A BULLETLESS REVOLVER.
Gun Fires Cartridge Which Blinds
and Chokes When it Strikes.

A German inventor has perfected
revolver that shools without bull
lets, and is intended to check and
render harmless the victim instead
of manning him or crippling him.
1t is designed for home protection
and for use in instances where it is
not desirable to take chances of kill
ing person.
The cartridge used contains sew
eral ingredients, which, when explod-
ed, combine to form a vapor Of a
peculiar character. The gun itself
differs very little in appearance and
mechanism from the ordinary double
action revolver. 1t holds five car
tridges.
The action of the vapor may best
be imagined by considering the po-
sition of the person shot at. The ap-
pearance of the weapon, the report
and the flare of the powder combine
to convince the victim that he has
been shot at with an ordinary fire
arm. His eyes and mouth open in
surprise, and the gases generated by
the combination of the chemicals en-
velop his head completely penetrat-
ing his eyes and affecting his sight.
For several minutes he is practic-
ally blind. simultaneously the mu.
cous membrane of the nose and
throat are irritated and the victim
sneezes and chokes. For a minute
or two the victim finds it almost
impossible to breathe.
1t is obvious that no individual
even if he were as strong as Hercu'
les, would be in position to put uI
much of a fight while in such con.
dition.
The shotless revolver is intended
principally for the protection o
tourists, commercial travellers, doc
tors cyclists, automobilists, bank
officials, postmen, watchmen and po
licemen. No one wants to kill {
criminal unless it is absolutely nee
essary for ones own preservation
and this invention is intended tt
make such a course unnecessary

TWO YEARS SEARCH REWARDED.
Wife Of Spartanburg Doctor Located
in San Francisco.

Spartanburg, April 15.-A tele-
gram received here tonight from San
Francisco, CAL, states that the police
there today arrested the fugitive wife
of DR.. J. w. Reames, of this city. She
was found working in department
store and supporting her six-year-old
boy. He claims she eloped with an
affinity and wants her extradited to
South Carolina On charge of adul-
terry, the telegram says. She asserts
she left home because Of her hus-
bands intolerable cruelty. The San
Francisco police can find no proof
that she came there with any man
and believe her story.
Mrs. Rhames disappeared two
years ago from Hendersonville, N. c.,
where she was spending the summer,
and at the same time ]. Rogers Nc
Caslan, an insurance agent, who liv-
ed at the same boarding house in

ing, although she professed an aver
sion for McCaslan. She took her
little son with her and DR.. Reames
has been searching for her ever since
in an effort to recover the child. He
is said to have exhausted almost all
his resources and to have been work
ing lately as a drug clerk at Wins
ton-Salem. Mrs. Rhames's family

Detroit, Mich, April 14.-From

Tariff Bill Pleases Country.

Washington, April 14.-President
Wilson believes the tariff bill meets
the general approval of the country,
that no healthy business will be inter-
rupted and that while in most cases
the cost of living will not be immedi-
ately reduced, the consumer will feel
at once the benefit of reduction in
the sugar duty.
These views were expressed by the
president in an open talk with news
paper men at the White House. He
explained that his main reason for de-
string a reduction on sugar was that
the consumer deserved it.
The president declared that ar
rangements by which prices were
fixed would surely be made impos-
sible when a truly competitive situ-
alton was created and that the public
would get the benefit very promptly
in the case of sugar because he knew
competitive elements were ready to
contest. Criticisms, he said, had been
received from some perfectly legiti-
mate interests contending that the
cuts in their cases were more than
they could at present stand.
Mr.. Wilson said he did not see any
,fo ~, hn r0f0rr06
to the fact that members of the ways
and means committee had heard
every person in interest and that
their judgments were based on these
hearings.
It was suggested to the president
that many Ohio Democrats in con-
gress felt that free wool would be
ruinous to the wooden industry. Mr..
Wilson said he had been trying to in
form himself as much as possible on
that subject but he did not feel their
fears were justified by facts. He re-
marked that he had heard just the
other day that the price of wool was
the same on both sides of the water.
In connection with the sugar tariff
the pres: dent was asked if he thought
sugar factories, both beet and cane,
could operate under free sugar. He
said that he certainly thought they
could, remarking with smile that
the factories might shut down for ef-
feet for a time, but that they would
open for business later.
The president said he hoped to
open reciprocity negotiations with va
rious countries as soon as the tariff
bill was passed

A Reconstructed Cave.

