Since the American civil war weap- ‘ mile! destruction have changed so much their character that an army using such guns as we employed then would be _ 'wimd out as quickly as the Chinese , - Zhuve been, if fighting with a fee equip- ’ pad with the latest cannon and rifles. It ‘is not greatly to our credit as a nation that our own little regular army was the last one to be furnished with tho shew guns. The change has been made. howover. and the United States army is now nearly up to the times The new weap- , one with Which it has been supplied are described in The Century by Victor .Louis Mason. At the time of the war ‘v've had only smooth bore iron cannon :and mortars, muzzle loading. These have been replaced by breechioading lleel rifled cannon and mortars which are “marvels of power, endurance and pccuracy. " A great revolution in army tactics was wrought with the invention of smokeless powder. With the use of this, each army will be able henceforth to see the enemy’s evolutions and flank ovements. The United States army has at yet been supplied with this smokeless ‘ wder, but will shortly be. In place of “its“: . ' . rifle. sending the big, broad bullets crashing and slashing into things, we now have an infantry rifle with a cali- ber of only threetenths of an inch. It is a far more deadly instrument than the old one was. The small caliber hall has an accuracy. a penetration and a range unknown to the world 30 years ago. The new infantry arm is , also a mega nine rifle or a single flro rifle at will. The largest cannon are for coast de- fense, and they are now guns of 12 inch caliber. Bigger mouthed cannon than that have been made in England, as large as 16.25 inches across, but they Were failures. Ilivontions havo been made since our war that enable artillery oflcers to get the range of an enemy's guns with for greater accuracy than was ossiblo then. Perhaps in future we so much lead and powder will no longer be wasted. Besides the great is inch cannon we have new machine guns that will fire by electricity 1,800 shots . a minute. The powder with which the ' infantry will be supplied is a much higher explosive than the old kind of black powder was. .. The new weapons were carefully se- lected from the latest and best models in use among European nations. The board of experts their the best, wherev- er they could find it. Therein something infinitely touching in the innocence of those two Phlladeb pills clilcials who didn't know how the automatic telephone stock got stuck fast to them. There is indeed. The stock was left on their doorstep». so to speak, unbcknownst and wnlfllkc. They heard by the merest accident that stock was recorded on the telephone company's books in their names. They went to look for themselves and found it was indeed so. Some wicked men had put them down there. and than let them into this great scandal. Dear. dear!

When Gangrene came together in December a bill was in- troduced to allow instructors to be de- tailed from the army for the purpose, just as to schools and colleges. _ There is no doubt of the carnestndts of the movement, as indicated by the public meetings held and the measures intro- duced into Stale legglslntllrt's.

This idea of training American schbol- boys to arms is not it new one. It has been under consideration at times for generations. Ellajar-(ico. Macomh, who whs at one time the hl'nlul‘ major general commanding the army. was very earnest upon this point. He held that the mili- tary instruction of youth was based upon the broad principle that all rudimentary training could best be acquired in early years: "Suppose, for instance, that the teach- ers of schools should br- licensed in each State by the proper authorities: that such of the teachers as Would instruct their pupils in the military art as far on the school of the company should be com- pensated at a certain rate per boy, say 81 per annum. to be paid by the general government. on the certificate of the in- spector of the district or brigade within which the school might be situated, who should make a report to the adjutant general of the State of the number of boys at the schools within his district or bri- gade, to be laid before the governor of the State, for the information of the legis- lature; and also a similar return to the war department for the use of Congress; and that each college in the Union should be endowed by Congress with a professor of the military art in the higher branches. The plan is not so difficult as one would at flrst suppose, for it Would be only necessary in each school to instruct three or four of the most intelligent and best THE Hunter co. ll IWAII‘I'B ITI‘I‘I'. sound, lllllcll 2,0[ltlllll3931 Patent Leather Shoes, With Black Elisha.
