Artillery,

Perhaps it may have been just as well,
in the end, that our government has
permitted the navy to run down to al
most complete uselessness. The expert
ments now making in Europe In gunnery
are not at all encouraging to building
heavy armored vessels of war, since the
latest achievements of Krupp, the great
German gun-builder, seem to show that
with his seven-inch guns he can, alta dis
lance of half q mile, blow out of water
anything that can be put aioat, no mat
ter how heavily iron-clad. He con-
structed a target of ten and a half inches
of iron, backed by seven feet of hard
timber, to which was again added six
and a half inches of iron plating, with
six feet of timber backing, finishing up
the target with an inch and a half Of
steel plates. He placed four seven-inch
guns on a specially constructed carriage,
in position concentrically pointing to the
same spot almost on the target. The
charge was a conical shell and seventy
five pounds of powder to- each gun
which were simultaneously fred by cleo
tricity and tore the target all to pieces
1t seems impossible that a ship can bt
built to float with sides fourteen and
half feet thick and as not even tina
thickness of iron, steel and wood com
bined can withstand modern guns, it ap
pears that an iron-clad navy would b.
useless against such artillery.

these old sanctuaries, even in the vast
treasury house, the British Museum, in
order to secure perfect protection
against any sudden con~fagration, there
is not only no fire by which to warm in
the winter, but the establishment is
closed at 4 o'clock, at that season, re-
naming open later, of course, as the
days lengthen. The Doomsday Book,
up to 1896, wal frequently carried, like
other records, to distant districts, but af-
ter that date it was kept with the Kings
seal at Westminster, in charge of the Of

in the office of the Kings rs~membrances

collection you find whole countries with
the names of the owners of the real es-

ishing proof of the sagacity of the early
Kings of England in order to secure

A Shin with Wings and Paddles.

Mr.. Micaiah Dyer, of Union county,
has recently obtained a patent for an ap-
paratus for navigating the air. The
machine is an ingenious one, containing
principles entirely new to aeronauts, and
which the patentee confidently believes
have solved the knotty problem of air
navigation. The body of the machine
in shape resembles that of an eagle, and
is intended to be propelled by different
kinds of devices, wings and paddle
wheels, both to be simultaneously op-
Grated through the fundamentally of
mechanism connected with the driving
power. In operating the machinery, the
wings receive an upward and downward
motion, in the manner of the wings of a
bird, their outer ends yielding as they
are raised, but opening out, and
then remaining rigid while being
depressed. The wings, if desired,
may be set at an angle SO as
to propel forward as well as to raise
the machine in the air. The paddle
wheels are intended to be used for pro-
pelling the machine in the same way that
a vessel is propelled on water. An in.
strument answering to a rudder is at
tached for guiding the machine. A bal
loon is to be used for elevating the "hy
ing ship" after which it is to be guided
and controlled at the pleasure of its oc
oupants. MI. Dyer has been studying
the subject Of air navigation for thirt,
years, and has tried various experiment

SEVEN INDIAN MURpEnERs TO B1

SEVEN INDIAN MUBDERERs TO BE
HANGED.-Colonel Boudinot, who has
Just returned to st. Louis from the Indi-
an Territory, says that twenty-seven
murder cases have just been disposed of
by the United States District Court, at
Fort Smith, Ark, before which all the
criminal business from the Indian ma
tions comes. Out of this number, there
were eight convictions for murder in the
first degree. Seven of those convicted,
including two boys, one II and the other
10 years old, will be hanged on the Sd
of September next. The eighth one, q
negro, was killed after conviction, while
attempting to escape from his guard.
Much outlawry prevails in the Indian
Territory, and ten persons have beer
killed at Fort Smith within a few
months.

Walking erect not only adds to manli-
ness of appearance, but develops the
chest and promotes the general health
in a high degree, because the lungs,
being relieved of pressure made by
having the head downward and bending
the chest in, admit the air freely and
fully down to the very bottom of the
lungs.
throw the shoulders back, feeling OF
tiredness and awkwardness is soon ex-
perienced, or it is forgotten. The use
Of braces to hold up the body is neces-
sarily pernicious, for there can be no
brace which does not press upon some
part of the person more than is natural,
hence cannot fail 10 impede injuriously
the circulation of that part. But were
there none of these objections, the brace
would soon adapt itself to a bodily posi-
ton, like hat, or shoe, or new garment.
and would cease to be a brace.
To maintain an erect position or re-
cover it when lost, which is at once
natural, easy, and efficient, it is only
necessary TO walk habitually with the
eyes fixed on an object ahead, little
higher than yourself, the caves of a
house, the top of mans hat, or simply
keep your chin very little above a
horizontal line, or it will answer to
walk with your hands behind you. If
either of these things are done the neces-
sary, easy, and legitimate effect is to
relieve the chest from pressure, air gets
in more easily, develops it more fully
and permeates the lungs more exten-
sively, causing more perfect purifica-
ton of the blood, imparting health,
more color to the cheek, and compelling
a throwing out of the toes. To derive
the highest benefit from walking hold
up the head keep the mouth closed, and
move briskly.

death of the father the old house stood

The History OF Church Pews.

In the early days of the Anglo-Saxon
are some of the Norman churches, a
stone bench running around the inte-
rior of the church, except the east side,
was the only sitting accommodation,
for its members and visitors. In 1919,
the people are represented as sitting OH
the ground or standing. A little later
the people introduced low, three-legged
stools promiscuously over the church.
Soon after the Norman conquest wooden
seats were introduced. In 1897 a de-
cree was issued in regard to the wrang-
ling for seats, so common, that none
should call any seat in church his own,
except noblemen and patrons, each en-
tering and holding the one first found.
From 1880 to 1910 seats were more ap-
propriated, a crossbar guarded the en-
trance bearing the initial letters of the
owner. In l60S galleries were intro
duced. And as early as 1914 pews
were arranged to afford comfort by
being baized or cushioned, while the
sides around were so high as to hide
the occupants device of the Puritans
to avoid being seen by the officers, who
reported those who did not stand when
the name of Jesus was mentioned.

tricts; for / do not believe that in

of quinine. This theory l published in
1871, and it was ridiculed at first by
many, but recently some German phil
osophers have actually obtained the
liquid from mosquitoes, and, by care
