menting for many years is now being
tried, Just as are the different styles of
artillery. In the armies Of the coun-
tries now at war four different makes
of rifles are being used. Belgium,
Germany and Russia use the Mauser'
as did Spain in her war with America.
Britain uses the Lee-Enfield; France
uses the Lebel and Austria uses the
Mannlicher. While Germany, Russia
and Belgium use the Mauser, the
rifles of these three armies are very
different, and it is simply the basic
principle of the Mauser that governs
its name.
MANY changes have been made with
rifles in recent years and now these
magazine guns can shoot and Kill at
1000 yards and the bullets will carry
much further than that distance. Cen
orally the far sights on these rifles are
set at about 1000 yards, but on the
German Mauser they are set for 2,SS2
yards. Perhaps German soldier can
sight an object a mile and half away
when looking over the sights at the
end of his piece, but riflemen general
ly think that 1000 yards is the great
est distance to shoot with accuracy.
These six different rifles vary in
weight from eight pounds 1-2 ounce
for the Belgian piece to nine pounds
3 1-2 ounces for the French rifle. This

Laid Aside Disnity.-"By the grace OF
God l was born a gentleman, but l
act the prince as little as possible"
was a favorite saying Of Emperor Jo-
seph II, says London Tit-Bits. Wheth-
er his humility was sincere or not, ne
certainly laid aside his dignity OF sta
ton whenever he could also lay aside
his duties as ruler of the holy Roman
empire.
In Au Couchant de la Monarchie the
Marquis de Segur tells of one occasion
when the emperor went to France to
visit his sister. Queen Marie Antoin-
cite. The Parisians, accustomed to the
luxury and magnificence at the court
of Versailles, were astOnished at the
extreme simplicity that Joseph II af-
fected.
He preferred not to be recognized
as emperor at all, and travelled, with
one or two gentlemen, or alone. under
an assumed name. Once his quick wit
alone preserved his incognito.
He had stopped for the night at an
inn, and in the morning was shaVlnS
before a small glass, while the land
lords daughter held a basin Of water
for him. Something about the man
or his belongings had reused the girfs
curiosity and suspicion, for she pres
emily asked, in a respectful voice:
Are you not connected with the
court or in the service Of the emper-
orr"
Joseph, who saw what her questions
might lead up to, replied quickly:
why, certainly, my dear girl. How
did YOU guess? / shave him"
His ready answer, which did not
pass the bounds Of truth, lulled the
girls suspicious completely.

the wall were built by Louis PHILIPPE.
They sustained the German siege OF
1901 and the outer forts have since
been greatly strengthened. The third
line of forts are of modern construc-
ton with the latest types of batteries
and heavy guns
The inner wall about Paris sur
rounds the best known and most i'm
portant sections Of the city. Outside
of the wall a circle Of suburbs extends
for many miles, among which are dot
ted the forts of the second and third
line of defenses, protecting them and
the approaches to the capital. The
wall contains SO bastions and 81 gates.
The second line of forts includes the
famous fortress of Mont Varerain,
which was the center Of attack in the
German siege of 1870. South Of the
city is the row of forts at Ivry, Bictre,
Mont Rouge, Venves and Issy. North
and east of the city are three great
forts around ST. Denis, and two others
at Fort Aubervilliers and Fort Charen-
ton. commanding the approach of the
great wood of Bondy. The outer cir
Gle of forts, of the most modern type,
have from "a to 60 heavy guns and 500
to 1900 men each. In all the three
lines of defense require 10000 men
to operate them, not counting troops
assembled within the city According
to military experts, it would require a
force of 100000 men to invest these
defenses.
General Won Moltke, field marshal
of the German forces at the time of
the siege of Paris in 1901. states in
report on that siege that the French
artillery armament consisted of more
than 2,627 pieces, including 200 of the
largest calibre of naval ordnance.
There were 500 rounds for each gun
and a reserve of 100000 Kilograms
of powder. Won Moltke points out
that the bombardment Of a fortified
place in the heart of an enemy's coun-
try is difficult, if not impossible, until
the invader Is master Ol lne ran" dS ;
or waterways by which heavy siege
artillery can be brought up. He eX-
plains the failure to lombard Paris at
the outset of the former siege by say
| ing it would have required 800 heavy
guns with 500 rounds for each gun.
The movement forward of these heavy
guns would have required $4,000 four
wheeled wagons and 10000 horses,
which were not available.
At later stage the Germans brought
up their big siege guns, attacking the
enciente and ports and dropping 300
to 400 15-centimeter shells daily into
the heart of the city. Notwithstand-
ing the fury of the German attack,
Paris withstood the siege for 1872 days.
Since then the entirely new and outer
third line of defense has been erected
and military experts say the fortitica-
tions as a whole are far more formid-
able than those which resisted the
/ former siege.

