It is q curious fact that with all OF

using cordite. the wonderful smokeless
powder which the English navy has
adopted. The results with.this ship. the
New Orleans, were truly amazing. The
rapidity. accuracy and precision Of her
fire were the admiration of all observers.
Smokeless powder has several advan-
tages. There is no obscuring of the
view. the explosion producing the merest

more desirable. Higher muzzle velocity
is obtained with a p~rojectile. as the
powder burns much more slowly than
the ordinary sort. and. therefore. gen.
crates more gas as the ball travels up to
the mouth OF the gun. The demand for
smokeless powder seems to be one Of the
imperatives Of the immediate future

Around Mt. Rainier.

This mountain is the grandest in the
United states. It is more than $4,000
feet high, is covered with ice and snow,
has beautiful parks and noble forests
at it's base, and is much frequented by
camping p6rties, tourists and noun
tain climbers.
Some years ago the Northern Pacific
fitted out a party that assembled the
mountain to its highest point. An
article in Wonderland 98 describes
some experiences of the party in camp
life in Paradise Park. This mountain
trip is sure to become increasingly
popular, especially to those who make
Puget Sound a theatre for vacation
trips, and such will be interested in
this chapter.

VISITING THE CAMPS
The Usual Sunday Crowds Throng the
Cities of Tents

WASHINGTON. Aug. MANY people
from Washington and the surrounding
country journeyed out to Camps Alger and
Dunn Loring today to take a final look at
the regiments of the First division, which
are SO soon to leave those places for Man
assas, where the new camp is to be located.
The weather was again very hot and the
roads were dusty.
There is very little news from camp and
all the men are looking forward eagerly
to the proposed movement, which they
feel Is now but short time ahead. A de-
tachment Of yellow fever immunes will
leave camp tomorrow for New York city,
where they will go aboard of the govern
ment transports for Porto Rico.
Gen. Davis second division of the corps,
originally stationed at Camp Alger, has
now advanced four miles beyond Manassas
to Bristow. In this locality the expectation
was that a permanent camp would be To-
Gated, but this may have to be changed.
as investigation of the country shows a
great scarcity of water. If the camp Is To-
Gated at Bristow, many artesian wells will
have to be sunk to supply the demand.
There were a few heat prostrations as a
result of the hard marching. but. 80 far as
ascertained, none Of them are serious.

New Foundland Banks Strewn With
Wrecks-Very Bad Weather

ST. JOHNS, N. F.. August 7-Captain
Major of the steamer Virginia Lake from
Labrador, which arrived to-day, expressed
the belief that some ship certainly had been
sunk in the straits of Belle Isle Reports
to that effect, he says, are current along
the whole northern coast of the island, ba-
sides which a quantity of deals, chees"
boxes and other wreckage has drifted
ashore at Flowers cove, near the scene
of the reported disaster.
Captain Major is surprised that more
wrecks are not reported because the fog
in that region has been the heaviest known
in thirty years, continuing fourteen days.
during which time not a sight of the sun
has been obtained.
On Saturday, July 30. large Allan line
steamer, with 500 passengers aboard, was
almost ashore at Battle Harbor and on
Tuesday last two other liners were In
great danger off Chateau.
The steamer Ipsden is total wreck at
Point Amour owing to the same cause.
