Zulluskl, the well known artillery expert, has contributed a paper to the 1 ndependent Magazine In which he makes a strong argument for the use of smokeless powder as one of the most valuable lessons of the war. The advantages of this powder, a stated by him, are, flrst, the absence of smoke, which not only secures con tlnulty of tire but conceals positions from the enemy; lower pressures and higher velocities, ordinary powder giv ing velocities of about 1,100 feet a sec and, while smokeless powder produces Velocities of L8QQ feet; aud loss weight of charge by from one third to one half of (hat of ordinary gunpowder. Tho question as to the liability of smoke less powder under all service condi tions he thinks Is entirely offset by the obvious advantages ami fair degree of stability already demonstrated, lie Is coulhlcnt that nothing stands In the way of Its use ami that the kuu of the future will be a long mho of uniform thickness of walls, relatively light and thin, mounted on a suitable truss or girder, which will furnish tho tier, s sary longitudinal stiffness with tho minimum of weight. Commodore Watson's Hoot was disap pointed In pa.vliflbs.hnt expected visit to the Canaries, Spain and the Halearle Islands. The latter, however, have been visited recently by an L'ngllsh traveler, who gives an Interesting account of these Islatals. which are aim. sit as un known to I'tiropeans, It seems, as to Americans. Majorca and Minorca, the larger Islands of the group, nre easy of BOOSM, have a delightful climate, cs DnCttUy In winter, and the scenery among their mountain Is said to bo remarkable for It beauty. Hut little has b. en publlhed on Majorca since Oenrge Rand's article In the Hevuo des iVux Monde, more than forty years ago, but the English traveler referred to thinks It worthy to become a rival to Nice or Algiers aa a winter health resort, having, In addition to the cbarm of pleturcsqucness, the additional one of being out of the way of the usual current of European travel.

Tho American soldiers seem to hnve made a great Impression upon the I 'or to Hlouns by their size, which Is gigan tic compared to that of the natives or the Spanish. Tho first troops landed at Pond were Wisconsin and Pennsyl vania regiment, all men of Hue stat ure, some of them more than six feet In height, and commanded by Ofloefl of equally line physique. The Porto Uleo horses uml mule are proportion ately undersized us compared with the American varieties, and these latter nlso eiimo In for a share of wondering admiration. Cllmnte has much to do with size, but food far more. The Eng lish ami the American are the best fed people In the world, lioth tuitions nre grout eaters as compared, for Instunce, with tho Latin nations, especially us regards meat.

Hut Egypt can und will regain at least a portion of Its former prosperity and again become nn Important factor In Europe's well being. All these are changes which will be welcomed, but In some other respects tho traveler will miss n portion of Hint old sense of mys tery and awful fascination that lias made Egypt a haunting presence lu tho world's history.

The Earl of Clannioyle, famed alike for his generosity and eccentricity, was, during t In declining years of his life, very fond of startling his visitors by suddenly presenting to their view the Immense skeleton of a man, which, when llrst seen, was artistically ar ranged us u writing table.

The largest house lu tbo world Is situated In Wloden, a suburb of Vi enna. It oouralus 1.400 rooms, divided Into 400 suits, aud shelters 2,112 aer sons, who pay au annual rental of over 100,000 Oorlus. HE f.imous Lambton diamond throw back the light from Its many facets, and strange, brll- Hunt colors shot from It depths. It wns the finest stono I had ever set In my life. 1 was particularly plensotl wttn my design for tho sotting. No other hand had touched It, and I felt that tho frame, so to speak, wns worthy of the picture. The ring, now that It wna finished, wns lit even to adorn tho hand of Ladjf Gwendolen Forrest, the beauty and heiress of tho season. Hut I did not envy young lru i.amiuou an Qunoee; In my own Nell I had a girl a good aud as pretty as any In tho laud. I wns nlsnit to take the ring to Mr. Nugent when Nell herself ran in. Sho was my employer's daughter, nud bis prlvnto house was upstairs over the largo showroom In Clifford street It vvus against all custom for Nell to come Jovvn to my workshop, for her fnther Unapproved our engagement Hut to lay she hnd not been nblo to resist the temptation of having a peep at no Lnmhimi diamond. Just ns she hnd slipped It on her linger, and was dancing about twisting her hand, that tho mnrvelous stono might catch the light, the door opened ind