THE NEW SIEGE GUN.
Powerful Ordnance for the Army,

The new siege gun fires Al inch 60
pound projectile which with the power
and case makes the cartridge weigh
1915 pounds. The initial velocity is
LOO feet per second. The rifle weighs
1,730 pounds, and is carried on three
tubes, the middle one being hydraulic
cylinder to check the recoil, while the
other two contain helical springs to take
up the counter recoil. Gun and carriage
complete weigh 7,170 pounds. High ex-
plosive shell and shrapnel are used.
The ease and rapidity with which the
carriage can be unlimbered and made
ready for firing, or the reverse, is espe-
cially notable. Other prominent fea-
lures of this material are the great
range and power of the gun, great
weight If projectile when caliber Is con-
sidered, rapidity of fire and ease OF SER
vice resulting from quickly-loaded am
munition, improved sights and travers-
ing arrangements and stability of the
carriage.
The firing mechanism is of the con-
tinuous-pull type. in which the firing
pin is cooked and fired by a single pull
of the lanyard or stroke of the firing
lever. The mechanism is simple, and

TRUCK INSTEAD OF RICE.

1t seems that the famous rice fields of
South Carolina are passing. For some
reason they cannot compete successfully
witt, those in Louisiana and Texas.
Much of the trouble is due to the rice
blast which has made it impossible to
raise crops in all of large sections, Con-
sequently the rice plantations are being
abandoned for that crop and taken pos
session of by truck raisers. The land is
found wonderfully adapted to raising
Strawberries, cabbages, beans, potatoes
eggplant, asparagus, peas, lettuce. Gu
cumbers radishes, etc. Recently canta-
ioupes and watermelons of superior
quality were produced there, and there
is now talk of the fine quality of tobacco
that can be raised. There are some
10000 acres of these lands, and if they
can be properly drained will make un-

COBALT STORAGE BATTERIES.

Thomas A. Edison is talking again, or,
more likely. it is those who are exploit
ing his inventions. He says he is going
TO immensely cheaper electric vehicles
by his new cobalt storage battery. He
claims that this will decrease the weight
of the battery one-half and diminish
the cost of the traffic in the city fully 55
per cent. In place of cobalt being the
rare metal that it has lately been con-
sidered, he has found that 1t exists in
plenty, especially in a strip of country
turning east from Nashville, Tenn, into
North Carolina. So he says: my dis
covery means a revolution in the cleo
trical world
We sincerely hope that this Is SO. and
that all that Mr.. Edison claims will be
fully verified; but the people must re-
member that he has before made claims
which have fallen very far short OF
realization.

Some years ago there was much of a
furry over banana flour, but the inter-
est in it died down. Actual test seems
to have demonstrated that it has much
use, since it is more digestible than
wheat -four and is useful in diabetes
and for infants and invaiids troubled
with acute indigestion. A great 6eal is
made in England, and the demand for
it is increasing. 1t seems to be coming
into wider use in this country. There
was once talk that it could be put into
competition with wheat -four, but this
idea has been abandoned, as it costs
to-day about s120 ton to make banana
flour. In some portions of the world
bananas grow spontaneously and the
soil produces enormous crops. These,
however, are far from market, and even
if they were nearer, the cost of ham
ding and of desiccation make the flour
very much more costly than that pro-
duced from wheat

THE NEW ERIE CANAL.

a great deal of practical knowledge
In canal digging is being developed b.
the enlargement of the Erie Canal The
best of machinery of all kinds is being
put to work and tested and its value
determined in handling different kinds
of material. 1t is an immense job, and
at places the size of the work ap-
proaches that of the Panama Canal.
Contract No. 4 has but 4.S3 miles, but
it involves the excavation of 2,22S,OO0
cubic yards. Many of the cuts have to
be made through solid rock. When fin
ished vessels drawing II u feet of water
can pass from Lake Erie to the Hudson,
and the width at the bottom of the
canal will pe at least IS feet. 1t is eX-
pected that the method of transporta-
ton adopted will be towing boat car
rying a considerable quantity of grain
and pulling a string of barges after It
1t is estimated that these can be made
to carry 1000 tons of grain, or enough
in each string to load an ocean steam
ship. A single barge will carry enough
to fill the hold of many of the three
1nasted schooners in the coasting trade.
An interesting comparison is made of
these and the Seneca Chief, which was
the first boat to make the trip from
Buffalo to Albany. The new barges will
carry 33 1-3 times as much as the Sem
eca Chief did. The immensity of the
trade that it is expected will pass over
the canal is almost beyond comprehen-
sion. The present cost of transporta-
ton on the canal averages 81 cents per
ton, or 1.9 mills per ton per mile, a
little less than one-fifth of cent. When
the new canal is completed it is expect
ed that the maximum cost of transpor-
tation will be 26 cents a ton, or 50 of
a mill per tone per mile, which will
place it clear beyond any competition
by the railroads. The present average
cost of carrying wheat from Buffalo to
Albany is about six mills per ton per
mile, or nearly II times as much as it
will be. on the new canal.

The Division of Mines OF the United
States Geological Survey has established
an experiment station at Chapel Hill.
n. G., to develop system for profitably
mining the great quantities of low
grade ores along the eastern slope of
the Blue Ridge. There has always been
known to be a great deal of gold I'm
what is known as the Piedmont region,
extending from New York to Alabama,
and about s2o,0O0,O0o of the precious
metal has been mined. The gold exists
In just sufficient quantities to tempt
prospectors to put in expensive machin-
cry and lose all that they have invest
ed. There have been millions of dol
lars put into gold plants from Wash
1ngton 10 Atlanta, and thousands of san
guine prospectors have dreamed of
great wealth. all of them to meet with
saddening disappointment. The Geo
logical Survey is encouraged. however
by the results of its experiments at the
Portland Exposition and of examina-
lions of 'black sand" to hope that a
general reduction may find sufficient
quantities of other metals with the gold
10 make the mining profitable. The
black sand is heavy sediment which
IS found in the neighborhood of gold
deposits, and it is likely to contain other
precious metals than gold. Platinum is
q frequent but not usual accompani-
ment and it is very desirable that the
United States shall gather up all the
platinum that it can find at this time in
its territory. The establishment of the
experiment station will either develop
that the Piedmont deposits can be
worked profitably or that they cannot,
and thereby save great deal of money
