A CRUSHING REBUKE.

' "Mr Speaker, " exclaimed a young member from Alabama one day, when a vote w«s being taken in regard to some Bill upon which the Alabama member held views which make him one against over three hundred opponents, "Mr Speaker I am aware that I stand alone, but, Mr. Speaker, Ike the illustrious Henry Clay, I would rather be right than President 1 " " The gentleman from Alabama need not fear, " retorted the Speaker in his drawling way, " for hewill never be either 1" The roars of laught r which resounded all over the house covered the aspiring young Alabama statesman with confusion, and he retired to the lobby.

FROM THE BATTLEFIELD.

A tall trooper was walking beside the stretcher. His sun bronaed face was drawn ;he helped one of the bearers ©s if to .esse the jolting, although the burly figure lying there was past all pair*. So, Bill, you've lost your pal, " said another trooper who came up. He spoke in a hoarse whisper, commiseratingly. " Aye, will miss hjm sure, " was the answer. I " Was hejyour pal 1" some one asked ' " Aye, and man, you should 'aye | 'card ' im play the penny whistle!"

A New Maxim Machine Gun.

The Admiralty have decided to adopt, as part of the armament of Her Majesty's ships, the .303 type of Maxim machine gun, and as soon as a sufficient number can be manufactured, tbey will replace all the guns of the .045 type now in use in the Royal Navy. The great advantage of the new type cf gun is that it can be supplied with tbe or dinary Lee - Metford ammunition, whereas for tbe Maxims now in use a special class of am munition has to bo provided. Tbe mounting of the new Maxim is also much more convenient for figld service than either field carriage or pedestal mounting no»v used with the .045 gun.

The Man Who Relieved Mafeking.

Colonel Bryan Thomas Mahon, the commander of the relief column, has won rapid promotion, and has seen much fighting, in the Soudan. Ho commanded the mounted troops that were sent by Sir Francis Wingate in pursuit of the Khalifa in November last, and his promotion in March to a Brevet-Colonelcy was no doubt due to the able and brilliant manner in which he brought the Khalifa to bay. Colo nel Mahon is thirty eight years of age, and has seen nineteen years' servic?. It is stated that his selection for tha command of the MSfeking column was due to Sir Archibald Hunter's appre ciation of his resolute nature and keen soldiery spirit, both of which have come conspicuously to the front in this fine feat of arms. Mr Nathaniel Topp has handed to the Liverpool Echo £50 to be given, or its equivalent, to the first British soldier who entered Mafe king to relieve the garrison.

Explosive Bullets

Physicians in South Africa, says a press report, now have another theory for explaining away the charges made by both Briton and Boer that the other is using explosive bullets. Tho extensive laceration often found in bullet wounds is now said to be due to the air which the bullet drives before it into the wound. " The existence of this phenomenon can be proved easily. If a round bullet be dropped into a glass of water from the height of a fe<v feet it will be seen that when the bullet touches the bottom a large bubble of air will become detached and rise to the surface. In this case the bubble will usually be from ten to twenty times the size of the bullet. Now a Manser bullet travelling at high speed is said to carry before it a bubble of compressed air of large dimensions. Experiments made by a surgeon who fired a pistol ball into a glass of water showed the bubble to be 100 times tha size of the ball. From the appearance of the wounds and from these experi ments it is concluded that the me.es of air drivpn by a Mauser bullet explodes in the body of tha wounded man with sufficient force to cause extensive laceration. This destructive air-bubble is well known to surgeons under the name of projectile air."
