ridges exploded, too; and the result was
four dead men and dozen in the hospital.
That gun was wrecked, but it's mate is on
exhibition here.
In the Government building you may
see as fine gun as any one should want
to shoot. 1t is 12-inch rifle, and weighs
DO tons. 1t is not quite as large as the
Krupp gun, and has not that monsters
effectiveness at long range, but 1T IS
more practical gun. Uncle Sam had his
plans prepared for the manufacture of
large number of these 12-inch guns, and
smaller number of 15-inch guns, to weigh
10 tons each. understand the latter
have been abandoned, and that the 12-inch
rifle is the largest ordnance our govern,
ment will make. This gun fires projec-
tile weighing 100 pounds, and has an ef-
fective range Of about eight miles.
AS / have already indicated, the rapid
fire, high-power gun is thought by ex-
perts to be the most useful type of modern
ordnance. We see here an English Arm
strong weighing Ga tons, with 6-inch
bore, throwing hundred pound projectile
and firing by electricity. The best trials
of this gun show speed of five aimed
shots in fifty-five seconds, four of them
striking the target at distance of little
more than half mile. The powder used
Is called cordite, and it is high-power ex-
plosive. This, therefore, may be regarded
as the very highest type of modern rapid
fire ordnance. Our own government Is
rapidly improving the Hotchkiss gun, and
is besides perfecting other types, so that in
few years at most Uncle Sam will be
abreast of the English in this form of ord
nance, as he is already in the forging OF
heavier pieces.
In rapidity of fire the French are ahead
of both the English and Americans. They
show O. gun here known as the Canet
rapid-fre gun, of 81 inches caliber and
II, 900 pounds weight. 1t throws 20
pound shell with "a pounds of smokeless
powder, and at recent trial seven shots
were fired in fifty-four seconds, while a
smaller gun of the same model fired five
shots in twenty-four seconds. The Rus
sian naval authorities have adopted this
gun for service on their cruisers and bat
tleships.
One of the most marvellous guns to be
found in the exposition is the Maxim
Nordenfeldt. Weighing two and half
tons, with caliber of ~ inches, it will
throw forty-five pound projectile through
4inch steel plates at distance of 100
yards. 1t can be fired at the rate of thirty
times minute, while smaller guns of the
same model have been fired sixty times in
q minute. More wonderful still is the
Maxim automatic gun, which has thrown
600 cartridges in O minute. The best
thought of all that came to me as walked
about amid all these big guns and death
dealing, lightning-like machines was that
the high state of the art of making war
seems to be bringing us perpetual peace.

Where Pianos Are Taxed.

Pianos are taxed in Elizabeth and some
folk know are very wrathy thereat. I
think that by taxing pianos Elizabeth
has placed itself in the very van of En-
lightment with the big e, for mark, aft
er all, it is not the instrument but the
player thereof that must pay the tax. If
the principle that warrants the tax is
faulty in any particular, it is in the fact
that the tax is not graded according to
the skill or want of skill of the player.
Had 1 my way would tax certain pianos
in this city 800 year, and there are
others that l would report to the board
Of health as nuisances that cried to
heaven for abatement. If Paderewsl1i
would come to town with piano or to
play on an instrument already here, /
would exempt it from taxation.
l bless without mental reservation
that law giver whose wisdom devised
the tax upon pianos. He should have a
monument beside which the figure of
Liberty in the bay would be but a
pygmy. He has perhaps the maledic-
tons of half the piano torturers in
town, but 81 honor him for the ene-
mics he has made," for the pianists he
has suppressed. I contend, however,
that the tax should be assessed not ac-
cording to the value of the instrument,
but according to the skill Of the player
The method l suggest would be most
equitable, it seems to me, and would go
far toward meeting all tho expenses Of
the city government.-Elizabeth N.J)

There can be no doubt that the pro.
vailing fashions have been greatly In
huenced by the recent exhibition OF the
arts de la femme held at the Palais de
PIndustrie, Paris, and which has proved
such great attraction to the feminine
population.
In all the new creations" we notice
many innovations borrowed from the
marvellous retrospective exhibits which
have caused quito revolution in modes
of dressing. Even in the wonderful
draperies Of the Tanagra, dating from
before the Christian era, one can hnd
suggestion. The splendid collection OF
ancient prints, ornaments, paintings,
showing all the different styles in toilets,
hairdressing, ETC., have proved great
boon to all our dressmakers and mil
liners, who have called forth many an
idea for the coming season. And we
shall not be- far out in saying that the
new toilets will bear the impress of by
gone days, but with adaptations to date.
When in the same day one can wear,
without in any way breaking the laws
of fashion, vatican and Louis XIV
morning gown, tailor made dress for
shopping or walking, an Anne of Austria
skirt for visiting and an empire gown
for the evening-when there is choice
between the styles of Louis XIII, Louis
XIV, 1880, the first and second empires
the most fastidious woman must be sat-
isfied. At last fashion seems to have re-
solved the difficult problem of pleasing
everybody, and having attained this ex-
cellent result must for time remain ex-
empt from any great revolution.-Con-
