slMs-DUDLEY IMPROVED DYNAMITE GUN.
is obvious that some of the objections
raised against the use of such form
Of armament on shipboard do not apply
to Its use in forts There is more room
for it, and it no longer has the I'M
stable platform given by the rolling
and pitching Of vessel In seaway.
1t can likewise be so protected in fort
as to occasion less fear Of its demoli-
ton by an enemy's fire. Regarded as
an aerial torpedo, 1t has far greater
range than the submarine torpedo, and
it may either strike upon the deck Of a
vessel or explode beneath the keel
Recent experiments have convinced
the best students of ordnance that the
use of dynamite justifies the expendi-
ture Of millions of dollars where thou
sands have previously been expended.
The dynamite gun can be used in forth
+ fications, as torpedo defense Of har-
Dor or, in swift-moving torpedo boats.
as a defense of men-of-war against
movable torpedoes or for siege opera
tons on land by regular approaches.
The application Of the dynamite prin-
ciple of ordnance to class of guns
light, easily manipulated and quickly
moved will in all probability eventu-
ally displace field artillery. Dynamite
guns may be mounted upon fast un-
armOred vessel or whole fleet of
them, and the giant-powder shells shot
into the enemy with such fierce rapid
ity as to quickly render him helpless.
Virtually the expense of the armor and
heavy steel guns is rendered unneces-
sary by the use of the pneumatic dy-
Mantle guns, at least so far as lin
shore" fighting is concerned.

The movement to induce merchants IN

from the ministers Of many churches yes

on many previous occasions but at no

at present, not only from the clerks, but
from the general public.

said he was in sympathy with tho move.

have purchases to make, do SO during the

~ Is Believed the Ex-AmDQssAOOr
VIII Not Survive Many Days.
Dedham. Mass. Sept. b.-The condi-
ton of Thomas Il. Bayard, former am
bassador to England. who is at Karl
ttein, the home of his daughter. Mrs.
Warren. was critical yesterday. So
pronounced has been the change in the
past two or three days that 1t IL
thought the patient will not survive
many days.
Mr.. Bayard came to "Karlstein." the
sammer home of Mr.. and Mrs. s. II.
Warren, about three weeks ago. His
health was not good. and during the
Arst two weeks 1t did not improve. A
week ago change came. which ap-
peared to be 4 gradual breaking up OF
the system. combined with kidney
trouble. At first Is was thought not
Nicely that his case would prove seri-
Gus. although 1t was admitted by those
IN attendance that the end Of a great
career was not far off. The extreme
heat of the past few days has had a
depressing effect upon the patient and
~ Friday anxiety was keeniy felt A
0eaaAltafion OF physicians was held.
Late on Friday a favorable turn was
noted. but on Saturday the change was
for the worse. Yesterday he was semi
conscious. with fair pulse. which gave
hope that q favorable turn might soon
come.
