FOR now LONG?

The reports received by the District Attorney
indicate that the professional gamblers VINO
made their headquarters in the Tenderioln as
trict have been driven out of business. These
sharpers know that there are thousands or clti-
zens who are always looking for game ana
that there are other thousands, citizens of other
towns, with whom gambling is part OF the
spree in which they indulge when they come to

lovers of the games of chance other resorts VIII

productive of plunder as they some years

gambler and many of the men who have been
driven out Of their city quarters recently had
already made plans for the summer. when they
will blossom forth in all the splendor pertaining

A curious story comes from Marsees. where the
steamer Vile d'Oran has just arrived from Agiers
A boat had been sent to fetch the doctor OF the
ship. as IT the point of sailing and il had
hardly started It's return journey to the vessel
with him on board. when a tremendous thunder
storm burst the town and the port, the rain
falling In a perfect deluge. The worthy physician
is careful man, and. having prudently brought
an umbrella with him. he opened It, He was max
ing the best of a bad joke. when. owing to a sud
den lurch of the boat. he toppIed into the
sea The sailors. who pulling for all they
were worth. did not notice his disappearance from
the little craft. and II would have gone very hard
with the doctor. who did not know how TO SWIM
If he had not retained his hold his precious
"gngharn-" The umbrella, in fact acted a life
buoy and kept him above water for upward OF
half hour. when. he drifted along. his shouts
attracted the attention of his friends In the Vile
dOran. who had been wondering what had become
or him. the sailors who had come with the boat
having been utterly bewildered when they dis
covered that he not with them. The physi-
clan has to thank his umbrella for his marvellous
escape.

ELECTRICITY on TRUNK LINES.

All authorities on electric traction have for
.aers been in substantial agreement On one
roint They believe that there is greater
economy in frequent service and short runs
than in trains making long runs but dispatched
several hours apart. Hence they argue that IL
will pay TO electricity on urban and SUD-
urban lines: that it is doubtful whether ex-
presses can be advantageously operated with
A. end that the application of it to freight traffic
IS a still more remote possibility. At present
the first and third of these propositions may be
regarded as automatic So far any change
pr conviction is likely to occur in the next few
Sears Il will affect only the second. Theory
and practice in regard TO long distance passen-
ger service may be modified by two influences
There is a steady, though slow, increase In the
number of trains over the principal lines Of the
country. and marked, not TO say revolutionary,
improvements are made in traction methods
from time TO time. 1t is e1pedient, therefore, to
eum up the case afresh every few years and see
whether changed conditions warrant new con-
CIusions.
Alton D. Adams does so IN Casters Maga-
zine" for April the most valuable feature Of his
review being comparison of several different
ways Of driving a train over one hundred miles
OF road from q single power house. If direct
current motors were used on the cars and the
dynamos generated alternating current (as they
would without doubt. 1t would be necessary TO
establish sub-stations at intervals Of five or ten
miles TO perform the double duty OF reducing
Che voltage and converting the current from one
form to the other The cost Of such equipment
entirely apart from that of the conductors,
srculd probably be prohibitive. Even the plan
Followed in Northern Italy, on the Lecco-Chia-
-enna-Sondrio line, is not altogether satisfac-
.ory This is the road which CAM & Co. of
budapest equipped. The car motors are of the
alternating type, and hence the mechanism Tor

employed, though TO bring down the pressure
from 10000 volts to 1900, the former being de-
sIrable for transmission, while something much
lower is needed for the motors. The fault with

NAT4L GENNERY TNPPOTEMENT.

Only a few weeks ago a report issued from
the Navy Department that there had been
marked decline in the efficiency of our naval
cunnery since the close of the Spanish war.
This report it would seem. an incentive to
greater care for only a few days ago there
came a report which showed marked improve
ment in target practice Then on Friday the
worlds record for naval craftsmanship was
lowered by the gunners Of the Indiana in their
practice The 13-inch guns made twelve hits
out Of thirteen shots, the range being five
miles This is an encouraging sign, and it con-
firms the prediction made a few weeks ago,
when the Navy Department appointed board
of ordnance experts to supervise systematic
course of target practice on the ships OF the
North Atlantic Squadron. that the efficiency OF
the gun crews would at once improve.
The record of target practice by the same
squadron last year was not such as TO enable
the navy to say that "our gunners are the best
marksmen afoat" Take the records OF three
of the large battleshps. for instance. The Ala
bama made only fifteen hits out Of hfty-three
shots the Kearsarge only thirteen out Of forty
nine shots. and ont of fifty shots the Msssa-
chusetts made only three hits, the targets be-
ing fifty feet long by sixteen feet high, at an
I'D to the record Of the British navy for the
Terrible made eighty hits out Of 1O4 Shots the
Prince George ffty-twO hits out of ninety
three shots, and the Majestic fifty hits out OF
1OS shots
