A BULLET STORY.
On Saturday in this journal (Singaport Free Pree) was related the most unusual incident of two plugged shell, flrod in salvo, hitting each other in the air close to the targal and breaking up, smashing the target at the same time. The Company was the 35th S. O., and the officer in Gon- mand Major Close, 1.4, Lisut.. de Bury, B.A. was range officer.
A friend referring to thus, sends us on account, from the Strand Magazine, of a really mere ramarkable incident, reported na having occurred in America. It jane na follows:-
ONE BULLET SHOT THROUGH ANOTHER
IN FLIGHT.
An extraordinary incident has occurred at the Army Rifle Range near Fort Thomas, Re- Ry., 17.8.A., where the Sixth Infantry giment conducts its annual target practice. Two officers chaused to be firing at right angles, and at last thoy fired simultaneously. The markera failed to reccni, both abota, which was surprising, since the parkamen wore the "Bower of their corpe. The two bullets were at length found on the grass as we see them in the photo (photo given.) The smullor ballet coated with niokef stool, and fired from a Kog Jorgetsua magazine rife, had pierced the first one; which was an ordinary bullotfromte 45 cal. Springfold rio. This curiosity was picked up by Lieut. B. W. Atkinson of the United States Army,Strand Mayarins, June 187.
BURDETTE AND THE BICYCLE. HE SAYS EH CAN RIDE, IT SOT THAT HE DOEN.
A report got in circulation to the effect that Bobs Burdette was dead. The Burling- ton Hawley with which the humorist was formerly associated, denied the ramor, and Bob confirms the denial in the following Letter to the oditor:

TO PREVENT CONSUMPTION.
Only one way is known. Increase vitality by making the system assimilate the right nourishment. This enriches the blood, assists in making healthy flesh, restores body heat and vigorous action of the vital organs, and prevents the germs from taking root in the lungs.
