Th Wew SuperGun T. The Temple gun, if reports of its .power are tnurtworthy, is surely the most remarkable propulsive weapon ever Invented. It eeems to shoot with ar greater force than any other gun, and practically without recoil. It is claimed for it that a large model can send a five-ton projectile 300 miles. This Tnyi prove to be true, incred ible ue it sounds, and yet the inven tion may not hnve the revolutionary effect on warfare that some comment em bssume. The Germans' super-gun that was used to bombard Paris in-. dicated both the merits and the de fects of any such long-range 'weapon. The Germon gun was a psychological weapon rather thnn a physical one. Its effect was produced mainly on people's mindii, It was intended 'to terrify rather than to destroy. The military destruction actually wrought in lari as i result of weeks of 'bom bardment, was almost negligible. . It has to be recognized that a gun's range increases, its accuracy de creaaca. Vot every additional mile the sighting becomes more difficult, . and any local vibration or air movement or imperfection in the mechanism pro duces a greater error of marksman ship. If the guns in tho St. Gobain forest could not make a ciilculatotl hit on any building in Parris, t 'a distance of 70 miles, but were redueed to tho necessity of merely firing at random and trusting to hit the big city somewhere or other, how can any one expect to shoot straight for !i00 miles? Tiulk of hitting u fott or a battleship, at a distance of even 100 milos,' with the best aid that chn be given tho marksman by 'airplane and wireless, iB absurd. ' Fortunr.teiy the new weapon is des cribed also lis having remarkable Jos aibilities in the utiliaition of its power for construction mechanical work. This may well prove to be its chief value. And this, one may hope, will .point the way bo a great human triumph of the future, when . ovcnyi powerful weapon shuN bo used Jilfwrse, for the purposes of peace. Turning a supor-cannon "into a pile-driver or drilling-machine or a rock-blaster or a, lifter of big weights is the modern way of turning tiworos- into plow share's.''

It was not because I the volume of business rlone in Ameri icn i.iuired J !7,:ifi.7M additional small currency to handle it. It is pmlialily that some nnrhal innroase was reipiireil and some coins undoubt edly retired from active life, having outlived their usefulness to battered old age.
