gun took place to-day at the naval
ordnance proving grounds near here
under Lieutenant Commander James

and the naval attaches of the German

ton. The gun uses the same ammuni-
ton as the Hotchkiss six-pOunder. and
the inventor claims several points of SUI
periority over that gun. The test to-
day was for rapidity of firing, non-heat-
ing qualities, security against prema-

chinery. The gun was fired nineteen
times in one minute, and sixty times in
four minutes and twenty seconds, every
thing working satisfactorily.

Is the Vesuv,us a Failure?

"The final official trial OF the guns of
the United States cruiser Vesuvius has
proved a great success" was the report
sent out by the officer who conducted the
tests three weeks ago, says the New
York Tribune, 1t was the final trial of
a series to test the rapidity OF fire, or,
rather, the efficiency OF the guns: The
first trial of the Vesuvius was to test
her speed; the second was the accuracy
test of the guns from a station at Fort
Lafayette: and then there were two or
three tests for rapid firing. In the mean
time there has been accommodating
heavy penalties againt the vessel for
overtime, and. of late, at the rate of
500 day. There is much criticism of
the efficiency of the guns in the last
test, and IL is suggested that new trial
at regular target practice is 10 be or
dered. True, it was demonstrated that
the dynamite gun can throw about live
hundred pounds OF dynamite minute,
for in the the trial fifteen shots were
fired in fifteen minutes; but il IS claimed
that the accuracy of fire cannot be de-
pended upon at any distance above a
mile, nor in seaway. 1t is plain there

westbound train on the Union Pacific, and
all was well until the conductor requested
her ticket. As the tiny little hand made its
appearance from beneath an elegant wrap
the scrutinizing eye of the conductor fell
upon the perforated piece of parchment.
The contrast between the original pun chaser
and the holder of the ticket was so great
that the knight of the punch ndulged in u

he asked the fair patron of his train where

The scottish Rite IN Court.


A commission has spent thirteen days In
New York city taxing testimony to be used
in the law proceedings in Ohio in connection
with the Scottish rite controversy. The evil
dence thus taken covers $40 pages of type
written matter AS witnesses there were
produced Daniel Sckel, who was grand
secretary general at the time of the Impor-
tant meeting held In Boston December ID,
1856, which is virtually conceded TO be the
turning point upon which rests the legitima-
cy OF the United States, or Cerneau coun-
Gil; Clinton +. Paige, the present grand
secretary; A. p. Moriarty, his assistant,
and Charles T. McClenachan. For the
plaintiff, or Cerneau sde appeared Robert
B. Folger, Hopkins Thompson, Edward w.
Atwood and John G. Barker. The value of
the testimony can be estimated from the
standing in the fraternity, and the long ex-
perience of those giving 1T. The promise
is made that all this testimony will be
printed in full, so that all interested in this
controversy may learn for themselves the
knowledge of these witnesses who were
personally cognizant of transactions of vital
interest in the history of Scottish rite ma
sonry in the United States.
The United States, or Cerneau men, are
very much pleased over the admissions OF
their opponents. 1t Is said that Clinton +.
Paige, who was present nj the celebrated
meeting in 1866, testified that the council was
reorganized according to the constitution OF
1856, and the members elected in accordance
herewith. AS the council was working
under the constitution OF 1852, this testi-
mony practically substantiates the claim that
the grand commander at that time usurped
authority, and based his action on consttu
tions not recognized by the body over which
he presided; that he dissolved the council
and liberated its members from their allie

Views of the British Premier.

In his recent speech at the
Mansion House, London, Lord Sails
bury said that England's aim in
foreign affairs was always "peace
with honor" Concerning the i'm
mediate danger of a conflict, he re-
garded the vast preparations that
had been made as great security
for peace. Events in Egypt did not
menace the permanent prosperity of
that country, The disorder on the
frontier would be suppressed.
England had entered into engage
ments not to abandon Egypt until
the latter was capable of maintain
ing her own government in the face
of foes, and these engagements Eng
land would assuredy fulfil. Refer
ring to Crete, he did not consider
that there was any need to fear that
the present movement would lead to
a European disturbance. He re-
pudiated the remotest desire to see
ing England in possession of Crete.

a TRAMCAR STARTER.

Every tramcar has to start from a
state of rest, and as trans are being
constantly stopped and set going,
sometimes within the space of few
yards, there is a great strain upon
the mules and horses. Indeed this
Is the cause Of the heavy expendi-
ture in animals upon tramcar routes.
The mere hauling is trivial matter;
1t Is the continual overcoming of the
Wis inertia. Recently a tramcar
starter has been invented and has
been in actual use on one of the
lines near London. The apparatus
consists mainly of coiled spring in
connection with a clutch arrange
ment and spud on the drivers
platform. A movement of the
drivers foot throws the arrangement
into or out of gear and one revolu-
ton of the wheels is sufficient to
charge the spring for restarting.
On starting the car, the first forward
movement causes tension on the
traces and releases the spring,
which, acting on the wheels, causes
the car to move gently forward
several feet, in fact following the
horses up. We give this bit of
information to the tram company
here, 1t will probably save them
thousands of dollars, but don't send
Us free pass, as we might not hunt
up any more street car improve
ments.
