ON new TARGETS
Latest From America at
Kakaako Butts.
Placed by Sergt. Elvin-Fieures Like
SoldierS-Much Better Scores
Can Now be Made

A new target, SKA feet, has been
placed at Kakaako butts for the Sharp
shooters and the Military, this in the
shape of the upper half of man in
position on the ground, the whole fig
ure taking two feet. The target as
used by the United States Army has
the figure of the man at the bottom
but on account of the difference in faci-
lities here, Sergeant Elvin, who has
charge of the butts, was forced to place
the figure in the middle of the target,
which, being six feet high, allows two
feet above and two below. On the tar
get as used by the United States Army,
any shot striking the figure, counts D,
the spaces of either side, 4, the two
foot space in the middle, and the last
at the top, 2 points. The change made
| by Mr. Elvin gives the fiugre, ); the
| spaces TO either side, 4 the two-foot
| space below, and the two-foot space
above 2 points. The target With the
figure at the lower part was found
impractica on account of the fact
that the frame surrounding it was shot
to pieces as we'll as the sliding appar-
| tuS.
The Sharpshooters and Military men
are very much pleased with the new
target. Of course there is much more
chance for scoring IS but then, to have
ANYTHING resembling a figure to shoot
at. lends an additional incentive. The
Sharpshooters have already made sew
| hn
since Saturday Lieutenant Ross Of
Company G. succeeded in making AZ.
Here is part of what recent num-
Der of Harper's Weekly has to sa!
about the new target:
'In the Spring of the present year
as the result of the recommendation
of the Army Small-Arms Board, ra
dical change was made by the adopt
: ion of the silhouette target. The the
DRY of this target is that the soldle
should be trained to shoot at mari
such as the enemy would present. Tn
bulls eye, or, as it is now called, IN
figure in the 200-yard target, l
therefore the silhouette in black, on
white ground, of a soldier lying down
s.head on" In the 500-yard target, tn
figure is kneeling; in the SOO-yar
target. the figure is standing; and tn
1OO-yard figure is that of soldier o
horseback. The tendency of all troop
! being to shoot high, an endeavor
made in the new target to overcom
this tendency by placing the figure
the bottom instead Of in the centre.
"The divisions regulating the valu
of shots are entirely different, and tn
area of the figure is much greater tina
in the old bull's-eye.
1.-THE effect on the scores OF tn
greater area in the central objective
most apparent at 200 yards. At tn
range the figure is compact and con
+ paratively regular in shape, and tt
element of chance enters less than
the other targets, in which it is ev
dnt that a shot either close to II
n arm-pit in the 500-yard or high up b.
H, tween the legs in the S00-yard, is clio
Ia er to the centre and unquestlonab
better than one which chance mlgl
lodge in the elbow, or in the foot
the figure, but which counts for NOR
1t is at 200 yards, therefore, that a
curate holding is surest OF counting.

Amphibious Electric Road.

A very curious amphibious electric
railway has been opened at Brighton
"a railway which runs from Brighton
to Nottingham (sonle four and half
mles) through the water instead of
under it. This is accomplished by the
rails being laid at low-water mark. and
by mounting the car on iron stills.
The result Is that at high tide the car
runs along with salt water sometimes
ten feet deep on each side-and yet no
seasickness- The motive power is cleo
tricty, conveyed by the overhead wire
from a dynamo at Nottingham. What
would be the result of running o car
in a gale of wind and high sea we 10
not know, but probably the company
which runs the line does not care.
Since the line is purely a pleasure one.
we presume that the cars VIII not run
in bad weather. The car. which is
made to look something like the deck
of yacht. has sort of snowplow in
front. which cuts through the water.
II the railway succeeds we may. per
haps. see the whole OF our south coast
towns threaded on an electric wire

REFUSE OYSTER SHELLS.
Maryland Foots Up 1900. 900 Tons Dss,

Tho waters OF Maryland produce one
third OF the total supply IN the world
1t yields twice as many of the luscious
bivalves as are grown in all foreign
countries combined During the PRES

enormous sum OF $3.50. ooo. ooo. Almost
all of this country is dependent for the
abundance and chez.pness Of this eds

From here also come very nearly all tho
