Geneva, Switzerland, Saturday, March M.—Uwe-General von Rohn°, a German authority on ordnance and inspector of artillery, gives, in a maga- zine of which he is editor, additional details he regard to the long distance German guns with whieh Paris is be- ing bombarded, He says they are 20 metres (65 1-2 feet) long. The empty shell weighs 150 kilograms (330 lbs.) and the charge weighs the same. The projectile attains a heght ot 30 kilo- metres (18.6 miles) and descends from the sky like it meteor on its target. General Von Rohne says it requires, about tbree minutes for the shell to reach its destination. The greatest difficulty in the way of increasing the range was overcome hy sending the projectile 'thigh enough to reach the rarefied air. It appears the Germans aro extreme- ly proud of the bombahdment of Paris.

AT NIAGARA.. Power Canal Diggers Find Deposit Near River. Niagara Falls, Ont., Mareh 31.— What ma.y be a coal mine bas been discovered by men constructing the Queenston Hydro Power Canal. Very deep excavations are necessary to con- struct the canal, and on Saturday the coal deposit was struck at a depth of about 170 feet nettraeherapael, The coal is of rough variety, what 'weaned rock coal., but it -is inflammable. En- gineers say it there are any quantities of it there it may prove a rich find for this province.. The -Hydro engin- eers think this coal deposit came front a buried forest perhaps in the •glacier period when i‘luch of the land in this cud of Ontario was materially changed. The experiment work will be carried out likely to aseertaie just how lame this coal deposit is and whether it le worth working. The Hydrp engineers are coming across much rock and quicksand in building the power can- al. Many farms along the route are being purchased by the Hydro Farms Department, though what is to be done with them is not given out. It, is said, however, that there will be factory sites between the. Whirlpool and Queeneton when the -canal is fintshed.
