An incident told by the Rev. V. B
Carroll in the November Homiletit
Review makes apparent the necessity
In this transition period. OF getting the
negro inwardly right in order that his
relationship to society may be right.
We were driving out one Sunday
from Decatur when We came upon a
negro, with a club In his hand and
freshly killed possum on his shoulder
We stopped to examine the prize. and
the colonel said:
My friend, do you know 1t is Sun
day."
"Sartin. boss"
Are you not religious man."
Il are. Use jist on my way home
from church"
And what sort of religion have you
got that permits you to go hunting on
Sunday"
Religion? religion" queried the
man. as he held the possum up with
one hand and scratched his head with
the other. Does you 'spect any black
man in Alabama is gwine to tie hissel!
up to any religion dat lows possum
to walk right across the road ahead OF
him an git away free? No, sab! A
religion which won't bend little
when fat possum heads you on could
MT be established round yere by all the
preachers in de univarse."

Significant Event.

An unwonted event took place n
New York harbor lately. A great
steamship. belonging to the United
States government. had been trans
formed into a model troop ship that 1t
might be used permanently as mill
tary transport II was laden heavily
with soldiers of the regular army. who
were to be carried by 1t to the Medi-
terranean sea en- route to the Philip
pine islands.
This ship-renamed the Grant-bore,
besides eighteen hundred troops and
crew. Gen Lawton and stan OF Off
GERS. Before she left on her long
ocean voyage she steamed up the
North river to point opposite the
tomb OF Gen. Grant There she fired
salute OF twenty-one guns. and ner
bands slowly and solemnly played the
national anthem.
No circumstance of pomp, no empha-
sis of official recognition. were omitted
in the dispatch OF this ship. The sec
retary OF war stood on her deck when
she fred her farewell guns at the base
of the great generals tomb The SOL
diers were in uniform as on dress pa
rade. and the huge ship and its crowd
ed decks was an impressive represen-
tative of national power No. with
out similar ostentation is she to steam
over waters once plowed by the gal
leys OF Roman and Carthaginian SOL

which to Are salutes and exact them in
return. Her Significance is not to es-
cape observation.
Behind her on the great highruat
around the earth follow two more
ships Of like character. the Sherman
and the Sheridan. both model trans
ports. each bearing. as she does. nearly
two thousand American soldiers. aud
guns to awaken the echoes Of the Mel
iterranean and the Red Seas.
These evenA are not merely naval
episodes. They are the forerunners O.

Modern fi.id ARTILLERY.


To obtain good effect at ranges oil
considerably over a mile guns must
not only be carefully laid and fuses
adjusted with precision, but the dis
tance to the target must have been
gauged and established by series OF
trial shots The mere discharge oil
many shells in a given direction VIII
not yield harvest, and the expcn-
dlture OF every shell is a matter for
consideration. Gun ammunition is so
heavy and bulky that its supply is
not an easy problem. The gunner,
however rapidly his weapon may be
able to shoot. must always. therefore.
be circumspect az TO how he ayails
himself OF It's powers. and when he Is
engaged In the morning will have an
eye to the evening or to the next day.
We shall not therefore, in all probabil-
ity. witness tremendous outbursts of
fire. except at rare intervals, and the
artillery engagement in its early
stages will proceed in great measure
much as usual, whether quick firing
guns are In use or not.
But difficulty even greater than
ammun!tion-supply hampers the intro
duction of the new weapons. To de-
yeiop their full powers 1t is essential
that recoil be all but completely elm
mated. 1t is perfectly feasible to do
this on board ship, even II violent
strains are thus thrown on the whole
fabric OF the smaller vessels. A man
can fire what on shore would be
classed as a field gun by means OF n
shoulder piece 1ust ms he would n
rifle. He can keep his eye close up to
the sight, can follow his target, and
choose his own time 10 fire almost as
though he handled a little Maxim
The conditions are widely different for
the gunner on shore. He cannot
screw field gun to the earth, and
some device must be adopted to obtain
some measure OF stability for II.
Therefore the new guns are equipped
with spades under the carriage. which
dig deeply into the soil ut the first dis
charge. II they dig deeply enough
the backward movement OF the car
riage can be arrested. but a host OF
other evils are promptly called into
life. The whole system is strained
and Jared, and the strength of every
rivet tested. Some means of alleviat-
ing the violent shock has to be sought.
and when 1t is discovered 1t means
extra weight. To do with fewer shells
or lighter carriages Is impossible, or
nearly so. and thus mobility suffers.
Such are the troubles that beset gun
constructor. but there are many more
besides. which being somewhat tech
nical. need not here be discussed We
indicate these things not to disparage
qulck-fring guns. but to place before
our readers some notion OF the con-
siderations which govern the problem.
