sUBCALIBRE GUN A SUCCESS.
GENERAL MILES SAYS THE
TESTS AT SANDY HOOK ARE
SATISFACTORY

The Board of Ordinance and Fertilization
headed by Lieutenant-General Miles went to
Sandy Hook yesterday to test the sub-calibre
tubes fuses and a plotting board invented by
Captain Philips.
General Miles said last night that the tests
were very satisfactory. The test of the sub
type and the size and the number which may
be needed.
The sub-caIibre tube is device which may be
placed inside the high power guns, guns from q
inches UP. for practice purposes The expense
involved in the firing of large guns is so great
that the government cannot have them used
for practice with the regulation charges. The
firing of single shot from one of the largest
guns costs hundreds of dollars. By means of
inner tube the calibre is temporarily re-
duced. so that three-pound shot may be fred.
By means of the sub-calbre 1t is possible to pro-
vide for frequent practice in aiming and In
handling the loading and firing mechanism All
the batteries along the Atlantic, Gulf and Pa
cifc coasts will be furnished with these tubes
The board finished it's duties last night and
some OF the members went to Washington.
General Miles will remain here until to-nlor-
row. He is stopping at the Union League Club.
The other members of the board were Briea-
der General John NJ. Wilson, Brigadier-C General
A. r. Burlington. Colonel John T. Rogers, ex-
Representative Thomas j. Henderson, Colonel
Randall, Chief OF Artillery: Colonel Story and
Captain Isaac n. Lewis.
General Miles said that the test Of field guns
which includes the gun made the lines of
the French gun. will probably not be made be-
fore June AT that time several of Arneri-
can and foreign make will be tested ,-'~aa
The big 16-inch gun will not be tested for
some time 1t has not been mounted yet. One
thousand revolvers of a new design have been
purchased for a service test.

which | was a victim. In less than a
month | had entirely broken myself of

young, looked after him with Il warmth
about their hearts and a kindly moisture
in their eyes. They felt he was much
too handsome to be going about unpro-

Notwithstanding that the minister had
greeting for all, his limbs were of such
excellent reach and moved so fast over
the ground that his pace Was rather over
than under four miles an hour. Passing
the thirteen chimneys of the Lang
Raw" he crossed the bridge and bent his
way TO the right along the wide spaces Of
the sluggish river. The old fortress Of
the DouglaSes. the castle of Thrieve,
loomed up behind him through the wayer-
ing heat of the morning. Above him was
the bill of Knock-cann0n, from which
Mons Meg fired her fatal shots. The
young minister stood looking back and
revolving the strange changes of the past.
He saw how the way Of the humble was
exalted. and the lofty brought down

CHAPTER XXXIX.
THE MINISTER'S VISITATION


The sun was glinting slantwise over
the undulating uplands to the east, and
Ben Gairn was blushing a rosy purple,
purer and fainter than the famboyant
hues of sunset. when Rev. Richard Cam
eron looked out of his bedroom window
in the little whitewashcd manse of Carn
Edward. His own favoritc blackbird
had awakened him. and he lay for long
while listening to its mellow fiuting, till
his conscience rcproached him for
lying SO long abed on such morning
Richard Cameron was by nature an early
riser. a gift to thank God for. Many
Sabbath morning he had seen the sun
rise from the ivy-green arbOr in the Sc
Guided garden behind the old white
washed kirk. 1t was his habit to rise
early. and with the notes of his
sermon in his hand 10 memorize,
or mandate them, as is was called,
SO that on Sabbath when the hill folk
gathered calm and slow there might be
no hesitation, and that he might be able
to pray the Camerohan supplicati0n.
And bring the truth premeditated to
ready recollection prayer which no
mere reader" of a discourse would ever
dare to utter. But this was not a morn
ing for 'mandating' with the minister.
Ii was the day of his pastoral visitation.
and il behoOved one who had c0ngrega-
ton scattered over a radius Of more than
twenty miles to be up and doing. Inc

SHELTERS Needed in Canada.

A correspondent to London newspa-
per says that Canada is extraordinarily
rich in iron ores of all kinds. All that
Canada needs is smelters. The Wabana
mines of Newfoundland are famous. and
rich and important deposits of iron ore
exist in Nova Scotia. At Big Island and
the Bras dor lakes are fields Of red
hematite of great extent. Large fields
of hematite and magnetic exist in Guys
boro, Pict0n. Cumberland. Colchester.
Annapolis and Digby counties. Further.
the iron from the deposits of Carleton
county is, according 10 Sir William Fair
bairn, especially adapted for armorplates
The same authority declares that "the
iron from the Canadian red hematitc is
equal to the finest Swedish metal" In
Ontario alone is a territory Of boundlcss
mineral wealth almost as large a. France.
a land whose stones are iron. and out
of whose hills thou mayest dig brass"
In northern Ontario the mineral re-
sources are almost past belief.

A SLUMP IN KRUPP GUNS.
For the First Time in Many Years
Work is Slack at Essen.


1t Will surprise most people to know
that some thousands of workmen have
been dismissed from the great Krupp
gunmaking works 1t has seemed to or
ulnary folk that there is more demand
Tor guns today than ever. Perhaps it is
that Europe has as many guns as she
wants for the great battle that is COM
ing: At any rate for the moment there is
a slump in "Krupps.'
Herr krupp's establishment is one of
the concerns which have thriyed on war
and rumors of war. 1t began, within liv.
ing memory, i'll a small workshop with
Two hands, and it has today between 20
900 and 10000 hands. When the great
battle of the nations comes the great
krupp gun will be there, and of Herr
krupp it will be said then with great
truth that being dead. he speaketh."
Inc hist krupp steel gun is more than
half century old. 1t was tried in
Paris. and with such success that The
last Napoleon wanted 800 Of them at
once. Herr krupp refused the order and
twenty years later his gun played havoc
with the empire of Napoleon, working
with deadly effect at the siege of Paris
Ten years after that event the first 100
ton steel gun was shown at Dusseldorf.
and since then the Krupp works have
never known an idle day. All the world
over the guns have gone. The first big
consignment was to the khcdive of
Egypt
Today there are 25OO0 guns in thirty
four states. all made at Essen. and what
this means, or may one day mean, may
he imagined from the fact that the frs.

nights and days to make. and cost over