Mr. Nugent entered. I prepared to lcfcnd Nell from a hnrsli reprimand, but none came. Her futher nppeared tddly preoccupied, merely took the ring from her, examined it earnestly, nnd, snapping the lid of the cast! down upon It, placed It lu his pocket and walked away. Next day I was sitting nt work, vv hen saw n hnuHom drive up, uml Lord Lnmbton Jump out. lie came hastily Into tho room, which ndjolnod rho oue where I wns sitting where Mr. Nu gent wns. ".Scoundrel:" I heard him sny, nnd gould scarcely believe my ears. "You thought to fool mo ensily by a false stone; but I am as good a Judge of lewell ns you nre. You nn- a thief, ilr! What hnve yon done with the llamond I Intrusted to you?" Mr. Nugent nnswered In a lower voice. What ho said could not have made any great Impression upon Lord t.umhtnii, however, for he Impatiently Interrupted, ami at last an ominous threat concerning the "police" reached my ours. I sat still. I understood very well that Lord I. ami. ton ,ad deliberately accuscd my employer of trying to pulm off upon him nn Imitation din moml, yet I knew that I had set the rue st and delivered It to Mr. Nn out only yesterday. My employer himself wns n skilled workman, though not a good designer, and in the time that had elapsed be tween my handing him the ring nud his transferring It to the owner ho lOUtd have removed the stone and re placed It by another. Hut for such a hold trick to succeed the Imltntlon must he magnificently made, nnd the orig inal diamond must have been carefully measured. I hud never known that Mr. Nugent kept any false gems about tho place, mid besides was It likely that u mnn In Ms position would cure to run so ter rible n risk? Still, I could not help re membering how haggard nnd Irritable he hnd been of late, and the keen In terest that ho took in the racing In telligence. As I thus speculated on the astound ing accusation, Mr. Nugent himself nil-oil u.u iwiep i ,t, m the hand before J1!"'"1'' ''u door of the workroom, lie loohcu Kccuiy ai me ns tr wondering If It would be safe to trust me. "Old you hoar anything of what passed lu the next room?" ho ques tioned. I admitted that I had. "Of course, I shall 1h triumphantly acquitted," he announced, clearing his throat, huskily, ns he spoke. "Still, Lord LambtOU can make things dls ngrecable. And look here, Wade, I haven't ulwnys been ns friendly to you ns 1 might, but I can trust you. You'll bo nn Important witness. ln what you can for me, for the girl' sake." Tho words sounded strange, but I was given no time to answer, for nt Unit moment Lord I.ambton returned with two Scotland Yard men. My em ployer wns given Into custody nnd taken to the police station to bo charged, the detectives remaining to March the premises. Mr. Nugent being n widower, With only one child, tho management of tho business practically devolved on me, nnd ns the detectives ransacked the place, they put many questions to me as to where the stones were kept. Tho safes were all pointed out to them, but they scent. si disappointed with their operational I.nter In tho evening they came to mo III tho workroom, and, holding out the ring that 1 had made for Lord I.amb ton, one of them -aid "This Is your work," we understand. "Is that the stono you setf 1 glanced at It, but I only replied: "I don't call myself an export tu prec ious stones, and all I can say Is that this one precisely resembles In also, huie and np'nrnnco the oue given Uie to set." Whlhl this statement was practically true, that one glance had loon enough l''r to -how me that I wns not I ..ok ho. nt the I.ambton diamond. The detectives left, saying that I would have to tell all I knew In tho witness box, and then, Just as I was about to lock up the place for the night Nell came In. It was the flrst time she hud let me see her since ber father bad been taken away. Tk ,.,. I, I thought the sweet- gat on earth was marble white, and there were dark shadows under the lasbes. "There's something I must say t you," she panted, "something I've been wild to say all day. lest It should M too late, but I dared not lot anyone suspect. A month ago father eoiithled to me that ho hud lost a great deal or money-and he showed me how to open a secret drawer lu bis Chippen dale bureau. 