become an object of ridicule among the mill
tary men it has gone to Join. While it was at

absence.
When Col. Bryan passed down the line. gen.

failed to notice his Colonel's presence at all. and
when he did 1t was merely to take his pipe out
of his mouth long enough to nod and say.

Nearly every man In this regiment is q per-
sonal friend OF the Colonel. The men were
used to Hello. Billy" while at home and they
were slow to appreciate the changed relations
since they joined the army. Bryan Is not q
strict disciplinarian, though he appreciated the
ridiculous features of the situation. He took

NEW ouICK-F1RE NATA1 GUN.
Remarkable Results Obtained with n Rife
DeYeloped in England.

Developed IN HnBlonu.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-British naval ord
nance experts have developed . gun which for
rapidity OF fire exoels any OF its type and class
so far known. The rife Is Of o-inch calibre.
wire wound. and capable Of tremendous pene-
~tration, velocity and %ouickness Of FIRE. Reports
OF experiments conducted with It on the Pitcher
at Portsmouth have been received by the Naval
Intelligence ONlce. and show that the piece
weighs only q little more than seven tons. and
is far lighter and stronger than the old type.
Compared with the old pattern 6-inch rifles
such as are now mounted on the Philadelphia
and some Of the first ships Of the navy. ono OF
the new guns is equal in effectiveness to two Of
them on account Of the improved breech
mechanism which admits Of remarkable rapid
ity OF firing. A single motion opens and closes
the breech. An automatic attachment is fitted
for working the primer so that when the
breech is closed a slide automatically covers
the tube until the plug is locked. and when the
plug IL opened the empty primer is automati-
cally elected. .

"HERBACEoUs PHOTOGRAPHER"
Juices of Certain Fruits to Take the Place
of Nitrate of Silver.

of Nitrate of Silver.
OTTAWA. July 21.-H. N. Toply. OF the De-
partment Of tho Interior In this city. who dis
covered recently a method Of developing mega
tlves without the use OF q dark room. has
discovered that the printing OF photographs is
not dependent on nitrate Of silver. Heretofore
the nitrate has had to be used in all prints. but
Mr.. Toply says that the juices Of certain fruits
are equally as good. If not better than the
nitrate for Photographic printing purposes.
BY means OF this discovery a photograph can
be printed upon anything-wood, pulp, and
paper-which can absorb these juices. The
juice Is not used Just as 1t comes from the fruit.
but II 10 subjected TO a process which Mr..
Toply. of course. desires to keep to himself at
present, He has been engaged in the develop
ment Of the process for Ave years.
His attention was first directed to the pos
sibility Of "herbaceouB photography" as he calls
It, by tho whitening OF the white pine. which
