new GUN FOR Use
AGAINST A|RSHIPS
Perfected by Army and Soon

at Sandy Hook.

washington. August 30.-A new six
FOUNDER gun. equipped with specially
adapted high explosive projectiles and
shrapnel shells. to demolish aeroplanes
and balloons in battle. has been per-
tected by the United States Army.
1t can be elevated at any angle, and
possesses maximum effective range
or seven miles. The construction OF
the new rife has just been completed
at the Rock Island, Illinois. arsenal
Experiments with it will begin at the
SANDY Hook proving grounds within
fortnight. The army thus is in I'D
vance of the navy toward solution Of
the problem of defense against air
ships. The navy only few days ago
conducted its frst tests with the car
rage of one-poundei gun. The
shells which this army gun will hurI
into the skies are described as re-
markable devices. They will be load
ed with dunnite or other high explo-
sives. and upon bursting will send
forth shower OF shot in a cone-liks
area, similar to the performance of a
skyrocket. almost certain TO strike an
airship II aimed with any degree Of
accuracy. Other projectives which
have been designed for the new gun
contain only a high explosive. which

Following in the wake of these DOW
ertul projectives will be tracers which
Will aid in accurately aiming the gun
in the course of hostile airship.
The tracers to be used in the day
light hours will be of smoke, while
sparks will show the path of the shell
at night. The sight OF the new gun
also has been perfected, designed to
meet the changing conditions of the
tracing of a proiectiie. fired at vary
ing angles. AS soon as the angle of
the aeroplane has been detected, the
sight will automatically set the gun
to the proper elevation. The gun is

the army will shoot at balloons and
box kites. and possibly a real aero
plane will be used for the purpose of
sighting at great distances. The Sig
nal Corps Will be asked to cooperate
with the Ordnance Department and
send one of Its airships now at Coll
lege Park Md. to the proving grounds.
Credit for the invention belongs to
ordnance experts of the army working
under direction OF Brigadier-General

Two OF the candidates in the Virginia

Failure to file statements within the

of the law OF 1910, namely. a fine not

The la wrequires the fling of in

apparently left to the discretion of
the secretary of the Senate or the
clerk of the House. as the case may
be, to decide whether these statements
shall be given to the public. The pub

the preparation of the new law,
amending the act of 1910. that the
amendments were desIsned to GIVE
actual publicity to the Individual ex-

surprise was expressed to-day when
IT. was realized that the law was en-
tirely silent upon the matter of MAX

ter, particularly to those members of
the animal kingdom which subsist on
the commodity. According to figures
gathered by the San Francisco Hay
Association, there is serious danger
of a famine in the staple, unless there
are early rains to start the new grass
and an open winter to nurture it's
growth. If the rains are late and the
winter is cold, ton of hay may be
of equal value with the horse that
eats it.
According to the hay association,
there is available in San Francisco,
Okland and at tributary points to
those markets, 161,75O tons of hay.
On November 1, 1909, there were on
hand 258,57O tons, or about $4,000 tons
more than this year. and last year
there was in stock on November l,

than is available now. AS the short
age in hay is matched by shortage
