A GUN WITHOUT POWDER.
Using Centrifugal Force Instead OF an
Explosive

From the New York Times.
Walter E. Hicks of Brooklyn is exhibit
ing at 10 Broadway very novel machine
for the discharge of dynamite projectiles,
shells and solid shot from the periphery Of
a rapidly revolving wheel The latest
Krupp guns impart to the projectile an
initial velocity of $500 feet a second,
and Mr.. Hicks calculations, es re-
vised by army experts at West Point and
Fortress Monroe, lead him to expect an
initial velocity of 1000 feet a second from
his 10-foot wheel, when flying at the rate of
1000 revolutions minute The proper
tiona range would be five miles, but the
revolutions of the wheel can be increased
to 5000 minute, with corresponding gains
in the velocity and range of the projectile.
The motive power of the wheel is steam
engine.
Mr.. Hicks wheel consists Of two steel
disks, thin at the circumference, but quite
thick at the center, standing several inches
apart, and firmly joined by bolts. In the
space between the plates four clutches for
holding the projectiles are placed equi-dis-
tant along the circumference. Outside each
disk is double quadrant for the use of the
gunner in training the ''gun" at the desired
elevation. Combined with each quadrant
is a mechanical contrivance that, by the
pulling of lanyard, opens clutch
and releases a projectile at just
the point at which the ''gun" may
be trained. Two shots at opposite sides
of the wheel are thus fired, an infinitesimal
fraction of second apart. There is a separ-
ate lanyard for each disk, each firing two
of the four shots. A wheel 10 feet in di-
ameter is required for 6inch shot, and for
every additional inch of diameter in the
shot there must be 20 inches more of diam
ter in the wheel. Underneath there is a
jackscrew brake for stopping the wheel.
The entire machine, including the steam
engine, stands upon single plate that may
be placed upon a turn-table and adjusted
like any marine gun carriage. 1t might
also be placed on wheels and used for field
service.
The projectile specially designed TO be
used in the Hicks machine is a long cigar
shaped she'll, with heavy solid ends, the in
tervenlng space being occupied by cam
phorated nitro-gelatine, blasting gelatine),
surrounded by guncotton, as in the Zalinski
projectile. The illuminate is as usual
reached and exploded by needle running
through to the pointed end of the shot.

THE SOUTHERN WOMAN.
The Way She Succeeds in Business
in the Professions and in the North.
rt~o.,, fb, Man VorL Groybsr


From the Neto York Graphic.
One evening recently the writer listened
to a conversation between a southerner and
a northerner on the women of the two Sec
ton. Each was partisan and the south
erner claimed that the women Of his section
were softer, gentler, in short, as he under
stood the words, more feminine than their
northern sisters. The other did not particu
larly attack this position, but he contended
that in more useful qualities Of energy,
practically, business sense and success, the
women of the north left out of sight
the women of the south. And the south
ern man did not particularly confute this
assertion.
Each was talking according to his prefer
ences and prejudices and with very little
reference to anything else. 1t did not occur
to either to look around and see what south
ern women are like aud are doing A brief
survey of the field reveals surprising num-
Der of southern women prominent in New
York in every sort Of business that women
are kno wn in.
The question of the comparative manners
and charms Is one of opinion, and one that
most people will decide in harmony with
their preconceived notions, and without its
making any difference whether they ever

not But the business ability OF the south
ern woman is subject TO demonstration. We
don't even need togo down TO ask what she
has done at home There is one southern
invasion that has been eminently successful,
and that is the one she has headed for the
conquest of all breadwinning occupations
in this great city. Tho southern woman
has usually been brought up in a conserva-
tive way; she usually remains, In manner,
conservative. She is not prominent in
woman's rights movements; she does not
take 10 boomers in the interest OF dress re-
form; she may have no views regarding
universal peace or prohibition or the yege-
tartan diet. Perhaps IL Is partly Ia toe
resultant concentration Of forces that her
sue ess lies. She has no advanced views.
II her original environment had not
changed, she would have gone on in her old
fashioned way attending 20 old-fashioned
duties; bat. faced with the immediate neoes-
sIty OF earning her living for her own sake
and for tho sake Of her dear onsa. she has

The city council met Monday night
in regular monthly meeting, r.
P. Cravens, president, in the
chair; all the eouneilmen present.
Ordinance No. 6l9, making apprO-
priations to pay claims against the
city amounting to S7S4.4O, was acted
upon and passed.
Ordinance No. so was passed.
This ordinance takes i'm and makes
part and parcel of the corporation Of
the city Of Salina certain territory,
surrounded and inclosed within said
city limits, In the southern portion
thereof, which such action some own
ers disputed and denied. The par

Harrison, and G. T. Hilton. The
right Of the city in the premises was
presented to the Judge Of the dis
triet court for his determination, and
he decided that the authority Of the
city in the matter was unques-
toned.
Ordinance No. 62l, making addi-
tiOnal provision for the numbering
Of all buildings I'm the city, was
acted ON and passed.
By consent the use Of the city hall
was granted TO the q. A. r. Post for
their meeting Wednesday evening.
A gentlemen representing the
Cincinnati Safe and Lock Company
appeared before the council, making
propositions TO sell the city a safe.
It was estimated that a safe OF sufh-
cient capacity to meet the require
msnts Of the city clerks Office would
cost about s1S5, and one would have
TO be built especially for the pur-
pose. The matter was submitted
to a committee, TO whom said agent

Railroad Notes.

