The compositor, who has been ac-

have been responsible for the fixing Of
the festival of st. Alban. the first Brit

by the English and Roman churches

days in both calendars, but in the
Roman calendar st. Adams day ;is

In the British army the machine gun
is the Maxim; the French use the
Hotchkiss. or Puteaux; Austrians EN-
ploy the Schwarzlose and Germans the
Maxim. In all cases machine guns are
attached to the infantry forces. usually
In the proportion of two guns per bat
talon, or 1000 men.
These guns fire rifle cartridges at Inn
mense speed by mechanical means. and
usually the kick, or recoil, Of the gun is
used for the purpose of reloading. 1t Is
interesting to note that in test forty
two British first class shots engaged
against a machine gun, each firing at
the same target for one minute; the
gun discharged 228 rounds and made
sixty nine hits: the forty-two marks

lens that could not be solved by the
average citizen. Today business mat
ters are more specialized, and in many
cases are intricate and puzzling to the
most learned because so much modern
chicanery has come in to make the
rich richer and the poor poorer. But
the legislators go right on recklessly
increasing the number of laws and re-
pealing few, with no time to devote
to the psychological study of the i'm
portant subjects affected. A course
