lighted interiorily by number OF port
holes in the hull, which are airtlgnt, py
means of panes of heavy glass thirty
milimetres in thickness. AS it weighs
but ten tons it can easily be transport
ed on railroad truck or between tne
decks of man-of-war or packet poat.
An idea of the deadly power OF one
of the new rapid fire guns may De
gained from the fact that the new
Hotchkiss machine can fire III shots a
second, or 600 shots minute, or 36,OUU
shots an hour.
Unlike most other machine guns,
this new weapon has but one barrel,
and all the bullets pass through 1t and
all the explosions take place in the
same powder chamber. At first
thought it would seem impossible to
operate such a gun without causing
the chamber and barrel to heat in
very short time to such degree as to
render further firing impossible. but
this trouble has been overcome by an
ingenious yet extremely simple ar
rangement, the essential features of
which are that the barrel is perma-
nently fixed in the breach and that
none of the moving parts is subjected
to the heat developed by the power
gas.
In France the gun has been fired
rapidly for three hours, during which
time 100000 cartridges were discharged,
without any inconvenience because of
expanded parts.
The total weight of gun that will
fire thirty-calbre cartridges is twenty
pounds. 1t can be mounted on any
type of naval or military carriage or on
tripod like that shown in the cut for
use by cavalry, One man can handle
it readily, but the services of another
is required to supply ammunition.
The mechanism of the piece is ex-
tremely simple. Exclusive of the
sights, but including barrel, shoulder
piece, etc, there are only thirty-eight
parts and only four springs-the main
spring, the scar spring, the extractor
and the pawl spring. All the parts are
made to fit together without the use of
screws, and no tools are necessary to
completely dismount or to assemble
the gun excepting a small monkey
wrench.
1t ca readily be seen by this that

MADE A GREAT SUCCESS

l was talking with printer the other
day who worked for mum DER Of year
at Pennington, Mimi, for man by
the name of Sluires. At one time he
had partner by the name of Farmer,
the firm name being Farmer & Squires.
One day when the press was being
loaded the az" dropped out, leaving
plain Farmer Squires, and the edition
was run off before it WAS noticed /;
Farmer sold out the next day, but it
was Farmer Squires' paper from that
on. He made big success out of the
paper, although he did not know
four-pica lead from a two-revolution
Hoe, and he did not do thing toward
running the paper except make con-
tracts for foreign advertising-that
was his strong point; he got hay
knives, tanning mills, sewing ma
chimes, pile drivers, washing
machines for advertising; he accepted
all propositions, including patent med
icine and scholarships. The printer
had to do the rest; he built the fires,
set the type, got the news, attended to
the political and moral end of the
paper, smoked the wedding cigars,
chased over the country on bay horse
after subscribers, took the blame and
looked happy and the proprietor ed
tied the trading end. He traded farm
machinery for COWS, hogs, hens, grain,
wood, anything to sell, eat or burn.
Once he had an angry COW tied to the
front door of the printing office that he
had traded hay rake for. The COW
tore the clothes almost off the mayor
of the town, who rushed into the office
80 mad that he forgot to stop the
paper, but he scared the devil 80 bad
that he stopped his growth. Some
times there would Le an auction at the
Office, and Squires would stand on the
bed of the Fairhaven press and sell a
lot of truck so there would be room in
the office to get out the paper, but he
never got stuck on anything, and
finally sold out for big figure on the
strength of his profits, which quit with
him.-Grafton, Mimi, Record.

The men of the blue and gray who
are talking so jubilantly of going to
war again hand in hand to whip John
Bull, would find in the event of active
hostilities that their experience of 30
years ago would not count for much in
this age of scientific slaughter. True,
their bravery has been tested; they
would not break and run at the first
roar of battle and they know the mean
ing of military discipline. But the
scores of new scientific engines for
dealing wholesale destruction would
puzzle them.
If the war becomes a reality it will
be as different from the struggle of
generation ago as that war was from
the battles Of the middle ages. Sci
ence will make the battle of the future
like game of chess, with the opposing
generals sitting far away from the
scene OF actual strife and moving the
great bodies of men under them, like
the skilful player moves chessmen.
General Won Moltke, in the Franco
Prussian struggle, was the first to play
the game of war in this way, and won
derful eeries of successes resulted.
It would take largest ed book to
describe the many unique appliances
which will be used in the next var. lu
the first place there is the bicycle, and
right here it should be stated taat the
bicycle within the past year or two has
been recognized the world over by the
great military generals and strategists
as of supreme Importance in time of
war. The United States Military
Wheelmen, representing state militia
and regular army sold ers and officers
the country over, has been in existence
some time. At its first national coz
vention Major General Nelson A.
Miles, head of the Ulited States army,
said this of the bicy yc,e:
ave have seen enough TO convince
many men that il will be one of the
most useful Appliances in war. L have
heard il said that you caunot maueu-
yer large bodies Of men on bicycles. l
have heard men mako that statement,
but there are some men who couldn't
maneuver large bodies OF men on
horse, foot, bicycle or any other way.
Bicycles can be used by men who be-
lieve in the bicycle, who have conf
dence in it and know that it can be
used for war purposes. 1t can be used
in some places where horse cannot be
used. The horse can be used in some
places where the bicycle cannot be
used. You cannot swim river on a
bicycle. But you can conceal it there
for several days, fish it up and ride
away, which you cannot do with a
horse. There are many uses and means

