THEIR MEANING EXPLAINED BY A QUALIFIED EXPERT. Creusot and Krupp Guns and Maxi-Nordviken: The Use of Shrapnel, Case Shot and Shell-Diffuser in the Eiffeld and Mauser Rifles. A Collection of Bits of Information Interesting in View of the South African War. There are many terms and phrases used in the description of the war in South Africa which convey little or no information to many of those at home who are deeply interested in making out what is happening to their loved ones engaged in the field. An immense number of people are now deeply interested in the events the war who want simple common sense explanations about the terms they read, such as "Creusot," "Krupp," "Shrapnel," "Common Shell," "90-pounders," "4-Finch guns," "Mausers," "Lice We have been told that the Boers have brought up some very heavy guns to fire upon Ladysmith and in Mafeking, but there is a dispute as to whether they were guns, and I want first to explain what the discussion means, says Mali, Gen. Mauria in the Nineteenth Century, Crusot or "Le Crusot" is a place in the depot of Sion-cat et Malie, where they have its extensive iron works. It does not follow, however, that a "Crusot" gun was made at Crusot, because that name is now applied to all the guns that are man-made, actuated by the machine and owned by & Co., who in 1853 became possessed of the works at Crusot, when, after being employed by the state under the revolutionary government for the manufacture of guns, were under the empire handed over to the Crusot. The Crusot made themselves by being the first firm fully to apply and adapt to the manufacture of both plates for armored ships and guns various inventions, chiefly English, notably the great armor of the British empire of manufacture of steel. From that time onward their works have been steadily developed. They have applied new processes to manufacture, including the improvement of the quality of which in its raw material the British empire possesses almost a monopoly to the improvement of the quality of the other. They have become the owners of a vast array of ground in the neighborhood of the Crusot's workshops almost on as huge a scale as their works at Crusot. Thus, when we have grown our knowledge of what we know of whatever size made by the great French firm of Schnelder & Co., whether it has in fact been made at Crusot or at On the other hand, a "Krupp" gun means that the gun has been made by the great Prussian firm of Herron Krupp. It is a "strong" gun means that the gun has been produced by the firm of Sir William Armstrong & Co., the chief seat of whose large factories are located in large factories—in Italy, for instance. A "Maxim" gun means, as far as its range is concerned, that it does not have many of whose patients have been bought by Messrs. Vickers & Co. A Maxim-fired gun is the invented by the inventors of the Maxim, and of those that were brought to this country by Mr. Nordefelt, a Swade. A "Shrapnel" is the name given to a gun that takes its range from a Shrapnel, who during the Peninsular war invented a form in which it was applicable to the spherical shells which were Most of the varieties of projectile which were used in the old smooth boros have been used in the new smooth boros as 'shell' is a projectile which is intended by means of some explosive matter inside the shell. Shrannel invented his shell, which was made of large bullets intended to scatter aluminum. In the which it was aimed, the 'common' form of projectile was made of 'powder, and it had two effects. It was buried into such large fragments that these, re-entered in the shell at the moment it opened, in having a certain fresh force imparted to the shell. The shell is then struck with great accuracy. We call these guns 4.7-inch because the measurement of the diameter of length taken across the mouth of the gun is four inches. The length is evident that for a projectile of given with this diameter represents the height of the gun well as if we said, what is the fact, that the weight of the shell is about fifty pounds more powerful naval guns are being used, namely, 8-inch. They would throw a shell of over one hundred pounds weight called "Long Tom" is a "91-pounder." That would mean that it would shell a ninety-inch shell, the same character as the 9-inch, not easily movable. The shells are made to burst fuse as an independent body put into the shell and traveling with it through the air. One kind, the "percussion fuse," is a shell that is fired in an arrangement, such that when the shell strikes any object sufficient to bring it to a stop, the shell is exploded by the fact that it is fired with a "time fuse," is a much more delicate instrument. It contains a composition amount of composition placed ready to burn being indicated by figures outside the case of the fuse, it is possible for the gun to put into the gun, so to regulate it that it will explode the shell after it has trapped it for seconds of seconds through it.

The shell will always bursts on striking with sufficient momentum. A shell with a properly regulated fuse will explode in air. In all our shells we use both the fuse if the fuse does not burst in air, it does on striking. We have a good deal of experience firing with a plugged shell. A "plugged shell" is suitable for the old "solid shot." Sometimes, not often, it is desirable, in preference to a solid whole. Then we take out the bursting composition and, in order that the shell may be even and heavy as before, we with some material that will not burst it.

