The falling of the heavens would

and excitement in London than the
. sight which met the residents eyes
ION the morning Following the, kings
visit to the Hippodrome. The fog
which settled Unexpectedly on that
night of June dissipated itself as
stealthily as it had come, and floated
out with the dawn, leaving in-its stead
a clear sky. And then, as If a rare
discovery had been made simultane.
,eusly by thousands instead of one,
swarm of people, defying the rush of
motors, of omnibuses and .hausoms,
debouched on the Thames embank-
ment by the stately pile of buildings
where parliament convenes, filled the
roadsteads, damned each other
against the river wall, and seorned the
constables who vainlN4stro1e to main
tain order and uninterrupted traffic.
There, resting serenely on the
bosom of the river where in times be-
fore Roman galleys had hoated, was
the pride CT the British navy, the
Dreadnought. Neither an officer of
the watch a sailor, nor a marine be.

close by the great gray buildings like

masked guns stared wideeyed and
mournful; from her crippled tunnels
came no wisp of curling smoke; from
her channels stretched no anchor
chains; and she paid no heed to the
vagaries of the sluggish current; her
PROV which had defianuy parted so
many seas was nosed into the mud in
helplessness; but as an only solace

Thos. Neary, young Minot attor-
ney, claims that he has invented an
arrangement to be fastened onto q
gun. whereby one can shoot with q
considerable degree of accuracy at
dawn or dusk, and quite late In the
evening. The arrangement consists
of two small electric light bulbs.
placed in the front and hind sights,
with reflector which sends the
light far ahead towards the target.
The lights may easily be lighted
with small button, storage bat
terry being attached to the gun. Neary
has shown his invention to the war
department, and they are now busy
making tests. 1t is said that Roose-
velt has two guns. with this attach

Chas. ]. Madden, prominent
farmer residing near Kenmare, has
been endorsed by the American So
ciety of Equity of Ward county to
serve as grain commissioner from
the state. The bill passed by the
recent legislature, provides for the
appointment by the governor of two
judges to be stationed at st. Paul
and Duluth, to inspect all North Da-
kota grain grades. The A. S. of E.
will do it's uttermost to see that the
governor appoints Mr.. Madden, and
if he is appointed, the growers Of
