ferno. Moreover, in the works there are
two miles of main shafting and 20 miles
of leather betting. During the South Atri-
can war rifles were turned out from this
factory at the rate of 600 per day, aud as
many as $500 were turned out In one
week-a marvellous record.
The wood REQUIRED for the rifles is first

marked and sent down In long blocks by

to be tightly compressed. In the old days
1t used to be compressed in dry condi-

Half a Million Rifles are be-
ing made-.- Modern Ways of
Fighting with Science as a
Drill Master.
With larger and yet larger armies mar
shalling every year under the flags OF
every nationality on the globe, the arm
ing of these millions of soldiers Is becom-
ing a more vital. expensive and more in
tricate problem all the while. The mo-
bility of modern fighting bodies is more
than equalled by the mutablllty of the
Individual shooting weapons which the
men carry. Fashions in army rifles change
nearly as quickly as styles in feminine
headgear. For instance, the weapon with
which Uncle Sans soldier boy charged
up San Juan's Hill Is now out OF date,
and, If not entirely replaced by more
modern shooting weapon, this is due to
the economical instincts of a truly demo-
cratic government with regard TO buying
arms for Its fighting machinery.
The masses of the civilians who stay at
home and pay the army bills have a
meager knowledge OF what sort of
weapons are put in the hands OF their
professional defenders Just try to real
lie, you old soldiers. that modern infan
try seldom condescend to look along the

longer glints. but is duh. somber brown.
The riheman Of today aims not at his
individual enemy, but takes machine
made aim with sighting gear. and fires
merely In the direction of the opposing
forces. With the rapid firing rifles OF to-
day the officers or the sergeants merely
measure the range and command sighting
for so many yards, frequently with the
enemy full mile away. Then the men
simply adjust the machinery of their
rifles and pump lead in nearly contln-
uous stream into the position OF the
enemy.
The bayonet and the revolver are the
only close-range weapons left in modern,
scientific war. But the rifle today still
hears the actual brunt of battle, second

of the labor market. and many Of them will
not be ready for occupancy before the latter

have TO be accommodated in the new houses

on Washington Heights and upper Harlem.
In these houses apartments are renting
readily from the plans, an unusual thing
IN New York. and the SUCCESS which builders
are having In securing tenants promptly
is encouraging many Of them to plan fresh
building operations with view to the
spring renting market. A good deal OF
construction work Is already assured for
this fall and winter. particularly on Wash

demand for lots there and in tho .Dyokman

THE COAL WAS DELIVERED.
However the Man Who Brought It
Dumped 1t Into the Wrong
Hole.

"A confectioner at AIS Fourth avenue or
dered three tons of coal to be delivered
the other day. A driver, with three
ton wagon, went to the store late in the
afternoon, lifted big iron cover in the
sidewalk near the curb, and chuted the
three tons into the dark hole. Then he
drove away, says the New York Times
The confectioner went down to the eel
lar in little while to bank the coal. He
found none. He wondered for some
time, as he remembered seeing the coal
wagon in front of his store, but he told
the company he had received no coal
The driver went down to see about it
What's the matter?" he asked. "You
got your coal. What We kickin' about?'
Didn't get any coal Come down into
the cellar and see"
why, !, dumped it into the coal hole
out there"
(Which hole"
THAT one" said the driver, pointing to
the cover near the curb
"Himmelp' exclaimed the purchaser, in
agony. THAT amt the coal hole,
That's the sewer"

lace, but the nations chief was not to
come for some moments.
A hush was noticeable in the crowd
The official entrance was dramatic. All
except those who were participating in
the ceremony were seated. When the
Justices of the supreme court, with the
exception of Chief Justice Fuller
emerged from between the Corinthian
pillars and marched down the sloping
carpeted aisle to their station they were
greeted with applause. The justices
wore their robes and skull-caps. Then
came the members of the diplomatic
corps, in their gorgeous uniforms, and
they evoked thunderous applause. Led
by Count Cassini, the Russian ambas-
sador and dean of the corps, and fol-
lowed by the others in order of prece-
dence, they took seats on the right of
the stand. Strolling in after them came
members of the cabinet, senators and
representatives in congress.
Hush as President Comes.
Following on the heels of the official
party came Mrs. Roosevelt and party
OF friends; then, but moment later, the
new vice president, Mr.. Fairbanks, and
his escort arrived and were greeted by
tremendous bursts of applause. AS soon
as Vice President Fairbanks seated him
self the cheers ceased, the military pre-
sented arms, every hat in the commit
tees came off and the great ocean of peo-
pie set up perfect roar of cheers, fair
ly shouting itself hoarse
Quick as flash every sound was stilled
and President Roosevelt, quiet and COM
posed of demeanor, came from between
the gigantic pillars, escorted by Chief
Justice Fuller. A random burst of
cheers came from the front of the crowd
as with measured tread, in harmony
with the dignified step of the chief JUS
tice, the president advanced in state
down the long aisle of distinguished
guests. BY this time all were standing
and nothing could be heard above the
roar of thunderous welcome. Immedi-
ately following came, arm in arm. the
members OF the committee on arrange
ments. AS the president passed down
the aisle he barred his head and with
characteristic sweep of his hat bowed in
acknowledgment of the salutations
from the stand and the ovation from the
people.
The man Of the hour was before the
most representative gathering that had
ever assembled to greet the chief execu-
tive of the nation upon like occasion.
