An experiment that demonstrated the
capacity Of steel to endure greater
pressure than the hardest stone was
made in Germany. Corundum was cho-
sen for the stone. and small cubes OF
both substances were placed under
pressure. A weight of six tons smashed
the corundum, but forty-two tons were
required to crush the steel. When the
steel did give way the effects are de
scribed as remarkable. With loud
explosion the metal flew into powder
and its sparks are said to have bored
minute holes in the crushing machine.

A W0MAN'S REVENGE.
Sensational Incident Of the Civil War
In Mexico.


In Mexico.
In the civil war In Mexico, which
resulted in the downfall Of Dlaz, a
sensational incident took plnce-the
seizure Of Colonel Chiapas by an
nvenger. At the beginning Of the In
hJrrection Chiapas had command for
the government OF the Sonora district,
and he quickly became known for his
severity. Among those who suffered
was a rich resident named Talamantes,
who. with his two sons. was arrested
on the charge Of sympathlzing with
the insurrectos.
After brief hearing the Aree were
condemned to death. Nine. Tala-
nantes pleaded with Chiapas for the
life of her husband and sons. offering
everything they possessed. but the
colonel replied to her entreaties only
with sneers, refused her request, had
the three men taken to the grounds
Of their own hacienda. forced Nine.
Talamantes to remain within hearing
Of the shots and had them executed.
The widow changed from a retiring,
undemonstrative woman to a vigorous
avenger Having ample financial re-
sources. she first offered $4,000 to any
one who would deliver Chianas alive
into her hands. Then she organized
a troop Of armed men. put herself at
Its head and Joined the insurgents.
Soon the Talamantes became one Of
the strongest aud most effective forces
among the rebels. Her 9vowed pur-
pose was to capture Chiapas When
the federals evacuated Aqua Prieta
the widow ambushed detachment led
by Chiapas. who in the fight was
wounded and delivered to her. Within
two hours Of his capture she compelled
him to dig his own grave. He stood at
its edge, and she personally gave the
command to fire to her twelve troopers
who faced him. - london Family

AFRICAN RHlNos.
They Are Nervous and cowardly
Rather Than Feroeious.


Rather Than Feroeious.
Instead of being savagely ferocious
animal. the African rhinoceros is a
cowardly, shortsighted creature. &C.
cording to John T. McCutcheon In
Hunting Adventures In the Big Game
Country" He says;
after the rhlno has taken his dirt
wallow and looks fine In his new red
coat he then slowly and painstakingIy
proceeds to kill time during the rest Of
the day. II danger threatens he be-
comes exceedingly nervous and excit-
ed. His anxiety is quite acute. In
vain he tries to locate the danger,
rushing one way for a few yards,
then the other way and finally all
ways at once. His tail is up, and he is
snorting like a steam enFine.
When he rushes toward you in this
attitude 1t looks very much as though
he were charging you with the purpose
of tramping you to finders. As mat
ter or factor, rather, oplnion--he is
merely trying to locate where you are
in order that he may run the other
way. He looks terrifying. but in real
fly is probably badly terrified himself
He would give a good deal to know
which way TO run and finally becomes
SO excited and nervous that he starts
frantically in some direction. hoping
for the best. If the rush happens to be
in your direction you call it a charge
from an infuriated rhlno; IL not, you
say that he looked nasty and was about
to charge. but finally ran away in an
other direction.
In most rhino charges 1t is my opin-
Ion that the rhino is too ratified to
know what he is doing. and instead OF
charging maliciously he is merely try
ing to get away as fast as possible.
And in such cases the hunter blazes
away at him. wounds him. and the
rhino blindly charges the fash.
