Oddly enough. IL was the former

but thus far without reports Of blood
shed.
The lnsurrection which, while not
altogether unlocked for, broke out in
formidable force with unexpected sud-
denness. had Its inception among the
vanquished troops brought from
Smyrna TO the island of Mytilene and
Chios, and among the soldiers at Ga
lonIkl. Strangely enough however,
these two revolts seem to have had
different objects. the former aimed at
the overthrow OF the government and
King Constantine, and the latter at the
defense OF Thrace against the Turks.

Warrington wo Instruments
which 1t is declared, will revolution;ze
the art of coast defense, are being ex'
hibited In the ordnance department

The instruments comprise a system

Grated and automatically adjusted.
They add, subtract, multiply, divide

Visitors TO the larger coast defense
stations often wonder how 1t is pos
sible for the gunners to hit a ship with
a five or slx-foot ~projectile shot from
a gun 20 or 80 feet In length, when the
enemy is as for off as 80 miles. In the
days of the Civil war. when small
cannon shot iron balls weighing 10 or
20 pounds, the range was usually point
blank, the enemy ship doomed large as
a target and the gun pointer sighted
by gazing along the barrel.
The greater distances. weights and
charges used In modern mechanical
warfare Gull for more accurate fire.
In future artillery duels, army officers
say. salvos VIII be exchanged at the
rate of two or three a minute, and
between volleys changes must be made
In firing directions. AS there is so
little time for this by hand calcula-
lions, some accuracy of fire is lost to
speed.
