Thls operatiOn of watching each shell

say that in battle hotion not more than
tiVo shells a minute can be fired from
u.iy one gun, with any hope of making
good firing. •-Under these •Circumstances
the advantage of the 6 -inch and 7,5 inch
weapons disappears.
Tte 12 inch gun which is to be moun-
ted:J.11.41e Dreadnought is not, however,
the Weapon 'hitherto carried by British
men-otwar. As the result of long ex -
pertinent a 12 inch weapon of 45- calibre
has been evolved, which is Maimed to
be the best yet constructed for use afloat.
It may be noted, that the' newest 12
Inch gun of• the British navy, though it
fires the same weight of projectile as the
gun which is being mounted in the Am-
erican ships of the Connecticut .and.New
Hampshire classes, does notaittain guite
aa high a velocity by about 100 loot sec-
onds. „
The. new 12 inch gun, like all of those
ntounted in 'recent British ships, haa
belt MIER on the wire 'system, the ad-
vantage of which is held to be so con-
- sidereble in Great Britein in assuring
the strength and soundness of materi-
al a to outweigh all the advantages
which have been urged by foreign gun
manufacturers. Many early 12 inch
guns built on the wire system gave
some trouble, but the newest weapons
are being made with a shoulder,so as
to prevent the inner tube frotn slipping
forward under the great pressure to
whteh it is subjected, and increaSed care
bding exercised 4n thetesting of ma-
terial.
'The principle adopted in the design af
the Dreadnought has been to construct
five entirely seperate redoubts, each car -
ring a revolving turret fitted far two
12 -Inch guns. Each of these circular re-
doubts will be heavily arinored over IN
full length, and for fighting purposes
they well be eritireW distinot.
Around these five ,fortreStes the ship
has been constructed in such a way ati to
place two of the 12 inch guns on the
forecastle 28 feet above the water line,

ship and two others on the broadside.

CIRCUMSTANTIAL EVIDENCE.
A Case in 'Which the Jury's Foreman
Saved the Accused.
Very eminent legal authoritieS agree
that as to theslaCts of a case the jury
ismore likely to be right than the
Judge, says the London Standard. This
week, however, we have had another
addition to the lengthy list of Anaheim;
of (he judge censuring a jury upon lts
finding. "As dear a case as had ever
come before him," he said, as he order-
ed the jury to go home. Possibly •the
judge was right. It was well to remeiii-
ber, however, that had all the cases
which have appeared so clear to the
judges gone as their lordships desired,
more than a few impasent men ''would
have been sent to the gallows. An in-
stance comes to bind, one of the most
extraordinary in the history of our le-
gal system, the account of which we
owe to. the man who tried and presid-
ed over the trial, Lord Chief Justice
Dyer, This was a "clear case" of mur-
der. The victim was, • found stabbed
death in a field wood, by his side the
pitchfork with which the deed had been
done. The mon who owned the fork
was arrested, and the blood-stained suit
he had worn was &mid hidden in a
milttresa.
Short of testimony from any one who
had seen the crime actually committed,
there was not a link missing from the
chain of evidence against tne prisoner.
It was in vain that he pleaded not
guilty; everything was so conclusively
clear against him. A verdict of guilty
was expected immediately from the jury
but the foreman asked that as "the life"
of a ferloW creature was at stake the
jury might be allowed to retire. The
judge did not understand why they
should do so in so' simple a case; still,
the jury had its wish. R did not rettion.
The eourt adjdurned for luncheon; the
jury dld not some back in the afternoon,
and. In spite- of several anxious inquir-
ies from the bench, lt had not made up
its mind when the court rose for the
day -there was one man holding out.
The jury was locked up for the night,
and in the morning was brought into
court to return a verdict of not guilty!
This was a pbser, and the judge dis-
missed the jury, saying, "The blood of
the deceased lies.at your door."
Private inquiry by the -judge elicited
the fact that the foreman, a man of
unblemished reputation and of consid-
erable estate, had been the rause ot' the
verdict, which the rest had been aterv-
ed into wanting. The judge sent for
this gentleman, ad in ht s private room
begged him to ea•plain the mystery of
his obduracy and the amazing finding
of his fellows. first pledging himself to
preserve inviolate any confidence which
the other might repose in him. Then

'Few Egyplian village scenes appeal.
more forcibly to the cultivated taste or
artistic sense than that of the village-
znaidan fetching water from the river
or the well. The lithe, 'erotic, well de--
veloped figure of the peasant damsel
seems singularly noble in its homely
simplicity, draped in its loase dark blue
garment, the beautifully moulded earth-
enware pitcher poised gracefully upon
the • shapely head. Her long ot
coarse crepe, tt, is true, is probably half
drawn to conceal her face from prying
eyes, or, when she wears no veil - and
often, owing to the exigencies of field
labor, the burko (face veil) 19 dispensed
with -its office is performed by gather.

corner of her mouth. Yet the Very poor
aro not always punctilious about keep-
ing their faces hidden .from strangers,
and so sometimes one sees the indigo or
greenish blue tattoo designs on the fore-
head or below tbe- under lip. On reach-
ing the river, 'sere her shadow seems
to kiss the ripples, the modern Rebelcah
tucks her skirts of her raiment between ,
her knees, enters the water to cleanse
and ffil her water jar (balass), and then, e
with a last feminine touch ef adjust -
'tient to the folds of her dress, she rais-
es the heavy burden into position and i
bears it away, spilling nothing of its
limpid contents, She never loses her
balance, having made a practice from
early childhood of carrying all burdens ,
on her head and having thus acquired ;
a naturally upright carriage and statu- '
esque gait. a

of bean known as "Minot," each pod t
of which contains a doien beans of Mt- 0

ing them is that of pounding up the
beans and making of them a delicious G
preserve, known as "kokati," the neces-
sary consistence, being obtained by the b
addition of a kind Of gum produced from A
seaweed. Another kind of climbing A,
vegetable, the "kudzu," IR used both for N

a kind of flour being obtained, and a
from the latter a species of cloth which e
