Fl..hle.. R.pid.Fire aun..

1t is reported that the new French
rapid-fre gun invented by Colonel
Hubert, gives no fash or sign Of fire.
If this be true, the French have made
an advance In artillery second only in
importance to that which marked the
introduction by them of smokeless
powder. In the operations around
Santiago the only means by which our
men could locate the position Of an en-
emy's piece was the fash. II this
should be removed the art of war, es-
pecially on land, will become more diff
ficult than ever, for h masked battery
of smokeless and fashless guns would
be positively undiscOverable The only
description of the gun that has come
to hand is rather obscure, but it would
seem that an attempt is made to cool
the larger portion of the gases below
the fash point before they are allowed
to reach the open air. The rate of fire
has reached a maximum Of twenty
shots per minute. To accommodate
the increased expenditure Of ammuni-
ton it is proposed to reduce a single
battery from five to four guns and in
crease the number Of ammunition
wagons.

registered sixteen pounds. 1t was

dragged from the Dawson sawmill by

hillsides seemed as bare as the palm

from top to bottom, showing where fire

the drifts had been slid down.
II you descended by the ladders into

1t is dogged work to build fires day

bucketful after bucketful, by means of
a windlass. with the thermometer 40

one spot of three or four square feet
the nuggets are SO thick that you can
pick them out by hand as a farmers
