On my asking IL there We're libraries and
facilities for study in the next world he said
there certainly were. but that instead OF
studying books they usually studied the
actual objects themselves"
Before leaving Australia Sir Arthur was
able to take birdseye view Of his tour
and It's results. He had in that country ad-
dressed twenty-five meetings averaging
1000 people in each or $4,000 people in all
In his view the tour was n complete SUCCESS
He writes
The enemies of our cause were longing

most unscrupulously announced it so q was

was sad to think we should never see .he

old material form"
Sir Arthur remarks significantly In con-
clusion. and what he saws may ftly enough
conclude these brief quotations from his
peculiar travel book:

clergymen whose bigotry has hndered de-
velopment. He quotes from a written lament
from no less a person than the Bloody
Duke of Alva, who describes the hell from
which he was rescued by what seems TO me
a great merciful dispensation of Almighty
God"
II was present" writes DR.. Doyle "at the
return Of one alleged Anglican Bishop OF the
eighteenth century who spoke with great in
tolerance. When asked IL he had seen the
Christ he answered that he had not and
that he could not understand why not.
When asked If he still considered the Christ
20 be God he threw up his hand and
shouted violently: Stop That is BIAS

He was succeeded by a very noisy and
bigoted Presbyterian divine who declared
that no one but devils would come to a
seance. On being asked whether that meant
that he was himself devil he became
abusive.
IL quote all this as a curious sidelight into
some developments of the subject which are
familiar enough to the student but not TO
the general public"
While the author fears that his psychic
experiences push his travels into the back
ground. he cannot refrain from giving some
conversation held with one Bailey. an
cpport medium. Through this medium Sir
Arthur heard long address from Dr. Whit

New Anti-Aircraft Gun
Sends Stream of Big Bullets

To demonstrate the efficiency of this gun
the ordnance officers sent out dozen toy
balloons to serve as targets. Two of the
machine guns were put into action against
the balloons, half the number being pierced
by the cartridges that were fired. Standing
beside the gun it was possible to follow the
rain of steel directed at the flying objects
The line was much the same as the stream
of water sent out by hose. The bullets
were three-tenths of an inch in diameter

a deafening report and heavy black smoke
that settles down around the great piece of
ordnance. One of these guns, on a dis
appearing carriage, is intended for the
Notifications Of New York. Another
which is to be used elsewhere, is on a
stationary carriage. The shell is hurled a
distance of thirty-five miles, far exceeding
any effective range of any other gun.
The heaviest guns that are moble-that
is, that may be sent from place to place as
operations require-are mounted on rail
road carriages. These are 12-inch guns
of various models. Many railroad cars are

Great Crater 90 Feet Deep
From 1000 Pound Air Bomb
Across from the administration building
about a mile is a great crater in the
ground. looking much like the excavation
for ten story building. 1t is forty feet
deep and measures hundred feet across.
1t was caused by the dropping of 1000
pound bomb, by all weight and measure
ment the deadliest piece of ammunition
ever constructed.
This bomb was dropped by Capt NJ r.
Carolin of the air service, whose job it is
to test out from an airplane the deadly
bombs that are devised by the ordnance
officers. He carried it up in a Handley
Page airplane a feat in itself that involved
the greatest risk.
Had the machine performed badly at the
taking off a crash might have resulted
which would have destroyed not only the
occupants of the airplane but also many
of the buildings of the proving grounds
and with them large number of the per-
sonnel.
Capt. Carolin dropped the bomb from an
altitude of 5000 feet, and it was possible,
mile and half away, to follow its course
to the ground. 1t hit long before any evil
dence of the fact could be observed. Then
there rushed up to height of 500 feet a
mighty sheet of flame and earth and smoke.
Soon there came across the field tremen-
dous, but mufied, roar.
In observing the crater afterward l found
that the force of the explosion was so great
that the bomb, SO per cent. of which was
INT, had completely destroyed itself.
There were one or two tiny pieces of the
casing, but that was all.
A hundred men digging for week could
not have caused such hole in the ground
For 500 feet around there was pulverized
earth. The leaves were torn off all the
nearby trees and the branches twisted.
The practical purpose of such a bomb as
