so that vessels can get to deep water

hardest character and, therefore, the
work has been slow. But the re-

be no need Of dredging to keep the
channel open. More than 100000
cubic yards OF coral reef have been
excavated to open the approaches TO

England Has New Rifle

The barrel of the new rifle will not
have the full five inches restored. but
about one-half of that. A change of
considerable Importance will be made
In the caliber, which in the new rifle
will be .276 instead of 1903.
An advantage in velocity is expect
ed from this change, as the bullet will
be lighter. The chamber Of the new
rife being larger and the breech
mechanism stronger the explosive to
be used will possess very high power;
and it is not improbable that the
velocity will be 1000 feet a second,
as against 2,450 of the rife and am
munition now in use. This would give
Britain an advantage OF 100 feet a
second over the nearest rival, and with
the alterations the bullet should never
travel higher than the height OF a
man
The principle of the aperture sight,
which makes aiming partially auto
matte, has been accepted, and the
loading also will be much quickened
by the new methods of feeding cart
ridges into the chamber. The new
rife will be a few ounces heavier than
the present Lee-Entield. 1t is expect.
ed that trials will be made with 1t by
selected troops this summer.

NO LONGER NOON IN STRAND
Violent Remedy Applied to Clock That
Fooled Londoners for Ten
Years.

LondoH.-For ten years the clock Oh
st. Mary-le-Strand has looked due
west past the Savoy and Cecil hotels
and on the Charing Cross announcing
to all that the hour was exactly IL
o'clock. A couple Of days ago the
hands Of the old clock ere removed
and a familiar feature Of the Strand
has thus been lost.
The rector's wife explains that PEG.

noon have been deceived into thinking
that the old clock was n trustworthy
timepiece, and the result has been
'fnnumerable letters Of complaint
from all kinds Of irate people who
have lost trains or missed appoint.
ments. This has gone on for years,
until at last a clocBmaster offered to
take away the hands and leave the
dial blank but not misleading"
The reason why st. Mary-le.StFands'
clock pointed to the same hour for ten
long years Is simple enough. There
was no money to defray the expenses
of keeping It in order
Up to eleven or twelve years ago
the yestry looked after II, but when
the Westminster city council took
over the vestries the clocks income
was stopped. Private generosity kept
It going till 1902. Then It stopped. and
except for three hours in 1908 It has
lever gone since.
Its short resumption Of labor was
due to the enterprise Of an organ
blower who one day climbed the
tower, wound up the spring. and after
a struggle managed to get the pendu-
lum to swing. To the establishment Of
the yerger, the rector and people in
the Strand, the old clock recorded the
hours Of one, two and three, and then
stopped. Next day It vas put back to
twelve, and there 1t remained till n
couple OF days ago.

London.-The British troops are to
be armed with a new rifle.
Ever since its Introduction in 1908
the Lee-Enield rife, with which the
British forces are now armed, has
been the subject Of fierce controversy.
The shortening Of the barrel was the
point chiefly criticized, and as the rifle
has not been able to hold its own
against the longer weapon with which
the territorials have been equipped
the controversy has never died down.
The idea underlying the adoption Oh
the short rifle was to have a weapon
which would be easily handled by Dotn
mounted and ~dismounted troops. To
suit the cavalry five inches was taken
off the rifle and the reach OF the IN
fantry soldier with the bayonet was
thus shortened. Attempts nave peen
made to restore this LOST advantage
by the issue of a longer btyonet, put
the developments of the modern high
power cartridge have intehsihed the
defects of the short barrel as regards
fire efficiency. A longer barrel Is
necessary for accuracy and ease,

Death Recalls an Incident That
Occurred in 1863.
Mrs. Alexander klaueke, Native OF
Carroll County, Dies in Germany
Long After Marrying a Soldier Who
Appealed to Her for a Drink.

Westminster, Md.-Information has
Just been received In this city OF the
death of Mrs. Alexander A. G. Klancke,
a native of this county, at her home
in Weisbaden, Germany, an event
which calls to the minds of some OF
the elderly residents of the county an
interesting romance in connection with
her marriage to Mr.. Klancke. Mrs.
Klancke's maiden nam was Mary
Freeze, and she was related to some
Of the leading people of this county.
In the summer of 1863 she was WIS.,

mother Of the late Judge John e.
Smith, IN East Main street, this city,

States army passed through here on
its way to Gettysburg, Two officers
OF the corps, n of whom was MI.
Klancke, halted at the Smith residence
and asked for water to quench their
thirst, and 1t was Miss Freeze who
handed a glass of water to the man
who afterward became her husband.
As it was the dinner hour, Mrs. Smith
hospitality invited the officers to dine
VIII her family, IN invitation which
was accepted with alacrity, especial
" by Mr.. Klancke, who had promptly
fallen In love with the pretty maiden
nom whose hand he had received the
water. The sequel proved that the
admiration of the officer was recipro-
Gated, and ere he resumed his march
he had won Miss Freeze. Though 1t
was a case of love at first sight, the
lovers were faithful, and soon after
the close of the Civil war they were
married in Ascension Episcopal
church, this city, by Rev. DR.. James
". Reese.
Mr.. Klancke was for a time a gov
eminent official in one of the depart
ments at Washington, but soon after
MS marriage resigned and with his
American bride sailed for his home in
Germany. 1t had then transpired that
he was a gentleman of wealth and no

NEW INDUSTRY IN THE SOUTH
Agricultural Department Doing Much
Work to Encourage Farmers in
Culture OF Rice.

The agricultural department has
done, and Is stlll doing, a vast amount
OF work to benefit the farmers. but
perhaps in no branch OF farming has
this been more fully shown than in
he culture OF rice. A comparatively
Few years ago practically an oil cur
home crop OF rice was grown on the
Atlantic coast, the methods Of hand
ing IT were more or less primitive, the
production small. and the country was
a large importer OF rice. Twenty or
twenty-five years ago lands OF Louis
lana and Texas and others OF the
southern states were pointed GU as
suitable for successful rice culture.
They were used largely as cattle
ranges and were selling at from one to
Two dollars per acre. With the intro
ducuon and successful production OF
rice, the cost OF land rapidly increased,
n the farmers OF this region saw the
need for improved methods OF handling
this crop. Many were pioneers from
the great wheat-growing states-Iowa,
Kansas, Minnesota. Wisconsin, Illinois
n Indiana. They brought south with
them the implements they had USED in
growing wheat-tEe gang pillow. drill,
seli-binder, header and other modern
implements-and methods and ideas
never before applied to rice culture,
making it possible to produce a much
larger quantity Of rice per man than
ever was before.
A question arose as to the competi.
ton of Oriental countries in the pro-
duction of rice. and one of the depart
ments most capable men demonstrat.
ed that one American, with modern
equipment, can produce as much rice
as three hundred Orientals.
