the statement that Gen. Logan was
born in Illinois in 1896, and that both
his parents were pure Irish. There are
many Irishmen, says the Telegram,
who are of the same swarthy, straight,
black haired, high cheek bOned, Indi-

they are sometimes called, were, it is
asserted, Phenicians who visited Eng

A wond rful Field Piece.
lCiicago Tribune.l

A new field piece is shortly to be intro
duced into the English army. The guns
are 124-pounder breech-loaders, and are
said to surpass anything yet produced in
accuracy, range, and quickness of loading
and firing The range is up to about
5000 yards, but the charge of powder is
very large-viz: four pounds The
naturally heavy recoil is obViated by the
carriages being fitted with brakes. The
projectiles are fitted in the base with a
copper driving ring, by which rotation is
given to the shot, thus securing both
accuracy of direction and greater length
Of range The shells are made of cast
steel, the bursting charge is one pound
twelve ounces, and the destruction which
would result on firing at earthworks or at
troops en- masse. it is said would be
immense
Another great advantage of the new
gun is that they are so constructed
they only require to be sponged out at the
close OF the days practice, The expert
ments with them have been so successful
that it is said the whole of the Royal
Horse Artillery viii be armed with them.

that women will, other things being equal,

Whatever theory may be held as to the
origin of cholera, it can hardly be denied
that, historically, its inroads have always
been in alluvial districts and river valleys.
The coincidence, therefore, between the
geographical area Of the Spanish inunda
tons and the Spanish cholera epidemic
affords very practical lessons. 1t appar-
emily illustrates, in a most striking way
the main physical conditions under which
violence and also indicates the regions
and localities which will be most exposed
to it on its future travels, while it points
with fresh force the moral of universal
sanitation as the only security against the
dread scourge
