An innovation has beeS introduced in
the French artillery service by the de-
cision to furnish the guns with smoke
shell. Hitherto the cannon had been
provided with melinite and shrapnel
shells only. This new shell is intended
to be launched at an opponents artillery
which, on bursting, it will envelope in
a dense cloud of smoke, thus hampering
the return fire. The new shell is the out
come of the introduction Of smokeless
powder. Formerly with the old powder
the result now aimed at was brought
about by the guns themselves, the firing
of which produced smoke which blinded
their own gunners. Experiments show
that this invention creates sort Of
veil before the enemy's artillery. Both
the army and the navy will be supplied
with these shells.
The date of inauguration Of the Amer

is now definitely fixed for Saturday.
The internal arrangement of the pa

OF TO some artistic exhibits, character
istic Of their respective countries.
The American building, on the con-
trary, will be given up to administrative
and reception purposes, the idea being
to have sort of club where Americans
may fraternize and secure information.

The movement of the hop growers
to train only one or two vines in the
hills is good one. It will make q

and there will be less money paid out
for picking and more coming per pound
for the crop in the bale. II all poor
grades Of Oregon hops could be elimi-
mated it would be good thing for Ore.
