T b e indirect method o f firing by
artillery batteries is now in almost
universal use and has been ¡»n o ­
ticed by tbe batteries o f New York
state for some years. T b e French
are given credit for the adoption
o f indirect filing, but it has been
adopted by all modern armies. In
indirect firing the artillerymen
shoot at a target which they can­
not see. T h ey can shoot from the
refir o f a hill over tbe crest and h it
the enemy or the target with dead­
ly regularity. In fact, artillery o f­
ficers assert that modern field gun*
can be fired more accurately by in­
direct firing methods, properly di­
rected, than by direct firing, where
the target is in sight o f the artil­
lerymen.
Indirect firing is based on tbe use
o f tbe triangle, and it* application
requires tbe officers to be skilled in
the use o f geometry and trigonom­
etry. T b e officer* are stationed at
some little distance from their guns
and communicate their orders by
field telephone and fiag signals. T h e
officers are posted at some point,
usually the top o f a hill, a church
tower or something o f the sort,
where they can observe the position
o f tbe enemy through powerful
glasses.
The officers’ station is one point
o f tbe triangle, the cannons’ an­
other, and tbe enemy or the target
the third point o f the angle. T h e
base is the line between the officers*
post and the position o f the can­
nons. This is s known distance,
end the two angles at the base are
ascertained. Then tbe use o f trigo­
nometry makes it easy fo r one who
knows now to fifed the distance o f
the enemy or target.
Then the

¡eld telephone or by signal flags to
give their guns a certain elevation

EARLY
BANK RUNS.
The Dwteh Fleet In the Themes Started
One In London In 101 $.
Tbe first run o f which wa have sa y
account In the history o f banking oc­
curred in the year 1007. It was quick­
ly stopped. At that date tbe bankers
of England were tbe goldsmiths, who
bad s short tim e before begun to add
banking to their ordinary bustneae and
had become very numerous and In­
fluential. lu
in 1600 the Dutch fleet sailed up the
Thame*, blew up tbe fo rt a t Sbeerness,
net fir* to Chatham and burned-some
■hips o f tbe line. This created tbe
greatest consternation In London, espe­
cially among those wbo had Intrusted
their money to the bankers, fo r It was
kuowa thst tbe U tter had advanced
large sums to the king fo r public pur­
poses. and It was rumored that now
tbe king would not be able to pay the
money. To quell the panic a royal
proclamation was Issued to tbe effect
that payments by tbe exchequer to the
bankers would be made. asusuaL
In 1071 there was another run on tbe
London banka, when Charles II. shut
up the exchequer and refused to pay
tbe bankers either principal or Inter­
est o f the money which they had ad­
vanced. On this occasion many o f the
banks and their customers
ruined.—London Standard.