The Unique Appliances, as Yet Untried, That Will
Come Into Use in the Next Great War
Make Results Uncertain
AiSh Parts the Next
Struggle.-The Veteran of Thirty Years Ago Would
Losn n Army With Modern
Equipments az Methods

Not only will the army wagon and the
gun carriages be propelled by their
own force, but great movable fortresses
will be brought into use. These will
be armored like the new warships and
tenanted by a score or two of sharp
shooters and rapid-fire guns. They
will readily be moved from place to
place and be practically impregnable.
A travelling fort could not be destroyed
nearly so quickly as warship, for the
reason that there is no water to rush
into the former. A hundred holes can
be shot clear through it and yet it will
go on unless the vital machinery be
broken.
The submarine torpedo-boat will also
come into play Naval scientists have
been working on this problem for years,
and il is believed that each one of the
great nations has a submarine boat,
capable of doing effective work. Such
a possession would be treasured as a
secret OF great value and every p ossble
means adopted to prevent other ma
tions from learning the details of its
construction.
The fact that Mr.. Goubet, French

The balloon will also figure in the
next war, and perhaps air ships.
France has an air ship which is care
fully guarded. No one is allowed to
see it and no drawings have been made
Of it. 1t is said to be a cigar shaped
envelope, within which is the gas and
a small bag, wich is to be pumped full
of air. An electric motor drives in the
rear screw propeller. 1t is said that
the airship is able to make speed OF
at least twenty-five miles an hour.
Uncle Sam has just completed the
building of a big balloon near Denver,
capable of carrying several officers and
fitted with telegraph and telephone
machines. A drag rope will always
connect the balloon with the ground,
and by means of the wires the officers
in the air will communicate with those
below.
In conjunction with the balloon,
bicycles are to be used, and on a coil
of the wheel the wire is run and paid
out ao the machine progresses. Thus,
when the balloon has started up, the
officer on the wheel races for the tent
of the general and the telephone wire
is carried along and let out till the tent
is reached. This wire makes direct
communication between the officers on
thefield and the man in the air, who,
from his station has a complete view
of the enemy and can thus give i'm
portant information to his superiors.
Germany has an army of trained
blood hounds for use in event of war.
They carry ammunition and dispatches
and are taught to seek the wounded
after battle. The ancients used fierce
dogs in their wars, and they invariably
terrorized the opposing troops. 1t is
not probable that Uncle Sam will make
use of dogs in event of war, as their
efficiency is regarded with much doubt.

to which you can apply bicyc where
you cannot use horse, and where a
man cannot perform the same service
on foot. l think your association to be
q commenda BILE one. | DO not think it
will lessen your interest in the Nation
al Guard more than similar private as
sociatiOns of military men have lessened
their interest in the service"
In many of the states there are BIZ
cycle regiments and companies; there
are bicycle companies in the regular
army, and it is only question of @
short time when bicycles will become
general in all military evolutions.
When these are in use marches of 100
miles or more will be made in the light
of one day. Forced ones of double
length will easily be made in twenty
four hours. The bicycle needs but lit
tie Dil and is always ready.
1t is also apparent to progressive
military men that with the advent of
the bicycle must come the advent of
the horseless carriage in the army pro-
vision train.
Another important bearing of the
compact road motor upon modern war
fare will be the possibility of hauling
field cannon without the aid of horses.
The field piece is the clumsiest of all
instruments of warfare to manage dur
ing retreat. For this reason alone
cannon are so often deserted in the
field to fall into the hands of the
enemy.
When good roads make the horseless
conveyance popular, we will have to
propel our cannon at rapid rate, on
the march, to keep up with the rapid
pace of the bicycle cavalry and in
fantry and the provision wagons pro-
pelled by the storage battery, naptha
gasoline, petroleum and other motors
It looks as if the army mule was
doomed to pass away like the car horse.

Bernhardt in her home is almost as
theatrical as ON the sta ye. Every room
in her house is like gorgeous scene

boys costumed in the dress of the orient

she has killed in various parts of the
world. She does not like to speak Eng

This is typical of Bernhardt. She will

But with eccantricities and strange

crowd of New York newspaper report
ers on the arrival of the steamer in

"Ah, how glad J. am to get back here

1t is an inspiration"
At this particular time it is interest
ing to look back upon the early stage
career of Bernhardt. She was Is years

The commander in the field will see
his officers and men fall around him
without knowing whence the blow is
struck. Two or three skilled marks
men will be able to pick off every man

fires five shots from the magazine as
fast as the trigger can be pulled, and
quick as a wink another set of five

together in sets of five with paper

that the murder was carefully planned

because he mistook Miss Sullivan for an
