SHARP JEWISH WIT,
Anecdotes which show that tho IIebrew
Can Appreciate u Jokc.

A striking commentary was recently
made by a Russian jew on the judicial
corruption which stains his country.
He passed the law courts in II of the
cities of the cmpir. and noticed q fine
statue placed in front of the building.
writes Chief Rabbi Adler in the Fort
nightly RepiesU.
Whom does this statue representa-"
he inquired of n passcr-by. why.
Justice, of coursew How sad" ex-
claims the jew, hcavinga profound
sigh, "that Justice should be relcgatcd
to the outside of tho editice and be al
together excluded from admission
within!"
"Deatll is the best physician" said a
willing to his medical attendant, who
had been somewhat too assiduous in
his professional visits. why sop"-
asked the doctor. because he only
pays one visit"
A dialogue overheard at the Stock
Exchange on a frosty winters day:
aMr. Moses, what would you advise
me to buy to-dayp" thermometers,
of course; they are very low at pres
cnt, and are sure TO rise"
A Mr.. Goldsmith became a convert
to Christianity. He thought it adyis-
able to adopt a name with q more
Gentle ring, and dubbed himself Mr..
Smith. "What q fool" exclaimed a
member of the congregation on hear
ing of the change; this is the first
jew who has thrown away his gold"
AT a festive banquet representatives
of the Protestant, Catholic and Jewish
clergy had been invited, and were Gu
gagged in pleasant converse. The rab-
hi, faithful to tho dietary precepts of
his religion, partook of only a few of
the dishes. An appetizing joint of
roast pork was set on the table. The
Catholic priest turned to his neighbor
and asked, "Whcn will the time come
that l may have the privilege of serv-
ing you with n slice of this delicious
meat?" sWhen l have the gratifica-
%tionsof assisting at your reverence's
wedding," the rabbi rejoined, with o
courteous bow.

less powder and throws a seventy
pound shell. In rapidity of fire the
French are ahead of both British and
Americans, for at a trial of one Of
these guns at exhibitions two years
ago seven unnamed shots were fired in
seconds and ut another trial
of a smaller one of the same type five
unaimed shots were fred in twenty
four seconds. The Russian naval
authorities have adopted the Canet
type of rapid-frc gun for their service.
Then there are other types of such
ordnance on display in their depart
ment by the different nationalities.
There is a Danish gun known as the
Finspong and a Dutch gun known as
the Gericke, the invention of Captain
Gericke of the Dutch navy. Then
there is the Gruson, which is the inven'
ton of a Prussian officer. This gun Is
lighter than either the British o,
American type, but it fires an average
of thirteen shots in thirty seconds.
Then there is the Krupp rapid-ire gun,
which is now on exhibition in the
Krupp pavilion. This is q heavier gun
than any except the Armstrong, but j,
is not SO rapid. The largest type car
ries seventeen pounds of powder and
%seventy-six pound shell, but its highest
speed is seven aimed shots a minute.
In the transportation building are
several rapid.hre guns manufactured
by private English firms. The best o.
these is known as the Maxim-Norden
feldt. This gun is four and three
quarter inch caliber, weighs two and
half tons, and throws a forty-fv'
pound proiectile. Trials made in Eng
land with this gun provo that at
range of 100 yards four-inch steel plate!
were pierced with ease. The chic
beauty of these small pieces, however
is the speed with which they can b.
fired. The gun of this make of three
inch caliber, or what is known as
contemporaries, can be fred thirty
five times a minute. The two-inch gun
or three-pounder, has attained a speet
of sixty shots a minrte, or one ever
second. In fact, at one trial this gul
fred sixty shots in fifty-nine seconds
In this same exhibit is perhaps to b
found the most effective machine GU

Modern rapid-fire ordnance has at.

the artillery display Of every country
there is something marvellous and
novel. What the old thirty-two-pound
cannon did to win victories for Nelson
and the galaxy Of American commo-
dores, who in the early part of the
century did 30 much to glorify the
American flag, the light rapid-fre ar
tillery of to-day is able to accomplish
ten-fold. The proved inventions in
this line Of artillery are so numerous
that they almost become wearisome.
The Americans have four types OF
equal value. These are the Hotchkiss,
the Briggs-Schroeder, another type in
vented by Ensign Dashiell, of the navy,
ard yet another whose name is not
now recalled. England exhibits the
Armstrong r~apid-ire gun, to be seen al
the fair, which is fully the equal Of any
of the American type. The chief feat

But for the timid-minded one there
is no hope. What is he to think when
on his very entrance to the city, before
the depot is reached, his curious gaze
is fixed by a sign that, as it fits past
the car window, leaves these words
branded into his memory: "Visitors
to the fair must not leave Chicago"
What will it mean to lin but the
horrible %intinlation that these western
bandits, of whom his home papers
have told him such lurid tales. not con
tent with ritling his pockets, intend to
hide his pulseless corpse beneath the
calmly smiling waters of Lake Michi-

How is he to know that that terrible
legend goes blithely or to say "wial-

if this Scilla of the railrond does not
alright him how is he to escape the

trance to the fair when he approaches
the Sixty-fourth street gate and his
startled gaze lights on the three gay
gilt balls and the cheering intellig-
ence:

What is he to think? There is the
fair concealing unheard-of estortion
beneath a smiling, sunny exterior.
There in his grips are his home
papers warning him solemnly not to
venture near, and here at the very
gates is the pawn shop. What a the
