DEADLY VAR MISSILES.

Fired from the Ginard Gun and Propelled
by Carbon,c Acid Gas.
The Gifiard gun. which was tried recently at
Nottingham by a Board OF English army off,
GERS, seems likely to be the first gun which
uees any other propellng agent than powder
to attain anything like = practical success.
The propelling agent Of NJ. Paul Giffard's rife
is liquefied carbonic acid gas The gun itself
is not new. nor 10 the principle upon which 1t
is constructed. NJ. Gffard has had gun be-
fore the public for more than three years. but
since that time he has made several improve
ments and considerably modified 1t in detail.
The propelling agent which he uses makes
very little noise and no smoke. and leaves no
odor. Only q very slight recoil follows tho
discharge. and tho gun does not foul The
propelling agent is always completely under
the control OF the person handling the gun.
In appearance the Gifrard gun 10 something

The action OF the TresbyteriAns To CON
demning Prof Briggs Is almost too ridiculous
to grow indignant over 1t is best to treat 1t
lightly. and it Is sure to be SO regarded by the
world OF scholars. This Condemnation was
based upon a misleading OF the Scriptures. 1t
was affirmed that Prof. Briggs contradicted
the Word OF God. and IN proof ~ text was cited
from Timothy. II is ridiculous to cond emn q
man upon a misleading OF Scripture,
Il sympathiZe with DR. Briggs in his teach
inRs, which ! think are in Keeping with the
Westminster Creed That creed is very broad.
and DR.. Briggs has ably proved that his ideas
are in harmony with IT, As TO tho teachings
themselves. without reference to the harmony
with the Westminster Creed think they are
the only ones on which the Christian faith can
be maintained. 4 ! thought that the Bible
was insrrant and DR.. Briggs and those OF the
same views wrong, / should abandon 1t i'm
mediately. ! receive letters from Preshy-
terians in different parts of the country ask
Ing for help In matters OF belief, and the only
way can help such IL by interpretations OF
