from overhead pipes in the basement.
The arrangements for Christmas enter

The Methodist church Of Mt. Olivet,

the week eight people were strangely
stricken in the church, some laid TO.
hours in cataleptic state. The revival
was held by the Rev. Poiht, the regular
pastor of the church, and it was largely

intense when on the first night young
lady suddenly fell and remained APP

During the entire revival six ladies and

Economical Training of Gunners.

Economical Training of Gunners.
The method used in the United States
navy for the economical training of the
gunners is very interesting. 1t is a
well known fact that the cost of firing
one of the large guns used in the navy
is very great, amounting sometimes to
$1,000 or more. To save this expense
a very simple method is employed. In
the case of the large guns an ordinary
Remington rife is secured lib the Sgeech
of the gun and directly in the center
of the bore, so that when it is fired it's
bullet takes the same direction Sthat
of the regular projectile. The Aarse
gun is sighted in the usual manher.
On account of the lesser velocity Of the
small bullet the target is pleced close
to the ship and is made corresponding
ly small. 1
The method used for the 6 FOUNDER
or other small guns is slightly differ
emf. as instead Of the small rifle a
wooden or dummy cartridge the same
size as the regular cartridge is en-
ployed. Through the center of this
wooden cartridge runs a rifle barrel
which is loaded with "A caliber ear,
fridge. This latter method has the ad-
ditional advantage Of giving the gun
crew practice in loading as well as fir
