The annual report of Gen. G. 1.. Gillespie, chief of engineers of the I lilted States army, presents a comprehensive view of the condition of fort InVat Ions throughout the country. After giving a list of the 31 points at which projects for permanent sea-coast defenses have been adopted, the report says that the defense of the Great Iakes and the St. Lawrence Is under consideration, and also that proj- i ects for defenses for Porto Rlobv Hawaii. Guam. Manila and Sublg Bay have been approved. "It Is believed," the rejHjrt continues, "that the time has come when It will be no longer possible to ignore the question of the Insular defenses. The navy department Is properly Insist ent that all Its Important coaling sta tions should receive proper defensive protection to keep off predatory attacks from possible hostile fleets." SKA-COAST WORKS. According to the report the sea coast defenses are now somewhat more than 60 per cent completed; 26 of the principal harbors of the United States have a sufficient number of heavy guns and mortarB mounted to permit an ef fective defense against naval attack, and during the past two years considerable progress has been made In the Installa tion of an adequate rapid-fire armament. now the matter of first Importance. 1 lie existing projects comprise 3S6 heavy guns, 1.294 rapid-fire guns and 644 mor tars. The total cost of the engineer ing work Is estimated at $50,000,000. In cluding what has been i-ompleted as well as what rewialns to be done. Recom mendation Is made that authority be given for the resumption of the manu facture of mortars, which. It Is claimed, are an effective defame within their range. Up to the present time provision has been made for emplacing 331 heavy guns, 483 rapid-Are guns and 376 12 Inch mortars. During the pust year the addition to the completed armament of the coast amounted to eight 12-Inch guns, three K-lnch guns. 20 rapid-lire guns and 34 mortars.

"I Hiring the pust fiscal year an elec tric light and power plant was Installed In the 8-lnch battery and an electric-light outfit placed In both the mortar battery and the 6-lneh battery.

"I am tired talk ing to you and trying to get you to do what's right. You are growing lazy and forgetful of your duties In Zlon. If you don't get up earlier I propose to spanlc you and make you more aealous." John Alexander Dowle addressed 1.600 of his chosen people In the above strenuous-language at Zlon City.

"Some of our officials have been play ing the groundhog with us," said Dowle. "We discharged a few of them, and there will bo some others removed If the funds intrusted to them are not faith fully administered." MAXIMO GUVS IVTZSIBIiS. A curious and Interesting experiment was recently made by- the military au thorities at Aiderstiot, England. The guns and carriages of a battery or artil lery were painted with daubs and streaks of red, blue and yellow, and were then placed, in pouitian on outlying hills. The odd way in which they were painted made them harmonize so perfectly with their surroundings that they could not be located at a distance of 3,000 yards, even with the aid of Held glasses. The officers all knew In what direction the guns lay. and yet they could not point them out. Some horse-artillery, sent out to engage the guns In mimic battle, advanced within 1,000 yards before dis covering them. House Coats A sensible and highly appreciated Christmas Gilt.
