LONG RANGE GUNS.
Good Lessons Taught Other Nations by
the Boer ArtilIerymen.

Good Lessons Taught Other Nations by
the Boer Artillerymen.
There is an effort being made in
different countries to turn the lesson
of the Anglo-Boer war to profit by
constructing ordinance of increased
range. The Beers got their greater
range not by having superior guns.
but by elevating the muzzle. as the
English found out when the Beers
turned captured English guns upon
them. The English cannon fired as
far as the Boer cannon when the muz-
zle was given equal elevation. But
the point remains that the Beers
taught the world that superior range,
no matter how obtained, gives de-
cided practical advantage. In 1888 an
English 92-inch gun made record
with range of twelve miles. A Krupp
9.45-inch four years later made new
record of twelve and half miles. Re-
Gently there has been talk of Ger
man gun that ranges fifteen miles.
But an American ordnance factory is
preparing a 12-inch gun, 1t is said.
which is to carry shell nineteen
miles. Its length is to be equal to
forty calibers and the 1.050-pound
shell is to have an initial velocity of
5000 feet second. The difficulty in
obtaining extreme ranges lies largely
with the gun carriage. Most gun car
riages permit an elevation of the muz-
zle of but seventeen degrees. whereas
the best possible range of any given
gun requires an elevation Of forty -four
degrees. A larger are of elevation ID
the lesson the Boer artillerists have
enforced. The drawback Of extreme
ranges is the inaccuracy of fire. The
Beers produced a great moral effect
upon the British by landing shells at
distances the British batteries could
not cover, but they seldom made hits.
They were content to demoralize their
foe by subjecting him to a IRE he
could not reply to. At Ladysmith. for
example. there were a few good shots
at extreme ranges. SO that the loss Of
life caused by cannot fire from great
distances was trihing. AS the range
increases the chance Of missing like
wise increases. . very small error In
the aim being multiplied more and
more the farther the shot goes. At
nineteen miles 1t IL hard to believe
that one shot in thousand would hit
an object no bigger than q house.

QUESTION ANSWERED.

Yes, August Flower still has the largest
sale Of any medicine in the civilized
world. Your mothers and grandmothers
never thought Of using anything else for
Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldom heard Of Appen-
dicitis, Nervous Prostration or Heart fail
ure, etc. They used August Flower to
clean out the system and stop fermenta-
tion Of undigested food, regulate the ac-
tion Of the liver, stimulate the nervous
and organic action OF the system, and
that is all they took when feeling dull
and bad with headaches and other aches.
You only need few doses OF Green's Au-
gust Flower, in liquid form, to make you
ter with you. For sale BY l. H. Myers.

Greatness of California.

California has coast line OF more
than 700 miles-a stretch of ocean
front that would reach from Boston
to Carolina. 1t has an average breadth
of 200 miles, which gives 1t an area OF
considerably over 1oO,o00.000 acres. or
about the combined extent of all New
England, New York, and Pennsylvania.
Within these borders there are various
kinds of climate, marvellous diversities
of soil and products and conditions
that excite interest and wonder. The
census of this year shows that the state
has increased rapidly in population;
that 1t has taken higher rank in the
value of agricultural crops; that 1t is
first in vine culture, and that 1t has
made most astonishing progress in
manufactures. Saturday Evening

BLACK STONE w MAN.
Paganism Worshiped In .
Christian Country.

Relic of Paganism worshiped In =
Christian Country.
Even false religions die hard. and
there are reminders of all extinct
faiths still existing in the world. One
OF the most curious relics of paganism
which is still worshiped in Christian
country Is the gigantic black stone
hgure OF woman. which is to be
found in forest in the district of
Morbihan. in Brittany. 1t is known
as the Black Venus" but probably
dates far back of the time when the
Greeks and Romans worshiped that
goddess. Antiquarians assert that
this ugly idol belongs to the age of
serpent worshipers, one of whose sub
terranean temples is in the neighbor-l
hood. This would make the figure far
older than the Christian era. The
statue is that of huge. uncouth wom-
an. with sullen. angry countenance,
her form enveloped in a loose mantle,
The superstitious Bretons have always
worshiped the figure, asserting that it
has power over the weather and the
crops. If the idol is neglected they
deeIire that the grain dies on the ear,
and II the anger OF the Black Woman
is farther reused. tidal wave sweeps
over Morbihan. Twice the stone was
cast into the sea by pious folk, who
hoped thereby to put an end to this
idolatry, and twice the peasants
dragged it back and set up an altar be-
fore it. About two centuries ago
Count Pierre de Lannion, on whose es-
tate the figure stood. in order to save
the statue from both friends and enc
mics. dragged 1t by forty yoke of oxen
to his own chateau and set it up in
the courtyard. He cut an inscription
on the base Of the pedestal, declaring
the figure to be Venus carved by
Caosar's soldiers. The count and his
chateau are both gone, the huge Black
Woman. overgrown with moss. still
stands in the forest. and the peasants
still beseech her to bless their crops.
