the objects of the Rev. Gerhard Ras-

also hopes to secure tire original bap-

Of the freight train were injured by
jumping when they saw the impend-

1t is a rather singular coincidence
that a small and peaceful country like
Norway should have produced SO
many Of the best types Of modern
army rifles, says Skandineven. The
first breechlOading rifle used by any
army was invented by a Norwegian
. and was adopted by the Norwegian
army as early as 1S49. The United
States army rifle is a Norwegian in
vention, being the result of the com
bined efforts of Col. Krag, supcrin-
tendent Of the government gun FAC
tory at Kongsberg. and Mr.. Jorgensen,
n gunsn.ith employed in the factory.
Since then two new rifles have been
invented in Norway, both of which
have attracted considerable attention.
at home and abroad. One Of the new
weapons, the Fidje rife. has, it is re-
ported. been submitted to Il series OF
tests in England with Il view to it's
possible adoption by the English army
The other, known as the Bjorgum rife,
has been accepted for trial by the
French government.
The experiments with this gun are
not concluded. but appear to have
been very promising thus far, Judging
from Il recent dispatch from Paris,
saying in part:
cit was announced in the chamber
to-day that the war department was
experimenting with a rifle which
would be perfected in a month or two,
and world he the best so far produced
in any country, and as Il consequence
a great improvement OIL the present
French army gun. The statement is
significant. since the present gun is
considered an excellent weapon in
warfare"
1t is said that the excellency Of his
rifle is due mainly to the extreme sim
plicity of its mechanism, which con-
Sis,s of only three or four parts.
