A Picturesque Vengeance

SHOT IN THE FOREHEAD.

One of the retimed Cmadhn Yoltm teers from South Africa Ipllr a strant-p story of the veng ance of a wealthy Boer l?ho h%d b=»en roinad in estate m* tendered desperate by the death <>f his two coos— his only cHI ten—who w re alaiti in battle e&rly in he campaign. They were bfg, mamy fellows, '-.nd »^e uride of their parents The father V-n Bosboonn, waa, prior to he war, the ownor of a valaabie gold mine, and hsul by him a good supply of th« preci >us metal. When the new o£ hia ftons'dea'b i*B»ohed Mm, he shouldered hn rfl \ which he called "4 Lobengula,' and started ottt'to pin the Boer Army his soul thirstir»jtj for revenge. "In a mould which bore his own initials foe cast a narnbor of j /golden belles an-i carried them .in his •cartridge belt. Van ' B ■abooin is fify '. five years of asje, and a noted r*fla shot nod sharp shooter having n«'ver been known to mis*) hi" aim. How dead y wai his vengt-ance is vouched for l.y R^al Huot, the returned Canadian Volunteer, who reports that whenever the British anibuianc" corps ra-ried their dead an woanc'ftd off 'ha fiilaa of battle upon which Van Bosbootn had foa«hi they ■ invariably found a number of ( ffi^era and men, the former especially, who had been shoe i« ;he middle of the forehead, and when the Furgeons oxtracttd tha bullets th"j were fou'.'d to be of gold and bear the initials of the name of 'he avenging father.

Ocean Telephone Practicable.

"The recenfc invention of Profepsor Ptipirs for telephoning across th« ocean is eerfain'y prsc'ioah'e," was the sta ement m»d« by L«ul« G;*b-\ manager of Iha Pacific Telephone »nd Telegraph Co"np«ny coneorning the remark experiments with th© telephone made by fhe dis tinguished Colombia University se'entist. Mr Glass has great faith ia the invent ion. He said: — For many years P'-ofeseor Pupln has industrious)]? worked to develop his Invention for transoceanic telephone communication. Ills scheme lor equfil" I fz! ns? the sound wa^es is the vital [art; i of lhe Invention. On onr lin s from here t--> Portland when they were firs* estab ■ liahed W8 had cotK-iderafc'e difficult in j th« transmi bIo i of messages. The ; distance it-. 6 0 ml'es and before a message j waa many mites on Ita wvjf the words ] bicame jam bled. The lighter wave I sounds travelled faster than ths others ar.d soon were entire'y sep>raf-ed. We overcame the later, however, by installing very heavy wir^s and placing induction coils at intervals of a mile' That in what Professor Papin haa donp and hia coils placed at intervals of one eight or one tenth of a mile fco retard the light wave sounds and send the whole together and with more force along the neztlrelay. On land the conditions do not nquire as •■many relay points. I cannot state what will be done to establish a system between this city and Hongkong because oar company has never contemplated anything of that kind. Tne New York Telephone and Telegraph Company has purchased Professor Pupin'e Invention snd will no doubt begin work on a transatlantic telephone scheme- We cannot use she invention except by tp.icial concession. 1 consider the inven tion practicable, bat. do not care to go on record as to the time when a trans- Pacific eible will be woiking. The next few years onght to furnish many wonder* fol things and there is certainly no reason why great strides in the fcienc© of tele graphy and telephoning should not; be made. The c mmerce of the world would . be revolts'ion'z'sd to a certain extent and ' the coantries brought in'o c'oser torch ,- with each other. — San Francisco Examiner I
