Vipers and their Young.— Writing to Bod and Gun 

 from Oambus, Aberdeen, Mr. H. T. Broad hurst says: "When 

 shooting on the Highmoor at Springkell, Dumfriesshire, 

 some years ago. I came upon a viper basking in the sun 

 with her young ones— t think six or seven in number. As 

 they were uot disturbed at my approach, I watched them 

 for some little lime, and called my keeper to see them. 

 They were disturbed by my calling to the man, and I dis- 

 tinctly saw ail the young ones run to the old viper, enter her 

 mouth, and entirely disappear inside her. I was standing 

 within a very few yards — my impression is, not further than 

 three or four yards— away, and could clearly see everything. 

 1 killed the old viper with a stick, and in doing so she burst, 

 and out of the burst came all the little vipers, which also I 

 killed. The keeper who was with me at the time, ic still iu 

 my service and can confirm what I have said."— Glasqow

RANGE AND GALLERY. 



THE NEW GAS GUN. 



AT headquarters of the London Scottish Rifles yesterday after- 

 noon some interesting experiments were conducted with M. 

 Paul Giffard's appliance for the employment of liquefied gas as an 

 explosive— or, to be more strictly accurate, one should say as a 

 means of propelling projectiles— in place, of gunpowder. M. Paul 

 Giffard's scientific reputation as inventor of the pneumatic tube, 

 and of the "Gifl'ard injector," so largely used in connection with 

 steam power, stands so high that any invention to which his Dame 

 was attached would be worthy of attentive consideration. 



The weapon now introduced by him, however, is something more 

 than an ingenious appliance; it is a discovery which not only 

 promises to revolutionize the gunrnaker's art, but is applicable also 

 to many other purposes as a motive power. Those who are inter- 

 ested in the Giffard gun claim that it is the military weapon 

 of the future. The idea of using liquefied carbonic acid gas as a 

 propulsive power is not new, but M. Giffard is the first who has 

 turned it to practical account. 



The gas gun is a model of simplicity, so far as one can judge with- 

 out examination of the discharging mechanism, in which much 

 of the merit of M. Giffard's invention lies. A small cylinder, 

 called a cartouche, is attached to the barrel of a rifle or smooth- 

 bore gun. This cylinder contains liquefied gas enough to dis- 

 charge 220 shots, equal to about 50 bullets of an ordinary service 

 rifle, with a velocity to kill at 600yds. There is no other explosive. 

 The pellet is simply dropped into an aperture of the barrel, which 

 is hermetically closed by pressing a small lever, and the loading 

 is complete. 



When the trigger is pressed a small quantity of liquefied gas be- 

 comes released and expands in the breech chamber. There is no 

 louder report than the drawing of a champagne cork makes; no 

 smoke, and no fouling of the barrel. In all these respects M. 

 Giffard s gas gun seems to fulfill the requirements of an ideal wea- 

 pon for warfare; but whether in other respects liquefied gas has 

 advantages over ordinary explosives for military purposes re- 

 mains to be proved. The inventor says there would be no diffi- 

 culty in refilling the cylinders with gas on the battlefield; but it is 

 obvious, even If that be the case, that reserve cylinders would have 

 to be supplied to each man, in order to make up the number of 

 rounds now thought to be necessary; and, as bullets would of 

 necessity be carried in addition, the ammunition for a gas gun 

 would weigh just as much as ordinary cartridges, weight for 

 weight.— London Da ily News. 



The charge of liquid liberated for each round is regulated hy a 

 milled screw, and each charge, as liberated, is contained in a 

 special chamber, from which it is released by the pulling of a 

 trigger. The bullet is dropped separately into an orifice in the 

 breech -lock. In the rifles shown the bullets were round, but elon- 

 gated bullets can be used. When the guns were discharged a rush 

 of vapor was seen issuing from the muzzles. But it instantly faded 

 away, and the bullets flew with strict precision to the targets. 

 Barrels which had been repeatedly discharged in the past two 

 months were shown to have suffered no corrosion. The pressure 

 of the gas and fluid iu the above magazines was 5001 bs. on the 

 rqaare inch, and this pressure is maintained up to the last drop of 

 Ibiid. The preparation of the liquefied gas involves no mechani- 

 ("d power; but the needful pressure is got entirely by the chemi- 

 cal manipulation of ordinary substances, such as carbonate of 

 soda.— St. James Gazette. 



