USE MOVIES AS A TARGET.
Kaiser Tests New Contrivance at
Rifle Ranue.

Berlin. July THE moving pic
ture has been turned to account by
the army. and it is likely that por-
ton of the soldiers rifle range work
will hereafter be done with moving
figures for targets. A test of the new
contrivance at the DoeberitZ range
gave good results. and the emperor
who witnessed the tests and himself
fired n number of shots was pleased
with the innovation.
Long rolls of paper replaced the us
ual film, and on them appear march
ing soldiers. cavalrymen, artillery in
full gallop, cycle troops and other
moving objects. The instant bullet
strikes the paper the spot of impact
is brilliantly lighted and the move
ment of the contrivance is arrested
for nearly second. giving an oppor-
tunity to see the full effect of the
shot. II Is believed that the inven-
tion will not only improve the sol
diers' craftsmanship. but will also
prove valuable in training them to aim
and fire rapidly.

INTENSE FEELING IN ENGLAND.
Sentiment So Marked That Divided
Country is Hnted At.

London, July THE possibility OF
the North and the South OF England
becoming two distinct nations was al
most seriously discussed by Bishop
Wellson, Dean of Manchester, at re-
cent meeting in London. The Bishop
said that any one who had gone from
the South To the North ms he had done
would be struck by the widening gulf
between the two sections. For one
thing there was the growing difference
of ecclesiastical feeling, the South
showing more and the North less SYM
pathy with ritualistic practices.
The differences had also been aug
mented by the tenacity with which the
North, and Lancashire particularly,
had clung to the doctrines OF free
trade, whereas the South Of England
was largely, though not entirely given
to protection or tariff reform.
