ton of help furnished from the land, the
guns and mortars attract more attention
than any other inventions of this char
acter.
The most remarkable inventions along
these lines is a u designed to fire a
boat with a man in it. The boat Is ca
noe-shaped. and the man, enveloped in
an elastic afr-sack, lies down In it, with
a tarpaulin cover fastened to his waist.
his feet toward the stern. Around him is
all of which tends to make him, as it
We're, a part of the little craft in which
he is SO snugly esconced. Pop! goes the
gun, which is shot off with compressed
air. and the boat is fired farout over the
ocean towards the vessel in distress.
In firing a line from shore it is always
difficult to get 1T just over the ship in
distress. To obviate this trouble M. Del
vigne, the French builder. has invented
a gun that fires from the ship to the
shore. In this device the lines are at
tached to arrows, which are fired from a
small gun, and the line runs out un-
checked until the arrow is stopped.
Such, in brief, are a few of the inven-
tons of the past so years. and at the
present time there are enough of them in
good working order to rob an ocean vow
age of much of it's terrors. Given a few
such prizes as that of Mr.. Pollok, how
ever, and the improvements of another
century would all be accomplished within
the short space of a few years.

not it is one that will attract attention
from one end of the world to the other.
According to his theory the lessening of
the cost of living benefits not the work
ingman, but his employer or landlord.
He believes that as soon as the worker'
expenses are so reduced that he can save
a little, his landlord, alert to seize the
slightest opportunity, raises his rent. Dr.
the employer, seeing that he nan can
live on less, lowers his wages. All this
being due to the fact that wages always
remain at the point at which life can be
maintained and it's necessary expenses
met.

CHINESE TROOPS TO Be ORGANIZED
SERIOUS EFFORTS NOW BEING MADE TO IMPROVE THE CON-
DITl0N OF THE CHINESE ARMY.

For the, first time in the history Of the
empire China is to have an army. For
thousands of years men have lived and
died in the Celestial kingdom. From
time to time they have entered upon
wars and have fought battles with other
nations and until recent times they have
been victorious. Race upon race has felt
the might of China n has succumbed
10 it's uperior force so that. until a few
years ago, the Chinese felt that they
were a people who could know no defeat.
Suddenly, however, they were brought
into touch with civilization and it was
then that they discovered that the world
had moved on and had left them far be-
hind. Several times they were forced to
defend themselves and always with Sc
rious consequences and finally the mat
ter was X up for sober consideration.
h Chinese are a peculiar people.
They are slow in t~headoption of inno-
vatiOns, but the m ia who sets them
dow as a nation of fools has %misjudged
his people. Long before the world at

nent officials of China have been urging
the necessity of this move upon the EN-
press. They have presented evidences
to show that there is scarcely a nation
in the world that is SO porly equipped
for warfare, and that there are no coun-
tries in which the sOldiens are so poorly
fitted for the services that they are sup
posed to be always ready to perform. In
fact they have painted the most dismal
picture of China's helplessness and they
have finally persuaded the woman in
power to pay heed to their remarks. AS
the s the first steps have actually
been taken and, If nothing comes for
ward to prevent the completion of the
work, 1t viii not be man, years before
China will have a military force that

pie MATTER, for the Chinese have never
yet learned the use of modern firearms
and they have never fought a battle in
accordance with modern bethods. When

large realized that China was not in a
fit condition to be pitted against the 9TH
err great nations the military leaders of
the country knew that there We're trou-
bles upon this score that might well be
anticipated. In a measure they attempt
ed to prevent these occurrences and did
every thing in their power to offset the
results that they knew to be almost in
evitable.
In spiteof all this, however, there was
really nothing that could be DONE. Some
few changes might be made. but they
were of an unimportant character and
would have but little effect upon the
army. What was needed was a COM
plete reorganization of the national
forces and to accomplish this the consent

