ATHLETE is 1903 YEARS OLD.
Elisha Miller Boxes All Corners, Al
though He Is centenarian.


Ukiah. Cal.-The entire membership
of the Mayflower Athletic club of Point
Arena helped Elisha Miller celebrate
his one hundred and third birthday an
niversary because he can still do ath
letic stunts with the young men and Ii
no mere novice In the handling OF
dumbbells or in swinging the Indian
clubs.
In the roped arena he is at home
and meets all Corners, but is like Mel
son in the dictation- of the number Of
rounds, and he refuses to go more thar
six in one evening.
1t is reported that Miller donned the
gloves on several occasions with Stan
ley Ketchell when the middleweight
was rusticating at Point Arena hot
springs last summer, and gave the con
queror of Papke value received.
He issues challenge to the outside
world to produce his equal In the ring
either in wrestling matches or with
the gloves. The color line is drawn
but nothing is barred for age, anybody
under 1903 being eligible.

city patrol wagon that is quartered at
No. / fire station, has the rudiments
OF . primary education. He distin.
cuisines between several numbers by
paving certain number of times in
reply to questions; knows and tells
his own age by the same method and
does many other things of the kind
His keeper was puzzled for long
time to understand how the animal
managed to escape from his big box
stall at the fire station.
One day he saw Frank reach his
head outside the bar and raise up an
outside latch that fastened him in
With the bar released, he then walked
about the barn at his pleasure. Now
1t Is necessary to protect the latch
with screen to prevent his escape.
In addition to performing acts of ex.
traordinary intelligence, Black Frank
does most of the common tricks per-
formed by trick horses.

OLD COLONIAL TUNNEL FOUND.
Skeletons Discovered in Passaoewa,
from Philadelphia Church.

Philadelphta.-The long perplexing
mystery as to how the chimes of old
Christ church were removed from the
building during the revolutionary war,
when the building was closely guarded
by British soldiers has been solved by
the finding of a subterranean passage
leading from the church to Market
street, over 200 feet away. In the tun.
mel were found the skeletons of eight
men by workmen excavating for sub.
basement under the hardware store OF
James M. Vance, 211 Market street.
The bodies were heaped in a pile.
The tunnel Is about two hunderd
feet long, three feet wide, seven feet
high and II feet underneath the sur.
face of the street. The entrance to the
passage, where it was first discovered.
begins at point underneath the
basement floor about five feet from the
Market street curb. 1t runs back
across Church street to point direct.
ly underneath the tower of Old Christ
church. At that point the remains OF
an old stairway were found, but across
the stair a wall Of masonry was found.
When the tunnel was constructed is
another Of the mysteries of the many
subterranean passages that have from
time to time been discovered In this
Oldest part OF the city. Some Of these
passages lead from the river front for
hundreds of feet under the city and

NEW FRENCH DIAMOND MAKER.
Rival Of Lemolne Makes an Accidental
Discovery.

Paris.-A rival OF Lemoine, the miss.
ing diamond maker. has risen up, but
his name is not revealed He is a
manufacturer who Is interested in sci
ence and has made many experiments.
Recently, while experimenting with an
electrical oven, he obtained a number
of small stones that looked like dia-
monds.
He took few of them to Prof. La
croix Of the Academy of Sciences, who
examined them OFFICIALLY and crystallo-
graphically, and found in them all the
physical qualities of the diamond
hardness. density and crystalline FORM
Then he took some of the stones to M.
Maquenne, also Of the academy, and a
professor of the Central school, who
chemically analysed them and found
them to posses all the chemical prop
critics of diamonds.
When the manufacturer received the
two reports he put down his discovery
In writing and gave the document to
the Academy of Sciences, which will
read out the formula at its next meet
ing. Prof. Maquenne. in speaking Of
the new discovery, said:
"As to the quantity Of diamonds
manufactured, burned 10 to make
sure that they were pure carbon, and
later burned two more. 30 that alto
gether I had 81 in my possession.
Prof. Lacroix was given about ten, so
that altogether there must have been
49, They varied in weight, but the
smallest was larger than those OBJ
tanned by M. Moissan."
In spite Of the Lemoine fiasco his
successor has apparently obtained cap
ital for further experiments in the
making of diamonds, for he has set up
furnace in the Isere department.
This Is probably on account of his
more encouraging methods, and be-
cause he has not yet made any prom
ises OF producing large gems or of
running Kimberley.

70 PHOTOGRAPHS SHELLS IMPACT
Effort to Be Made to Determine Angle
at Which 1t Strikes Ship.

Washington.-Rear Admiral Newton
e. Mason, chief of the bureau Of ord
nance, navy department. will shortly
conduct an interesting and novel test
at the naval proving grounds to deter
mine the exact angle at which r.
inch shell hits the side of battleship
when fired from rife 5000 yards dis
tant. By an ingenious contrivance the
shell, just before it hits the target,
will cause to be operated a heavily ar
mored camera so that a picture of the
shell at the moment of impact may be
obtained.
The purpose Of the experiment is to
determine definitely the position of the
shell as it travels over its trajectory.
1t is not known whether the shell
keeps the same angle to the earth from
the time it leaves the muzzle of the
gun until 1t hits the target, or whether
the shell follows its trajectory so that
the nose strikes the target direct in
stead of glancing blow. There has
been much discussion on this subject
The plan is to have constructed 9
target representing a section of the
side of battleship and to place before
this plate successive screens of can
vass or half-inch pines. The shell
when fired will cut through these sue
cessive screens before it hits the tar
get and the size and appearance of thu
holes will show, it is said, the posi-
ton of the shell when it goes through
An arrangement of wires on one of tn,
screens will connect with camera 81
that when these wires are cut by tn,
shell the lens is thrown open automat
icaly at the moment the shell strikes
the target.
In 1895 an effort was made by tn,
bureau of ordnance to obtain pictur,
of the impact Of a heavy she'll TIL,
first picture was taken a trifle lat,
and showed a ball of fire. At the sec
ond attempt the camera was smashed
to pieces by flying fragments of tn,