One of the most noteworthy forth
coming exhibits in the mineral hall
at the Museum of Natural History,
New York, will be the representation
of beautiful cave of stalactites and
stalagmites. This will be reproduc-
ton of almost an entire cavern re-
Gently discovered in the Copper
Queen Mine at Bisbee, Ariz. Here, a
quarter of q mile below the surface,
during the mining operations of
blasting for copper, spacious cham
Der was uncovered containing a Sc
ries of terrace-like grottos, adorned
with a wealth of magnificent and
many colored stalactites and stalag-
mites. Doctor Douglas and the min
ing company placed the find at the
disposal of the Museum. DR.. Edward
Otis Hovey, curator of geology and
invertebrate paleontology, with three
assistants, visited Bisbee, to collect
and bring back the original material
so as to form an exact reproduction
of the Arizona cave. Half a hundred
boxes containing the choicest forma-
tions from the walls, floors, ceilings,
etc., were brought back. They weigh
ed from one pound to 900. The deli
cate task of setting up the pieces in
the cave at the Museum is being ex-
ecuted by William Peters, artist OF
the Museum staff, who accompanied
the expedition to Arizona.
A steel frame IL feet high by eight
feet wide forms the outside of the
cave, which will be covered with
limestone blocks taken from the
mountain under which the cave was
found. These wonderful formations
of stalactites and salagmites are
made through the evaporation Of per-
colating waters. The most striking
feature of the reconstructed cave will
be a. stalagmite three feet high IN
diameter and three and half feet
high, of a beautiful green color, and
weighing about 900 pounds. This
stalagmite is remarkable on account
of the radiating clusters of pointed
calcite crystals thickly set all over it,
but diminishing in size from the bot
tom of the column upward.-Scien-
tific American.

DIR. MITCHELL GOES TO VIRGINIA
Accepts the Presidency Of Medical
College.

Columbia, April 12.-Dr. S. C..
Mitchell, president of the University
of South Carolina, has definitely ac-
cepted the offer of the presidency of
the consolidated medical colleges at
Richmond, Virginia. This informa-
ton was received here tonight in a
telegram from DR.. Mitchell himself,
who is at present in Richmond.
Pressure has been brought to bear
on DR.. Mitchell to reconsider the Vir-
ginia offer and a committee started
from Columbia last night for Rich
mond to endeavor to get the Virginia
authorities to release him, but they
turned back when telegram was re-
ceived stating that DR.. Mitchell had
accepted the presidency and that they
would not release him. DR.. Mitchell
himself went on to Richmond.
There is widespread regret at
DR.. Mitchell's leaving the University,
and it is looked on by many as a
great blow to the cause of education
in the State.
DR.. Mitchell came to the Universe
ty about five years ago from Virginia
and good results have come from
his administration. His resignation
will take effect at the close of the
present scholastic term in June.

DYED BLACK TO SAVE LIFE.
Unique Experience in Great Indian
Mutiny Recalled.

Exciting, indeed were the expert
ences of British residents in India
during the great mutiny of 1857, and
none of them more so than those of
Lord Altamont, the eldest son and
heir of the Marquis de Sligo and his
mother. When the mutiny broke out
Lord Altamont, who had been born
in India, was a baby seven months
old, his father at that time being in
the Indian civil service and stationed
at Bengal Just before the natives
mutined the marquis had been or
dered TO a hill station, and his wife,
who was only 20 years of age, took
her baby to a place called Bankipur.
There they heard that at Dinapur,
six miles away, the natives had de-
cided to mutiny and murder the
European officers. The plot was
betrayed by a sepoy, and the Europ-
cans hurriedly collected to the house
of the commissioner, which had been
fortified.
The terrors of the night as they
waited expecting to hear every mo-
ment the yells of the rebel soldiers
coming to attack them were added
to by one lady who went out Of her
mind and tried to throw herself
down the we'll. The next morning,
however, relief came, and Lord Alta
mont's mother drove to an opium
store, four miles down the river,
which had also been fortified, to
stay with friends. Finding, however,
that she had left various articles of
clothing at Bankipur which she re-
quired, she decided, against the ad-
vice of her friends, to return with
her baby. She reached Bankipur in
safety, BIT on the return journey the
natives attempted to stop the carriage
and threw stones and brass cooking
pots at them.
Thinking that she might be killed,
she crouched down on the floor of the
carriage with her baby in her arms
and, after running the gauntlet for
quarter of an hour, she arrived safely
back at the opium store.
Here she remained with other
Europeans, besieged for fortnight,
their lives depending on the fidelity
of a few Sikhs. 1t was then that
Lord Altamont's black nurse suggest
ed to his mother that as possible
means of saving his life he should
be dyed and passed off as her child,
and this was done, Lord Altamont re-
naming disguised as negro baby
until a steamship came down the Can
ges crowded with refugees and en-
abled them to reach place of safety.
