By supplying ammunition under oast
price the Swiss authorities have done
much to encouragethille and revolver
!shooting. Some of the ranges are
really magnificent. This applies espe-
etelly to those at Zeirtch, which are I
considered to be without equal any- i
where. Many of these ranges cost I
0200,000 apiece:
Ile number of eibooting clubs is
• remarkable when the size of the
mountain nation is considered. In this
• population of 3,000,000 there were no
fewer than 3,446 rifle clubs, with a to-
tal mexabershrip • of 210,000 in 1898;
these numbers compare with 2,914
clubs and 125,000 members in 1889.
As to the rang -es there are a large
number soattered up and down the
cantons. Thera were 2,735 inspected
in 1398, and many of these were really
exultant:. It will be of great 'inter-
est to know that the largest proper -

Peter is the one who answered the

Peter alone, and not to the rest of

was addressed to them all. Peter
answered for them all, as we may be-

tbat they believed what he believed,
