The powerful penetration of this arm is shown by the two accompanying cuts. 
On the left, machine steel 5-16 of an inch thick, cleanly penetrated by the .35 calibre 
bullet. The bone on the right, equal in size to the femur of the moose, shows the 
shattering power of two shots in live tissue. Self-loading, with solid breech and 
safe safety.

Johnny, in the heat of the moment, ignored the 
courtesies of the code and got the first fire. His 
bullet struck the Major’s wrist, and the latter’s 
pistol fell to the ground. The Major recovered 
bis weapon with his left hand and placidly raised 
it for another shot, when, by an almost incredi¬ 
ble coincidence, a musket ball knocked the re¬ 
volver out of his hand, and over the parapet of 
the bridge, into the river. The next moment 
a bayonet charge separated the two combatants; 
and they never saw each other again. 
At Gettysburg a Federal artilleryman—a thumber 
—during the battle fell while in the act of cover¬ 
ing the touch-hole of his piece. The battery to 
which he belonged pushed forward, and he was 
almost immediately carried off the field in ari 
ambulance. An examination revealed not a 
scratch on his body. He shortly revived, and put 
his hand to his left breast, where there was a 
small blue spot directly over the aorta. He de¬ 
clared that he had been struck there by a bullet. 
In his jacket pocket was found a well-thumbed 
copy—he was a thumber—of Tom’s Paine’s “Age 
of Reason.” The bullet had cut through the 
leaves and stopped against the inside cover. The 
book had saved his life. He grasped it convul¬ 
sively, and asked for his canteen. 
SPOILED FISH CAUSES LEPROSY. 
Jonathan Hutchinson, an eminent English¬ 
man, writes to the London Times that there is 
not the slighest cause for alarm concerning the 
prevalence of leprosy in the Rhone Valley in 
Switzerland, which is visited by many tourists. 
He says that there are more lepers in London 
than in the whole of the Valais Canton, and that 
in Norway the number may probably be multi¬ 
plied a hundredfold. Yet no one fears to re¬ 
side in London or to visit Norway, and he says 
that no visitor ever contracted the disease in 
either place. The disease is well known to occur 
all along the Mediterranean coast, and at San 
Remo there has for a long time been special ac¬ 
commodations provided for lepers. He says that 
the development of leprosy in the Rhone Valley 
is due largely to the artificial demand for fish on 
the fast days. The natural supply of fish is 
limited. Railway communication has been de¬ 
veloped, and just as has been the case in Cape 
Colony, leprosy has resulted. It is the poor and 
those living at a distance from shops who are 
likely to keep their fish too long and eat it in 
bad condition. 
HAD NO USE FOR A BEAR. 
Some successful hunter in the foothills suc¬ 
ceeded in slaughtering a fine fat young bear 
yesterday, and the carcass consigned to a local 
meat market reached the city by express. The 
arrival of the dead bear was highly distasteful 
to Queeny, the Gordon setter who has assumed 
charge of the depot express office, and she pro¬ 
tested at the top of her lungs against its ad¬ 
mission to the building, and went on the war¬ 
path until the carcass was loaded into a wagon 
for delivery.—Sacramento Bee.
