RlFLEs EoR PRESIDENT
viii Carry -Four Types and About
5000 Cartridges to Africa.

Washington. Dec 15-It is stated
that for his African trip President
Roosevelt has ordered four different
types Of rifles. The first of these is
the most powerful rifle made and is
intended for the very largest types
of African game, such as rinoceri, hip
potomi and elephant II is also likely
to be extremely useful when the
President finds the looked-for croco-
die of the Upper Nile. The rifle car
ries a 3OO-grain bullet, with smoke.
less powder, and has an energy of
350O-foot pounds at the time of inn
pact.
The second rife uses 70 22O-grain
bullet and is Of a much higher power
than the first type and of longer range
fitted to XIII large game at a range of
from 500 to 1000 yards 1t is inferred
that it win be particularly valuable
for sport with the lions and animals
of lhat size and type.
The third rifle ordered is an extra
light weapon carrying 1870 cartridge.
with its most effective range at so
yards. lt is of lO5 calibre and has as
much energy after the bullet hes gone
200 yards as the government rifle has
az he muzzle.
The fourth rife is lO0.calibre and
effective up to 200 or 300 yards, TO be
used for moderate game, carrying a
bullet of 10 grains loaded with smoke
less powder
AS ammunition the President will
take for his personal use several
hundred rounds Of cartridge for each
type of gun, or a total of two or three
thousand rounds altogether
