the gun limbered up, and, after galloping down the range, brought into action at an unknown range. The fring in this case, after the first two or three sighting shots, was exceedingly good, every shot telling Then, after rapid fire, the gun was taken off the carriage at once, by one man, who carried it away on his shoulder, showing, however quick the fire was or whatever number of rounds were expended, that the 'gun never got too hot to be handled.

The third, trial was a novelty, A Dundonald carriage was galloped up in front of the targets, unlimbered, and the horse taken away, when another gun opened fire on it at between five and six hundred yards. The result was that. little or no damage was done to the carriage, though there were plently of shots put on the shield and wheels-an eminently satisfactory demonstration.

All the yeomanry officers who were present as well as the experts were much pleased with the trial, which was certainly one of the best and most practical that the company have had Four cases of jamming occurred owing to the operator not having seen that his cartridges were home in the belt before commencing to five. But twenty seconds put the matter right, and the gun was in action again. The simpl city of the construction can be gathered from the fact that the whole weapon can be stripped and the parts reassembled in one minute and twenty-nine seconds, which was done,

With regard to the harnessing of the Dundo- nald carriage, it was suggested by an artillery officer that the horse should be supposed to be shot and that a fresh horse should he put in its place to take the gun out of action. This was done without any previous practice or drill in under two minutes, and could be done in half the time with practice. There are two or three important improvements being made in the carriage, and a service cart which when completed will make it nearly perfect.

reaction,

The English commitice came to some practical conclusions of interest chiefly to paper-manitacturers, such, for instance, as that the sizing should contain not more than two per cent of resin in the dry state that paper ought to be finished up with some normal excess of alum, which gives them a slight acid reaction: that papers should contain a minimum of chlorates; and then ja a general way, A paper designed to last as long as possible should contain at least 70 per cent of fiber-cotton, hemp, or linen.Translation made for The Literary Digat,

OUR NAVY.

The capacity of the Modern Fleet of Great Britain to meet on more than equal terms the modern fleets of any possible combinaton of the other Powers appears to be incontestable. In auxiliary and subsidiary resources, in bat- tleships and cruisers not of the first class in dare, displacement or armament, in speed, economy, and capacity of construction at home in well equipped naval bases and protected coaling stations abroad, in the immense pre. dominance of our forces of destroyers, and in the overwhelming preponderance of our mer cantile marine alike in swift steamers for scouts and in slower ships for transports, our superior ity is in some rescepts unapproachable, in none seriously disputable. But it behoves us not to be co confident. Our comparisons have been of material only. But the strength of a flect consists, now as ever, in the spirit and skilt of its personnel, and in its finess for modem,war. It is not the gun that wins the victory, but the man behind the gun. Weinust take care that the man behind the gun is the best that we can make him, and that the gun before him is the best that we can give him. Have we any ground for misgiving in either respect ? Well, the discus. sion that has lately taken place in our columas proves, at any rate, that naval opinion is by no means unaniinous as to the best training to be giving to the morden seament and the fact that the whole of our effective amoured cruisers are yet afloat are largely armed with semi-obsolete guns seems to speak for itself. Nevertheless, it behoves us now more than ever to be quite clear that the training we give to the modern senmen is the best that human wisdont and experience can devise, and that when he gets behind the gun it is the best that modern science can invent. Either the ships armed with antiquated and outclassed guns ought to be rearmed at once, or wamust write them down as largely depreciated in fighting value and spend more money in build. ing ships to replace them as soon as may be Times

Modern paper has a bad reputation There is a general belief that it is of poor quality and flimsy texture compared with that made ball a century ago. Most of our paper in how manufactured from wood-pulp, rags being used now in making expensive writing paper only a fact due to the enormous activity in the pro duction of printed matter. To furnish paper for our hundreds of thousands of popular novels and out Sunday newspapers, the world's supply of mags would go but a little way, our modern paper-mills chew up whole forests Info pulp and still the cry is "more" Yet there are some precautions that should and can be taken by paper inanufacturers.
