacking troops as to the enemy.

AN ANCIENT NATURE FAKIR.
The Famous Story of ADdrOcIus and
 the Lion of Retranslated.

Those whose childhood was nourish- ed on "Sandford and Merton will probably remember the story of Andro- cius and the lion, although they may have forgotten some of Mir. Barlow's edifying dialectic, resulting invariably ia the confusion of Tommy But even some very good scholars are not aware that this famous story has been pre- served to us in that mine of curious learning. the Attic Nights" of Auus Gellius (v., 14,) It is there given on the authority of Apion Pleistonlces, a man famous in his time, This is how he told the story:
 "A great fight with wild beasts was being exhibited to the people in the Circus Maximus. Happening to be in Rome at the time, I attended as a spec tator. There were many savage, many huge beasts, and all were remarkable either for their shape or ferocity. But ii was above all the monstrous size of the lions that excited admiration, and, beyond all the rest, of one. This par ticular lion by his velocity and dread ful size, by his terrific and resounding roar, by his muscles and his waving mane, had attracted to himself the at-

tention and gaze of all. Among several others who had been brought in to fight with the beasts was Androclus. When tkat lion caught sight of him in the distance, all of a sudden he stopped as if in astonishment, and then, as though recognizing him, walked up to him quietly Then he wagged his tail in a caressing way, as dog does when fawning on you, and, having come quite close, gently licked the legs and hands of the man, who was by this time al- most dead with fear. Amid these blan- dlshments, however, of the awful beast
 Androclus recovered his lost self-pos- esion and began to direct his gaze at the lion. Then their recognition seemed mutual, and you might have seen man and lion evineing every sign of joy and satisfaction. This surprising inci- dent was hailed with loud shouts by the people and Androelus was sum- moned by the emperor and asked the reason why so ferocious lion had spared him in particular.
 Then Androclus related a wonderful story that might well raise our ad- miration. When my master he said, was proconsu of Africa, 1 was driven to run away, owing to the unjust and daily hogging which I received from him, and 10 make my retreat safer from my master, who was governor of the country, l retired into lonely fields
 and deserts, determined, if food should fail me, to seek death by some means
 or other. Then, when the mid-day sun was seorching and blazing, I came across a remote cavern, which was just the place to hide in, and into it I made my way and concealed myself there. No. long afterward this lion came to the same cavern, with one foot disabled and bleeding, uttering groans and low growls that seemed to express pity for his pain and the torture of the wound. Hereupon he declared that at the first sight of the approaching lion
