I Perhaps the most difficult secret to
I keep is one relating to auy new gun
or other weapon of war, says Pear-
son's Weekly. There is practically
no such thing as secrecy in such mat-
I ters. Almost before a government has
j settled upon a new weapon its details
are known in every war office in Eu-
rope. Our new naval quick-firer, for
Instance. Spies stole the documents
relating to it and every particular has
been for a year past in the hands of
our chief rival.
When Louis Brennan of gyroscope-
railway fame first invented the tor-
pedo which bears his name our gov-
ernment paid £120,000 for his inven-
tion. The most extraordinary precau-
tions were taken to prevent the de
tails of the new torpedo from becom- <
Ing public property. Each portion of
the machine was made in a separate
shop and the workmen were searched
both on entering and leaving.
The various parts of each torpedo
were assembled by Mr. Brennan and
his partner. Yet, even so, it is fairly
' certain that foreign powers were not
very long in ignorance of the special
secret of the torpedo.
There is one thing which lias to be
successfully guarded. That is the pro-
visions of a secret treaty. Such a
treaty is usually in print before the
most alert reporter has nosed out its
existence. The precautions observed
are mainly those of employing a very
large number of printers, who each
set up a few lines only. Aver 200
men were employed in printing our
original secret treaty with Japan.
Undoubtedly Germany takes more
pains to preserve her military secrets
than does any other great power and
is more successful In doing so. About
three years ago an American manu-
facturer of gun cartridges was re-
quested to give an expert opinion
upon a certain cartridge-making ma
chine which the German government
thought of purchasing. Accustomed
to the comparatively free and easy
j methods of British and American navy
i yards and arsenals, he was much
amazed at being met at the gate by a
strong guard.
He was then blindfolded and led
through various pas. ages to a little
' room where the machine stood. The
guard never left him, and before he
j went away he was again blindfolded
and let out by hand.
Such precautions are almost un-
known In other countries.
We have all heard of the great Lord
Dundonald's famous "secret war plan,"
which, at the time of the Crimean
war, would, it was said, annihilate
Kronstadt and Sevastopol in four
hours, but which was condemned by
a committee as "inhuman though in-

Handling a Hard Witness.
Capt. James F. Oyster of Washing-
ton, a dealer In butter, cheese and
eggs, Is a member of the Hoard of Ed-
ucation of the District of Columbia.
There was a trial a time ago at
which Capt. Oyster testified as an ex-
pert In educational matters. The op-
posing counsel was Harry Davis, cele-
brated as a wit. When it came David's
turn to cross-examine, Capt. Oyster
squared himself for a hard battle.
"You are Capt. Oyster?" asked Da-
vis.
"Yes, sir."
"Member of the Board of Education
and up on educational matters?"
"Yes,"sir."
"Well, Capt. Oyster, what's the price
of eggs to-day?"
"Thirty-five cents," snorted the cap-
tain.
"That's all," said Davis.

and insular possessions, are counted
on to furnish the 14 additional votes
needed to make 504.
