Music Club yesterday afternoon, sang e
program OF old and modern songs in the
Raleigh Hotel ball room. Mr.. Connelr $
voice Is OF the true royal line OF barry

LEWIS GUN PRAISED.
Army Omcer's Invention Prevents
saperheatInE of Barrel.

Brig. Gen. George P. Scriven, chief sig
nal officer of the United States army,
and Capt. W. l. Chambers, in charge Of
aviation for the Navy Department, yes
terday expressed themselves as highly
gratified over the successful tests of the
aeroplane gun of Col Isaac n. Lewis,
retired, OF the United States Coast Ar
tillery, held yesterday in England at the
Bisley Rife Range.
The barrel Of the gun is inclosed in a
tube open at both ends. The tube ex-
tends slightly in advance of the muszle
of the gun. Every discharge of the
weapon creates a vacuum. which causes a
column of cold air to follow from the
breach along the barrel and keeps IL
cool
There is new before the army and navy
experts an aeroplane gun, the invention
of another army officer, but while this
gun is ingenious, 1t has no attachment
to prevent the fatal superheating Of the
barrel.
The Lewis gun was constructed at New
port News under the direct supervision of
Col. Lewis.

tasted with Sir Cecil Arthur Spring Rice
and the members of the embassy family.
Shortly after IL o'clock the premier.
under the escort Of Secretary Bryan,

so shaped themselves as to take him

:acter. He denied that there had even
been a discussion Of the possible re-
opening of the question of reciprocity be-
tween the United States and Canada.
