difficult piece of iron work, and had
two helpers. Just behind them, on

ish-white liquor--evidently the corn
whiskey for which the native Georgian
has a peculiar liking. AS my friend
was preparing to take his picture, one
of the helpers caught sight of the bot

dumb show to his companion. The

A New Rife.

At the camp of Chalons the Normal
School of Firing is at present expert
menting with several new rifles lately
invented. one of these is stated to
have proved in every way an efficient
weapon, and in some respects superior
to that now in use, says the London
Telegraph. Its adoption may. IL is
thought, be recommended by the au-
thorities for some of the line regiments.
il rs a magazine repeating rifle, carry
ing five cartridges and OF six millimet-
res and a half calibre. one of its chiee
features is "a new device for feeding the
breech from the magazine. The latter
Is SO constructed as TO render il impos-
sible for an extra cartridge TO slip
and get jammed in the breecn with the
iirst cartridge supplied from the ma
gaZine as sometimes happens in many
of the repeating rifles used in tile
French army. The Daudeteau, as the
new weapon is called, after name OF
the inventor. a major i'm the infantry
Territorial Reserves, was put through
a number of trials. At a distance OF
1000 metres the deviation observed
with the new rifle was only 7.30 metres.
while in the case of the seven and
eight millimetres guns IL averages
from ten TO eighteen metres. Another
advantage of the Weapon Is that the
pressure of the explosion was found not
10 exceed 3 200 kiloggimmes per square
centimetre. while i'm other rifles IL
reaches over 4,0C0 kilogrammes.
Experiments were conducted with a
view TO ascertaining the carrying and
destructive powers of the new rifle.
1t was found that the bullet invariably
disabled horse at $500 y>;ds. In one
case the ball had penetrated the ami
malls forequarters. and had traversed
the entire length of the body. The bull
let produces the same effect as an ex-
plosive missile, smashing and splinter
ing the bones and inficting the dead

French Canadians Rapid Increase

French Canadians in the province OF
Quebec are increasing in number at a
rate that is singularly gratifying to not
only the Dominion Government, but To
the British Government as we'll. says
a correspondent OF the Chicago Times
Herald. Last year the birth rate In
the province was 1857 a thousand
this against rate OF 2o.9 in Ontario
and 2o.2 in France. While the French
in Canada are rapidly multiplying
their numbers. the population OF France
itself is steadily decreasing. though
slowly.
Causes OF this fact are various. In
France the small landowners does not
beget family larger than his agri-
cultural possessions will support Econ
