Queer Uae for Bullets. Millions of bullets fired during1 the ttalkan war by the troops of the vari ous contending forces will one day in ttye near future masquerade as the metal capsules on the tops of bottles and as lead pipes. For a long time past the little pellets that once whizzed through the air with the menace of death In their rush have been carefully collected In the battlefields of the Bal kans and sold to dealers in old metal< who In their turn have disposed- of them to manufacturers. An enormous quantity of these bullets has been, ar riving at Marseilles from Constantino ple of late. One steamship which put into port the other day "has Just un loaded no fewer than 12,095 sacks full of bullets, each sack containing some sixteen thousand projectiles, weighing over one hundred pounds. Thus the total number of missies landed by this vessel alone would be something llkV three millions and a half. Most of the bullets are those used in car tridges for rifles and quick-firers. Some of them actually still bear the traces of the' deadly work they were used for Something like seventy-five tons of the shells of cartridges have also ar rived at Marseilles from the same source. Who (Said MRat??" "Did I ever tell yer the tale, sir. of the rata on the Mary-Ahn?

The Berlin Royal opera house, whloh is to be rebuilt on a site facing the Reichstag, . is the personal prop erty of the kaiser. The new build ing, it is said, will be the most mag nificent opera house in the world, and certainly it ought to be, seeing that its estimated cost is put at ?1,300,000. Of this sum tfmpeor William will provide one-half, the remainder having been promised jointly by the Prussian ? parliament and "the Berlin municipality.