The "quick-firing" gun armed is somewhat misnarrated. It ought rather to be called "the gun with a reco- checking carriage." The infantry weapons the first great change that followed rifling was that all our guns were made to be armed with muskets. The breech loading rifled small arm was the weapon used by both the French and Germ- ians in their great war of 1870. There were more guns used than muskets used, and both were in this respect alike. Since then invention has gone on rapidly. We have now used guns to supply their men with a magazine for rapid rifling. This is either fixed to the the form we now employ is the "Lee- Enfield." The difference between this and the Nordenfelt is very small. The same the same Boers use. The Mauser. The chief distinction between the Nordenfelt has a magazine which is inserted underneath the body through the trigger guard and secured by a catch, and is used to prevent the cartridges from firing, so that it can be used as a simple breech guard which contains ten cartridges is ordered LADYSMITH FEVER DESTITUTION PURE BEEF JOHN BULL: WONDER IF to be used, the Mauser on the other hand, has a magazine which, though not intended to be taken off for cleaning.

Until the circumstance was recalled by a dispatch from Indianapolis, the other day nearly one every had forgotten the theft of Benjamin Harrison's diamond-studded watch, worth more than $1,000, and given to him by the senate on the day it was stolen, he told that body. The triplepiece was stolen about five years ago, but just how and by whom does not appear to have been made public as yet, though a crooked named Williamson, under arrest at Knoxville, was being tried to arrange for its return to the owner. Like many other stolen articles, it could not be realized on without danger that the thief might be detected, while the value of its cases and works, as well as the value of the watch, so much below its value as a complete watch that such disposition was not to be thought of. So it was buried, pending a favorable time to negotiate for its restoration, but not, says the New York Press, he now has a diagram showing just where it was hidden, and has offered to exchange it for his freedom. Color is given to the story that the diagram was furnished to Wilson by the original thief whom on his behalf by the circumstance that Wilson was on the place of concealment when arrested. Should he recover the watch, the loss of which was a real grief to him, the former president will be luckier than have some eminent personages from whom valuable records have been kept. Depew's pocket was rifled of his watch one day away back in the '00's and he never got it back. Depew was done up by an organization "pick-picking" a "mob." He had been yachting party at Philadelphia and was standing on the platform of a horse car, on his way to the Cortlandt street ferry, the once told the story, he was thinking of the passing party of his immediate surrogate among the passengers just as the car was passing. Union-square. The rumpus came seemed moved to get out of the car in great haste. As they passed Dewey they knew him for him so much that he thought them real. The time soon after they had the men, for his pocket was empty. The timepiece was costly, and, moreover, like the men he had met, the having been given to Mr. Depew associates during his term as secretary of this state, from which he had retired. The most wholesale list of watches from men of some, prominence in New York, was given to the Methodist Episcopal church. The meetings of this body, the supreme local church, were attended tended chiefly by ordained ministers of the church, and no one in the audience dreamed a war was necessary to guard pocketbooks—to guard crowds. That simple fact seems to have been the undoing of a lot of men, for they were skillful, too, for though half a score of "clocks" were taken from the eminent clergymen present and as many men pocketbooks—nothing amiss was discovered till after the dispersal of the thing. Complaint was made to the police; also the news was given to the reporters, and they published it the next day in the audience was a fifth or more man in the audience was a fifth or more man, clothes, but, of course, there were no arrests, for warned by the publication of the pickpockets took pains to remain away. From the other side of the water comes the story of how the prince of Wales was a musious French pickpocket whose name was ever written down in the books of the war police. This man was known by his name as the prince of Wales, because of his surpassing skill as a thief and his elegant personal bearing and appearance. No one seems to have known him before he was hired his family. He dressed with exquisite taste, was tall and slender and always smart. He could be caught titling his profession. He was suspected of being a pickpocket long before petition was made, but could be caught in his downtown business. His downtown business was an at the Vincennes race track near Paris. He put his hand into the pocket, and the purse it contained not the woman whom the officer was escorting what was going on. "Prince Wales got away with the purse it contained just too late but he did his best to avert trouble by hitting the purse to the $2.40 PER YEAR. officer, declaring he had just picked it up from the ground. The scheme failed to the ground. The woman told the officer. Freed was present and invaded, and sentenced to imprisonment. After his release he went to England and was imprisoned in robbing the prince of Wales was performed at Epsom, while his royal highness was imprisoned while a prince was not published. His death born victim is said to have been to much mortified to make a complaint, and no one else was convicted. "Fred" himself boasted of it. It was at the Epsom race course also that he made his claim to pick the pocket of the late Baron Hickman. In part the baron spoke to him up a good deal when the latter would make complaint. Instead, the great banker drew the great to one side and whispered in his ear: --- Sharp Milwaukee Gynsics Some clever Romans have outwitted the city authorities of Milwaukee. That city has an ordinance prohibiting the use of gypses have settled just over the city, and there the women of the bands have been forced to peep into the future. But the dollars came slowly this way, and the wits of the gypses were taxed to overcome the opposition and problem by engaging a room in the city and installing there a long-distance telephone in the gypsy camp outside the city limits. Word was quickly passed around, and the police learned of the age. The police learned of the setups, but reasoned that they had no evidence of which to base their decision of violation beyond the pale of the law, and it is not her voice that speaks at the receiving end of the pale of the law, and it is not production of it.

