"ne IaIIO IOWaru nlgner eHecJlyeneSS is double. It not only adds to the war efficiency of the soldier, but it enables him to carry smaller weight of am- intuition to render the same service
 Some experts are of the belief that the best marksmen fail to render good &C., counts of themselves in battle, owing to the inevitable nervousness of men un- der fire. The absolutely cool soldier is really the exception rather than the rule. An Englishman has just devised an instrument which is intended to re- duce this nervousness to a minimum, to enable the soldier to fire his gun from behind a protecting bank actually without exposing any portion of his per
 son to the vision of the enemy. It is an arrangement of mirrors which en- ables him accurately to aim his gun from below the edge of the breastw@rk or parapet. An army equipped thuab and firing from behind intrenchments against a foe not so equipped, would have an immense advantage. in point of both security and accuracy of fire. For the hyposcope, as 1t is called, reassures the marksman and improves his aim. 1t is believed that with it an army could make far better score than one hit in 1000. The tendency of all advances toward greater precision in warfare is

MAKING WAR MORE DEADLY.
Effective Implements of Destruction Designed and Perfected by
 Modern Inventors.

1t is customary nowadays, when speaking or writing of the progress of war machines. to refer to "arms of pre- cision" as contrasted with the weapons of earlier times. Thus, the modern small arm is regarded as an exception ally effective implement of destruction, with its fatter trajectory, its higher power, it's greater range and its greater penetrative force than the old smooth bore musket. All this is true, says the Washington Star, and it is furthermore true that the smokeless powder has add ed tremendously to the effectiveness of She modern warrior. But notwith- standing these facts, an unconscionable amount of ammunition is wasted in combat. Statisticians have figured out that only about one bullet in 1000 was effective in the Boer war. This indi- cates either very bad craftsmanship or the interpretation of natural obstacles to successful firing. The object of war military leaders. of course. it to reduce the waste, to increase the wounding power of the soldier. Every gain in

Gambling on Liners.

1t is quite true, as stated in the New York papers, that hardly a week, and certainly not month, passes that some gambling scandal on 8 liner does not find it's way into the newspapers. That card sharpers are constantly voyaging back and forth in search of the unwary has long been beyond dispute. On many ships, as on the Kaiser Wilhelm IT., there are warning signs in the smok- ing rooms. Occasionally, and quite ex- ceptionally, the officers of ship have felt called upon to interfere. But they do not often enough, and, as the Even ing Post says, the question why open gambling should be allowed at all has never been properly answered. Pool selling on the days run has become regular pastime without protest But ought the smoking room of steamer always to be the scene of open gambling any more than the smoking car of a Chicago or California train2

It is filled with historical matter relating to the town, the city municipal corpor- ation, it's public institutions, some pri- vate corporations. and many biograph- ical sketches of individuals. In many cases these are illustrated by pictures. It is paper involving a good deal of work which has been conscientiously done.

undoubtedly to make war less likely. The more deadly it is in prospect the less eager will nations be to engage in it, and the more willing to settle dis putes by rational means. Obviously, however, the general use of the hypo- scope, by both the attack and the de- fense, would merely increase the money cost of war, inasmuch as the conceal ment of the marksmen on both sides would nullify the initial advantage of the side first employing the device. War would then become, as regards the marksmanship of individual rifiemen, futile process. Thus if the hyposcope is to be universally adopted the result must be the higher development of ar tillery and resort to long-range fight ing.
