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."

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.
