Long Distance shooting.

The longest distance that a
shot has been fired is u few yards
over fifteen miles. which was the
range of krupp's well-known
monster" 130-ton steel gun, firing
a shot weighing 1900 pounds. The
Hilton Armstrong gun has an eX
IRENE range of fourteen miles. fir
ing a shot weighing 1900 pounds.
and requiring 800 pounds of pow
der. These guns. however, proved
too expensive, being unable to
stand firing a hundred times, and
their manufacture has practically
been abandoned. The % ton Arm
strong gun hurls a solid shot for a
distance of twelve miles, and the
discharge of the gun cannot be
heard at the place where the ball
strikes. From twelve to thirteen
miles is the computed range of
the most powerful guns now made,
and to obtain that range an eleva
ton of nearly fOrty-tive degrees is
found to be necessary. Quick-fir
ing guns are more to be depended
upon at the present day than ex
IRENE length of range, and in this
respect what is considered the
most wonderful of guns, perhaps,
is one of the MaXims, which can
fire as many as 900 shots a minute,
and yet is so light that a soldier
can carry it strapped to his back.
regarded, the i'm
mense sum of $4,000 was ex-
pended in constructing the mon
ster Krupp gun, and each project
lie cost S4750.

OF means for accomplishing the trans
port of the perishable produce of dis

lasian, is that of packing butter in a
box made of six sheets of ordinary
glass, all the edges being covered over
with gummed paper. The glass box
is enveloped i'll layer of plaster of
Paris, quarter of an inch thick, and
this is covered with specially prepared
paper. The plaster being bad con.
ductor of heat, the temperature inside
the Theoretically sealed receptacle re-
mains constant, Eeing unaffected by
external changes. The cost of pack :
ing is about two cents per pound.
Butter packed in the way described at
Melbourne has been sent across the
sea TO South Africa, and when the case
was opened ut Kimberley, 700 miles
from Cape Town, the butter was found
to be as sound rs when it left the fac
tory at Victoria. Cases are now made
to hold as much as two hundred weight
OF butter, and forty hands, mostly
boys and girls, are occupied in making
the glass receptacles and covering
them with plaster. The top, or lid,
however, is put on by u simple
mechanical arrangement, and is
removed by the purchaser equally
easily. A saving OF twenty-five pe-
cent. on freight and packing is claimed
in comparison with the cost OF frozen

Long after meetings of protest were
permissible to women in England and
America, they were looked upon as
shocking and utterly forbidden in
Germany. Now we see over 1900 per-
sons, mostly women, gathered in Ber.
lin from among the most reputable
families, Offering speeches and resolu-
tions in behalf of their economic in.
dependence, demanding property
tights for women in their own names,
repudiating, root and branch, the bar
barrie old Roman code as no longer be-
longing to modern conditions, and de .
mandipg new womanhood generally.
The old school of conservatism still
smiles contemptuously at these dem.
onstrations of women, but the names
OF burgomasters, countesses, baron.
esses and duchesses already appear on
the petitions, and by.and-by it will be
no laughable matter. Men slip the
fetters of civilizations of 1000 years
ago, but leave women bound by them.
This will not be tolerated much long
er, however, even in conservative Ger
many.

United States Consul Donnelly,
resideni IN Mexico, has published n
very interesting report on the relative
value of the modern languages Tor
commercial purposes. English is, of
course, the leading commercial Ian.
guage of the world. But, next TO
English, says Consul Donnelly, u
knowledge Of Spanish is worth more
to an American commercial negotiant
than OF any other language. We
Americans make more efforts to do
business with 100000 Canadians
than with 80, 100000 Spanish speaking
people in South America. Within IA
few hours ride of our frontier are
14.000,000 Spanish speaking people.
England is able to cultivate trade re-
lations with them because her COM
mercial travellers are all armed with a
knowledge of Spanish. England has
coaxed the bulk of South American
trade away from us by being able to
negotiate in Spanish. Sending agents
into these countries who cannot speak
the language is folly peculiar..to our
people. Americans have no equals in
the art of talking business" But it
is impossi ible to talk business without
a knowledge of the tongue of ones
solicited customer. Consul Donnelly's
advice is very sensible and timely.
