AMAZING SUPERSTITION IN

TRIPOLI.

Letters from Tripoli report an amazing state of affairs consequent upon the "report" that the end of the world was to come on the 13th of November. The Ismelites sent their wives to pray in the synagogues, and most workmen The Arabs marched through the ceased, work, town in processions, headed by marabouts carrying the standards of the mosques and firing their guns Debtors refused to pay their debis, so that trade was almost paralysed The announcement that the end of the world was at hand produced some effect at Tanis also, though not to an extent to be compared with Tripoli. One of the cases before the Tunis native court was that of an Atub who sued. Jew.for a small sum of money. The debtor acknowledged the debt, but asked for fifteen days' delay to pay it. The Arab refused to grant the delay on the ground that the world would be destroyed before it expired. The Judge sent the debtor to prison,

WHAT A MODERN HOWITZER IS. Hesketh, S. B.

(Morning Star.)

The 6-Inch howitzer which will be included. in the equipment of the siege train for the Boer forts at Pretoria is a strong short gun for throwing high explosives with safety to the thrower. No, other gun is so safe with lyddite shells.

It is made entirely of steel, of three thick- nesses, and its total length is 94 inches. Its weight is 30cwt., and it is fired either from a carriage, or from a solid platform made of oak baulks tied with steel.

THE RECOIL BUFFERS.

The howitzer carriage Ims a cradlo fitted with hydmulic buffers, which limit the receil of the gun to about 18 inches, and which pos- sesses springs to return it to the firing position after it has been discharged. The cradle is of steel, and the gun slides in its upper part. The gun is elevated by a hand wheel, and the carriage permits it to be fired either point blank at an angle of 35deg., while when it is removed from its carriage and placed on a platform it may be fired at an angle of 7odeg. TO DROP SHELLS.

Its use is to drop those terrible lyddite shells perpendicularly on the heads of the enemy.

The projectiles used are common. shell of cast steel, weighing 1181b., and lyddite shell, which weighs 122. The latter projectile is of forged steel, but this has not yet been passed. The cartridges which are used consist of a 14 oz. bundle of cordite which may be fired zither by friction tube or by an electric explo- der--an electro magnet with an armature of the Siemen's shuttle type wound with a single coil

of wire.

At a range of 5,200 yards and at an elevation of 42 deg. the flight of the shell would be only half a minute with the full charge of cordite. The lyddlite shell contains. 19lb, of lyddite..

A HOWITZER'S CREW."

There are ten men to load and fire each gun, and the limber carries a great assortment of tools. A lifting-jack, a maul, axes, buckets, handspikes, a box of Russian tallow, are only a few of the things that the howitzer needs.

The following interesting particulara in con: nection with the steadily increasing importance of the coal mining industry in the Chota Nag pur Division are given in the Annual Report

Coal of the Commissioner:

he mining," writes, "is at present confined to the sub- divisions of Giridh and Gobindpur, in the Hazaribagh and Manbhum districts, respective- ly, as these are the only parts of the division where the coal measures are accessible by rail. But with the opening of the Daltonganj-Baroon Railway, on which work is now in progress, the Palatnad coal-fields will become available for 96.

while the projected line up the Damuda valley, the necessity for which has so often been pressed upon Government by the local officers and the Bengal Chamber of Commerce, would throw open the resources of the valuable Kamakuru coal measures and of other parts of the interior of the division which are now inac- cessible. In this connection I would draw attention to the great activity apparent at pre- sent in developing the coal industry in this part of the country, During the past year, with the sanction of the Board of Revenue, I have granted two important coaling conces sions in the Pachete Encumbered Estate in Manbhum to the Equitable Coal Company. Limited, and another, comprising the coal fields in the Katras Estate, in the same district, to two new Companies, vi, the Nawaghar Coal Company and the Lutchepur Coal Com pany, lately formed for the purpass by Messrs. Bird and Company, of Calcutta. Another application by the Bengal Coat Company for the grant of the coal-mining rights in thirty- five other villages in the Manbhum district has since been filed, and I may inention as a notice- able fact that this concession is only asked for in prospect of the part of the country where these villages are situated being. opened up by a railway, and one stipulation. mado is that the annual payment of the minimum rate of royalty to be fixed under the lease is to be deferred until the conl.fields have in this manner been rendered accessible. Many other similar cases may be cited to show the desirability of opening up the interior of the Chota Nagpur Division, by Im proved means of communication, with a view INSULATORS, to the proper development of its immenso mi neral resources—Advocate of India.
