MACHINE GUNS.

From the Washington Post
In view Of the fact Congress al the
last session appropriated S12,00O,0O0
for the purchase of machine guns,
there could be no better time than the
present for a definite settlement of
the controversy over the relative mer-
its OF the various types of these weap-
ons The types under discussion are
the so-called English type known as
the Vickers gun, which has been
adopted by Cen Crozier. chief Of ord
nance as the preferred type of ma
chine gun for the army; the Spring
field gun. otherwise known as the
Benet MERCER, which has been used
in the army for seven years. and the
Lewis gun. invented by Col. Isaac N.
Lewis, a retired officer OF the United
States army.
The Lewis gun was rejected by an
army testing board. and there would
have been no controversy had II not
been for the fact that recent reports
from Europe indicate that this type of
gun has been used extensively in the
European war with excellent results.
Il has been used by the English and
the Benet-Mercier gun has been USED
by the French The advocates Of the
Lewis gun insist that its superior
efficiency has been demonstrated by
the European war. and that a serious
mistake was made when II was re-
jected by the United States Govern
ment
Gen. Crozier says that there has
been no evidence that the conclusions
Of the American testing board as to
the relative merits OF the various
types would not be borne out by a
comparison Of their performance in
the two allied armies. He says that
II there has been error in the conclu-
sions it is an error by the best agen-
cies which the War Department has
been able 10 create for considering
such subjects
The Lewis gun has been strongly
advocated by Mai Gen. Leonard
Wood. and is preferred by a large
numker of other officers. Gen CrozieE
has been opposed to the Lewis gun in
the form in which it was submitted
and has advocated the Vickers gun. He

VITA the closing Of the peach season
word comes from Berlin that the Har-

the fruit averaged 81 600 a car. The

GENERAL NILES TESTUDO AND

From the New York Sun.
This new and wonderful war tor
toise.' or travelling fort, which is the
sensation of the day in the war zone,
is described as the invention OF Col
onel Swinton and Major Stern, OF the
British army The plans and specifi-
cations OF the machine have not
reached the public and the element Of
mystery enters into all accounts Of its
operations on the battlefield.
When the strange machine becomes
better known TO the world we shall
learn in what degree the Swinton tor
toise is related 10 or descended from
the celebrated Roman testudo which
General Nelson A. Miles was advocat-
ing. fourteen or fifteen years ago. as
one OF the war machines OF the future.
Several OF these machines, we be-
lieve, were constructed for the use
Of the army and actually employed in
the practice field. but they were OF
course no more than crude indications
Of the idea which General Miles de-
sired to develop.

also contended that the Benet-Mer-
cier gun is superior TO the Lewis

IN view Of the fact that Congress
has left the selection OF the type Of
gun to the War Department, any mis-
take that may have been made would
seem easy Of correction, and there is
hardly any need for an extended con-
troversy. In the light OF the European

cision made before any OF the s12,-

Was On the Road
for Two Years

Professor c J Jones, at the Uni
versity of Nevada, has recently re-
ceived a goniometer which has quite
a history behind it. The instrument
which is used in measuring the angles
OF crystal minerals, was shipped from
Germany i'll July, 1914, and for near
ly two years has been buffeted about
by the war conditions. It arrived at
its final destination more by chance
than intent.
The instrument consists of an or
binary electric light which furnishes
rays on the crystal and a pair of lens
marked with "a cross light. The
lenses, are focused and the mineral
adjusted so that the cross lines and
edge OF the crystal coincide and a .e-
Election then indicates the supplement
Of the crystal angle. Any mineral
can be determined when its crystal
formation is known.
Professor Jones will. in the near
future, institute a course in the min
eralogy department which will con
sist of the study and measurement
of crystal minerals by the use OF this
gOniOmeter.-JOurnal
