Moving Mounted Targets FOR infantry.

A very curious and ingenious piece of
machinery is in operation at Hythe,
France. where the school Of musketry is
1t present in daily practice. A number
of dummy figures representing q detaeh-
ment OF mounted Lancers is placed on
Lorries, which are then started at q speed
equal to that Of q charge Of cavalry. The
start i'd made eight hundred yards from
the point where the infantry is drawn up
for practice, armed with new magazine
rifle in which the charge consists OF
smokeless powder.
When the signal is given the riflemen
begin to fire and the result on the dunn
mics shows exactly Whatthe result would
actually have been had a squadron OF
cavalry been charging that body of IN
fantry. The system is 50 simple that It
il expected ii will be used very much
more extensively in the future because
the additional cost of the dummies is al
most inappreciable, while the advantage
to the men in firing at a moving target,
Is would be the case in actual warfare,
eannotbe overeatimated. The only draw
back to the system is that the dummies
cannot return the fire, butthis y not PEI
lieved to be serious ii 20 far as affecting
thu accuracy OF the aim Of the men goes,

CHOICE ROSES,

Tea roses are always pretty, and their
deilcacy in coloring, shape, and fra
graacs does not seem to extend to their
growth, for they give almost always
good results. The Bonsilene is one of
the most most popular of all roses, its
buds being particularly beautiful. The
La France, another favorite, is often
classed among the tea roses. It has
pink petals shaded off to a very light,
and sometimes white, color at the edge.
Not only are its close. buds beautiful,
but the flower in full bloom is of the
prettlest of the pink roses. The Som
breuil is creamy white, often tinged with
pink, and is a frequent blooner. The
Dnchesse de Brabant is a delicate she'll
pink rose.-American Farmer.