THE E. C. POWDER— The great annual international pigeon 

 shoot of the world came off in London, Eng., during the last week 

 in June. A great feature of this meeting has been the large pro- 

 portion of wins (9 prizes out of 13 shot for) made by the new E. C. 

 powder. We hear that this powder is already being largely im- 

 ported into this country by Messrs. Von Lengerke & Detmold, 

 and that large works, with all the best appliances and ample 

 capital to work with, will shortly be erected for the manufacture 

 of this powder in New Jersey. Altogether E. C. powder was 

 credited during this week with winning £2,500. 



CREED MOOR. 



Creedmoor, July 23.— Free practice dav at Creedmoor to-day 

 for marksmen and sharpshooters' medals drew big crowds of

The Creedmoor meeting, says the New York Times, this yca r 



will derive a greatly increased interest from the presence of a" full 

 Canadian team, under the charge of Capt. Hood. An interna- 

 tional competition has always proved a popular attraction at the 

 fall prize meeting of the National Rifle Association, but, unfor- 

 tunately, such a competition has not been secured for it. during 

 many years. The prospects of renewing the old contest between 

 British and American riflemen at Creed moor are also rather f ai nt, 

 and, indeed, the prizes offered on this side of the water are too 

 small to attract marksmen accustomed to the liberal rewards of 

 Wimbledon, or rather, as we must now. say, of Bisley. The time 

 and cost of the ocean voyage and the subsequent days required 

 for practice are items of importance, coming so soon after the 

 annual meeting at the Bisley range. But our friends across the 

 border are near at hnnd, and they have plenty of skillful riflemen. 

 Their team, which has been competing as usual at the July meet- 

 ing in England, will soon have returned, and that, or a portion of 

 it, would be available for Creedmoor. It contains plenty of good 

 shots, although it did not succeed this year iu retaining the Kola- 

 pore Cup. which it won last year. At any rate, the. Canadians 

 who come will no doubt prove worthy competitors for the Hilton 

 trophy, which has always been open to them, and it is to be hoped 

 that their presence this year will only be the first of a long series 

 of annual visits.

YOUNG RIFLEMEN.— The Empire Rifle Club, the youngest or- 

 ganization of the kind in New York, promises to become in time 

 a valuable recruitiug ground for the older clubs. The organiza- 

 tion is composed of a, number of young men, the eldest, of whom 

 has not yet reached his twenty-third year. Nevertheless the 

 youngsters manage to put up some very good scores in gallery 

 shooting, and their two best marksmen. Buff Rosenbaum and J. 

 Grimm, form a team which can measure itself with any team of 

 the same age in the United States. An individual challenge, is- 

 sued by J. Grimm for a series of 100-shot matches, best two out of 

 three, off-hand, 100ft. distance, .223al. rifle, to any shooter in New 

 York and vicinity who is 21 years or less of age, has not found any 

 takers, and Rosenbaum and Grimm are willing to shoot a team 

 match under similar conditions. The first regular contest of the 

 club, which began in January, was concluded this week, the 

 handsome gold badge presented by Mr. Henry Oehl, of the Zettlsr 

 Rifle Club, going to Rosenbaum, who won the greatest number 

 of times and made also the highest individual score. 115 out of a 

 possible 120. on July 15, 112 having been highest until then. The 

 club holds its meetings at 13 St. Mark's place, where they will 

 shoot again this fall, the new contest beginning in the second 

 week in September. The averages for the last six months are as 

 follows:

BERLIN, July 26.— Gus Zimmermann, the well-known rifle 

 shooter, of New York, and a member of the Zettler Rifle Club, 

 the Independent and Central Schuetzen Corps, and Captain of 

 Lutzaw Company, German- American Shooting Society, met with 

 a very unfortunate mishap during the quick-firing contest for the 

 ten golden pocols of honor on July h. On the fourth shot Zim- 

 merman's target broke down and a delay of two minutes ensued, 

 thus robbing the American of first honors. Even under this 

 handicap Zimmermann was third man to finish the necessary 

 180 points. Other members of the Zettler Rifle Club have been 

 equally unfortunate. Mr. B. Walther, the popular president of 

 the organization, who shot for the New York Schuetzen Corps in 

 the concurenz shoot, was unable to obtain a cup, as he was greatly 

 hindered by a swollen foot. Mr. Max Engle, who would have rep- 

 resented the Zettler Club proper, could not take part in this 

 match on account of ill health, but won silver cups on the point 

 and ring targets, as did also F. Fabarius, the oldest American 

 ^hooter who took part in the different events at Berlin. 



BERLIN, July 33.— Herr Buhl, a member of the German Reichs- 

 tag, will give a banquet on Wednesday to the American riflemen 

 who are now visiting Neustadt, Bavaria. The Americans will 

 afterward visit the Deidesheim wine cellars. President B Wal-