It il stated that the contracts for
grading the Chicago, Rock Island
and Pacific extension through the
Indian Territory to the Texas line
have been let and that work will be
carried on in the comparatively
mild climate Of that region during
the winter. Cisco, Texas, Is assert
ed TO be the point Of destination.
The Missouri Pacific has finally
completed its PaOla branch into
Kansas City and has fingered its
long extension through Kansas and
eastern Colorado to Pueblo, giving
IL q quite direct line from Kansas
City to that point. At Pueblo It
makes connection with the Denver,
Texas & Fort Worth for Denver and
for points south into New Mexico,
aud also with the Denver q Rio
Grande for the west. The opening
TO traffic Of this important extension
will add very greatly to the business
Of the Missouri Pacific and put Il
still more directly in competition
with the other great lines in Kansas
and Colorado.

Numbering BaIIdings.

The ordinance enacted by the city
council Monday night, providing for
numbering the buildings in Salins, IL
simply q continuation Of the system
In vogue. The junction Of Santa
Fe and Iron avenues is the initisl
point, and the blocks are numbered
from those avenues, north, east,
west and south, there being 100 num-
bers to q block, and commencing
with the number 100 twenty-five
feet is confined to a number. Even
numbers go on the right hand side
Of q street, and odd numbers go on
the left hand side, passing from
either Of the two avenues designated.
The ordinance applies with equal
force to either Of the additions re-
Gently taken into the city as to the
city itself. Failure to comply with
the provisions Of the ordinance, 70

We regret 70 say that small auoi-
enee greeted this play Saturday even
ing, for the reason that Il IL ulefi-
torious production and was rendered
in q most gratifying manner. MI
Frank Linden on this last visit 70
SsIiua with his company could no.
have selected worse nights than Fri
day and Saturday, when he appear
at the opera house. Especially was
this true on Saturday night, and the
lady or gentleman Was indeed ven
turesome who went forth in the ex-
IRENE cold. However Mr. LindOn
and his splendid troupe seemed to
enter into the play with the same
spirit and esrnestness as II every
seat was occupied instead of there
being not to exceed seventy-hVe
persons present.
"DEmon and Pythias" is allied TO
history which antedates the birth OF
Christ, and becomes the more val
ned on the same account. They
are noble PythagOreans OF Syracuse
the capital Of Sicily, fertile Island
In the Mediterranean ses. Their
friendship IL unbOunded.
At the time at which the story
opens, Syracuse had enjoyed n per-
iod Of six years Of immense prosper
Ity under the rule of the people.
The government had previously
been wrested from the kingly power.
II was at the latter date that the
citadel had been s.Orned and Do
uysius installed as king. The news
OF the fall Of the stronghold was
broken to Damon, the senator, by
Pythias, the general. Damon II IN
censed and in the wealth Of his pat
riotism stalks to the senate Chamber
and with sOul-stirring mein and
speech denOunces the Usurpations.
He is arrested and placed in dun
Rrou and the death penalty prOnOun-
eed upon him by DiOuysius.
Phthias goes TO his cell and after
much pleading induces Damon to go
TO his wife and son, taking upon him
self the chains and incarceration for
the six hours Damon is allowed by
DiOnysuis to 90 hence. This was the
night Of the marriage Of Pythias,
and he was sorely tempted and the
way pointed out by his afilsn-
eed bride aud an old mau to
leave prison and regain his
freedom, but the soul Of honor
that Pythias was he refused their
opportunities and remained stead
fast as hostage pledged to await
Damon. When the time for
DamOn's return had arrived he dis
covered that Lucullus, his servant,
who a. a slave had been bought by
him and liberated, had slain his
horse i'm q spirit of affection for his
master that he might save his life.
Damon is incensed beyond measure,
and almost kills Lucullus, but speeds
the distance on foot, arriving just as
the sentence of Damon was about to
be executed on Pythias. Then
is the grand, happy finale,
when Dionysius throws Of the garb |
of the old man, and pronounced the
freedom Of both and asks to be adj
mitted to their sacred fellowship. |
The utmost frieudship and love are /
manifested between Damon and Py-
thias throughout the realization.
damon and Pythias" is a grand |
piece. Frank LindOn as "DamOn"
and Frank keenan, as "Pythias"
were superb. The play is richly
worth seeing. 1t carries US back in
to the great, misty past and presents
a most pleasing side Of humanity.