'If ever anything hap pens to me,' he said, 'don't lose a mo ment, but look Into this drawer; throw nwuy everything that you will And In the left-hand partition, aud keep what may be In the right.'" II. Together we ransacked the old bu reau, and at length Nell touched the spring which opened the secret drawer. I drew In my breath sharply, for the light of the candle w hich I lu l l struck out a gleam from a pile of exquisitely made fnlse stones, which lay In a parti tion on the left hand, while on the right was the Latnbton diamond. Involuntnrlly I betrayed the dread ful iiuturo of the discovery by an ex clamation, for, left to herself. Nell would not have understood. Hut she was quick to comprehend, and realiz ing the worst she swayed, staggering backward. "My poor father," sho moaned, as I held her. "He Is ruined forever-and I, too. The daughter of a convicted thief Is no lit wife for nn honest mnn." "My dnrllng, you nre a wife for king, and us for your fnther, I swear to you that I will save blm yet." "You you cnunot.' "I tell you that I can nnd will." For oven ns I spoke an idea had flushed Into my head which Startled me by Its au dacity. In a moment I hud thought out every detail. I made up the stones, I.ambton dia mond nnd all, Into n packet, carefully closing the secret drawer, nnd contriv ing to get away without Inlng seen, and went straight to my brother's house In Kent, managing to avoid the service of a subpoena. Thus I was not present at the police court proceedings, which would have meant ruin for my plan. Mr. Nugent wns committed for trlnl, nud meanwhile I stayed In the country, working each night In locked room, with the tools I had brought with me, until the gray dawn Altered upon my closed shutters. When I saw my old employer In tho dock nt the trial I was shocked at the ghastly change which hnd como over him. Tho evidence nt flrst went stendlly ngnlnst him. Lord Lnmbton sworo tlrtit the stono In tho ring wns not his diamond. One export testified that not only wns the stone he now saw not the Lnmbton diamond, but was not a genuine Jewel nt nil, but n marvelous Imltntlon. Another wns not so posi tive. Ho looked at the gem through his glass, turning It this way and that, declaring that In nil hi experience he had never seen n false stone so cleverly executed ns this. Indeed, he wns not prepnred to swear that It was false. The preliminary question of the pros ecuting counsel brought out the fact that I had designed the ring's sotting, and done all the work upon It. "What sort of stone was It your em ployer gave you to sot?" was the next question. "An extremely rnlunhle white dia mond," I replied. "Do you swear that you sot tho genu ine stone, and delivered tho ring when finished to the prisoner?" "I do." "Do you consider It possible thnt stone might have been taken out nnd nn imitation one substituted?" "Certainly. Hut I could tell whether tho ring hud been tampered with since It left my hands." Take this, then, examine It, nnd In form the court If that Is tho stono you set. The ring was handed to mo, nnd a hush fell upon the court. The kind of lull which denotes that a vital polut In n case has been reached. I put my hand In my waistcoat pocket for my Jeweler's glaas, nnd the sharpest sys could not have seen that I also drew forth n now ring, made In the secret hours of the night an e net counts rpsrl of tho other, stive thai It contained the real I.ambton dia mond. I pretended to examine the Imitation with groat care While nil eyes wort; fixed upon me. At length I returned the glass to my pocket, and with it thl false stone. 1 could hear my owu heart boating, hut, handing the court usher the new ring, l ud llrtuly, in reply to the snappish "Well?" of the prosecuting counsel: "I swear unhesitatingly that the set ting of this ring has not been tampered with, and that this Is the genuine dia mond which was given mo to sot." A rustle went round the court; the doubting expert pricked up his ears. l lie prosecuting counsel, with Lord ! i-nmnton and the treasury solicitor, were whispering over the ring. "M'lud." said the counsel, "I ask per mission to recall the expert." I stopped out of the box and the ex port Stepped In. The new ring was put Into his hand, n friendly ray of Sunshine lighting up the Jewel. "This Is very remarkable," he said, at Inst. "It's the first time I have ever made a mistake. This stono Is genu ine i cannot doubt it." And so tho prisoner was free; but when tho verdict of "Not guilty" was pronounced a famt groan echoed it. and a dead man was taken from the dock. A spasm of the heart had proved fatal. Rlx months later Nell and I were married. On our honeymoon vve were walking in a lane near Ufraeomho, when vv,' came fnoo to face with Lord Lnmbton, who was stopping with his bride Iti n neighboring country house. "Ah, Mr. Wade:" he exclaimed, "I haven't n.vn you since that very mys terious case of mine. Do you know I have always since thought of you-as a -very clever manf "Thank you," I said, quietly, "will you allow mo, my lord, to present you to my wife the only daughter of the late Mr. Nugent." Lord Latnbton raised his hat, looked keenly at pretty Nell, shook hands with us ootn, and murmured: "Ah. I understand."
