vehicles owned by the government and
used In public service The judge advo-
cate general OF the army has rendered an
opinion to the effect that motor gen
orator constitutes part OF the equipment
of an engineer organization of the reg
ular army. He does not believe 1t nee
essary or right to raise question as
to its use with the authorities of the
state in which it is proposed to employ
it. 1t is held that the better practice
would be for the government officials
to proceed without reference to the state
authorities and have the matter settled
eventually by legal proceedings. The
judge advocate general is Of the opinion
that the time Is not far off when some
form Of light gun, ammunition or ration
carrier. propelled by steam or gasoline,
will be employed. In such case. he says.
the government cannot afford to subject
its military equipment to the jurisdiction
of the several states. especially when
the principle is so well established that
the states may not interfere with the
agencies Of the United States.
Experiments are being conducted, under
the supervision OF the ordnance depart
ment Of the army, with a light running
motor, designed to carry small rapid
fire guns, ammunition or rations. The
idea Is to devise a high speed light rum
ming car that may be applied to the nu
merous uses necessary In flying cam

Secret Ordnance Experiments.

An appropriation of 100000 for naval
ordnance. contained In the latest naval
eppropriation act which has just become
available. will be utilized for important
experinents TO be conducted In secret.
No previous announcement will be made
az the exper!rnents Some Of them will
probably be conducted at the naval prov
ing grounds at Indian Head, Md. Tho
tests will be made solely with the view
OF obtaining information for the Navy
Department, and the results will not be
made public.
One of the most important tests is that
which will show whether the armor now
being ulaced on batt!eships Will resist

tie ranges. Guns are now fired In tests
AT short range with velocities which are
estimated TO equal that which would exist
II the distance were what is known as a
battle range. Actual experiments in
riring at such ranges against armor sup
ported in the same manner on bat
tleship have never been carried out. and
no one knows what the actual effect will
be.
Another question is whether high ex-
plostve shells will have the effect claimed
FOR them and whether the pressure of the
gases OF such violent explosion will
blow In the armor side of a battlesEip.
Then too. IL is desired TO know what
will be the material effect of such ex-
plosives on the personnel and whether the
structure of the ship will stand IT. Con-
nected with such an experiment is the
determination of the maximum depth to
which a twelve-inch shell viii penetrate

Of the explosion on the underwater body.

resistance of exterior armor TO the at

ENGLISH AUTHORS PROFITS.
An Amusing Controversy Raging
Over the Supposed Earnings. 80

Special Correspondence OF The Star. -.
LONDON, June 30, 1850
An interesting controversy regarding
authors profits is causing mingled amuse
ment and surprise in London. Arnold
Bennett, one of the cleverest and most
popular of modern English writer. has
stated that there must be nearly a hun
dred novelists who are making $4,800 a
year by fiction, and he undertakes TO
find forty who are making. a still larger
income on the list of three principal fc
tion publishers alone.
Edgar Jepson, an Industrious and ac-
complished writer Of humorous tales,
challenges this statement and says he
will give Mr.. Bennett S12 for every novel
ist in the list above the number of
thirty who is earning over $500 a year.
Mr.. Jepson does not believe that there
are twenty novelists In England today
who are earning anything like that
amount.
Mr.. Bennett proposes to get out sta
tistics proving his case. Meanwhile writ
ers Of stories, short or long, are laying
odds on Mr.. Jepson.

New Design Of Naval Collier.
The new fleet collier. for which bids are
soon to be opened at the Navy Depart
| ment, will be the latest model of that
type OF auxiliary naval vessel. The ma
val constructors have been consulting for
eign sources of information on the sub
ject, and the collier will represent new
device in design and construction of that
sort of ship. The dimensions are:
Length, 500 feet: beam. 6o feet; draft, p
feet inches. and displacement, 1850
tons. The collier will carry l.. 500 tons of
coal. as we'll as 1000 tons of oil. The
latter will be used as fuel for the fifteen
| torpedo boat destroyers which are nearing
completion or are under construction.
The speed of the collier will be fourteen
knots. 1t Is not intended to place any
armament on the collier beyond. perhaps,