not dissimilar to those that the English
themselves had used more than 200 years
before. TO reven their bows and arrows
were more effective han their primitive
firearms.
Whatever nay be said in relation to
the equipment of the Chinese army,
however, there is one charge tina can
not be brought against it. It certainly is
most picturesque. The banners tina they
are still carrying bear representations of
green dragons and other creatures of ter
ible appearance.
In the latest war it was also customary
for the soldiers to carry huge umbrellas
aand many of the soldiers also had COL
Ored pendants attached to their persons,
Their shields were also painted in the
brightest colors and with pictures of the
most alarming things that man could
imagine, and, with these before them and

their umbrellas over them they went into
battle with q tremendous beating OF
gongs n shoJtings. In fact, they seem
ed to think that the more noise they
made the more chance there would be of
striking terror to the heart Of the enemy.
DUMMY ARAMENT.
While the equipment Of the Chinese
army has been out Of date 50 long that
the word ~"antiquated' ceases to describe
1t, the methods Of warfare followed are
even more ridiculous. For instance, il
was not long ago THAT they attempted
to bar one of their rivers with a make
believe steamer, having a funnel and
smoke but no engine, and, on another
occasion, a huge fort was armored with
wooden cannon of tremendous calibre,
which could not, Of course, be fired. In
other words. up to within a comparative
ly short time the Chinese army has beer
nothing more or less than a medieval
organization. For centuries match-locks,
g1ngals, bows and arrows, spears and
Lances have been its only weapons
If this fact Is remembered the Chinese
army Is almost unrecognizable today.
Many bodies of the troops have already
been drilled and armed in European
fashion and they have been fully in
structed as to the use of the foreign army
with which they have been supplied.
Day after day the work of drilling is
DNAo "a HAAA la STU
dies are pursued under the instruction
of European military men so that it is to
be expected that the force will do more
to distinguish itself yon the occasion Of
it's next conflict.
At present the Chinese army contains
1,Ooo infantry that are supplied with
modern equipments; 500 cavalry, arm
ed with light rifles, revolvers and swords
LOCO artillerymen, serving 40 field guns,
and 500 men connected with the engin-
eering department. There are also about
5000 camp followers, every ten soldiers
being allowed a cook and two other SER
wants, While officers are allowed a still
larger number
RED CROSS IN c HINA.
One of the greatest innovations in the
Chinese army is the Red Cross flag that
now floats over the headquarters of the
ambulance corps. The army now has a
gully equipped hospital, which is in
charge of -four native physicians who
would be a credit to any nation. An
other thing that lis surprising about his
army is that there are so few important
positions held by foreigners.
From n end of the official force to
the other there are scarcely more than a
dozen foreigners who hold more than
unimportant positions. There is, for in
stance, a Portuguese bandmaster, a Bel
gian tactician, a German pontoon bridge
builder; a German artillery instructor for
certain German guns; a Norwegian cav
ally dill-master n a Chinese-speaking
German, whose duties are somewhat
general.
In nearly every instance the infantry
n artillery drill are now under Chinese
supervision and diection and the estab-
lishnent of a military school at Tien
Tsin, the only military school in the
country, will supply the army with COM
petent men asethey are needed. In fact,
the outlook for the Chinese army is now
extremely bright and tht fact that the
Empress is taking a personal interest in
these reforms argues well for their sta
bility.

election to be held on the 9th day
of November, the same day of the
general election, for certain purposes;
those purposes were to permit the
people to vote upon the location of
the future seat of State government;
to nominate such State officers as
were to be appointed by the Cover
nor, etc. This primary election is
separate and apart from the general
campaign and there is no way in the
world that the money can be raised
to pay the expenses of the primary
election except by the assessment of
those who expect to be candidates.
The candidates entering the Capitol
contest will pay five thousand dol
lars. The money expected to be
raised from the assessment of the
for State Chemist, Ad-
jutant General, States Attorney,
etc., will probably raise from six
hundred to one thousand dollars

of from five thousand six hundred