More in His Flock.-There was a GER
tain bishop who had a pleasant habit
of chatting with anybody he might
meet during his country walks. One
day he came across a lad who was
looking after some pigs by the road
side, and the bishop pausing to ask
him what he was doing, that being his
usual opening to conversation.
"Moindin' swoine." the lad replied
stolidly.
The bishop nodded his head
thoughtfully.
"Ah, is that so?" he commented
"And how much do you earn week.?
Two shillin's" was the reply.
"Only two shillings? remarked the
bishop. Then he continued, pleasant
ly. 81, too, am a shepherd, but get

any tune that sounded like a wedding

One evening, however, John Henry

the heart of the fairy one. Hope de-
veloped into certainty when the young

is leaving out the long Lee-Enfield
rifle which is used by a part of the
British army. Since 1906 it has been
gradually replaced by a shorter wea-
pom, and now the long Lee-Enfield is
used by the soldiers Of the second line
of defense. That rifle weighs nine
pounds four ounces, and with the bay
onet attached it weighs 10 pounds
3 1-2 ounces.
With the bayonet attached the Aus
trian gun is the lightest, weighing a
quarter of an ounce less than nine
pounds, and the French soldier again
has to carry the heaviest, his piece
with bayonet weighing 10 pounds l IL
ounces.
These rifles all have magazines. The
French is a tube through which the
cartridges pass to the shooting cham
ber, and the others have box or a
charge fitted to the gun just under the
stock and in front of the trigger
guard. This charge on the Mauser
and the Mannlicher holds five cart
ridges, and with one shot in the barrel
the soldier has six bullets ready for
use to be discharged as fast as he can
pull the trigger. The French carry in
the tube eight cartridges and the Brit
ish in their magazines carry ten car
tridgeS.
The British use the shortest rifle. 1t
measures three feet S.5 inches and is
five inches shorter than the rifle used
until after the Boer war, which meas
ured four feet IA inches. The Aus
trian rifle is next, four feet two inches,
and then comes the Belgian, four feet
2.25 inches: the Russian, four feet
S.S inches. and the French, four feet
3.l2 inches. The difference in length
between the short British and the
French arm is Il fraction over seven
inches and the French rifle is an inch
and three quarters longer than the
German.
With the bayonet attached the
French rifle measures Il fraction un-
der six feet, or to be exact, five feet
l1.S4 inches. This may give them an
advantage in close fighting. The Ger
man rifle with bayOnet attached meas
ures five feet 9.15 inches. or Il fraction
over two inches shorter than the
French weapon. The Russian arm
measures five feet nine inches, the
British five feet II inches, the Belgian
four feet 11.75 inches and the Austri-
an four feet lis inches. This shows
that the French bayonet is the long
est. being 2O.72 inches, tn 2O.61 inches
the British and Russian 17.2 inches,
the Belgian 90 inches and the Austri-
an the shortest. 90 inches.
The Germans We're the first to use
the pointed or SpitZer bullet as it is
called. This was in 1905, and France
followed the German example at once
It's advantage is that it tlattens the
| trajectory and increases consequently
the danger space. The German cart
