EDITING AN ENCYCLOPEDIA.
Strenuous Times In Getting Out ar
Early French Work.


Many adventures befell the French
eighteenth century encyclopedia More
than once the production of that work,
regarded by authority as revolution
airy, had been stopped, eight days of
imprisonment in the Bastille for the
printer being one incident. At the
very last moment, after Diderot had
corrected the final proofs, the printer
and his foreman secretly slashed the
articles right and left, cutting out
everything that seemed even possibly
dangerous, and burned the manu-
script, Diderot discovered the atroc-
ity too late when referring to one of
his own mutilated articles. But the
most remarkable point is that for
years very few persons knew Of what
had happened. even the contributors
remaining in ignorance. They had
had enough of their own articles when
writing them.
Voltaire tells pleasing story Of
Louis XV.'s conversion to the mer-
its Of the encyclopedia, according to
the London Chronicle. The talk one
night at TrianOn supper turned on
sport and thence to gunpowder, as to
the composition of which the party
could not agree. Nine. de Pompadour
lamented their all round ignorance
For instance, she herself did not know
what her rouge was made of or how
her silk hose were manufactured
"'Tis pity" said the Due de la Val
liere, that his majesty confiscated our
encyclopedias, which cost us 100 pls-
toles."
The king recalled that he had q
copy, and three Wallets were sent for
the twenty-one volumes and staggered
back with seven each. Gunpowder,
rouge. silk stockings, were all found
there. Some found answers to legal
problems that troubled them. The
king discovered the rights of his
crown set forth. and in his satisfaction
he allowed the confscated copies to be
returned.

FEATS OF MARKsMANSHIP.
Wonderful Shooting of Captain 30.
gardus and DR.. Carver.

Old gentlemen of the period just aft,
er the war will tell you sadly that
there are no such shots as there used
to be. In this connection il is inter
esting to note that $1,000 was wagered
against 500 that the champion of the
world could not hit hundred consec-
utive birds. Many amateurs. not to
speak of professionals. frequently
make such score without arousing
comment in these days. Captain Bo-
gardus was to be allowed three trials.
If he lost the first two and made the
third the money was his. and. by the
way, he used twelve gauge, full
choke, ten pound gun, and his load
was five drains of black powder with
No. shot. He loaded his own shells
or had them loaded according to his
directions.
While shooting in England his load
was challenged by one of his defeated
rivals, who asserted that the cham
pion's phenomenal scores were the re
suit of his superior shells. The cap
tain suggested that in their next match
both contestants should use his am
munition. to which the Englishman
eagerly consented. The captain was
delighted, for well he knew what would
happen to the action of the light ana
delicate English gun under such q
charge. Before the match had pro
ceeded very far the Britisher with
drew-for massage.
With the invention and success of
the ball tossing machine craze for
ridiculously high scores swept the
country. Five thousand balls In 500
minutes. 5,194 out of $500, in seven
hours and twenty minutes-these were
some of the stunts that delighted the
hearts of the gun people of that day
One man, the English crack, DR., Car
yer shot for six consecutive days,
breaking 10000 balls out of a possible
64,SS1. The wonder is that there rc-
manned of his shoulder anything more
than pulp. True, it is on record that
after the three-thousandth shot at such
an exhibition in Gilmore's Garden. New
York city. the contestant had to pry
open his trigger fingers by main force
and only succeeded in continuing in
the match by frequent dimensions Of
arm and shoulder in hot water.-Out

stroyed, about 1880 a. IN. The con-
centration of the fire of the squadron
upon the ships coming out was most
furious and terrific, and great damage
was done them.
About twenty or twenty-five min
uteS after the engagement began two
vessels, thought to be the Teresa and
Oquendo and since verified as such,
took fire from the effective shell fire
of the squadron and were forced to
run on the beach some six or seven
miles west of the harbor entrance,
where they burned and blew up later.
The torpedo boat destroyers were de-
stroyed early in the action, but the
smoke was so dense in their direction

the loss of several hundred killed,

81 congratulate you most sincerely
upon this great victory to the squad
ron under your command, and L am
glad that l had an opportunity to con-
tribute in the least to a victory that
Eeems big enough for all of us.
II have the honor to transmit here
with the report of the commanding Of
ficer and a drawing in profile of the
ship showing the location of hits and
scars also memorandum OF the am
munition expended and the amount to
fill her allowance.
"Since reaching this place and hold
ing conversation with several of the
captains--viz, Captain Eulate of the
Vizcaya and the second in command
of the Colon, Commander Contreras-l
have learned that the Spanish ad-
mirars scheme was to concentrate all
fire for awhile on the Brooklyn and
the Vizcaya to ram her in hopes that
if they could destroy her the chance of
escape would be increased, as it was
supposed she was the swiftest ship of
| your squadron. This explains the
heavy fire mentioned and the Vizcaya' s
action in the earlier moments of the
engagement. The execution of this
purpose was promptly defeated by the
fact that all the ships of the squadron
advanced into close range and opened
an irresistibly furious and terrific fire
upon the enemys squadron as it was
coming out of the harbor.
81 am glad to say that the injury sup
posed to be below the water line was
due to a water valve being opened
from some unknown cause and flood
ing the compartment. The injury t
the belt is found to be only slight an(
the leak small.
