ROOF RIFLE RANGE.
One Started in London by Lord
Roberts.

Special ablegram to The Star.
rife range in London has just been opened
by Lord Roberts
1t is a miniature range, twenty-e!ght
yards long. built on the roof Of one of the
warehouses Of DR.. Jaeger's Sanitary WOODEN
System Company, Limited, and entirely in
closed by steel plates. With the Morris
tube the range is equal to 200 yards.
The 800 people employed at the warehouse
as well as many others at the different
branches will in the future practice shooting
during the evenings and In the dinner hour
Lord Roberts opened the range with a sill
yer key and Lady Aileen Roberts fred the
first shot, scoring an inner" to the great
delight of the man who trained the rifle
Subsequently Lord Roberts addressed
about GOO people, consisting chiefly of heads
Of city firms at the drill hall of the Lon
don rifle brigade on his keen desire that
the manhood of this country should be able
to shoot with the rifle.
He did not intend to imply that minia-
ture rifle shooting was in all respects as
useful as being able to shoot on a long
range. but he was satisfied that men could
be taught to shoot on miniature range,
and unless such ranges were generally
made use of in this country 1t would be inn
possible for the great majority of Englisn-
men to learn to shoot at all.
Lord Roberts regretted that his appeal for
funds in aid of national shooting had met
with SO poor a response. The total sum
subscribed was only about 5000.
Most of those who had correspondent with
him on the subject had given as their rea-
son for not subscribing that they considered
the case one which one state should take up.
He admitted that in matter. OF such ex-
IRENE importance to the future OF the coun-
try the state should most assuredly take

BOLT OF LIGHTNING.
Welded a Broken Rail and Saved
Trainload Of Passengers.

LIE Sueur Corr. St Paul Pioneer Press.
When the S:23 limited pulled into
Wheatley, in this county. last evening 1t
was discovered that one of the rear wheels
on the last coach was broken, piece hav
ing been split of from one de so that there
was slightly fiat place on the wheel, and,
as 1t was feared, the broken wheel In
pounding over the track had broken a rail.
Only by a miracle was the $3.50 local saved
from being wrecked.
Three miles south of Bentley the fiat
tened wheel had broken out a section OF
rail about seven feet long-broken it out so
badly that 1t was torn from the spikes and
lay across the rails, where it was found,
five minutes before the local was due. by

who lives on a farm nearby. The lad knew
that the local soon would be along. and
he was frightened. He put the piece OF
rail in place and then started down the
track toward the approaching train run
ming as fast as he could. He had not gone
twenty feet, however. when there came
binding fash of lightning from dark
cloud that covered the sky, and he was
struck down unconscious and nearly bereft
Of life.
1t must have been ten minutes before he
regained consciousness. for when he did so
he saw the train coming toward him at
great speed. He staggered to his feet. the

did not stop, and just as 1t was about to
crush him he stepped from the rails and
the train sped on.
But the engineer at the last moment had
seen the boy step out of the engines way,
and. throwing over the lever, stopped the
train. after it had run several hundred feet
beyond the break in the rail-

AN INFALLIBLE SYSTEM.
Monte Carlo Game Subject Of Suit
at Law

at Law.
Special Cablegram to The Star.
LONDON, November An infaliible sys-
tenn to break the bank at Monte Carlo form
ed the subject of suit in the Brentford
county court recently when MI Harold Fur
Miss of Wimbledon. a cousin of the famous
black and white artist. and the proprietor
Of several sporting newspapers. sued Mr..
James Gourlay of Isleworth for $780,
1t was stated that Mr.. Furniss lent the
money to Mr.. Gourlay under an arrange
ment by which the latter was to go to
Monte Carlo and assist the agent Of syn
dictate which had been formed to work the
infallible system which Mr.. Furniss had
devised.
Mr. Furniss, it was stated. revealed the
system TO Gourlay, with the exception Of
one crucial point which was described as
the missing clue" and which WAS to lave
been telegrapted to Mr.. Gourlay at Monte
Carlo. Mr.: Furniss declared that MIR.
Gourlay did not go to Monte Carlo. and 1t
was doubtful IT. he ever left Iseworth.
Now was not this little gamble of your
own" inquired Mr.. Wilfrid Firth, who de-
Tended.
Nothing Of the kind Mr.. Furniss re-
piled.
What percentage of the profits were you
to receiver continued Mr.. Firth.
A fifth Of the winnings"
This was surprising this infallihle 'sys-
tenn proved infallible," the Judge replied
Mr. Furniss said that to the best of his
recollection he wrote the following letter:
My Dear Gourlay-Here's twenty quid.
II You are going to take a capital of
4l,ooo and this Uhe G2D is added think
falr d1vis On would be for US to think that
my share in the preparation is worth an
other E30. Then II you give me one-fifth
or all of the profits you make after all ex-
penses are paid it would come out about

and don't put anything in writing Things
Of this KIND are better on ones word of
honor"
Now will you give me the missing clue
you promised to telegraph to my client at
Monte Carlo?" MIR. Firth asked
NO. said Mr.. Furniss emphatica.ly.
Mr.. Firth pleaded the gaming act in de-
Tense and submitted that the transaction
was q pure gamble.
The judge. however, found that Mr. Fur
Mss had advanced the 800 to Gourlay for
him to go to Monte Carlo and that he did
not go. Therefore he feared that the con-
tract was broken and gave a verdict for Mr.,
F'urniSs for the amount claimed
