Long Shots.


The longest distance that a shot has
been fred is few yards over Is miles,
which was the range Of Krupp's we'll
known monster 100 ton steel gun,
firing shot weighing 2,eOO pounds.
The Ill ton Armstrong gun has an ex.
treme range of Id miles firing a shot
weighing 1900 pounds and recurring
$50 pounds of powder. These guns,
however, proved too expensive, being
unable to stand firing 100 times, and
their manufacture has practically been
abandoned The % ton Armstrong gun
hurls solid shot for q distance Of 12
miles. and the discharge of the gun can
not be heard at the place where the ball
strikes. From 10 to ID miles is the COM
puted range of the most powerful guns
now made, and TO obtain that range an
elevation OF nearly 40 degrees is found
to be necessary. Quick firing guns are
more depended upon at the present day
than extreme length of range, and in
this respect what is considered the most
wonderful of guns, perhaps, is one of the
.Maxfms, which can fire as many as 600
shots a minute and yet is SO light that
soldier can carry it strapped to his
back. Financially regarded, the i'm

TWO CUTE FOXES
They Had Fun While Baf3ed .Hunecra
Wondered whese They were Hidden.

They Had Fun While Baffaed sHunecra
Wondered Whese They Wero Hidden.
In Outing Is told the story Of pair
OF foxes that for O time, at any rate,
enjoyed the sport Of fox hunt. The
dogs jumped them. but after awhile the
trail ended at pond !
About the center Of the pond was o
bent tree, tho two ends Of which were
In the water, while the highest poinS Of
the curve was perhaps 30 feet above The
pond. The dogs were working about
the pond. looking foF tho trail, and the
men were looking, too, and they were
beginning TO feel rather curious, eepe-
cially as every few moments they would
hear fox yelp sharply It seemed to be
a derisive bark, which 1t probably was.
After awhile movement in the top Of
the curve OF the tree in the pond attract-
ed attention
upon this tree tho account con-
tinues, seated comfortably at the point
of Its highest curve, wns an old dog fox.
The cunning rascal had travelled across
the pond ON the logs, then scaled the
bent tree, and while we watched he
jerked his goodly brush up and down
and barked his derisin at the whole
performance. After awhile we saw his
vixen seated ON an adjacent log. They
were simply Watching the futile efforts
of our paok to locate them, and, likely
enough. they enjoyed the experience "
One OF the men got up wind from the
animals and his scent drove them out
The dogs took the male foxAs tran and
drove 1t at last TO O log spanning q
ditch, on which man was sitting. The
fox did not see the motionbess man till
close enough to be reached, when, with
a frantic leap sideways into tho water,
he escaped the grab. The race did not
last long then. The wet fox gave off
strong, easily followed scent. and the
wet brush was like piece of lead, SO
the animal was killed by the dogs while
the men rushed in afoot to get q closer
view.

Client to convince 8 out Of the 10 Jurors

While in the Papal zouaves he was
recognized by a Canadian acquaintance,
