KELLAM-CHRIsT1AN.
Bishop Forbids Mr.. Kellam From
Speakinp on the Floor.

Especial from Staff Consequently
CHARLOTTESVILLE VA. Nov. L.
At last Is there obtaillable All insight Into
the real status of the Kellam- Christian
affair. and 1t is with somewhat OF a
shuitler that the brethren realize how
near they were to tremendous stir-up
at the very end OF this most peaceful
conference session. The facts to he re-
cited camo from the lips of the Princess
Anne layman himself.
This morning Mr.. kellam paid visit
to Bishop Hendrix and laid the mater
before him. He announced his Intention
Of arising to-day to question OF per-
sonal privilege and openinE the lnuen-
dreaded matter. But the episcopal au-
thority, which. throughout the session
has been exerted to smooth things over,
was again interposed. The bishop IN
formed Mr.. Kellam that he could 40
nothing now. Any action that he might
have wished to take should have been
taken a year ago In Richmond. where
Mr.. IIellam was absent. He could not
at this conference bring UP matter
that occurred at totally different con
ference. ITe advised Mr.. Kellan to have
recourse to the public prints IL he wished
to make statement to the public.
The recommendation of the bishop Will
be followed by Nj. KELVIN. Owing to
the necessarily volumnous character OF
tho documents he expects to introduce,
no will not appear In the daily papers.
There will very shortly, however. be
issued q pamphlet covering the case LOT
six years, UP to the last conference. ana
a copy will be sent to every member OF
the body. In this pamphlet Mr.. Rellam
will make no attack upon Mr.. CHRISTIAN
or anybody else. It will be altogether
defensive. The layman Will introduce
evidence to show (D that he was IN
dcted not for felony, but Tor a mis-
demeanor.
(o) That he was tried and acquitted
by a Jury Of his peers.
90 Not upon a techntcallty, nut upon
the merits of the case, and
"a, TINT the tribunal before which he
endeavored to have Mr.. Christian appear
was not a district conference committee
pa cked by himself. but a committee OF
investigation appointed under the laws
of the church.
In substantiation of these representa-
tions and in defense Of his character
In general, Mr.. Kellanl Will introduce
large amount of documentary evidence
in the way OF court records, transcripts
received a h,1ober OF kilograms here
and expects letter after letter, endorse
ment after endorsement. from some o.
the most prominent citizens Of Norfolk
and princess Anne, declaring his charac-
ter to be unassailed. Mr.. Kellam further
declares that he has accented every
proper. proposal made to him for peace
IN settlement OF the matter. Early in
the conference session he was ap-
preached by disinterested. minister and
asked IL he would appoint arbitrators
X Christian agreed to do the same. H..
RENTED in tho affirmative, and. named
his men. Tho Berkeley minister, ne says

Interests the Photographer.

The illustration shows the details
of a photometer for comparing the
relative values of a measured light
with that prevailing where a picture
is to be taken. Two dry batteries are
connected with a small incandescent
lamp, which is located behind
translucent screen. with means for
varying the intensity of the rays
emitted by the filament of the lamp.
Let us suppose that the light to be
measured is projected against one side
of the screen. with this lamp shining
on the opposite side. If the measur-
ing light causes the exposed face OF
the screen to glow or makes visible an
Opaque image or one less translucent

Noiseless and smokeIess Guns.


An apparatus has lately been in
vented to suppress sound. smoke and
fire in guns. 1t consists essentially of
n steel tube made in compartments
closed by partitions, these partitions
having orifces somewhat larger than
the caliber of the firearm. This tube
is fixed in front of the muZZle of the
gun by bayonet clasp at the moment
of firing. At other times it is de-
tached and carried as walking stick.
1t operates as follows: While the
projectile is engaged in the piece the
gases from the powder spread in front
OF the muzZle and are arrested by the
first partition. AS the projectile passes
along the bore the gas Is arrested in
the same way and when the bullet
leaves the piece there is so little gas
remaining that there is no flame pro-
duced by its combustion. The gases.
momentarily stopped by the partitions,
escape successfully and quietly with
out sound or smoke. The auxiliary
tube weighs 700 grams, is 10 centime-
tres in length and can be armed with
a knife at the end so as to serve as
bayonet. 1t is fully described in
France Militaire by NJ. Humbert. its
inventor.

Fishing Reel of New Design.

With the introduction of the new
fishing reel presented in the picture
below, one more excuse of the fisher
man for not landing "the biggest fish"
has probably been removed. namely.
the inability to take up the slack OF
the line with sufficient rapidity when
the fish turns. 1t is claimed for this
new reel that the spool can be rotated
with great speed should the necessity
arise, as 1t often does, and at the
same time the hand which operates
the reel can support portion of the
weight of the rod. which is impossible
with the crank reel now in common
use. The new mechanism consists of
a spool pivoted in an enlargement OF
the pole, with grooyed shaft de-
tachably connected to the lower end
of the spool shaft. The grooved shaft
is mounted below the spool. with

the screen, it follows that the measur-
ing light is stronger than the light out
side of the photometer. Assuming
this condition to exist. II the measur-
ing light be gradually decreased Its
Illuminating effect upon the exposed
face of the screen will gradually fade
away and eventually vanish.
When this vanishing point is
reached it may be assumed that the
light to be measured is equal to that
in the instrument. and the operator
has only to look on his gauge which
controls the power of the incandescent
lamp to find the value of its light
rays. With the knowledge of this
value it is an easy matter to adjust
the diaphragm and time the exposure
of the plate. Eugene T. Turney Of
San Francisco, Cal. is the inventor.

sombardments to Preven. HaIlstorm,.

Bombardments to Prevent Hailstorms.
Congresses were held in Europe in
1899, 1900 and 1901 to discuss the re-
suits obtained by shooting cannon
toward storm clouds to prevent hail
on vineyards and other cultivated
lands beneath them. Statistics were
presented in great quantities and sub
ventions were obtained from the gov
ern!nents of Austria and Italy to be
expended in aid of this form of pro-
lection. In 1899 the congress had no
doubt of the success of such expert
ments; in 1900 the result was ad-
mitted to be doubtful and in 1901 to be
very doubtful. AS men of science all
over the world were sceptical from
the very first the Austrian minister of
agriculture has lately convened a COM
mittee of experts to study the ques-
ton and to advise him as to further
expenditures. A strong majority of
this committee has pronounced the
experiment very doubtful and a ma
jority has declared the reported sue
cesses to be illusory. That the ques-
ton may now be tried out to the end
the committee as a whole recommends
the continuation of the experiments
for several years yet.
