I'm hid to n1arksmansbip

An instrument which will enable the
soldier to tell how far away the enemy
is at whom he wants to shoot is a
very useful thing. The elevation of
his gun in aiming is controlled by the
distance. In a practice range a man
knows what the interval is between
himself and the target, and governs
himself accordingly. But in the field,
in actual warfare, 1t is pretty much
guesswork. For neavy ordnance either
on shipboard or liz coast defences,
range finders have been common for
several years. The need of apparatus
that will perform the same service for
infantry had not been well met until
recently. There has been, to be sure,
the "mekometer" of the British army.
This consists of a piece of string fifty
feet long, and having various devices
and a man at each end. But Professor
George Forbes, an Englishman,
thought that he could improve greatly
on it, and tried last year. He let the
public know a little about it early in
the winter, went to South Africa a lit
tie later to try it, and recently he told
the United Service Institution in Lon
don the result of his task.
The Forbes range finder is much
simpler than the "mekometer," and
can be manipulated by one man. who
is himself shielded from the enemy's
fire. There is a light staff or rod six
feet long, jointed in the middle, so
that it can be folded up when not in
use. The rod is held horizontally and
at right angles with the direction in
which the man is looking-that is,
crosswise in front of his face. At each
end is small prism which catches an
image of the enemy, reflects it along
the rod to the middle, where another
prism bends it again, and sends it into
one barrel of a big field glass. There
are two prisms at the middle Of the
rod. Each barrel receives a different
image.
A certain amount of adjustment is
necessary in order to secure good,
sharp image. That adjustment is ef-
fected with a screw having an enor-
nous fiat head which is subdivided

without doing any harm. The device
could be manipulated so quickly that
it was possible to get the range with
it while other men were making their
preparations to use the "mekometer."
Besides, every person OF ordinary in
telligence could learn in a few minutes
how to operate the new instrument.

Racial TeMds

(Berlin letter to the London Leader)
Hardly a day passes but the news
papers contain striking evidence of the
antagonistic spirit which Is being en-
gendered between the Poles and the
Prussians.
Last week Ii came to the ears of
the publishers of Polish paper cir.
culating In Westphalia that one of
their compositors was about to marry
German girl. They considered that
this stamped him as a traitor to Po-
land, and although he had served them
faithfully for many years they dis
missed him on the SPOT.
A large number of Poles work In the
Westphalian coal mines, and in order
to further the amalgamation of the
races the authorities have issued reg
ulations to the effect that no person
shall be employed underground who
Is not proficient in the German lang
uage. The Poles obstinately refuse to
know a word of German when they
happen to be called up to make state
ments in public.
A few days ago Polish miner had
to give evidence in a Westphalian po-
lice court. He was of course, as inno-
cent as a newly born babe of any
knowledge of German until the magis-
trate threatened to report the case to
his employers, who would have been
compelled to dismiss him. Thereupon
his German came back. and he replied
fiuently to all the question put to him.
His wife had been present during
the hearing of the case, and was wait
ing for him in the passage just out
side the court room door. AS soon as
he appeared she bitterly reproached
him for having given away. and to
render her arguments more forcible
soundly boxed his ears. She then
kicked him with such vigor that he had
to race down the corridor into the
street to escape the attentions of his
patriotic better half.

like a scale. The device Is known as
a ''micrometer screw" and is COM
monty attached to microscopes for fine
focusing and to telescopes for measur-
Ing angles. On the Forbes range finder
one can determine the distance of the
enemy by noting the position of the
micrOmeter screw when he has OBJ
tanned a perfect focus. Near the
graduated periphery of the screw head
Is a stationary index with a sharp
point, and the numbers extend around
the entire circle. Rotation, therefore,
changes the number opposite the in
dex.
To assist the eye in focusing, Pro-
fessor Forbes puts into each barrel of
his field glass, where il will not OBJ
struct the view too much, a transparent
photograph Of a balloon with a short
tail rope. II the centres of the two
barrels are exactly in line with the GEN.
tres of the pupils, the two images will
coalesce and appear as one, and the
balloon will seem to be suspended in
midair. One photograph can be shifted
sideways with a micrometer screw. 1t
can be pushed inward toward the other
barrel or withdrawn. This lateral mo-
ton makes the balloon seem to move
toward or away from the observer.
When the tail rope is thus made to
hang directly over the column of troops
or the tent on which the instrument
is trained the focus is perfect and the
scale may be read off. Professor
Forbes declares that he found 1t easy
to get within per cent of the actual
distance by means Of his range finder.

