Some of the problems of war which
seem new are in reality old. For ex-
ample, the South African Beers have
been most successful in concealing the
positions of their guns until the Brit
ish battalions were exposed to destruc-
tive fire. They have adopted a device
for defensive operations in the field,
which is the chief motive Of all the
great coast and frontier Notifications.
Visitors at Halifax, Dover or Gibraltar
are only allowed to see the parade
grounds and barracks. The secrets OF
the fortresses are not disclosed. There
are guns of long range, which are con-
cealed by terraces Of grass or by OBJ
structions of various kinds In time
OF war these hidden guns would sud
denly be brought to bear upon an
enemy's fleet.

A bridge in the form of an aerial
ferry has just been opened at Rouen
on the river Seine. In order to avoid
interference with shipping, it was
determined to place no structure in the
stream, or near its surface. Instead Of
a bridge in any of the ordinary forms,
a horizontal flooring, sustained by
steel towers and suspension cables,
was stretched across the river at an
elevation Of 167 feet. On this flooring
run electrically driven rollers, from
which is suspended, by means of 7taei
ropes, a car which moves at the level
of the wharves on the river banks.
The car is thirty-six feet wide and for
ty-two feet long, and is furnished, like
a ferry boat, with accommodates for
carriages and foot passengers. The
ropes that carry the hanging car are
interlaced diagopally in such a man
ner that the support is rigid, and a
swinging motion is avoided

The meridian Of Greenwich is gener-
ally accepted as the starting-line from
which to reckon longitude and time all
over the earth. But objections are,
from time to time raised against the
universal adoption of the Greenwich
meridian for such purposes. Recently
Italian savants have emphasized these
objections by pointing out that on the
meridian of Greenwich clouds and bad
weather are frequent, interfering with
astronomical observations. They sug-
gest that the civilized world should
agree to adopt the meridian of Jerusa-
lem as a common reference line, be-
cause there the skies are clearer and
the possibility Of making Palestine
neutral territory would eliminate pol
iticaI objections.

SANTA Re FRUIT.
1t Is the Best in the World-A Hint to
Healthseekers.

d6alGnS66K6IS.
Hon. Amado Chaves today brought to
the New Mexican office a few samples of
superb cherries and currants. He says
that the great mistake made by amateur
fruit growers is in too much experiment
ing. Most of them lose years of yalu-
able time and lots of work that could all
be avoided. The first thing a man
ought to do who intends to plant an or
chard in Santa Fe is to go to the old or
chards and ascertain what varieties of
fruit do we'll here and take advantage
of the experience of those who have
been in the business for years. 1t is
better to plant only a few varieties that
are known to do well than to expert
ment with dozens of fancy varieties that
may cause great disappointment. These
samples of cherries are the Yellow
Spanish, Windsor, Black Tartarian, and
Napoleon, and Fay's Prolific currants.
There are thousands of acres in this i'm
mediate neighborhood that al produce
Just such fruit. Many who would
start an orchard are discouraged at the
start for the lack of water. If they
only knew hat Il very little water n
a good deal of cultivation will produce
grand results many would take up land
which can 10 be had free from Uncle
Sam and start a most protita bic business.
The time is very near at hand when
there will not be any more choice pub
lie land to take up. The school land
commission is selecting a few million
acres for the schools and numerous set
tiers are locating homesteads in every
county. Right around Santa Fe there
is plenty of good land that can be had
for the taking up and upon which water
can be developed with little labor and
little expense. This is an opportunity
for health-seekers which is too often
neglected.
