wasfecorded as giving sc in the time
it was at work, the stops being allow
ed for. The fve-barrelled Norden-
feldt fred off upwards of 800 smooth
ly and straightly. The 1O-barrelled
short Gatling 326, after allowance of
time for two stoppages from jam
ming OF cartridges, stoppages which
were laid in some cases to the fault of
the Government ammunition. The
Pratt Whitney, a four-barrelled gun,
was without a representative, the
three who worked it being Captain
OCallaghan, the Assistant Superin-
tendent of Experiments, his assistant,
captain Gould Adams, and a Royal
Artillery gunner. The trio worked
off $50 rounds in the half minute.
The six-barrelled Calling had some
stoppage, but worked off 267 shots.
The fve-barrelled Gardner had
another trial, and worked off $50.
The afternoon was nearly all taken
up with the task of noting how long a
time each gun was in firing 1000
rounds. The two, barrelled Gardner
was the first to be centered, and the
1000 rounds were worked off in
2min. 57sec. The 1O-barrelled long
Gatling made four jams-the machi-
merry getting stopped-but worked
out 907 shots in 1min. 59sec. In this
firing the sound was again like that
OF q rapid feu-deJoje. The five par
relied Gardner worked off the 1000
in 1min. 35sec-one person, MIR.
Gardner, attending to the firing.
The fve-barrelled Nordenfeldt was
then wheeled to the front. Mr..
Nordenteldt took in charge the lever
working the barrels in his left hand
to show how his gun could distribute
the fire, and it was 30 distributed
that the shots played over the area
which would be taken by a regiment
of infantry IN open column. A block,
said to have been caused by a faulty
case, occurred. The gun was pulled

med case having been thrust out of
the barrel-was in work again in
less time than it takes to record it.
In the haste an extra chopper" of
cartridges had been taken up, so that
Mr.. Nordenfeldt fired 1919 cartridges,
but took 2min. Assoc. The 10-bar-
relied short Calling fred 1000
rounds in 1min. 52sec. The Pratt
Whitney, worked by Captain O'Cal-
laghan, Captain Gould Adams, and
the gunner, made a block once by a
mishap in the breech not being serv-
ed. subsequently however, it did
the firing in 1min. 41sec.-no check
occurring at all.
There were many mis6res, owing,
it was said, to faulty ammunition.
There vas no attempt at range fir
ing but the shots ricochetted from a
sand bank 200 yards from the point
of firing to upwards Of 1900 yards.

MACHINE GUNS.

buryness the Machine Gun Commit
tee began tho trial Of the machine"
guns. The operations were conduct
cd under the superintendent of Cap
tain O'Callaghan, assisted by Captain
Gould Adams.
The guns on the ground included
three Cuttings Zone being a long ten
barrelled, one a short ten-barrelled,
and one a six-barrelied), two Norden-
feldts Zone a two and the other a five
barrelled), two of the American
Gardner pattern, and one of the
American Pratt Whitney's "improv-
ed Gardner" All the guns have one
thing in common-they take the SER
vice ammunition-so that the rife
ammunition can be served out indis-
c%riminately to machine guns or to
the infantry regiments. The Gatling,
Nordenfeldt, and large Gardner are
mounted OF light carriages, while the
smaller Gardner and Pratt Whitney
are mounted on tripods. The G%atling
is distinguished from all the others
by reason of the fact that its barrels
work round in firing. The barrels
of the others are horizontal-the
American guns, which are very much
alike, firing after the manner of a
regiment of infantry fle-iring. They
cannot volley fire; but this is not the
case with the NOrdenfeldt. which.
moreover, affords the advantages of
file firing. The Nordenfeldts are
we'll finished, light, and handy wea-
pons, each of the barrels being about
the weight of the ordinary Henry
barrel. 1t works upon the lever
principle, the frer managing il with
the right hand backwards, and for
wards, while with his left-the gun
turning on a pivot-he can vary the
direction of the fire. The ammuni-
tion 10 supplied to the Nordenfeldt in
hoppers placed over the chamber,
whence the rounds drop into the
breech, and, being thrust forward by
the breechblock into the barrel by
the actiop of the lever, are fired by the
one movement. The reverse action
of the lever opens the breech and
withdraws the empty case. This gun,
like each of the others, was served by
three persons, one working the action,
one serving the ammunition to the
chamber, and one handing up the
cases of cartridges. The Calling
has a crank action; the gun is fired
by a handle being turned, and the
ammunition 10 served in long metal
cases, which are fixed with a spring
over the chamber. whence the rounds
drop into the breech, and empty cases
or hoppers replaced with full ones.
The Gardener also has a crank action,
and the fve-barrelled one has a gun
metal column with FIVE slots placed
erect during the firing over the cham
Der. The ammunition is arranged in
cases which correspond in width to
these slots, and the cartridges are
held in the slots by their rims, thus
dropping in rotation into the breech,
and the empty cases falling below as
the gun is fired. The two-barrelled
Gardner has but one slot in the
column. The barrels are heavy in
metal. The Pratt Whitney is in

b~The Athennam, in the course OF
b critical review OF the revised New
Testament, says:
Judged from the scholars point OF
view, the version is superior to the old
one because it follows better text and
corrects many inaccurate renderings.
What is most obvious is the small
amount Of material change. A c,nser-
vative spirit prevsdes it. Perhaps this
was a prudent measure on the. whole,
when We consider the sensitive orthodoxy
OF the English Church, Or rather Of
those memhers whose Influence Was para.
mount among the revisers at the be-
ginning, middle and end. But might
not one scholar Of proved competence
belonging to that same Chuch have done
IS much within ten years1. Probably,
indeed, he would have thought it waste
Of time to spend those years on the
homo ,,athic revision OF venerable
translation. Yet the volume. with all
its shortcomings, will do good, ex,rci-
sing from the minds Of many simple
people the notion that the old version is

Him.

Brady Demands q Speedy Investi-
cation of the Charges Against
Him.
WARRINGTON, june 2s.-General Bra
DIV through his counseb Shellabarser 4
W ilson, to-day made application before
the court. Judge Cox presiding, for the
immediate investigation by the Grand
Jury of the Star Route charges. 1t was
stated on behalf Of Brady that he has
been subject to bitter assaults from the
press for months, and that the Govern
ment agents are represented as getting
evidence sgsinst him, and the newspa.
pers are continually filed with charges
against him. 1t was stated that the
Grand Jury empaneled would take up
and investigate the charges, and now i.
Is said that the whole matter will be
postponed until September. Brady
claimed the privilege under the law offs
prompt and speedy trial. and asked the
cour. to direct the Grand Jury 10 inves-
tigate the charges at once.
Colonel Cook, special counsel in the
Star Route cases, made speech, saying
that the evidence was net yet ready for
submission TO the Grand Jury; that not
a single case is yet complete, and to go
before the Grand Jury in its present
condition the cases would be complete
failure. He said the cases we're being
made up, and the evidence collected as
fast as possible, but it will be several
weeks before any case is complete. u 70
Mr. Cook spoke OF the importance Of
the charges, and said there was nosin-
tention Of persecution, but the Governs
ment means to clear itself OF all respon
sibility in the wrong. He said' the
charges of wrong extended to rFcksd
and up through Oregon, and all over
the Western border, and it might be
necessary TO call witnesses from these
far distant sections. Il
The Court held that 1t could notaex.
pedite matters by fastening the Grand
Jury investigation before the prosecu-
ton was ready, and SO all the Star Route
cases will 60 over till September, and
the present Grand Jury allowed recess
till then. - --.3 sa,& }