both elbows on the earth and holding
the staff up before the face at height

must be thrown back a little in order
to look into the field glass. Since the
images Of the enemy are picked up
by the prisms, out at the end of the
rod, and inasmuch as these are six
feet apart, the operators head may be
concealed behind a tree or boulder.
Professor Forbes rode about for a
week with the troops, and carried the
range finder with him. At night it
was left with the saddle. On one oc-
casion his horse rolled over it, but

EASTERN VIEWS OF REVISION.

While the presidential party was rid
ing over Lake Champlain q few days
ago it stopped at the summer home OF
Representative Sibley, of Pennsylva-
MIA, republican who comes from a
strong protection state. Representa-
tive Sibley talked freely about the pos
sibility of tariff revision and favored
the formation of tariff commission, so
that the question could to some extent
be taken out of politics.
There is no tariff in the world abso
lutely perfect" he said. ours should
be altered wherever it permits mo-
nopoly. The way to solve the tariff
question is to eliminate it from politics.

watch the tariff, with the members en-.
powered to raise the schedules when
they permit an invasion of certain mar
kets by foreign countries, and reduce T.
when manufacturers are able to run

immediate adjustments. This is the
only way to handle it. Then neither
farmer nor business man in any quar-
ter of the country will suffer unjustly.
ANY attempt to revise the tariff will
upset business beyond any doubt. and
1t is better that certain classes of citi-
zens should suffer theoretically than to
paralyze general business. Talk of tar

but it can not be done satisfactorily ex-

probably never have. because the ques-
ton is too much disputed in politics"
Senator Proctor, of Vermont, who has
been with the president since Friday.
SAYS that he is in favor of tariff revis-
ion from high protective point of
view, and would like to see congress
take hold of the question as soon as
possible. On the other hand, among
New England business men the general
opinion is that it would be better to
leave the tariff alone than to jeopardize
business interests by an attempt at re-
vision.
1t will be seen that there is a division
of opinion on revision in the cast, the
strongest supporter of protection. as
we'll as in the west.

The Main Question.
TShenandoah Sentinel.1

The sensible voter will not lose sigh
lof the main question in making up his
1inind how to vote this fall. The malr
question is whether he is better off UNI
der the republican system of govern
ment than he would be under a demo
cratic system.
/ To us it looks like there can be but
one answer to this question. The
system /; few years and they did not
like it. They thought they were not
we'll oft and so they changed parties
and put in the republicans and they
fare certainly better off than they were.
There is more work for those VINO want
Ito work. bigger and better market
and higher prices for those who have
something to sell and people generally
have fuller stonlachs and better clothes
and more money TO spend for luNuries
than they had when the democratic
system was in operation. Farms are
worth more, business is brisker and
there is more money on deposit in the
banks. Isn't that so?
"Oh, but those horrid trusts" Well,
for our part, we would rather take the
trusts along with Il full stomach than
to go hungry and have no trusts. The
trusts are bad, but they are not as bad
as poverty and business stagnation.
The trusts are like the weeds in the
corntield, pretty hard to get rid Of, but
we are not in favor of plowing the corn
and all under to get rid of the weeds.
The republicans are taking up the trust
question in earnest and will find some
way to curtail the power of the trusts
without destroying the prosperity of
the country. President Roosevelt is
showing himself an enemy of the trusts
and he will fight them vigorously and
will be backed by the people.
But whatever your idea of the best
method of dealing with the trusts do
not forget the main question-your own
stomach and your own pocketbook.
Keep your own business going, trust or
no fruSt