Of course they took to their heels and raised the alarm at the camp a mile away.

The tide of sentiment being controlled by the young woman in the case, instead of a man, and the charm of all its brilliant scenes lying in the adventure and swaggery cavaliers of the time in which it was written.

Romanticism in the dramatic world is now all the fad and the best of romance "Under the Red Robe" is the greatest of all romantic successes. This play comes to the Grand Opera House next week with Mr. Paul Cazeneuve, the well known actor in the role of Gil de Berault; an ideal swash-buckler of the time of Louis XIII and Richelieu. The play will be given here with an environment of splendid stage netting and magnificent costumes. This drama of romance, with its picturesque gentleman of the doublet and hress and ready sword, which came in swiftly upon the heels of the prob am play with its肤 odors and fleshiness, has been much and strongly in evider ca of late, and it is good that it is so; just is it good that the novel of adventure has in large measure supplanted the erotic emanations of morbid minds. Such a play is "Under the Red Robe." And the coming of this great THE APPEAL: A NATIONAL AFRO-AMERICAN NEWSPAPER GUILELESS YOUTH. Daughter (innocently)—Oh, mamma, George kissed me last night.

Mr. Paul Cazeneuve is an actor having a splendid career and with a brilliant future before him. As a geoial actor with wonderful power in heroic lines, he has no equal in the country. He was of the right temperment when he went on the stage, to win smiles and applause of audiences. The tour is under the direction of Julius Cahn and as the company carries every article used in the production of "Udder the Red Robe" at the Empira Theatre, New York, a complete presentation is assured.

Washington, under the auspices of the League, in an attempt to raise a creditable sum to apply on the endowment fund of $500,000, which is now being raised throughout the country for the Tukegee Institute. Speeches were made by a number who were present. A big mass meeting of the League will be held in Pilgrim Baptist Church, St. Paul, to-morrow (Sunday night, which everyone should attend. TALES OF TRAVELING MEN.2 The average commercial traveler fears that he will lose his grip if the trust mania isn't checked soon.—Buffalo News. If the commercial travelers decide to build a home for the benefit of their unemployed members it will necessarily comprise a good many "stories."—Philadelphia Press. Mrs. Styles."Do you read much fiction?" Mrs. Myles."Well, yes; I get a letter nearly every day from my husband when he's on the road."—Yonkers Statesman. Two commercial travelers were comparing notes. "I have been out three weeks," said the first, "and I have only got four orders." That beats me," said the other. "I have been out four weeks and have only got one order, and that's from the firm to come home."—Philadelphia Record. "To make a success at this business," said the experienced traveling salesman, "there is one particular feature at which you should strive to become an expert." "And what is that?" anxiously asked the young drummer. "It is to be able to explain satisfactorily to the firm when you come in of a bad trip just why you haven't sold more goods."—New York Press. A drummer of the West attended a large party one evening, and, after supper was over, was promending with one of the guests, a young lady from the East, to whom he had just been introduced, says the Youth's Companion. In the course of the conversation the subject of business callings came up, and she said: "By the way, Mr. — may I ask what your occupation is?" "Certainly," he answered, "I am a commercial traveler." "How interesting! Do you know, Mr. —, that in the part of the country where I reside commercial travelers are not received in good society?" Quick as a flash he rejoined: "They are not here, either, madam." It is not so much general notions of Providence which are our best support, but a sense of personal interest taken by Christ in our welfare—Arnold. On Sabbath and other occasions, I have weared myself with attempts to waken demeanful feeling, by reading compositions of poetry and kind—practical and experimental writings. Our devotion must have a solid basis, and I believe it is in many cases the best thing we can do to go into the very strongest parts of theological argument, and feed upon such strong themes as Calvin, Rivet, Turretin, Wittius and Owen—Dr. James W.
