It is expected that after all, even If
adults and children are placed on the same
level in the matter of the original admis-
sion fee at the Chicago Worlds fair, they
will at least be able to see everything that
is to be seen without the expenditure of a
single extra dime Possibly the directors
did not have it in mind, but at the same
time their ruling will enable a man or
woman who goes to the fair with purse
that isn't very thickly lined to invest lit
tie more freely in mementos, ornamental
as well as useful, than would be possible if
they were compelled to pay their way into
every side show that their fancy led them
So the rule will be good one all around,
the visitors viii be better satisfied and the
exhibitors will reap at least a proportion
of the benefit.

Interesting Tests of the New 12-Inch
Gun at Sandy Hook.
Sandy Hook, eighteen miles southeast by
south of the Battery, or lower end Of New
York city, is historically an interesting old
place, but in general finish rather the least
attractive In all that region. 1t is literally
SANDY hook" of land, with a wharf for
military purposes, life saving station and
quarters for the officers stationed there,
with other military belongings chiefly in
complete or long ago completed and aban-
done0.
The place is of unusual Importance now,
however, because the big guns and other
destFoyers are tested there before the
United States accepts them, and the neces-
sity of choosing this isolated spot is shown
by the fact that windows have been broken
five miles away. So the officials recently
sent word all along the adjacent shore,
now thickset with summer cottages, "Open
your windows today, for the great 12-inch
gun will be tested at the Hook"
The 12-inch gun is the heaviest ever
built in the United States. The test was
under supervision of Lieutenant w. w.
Gibson, proof officer of the station, and
was witnessed by many officers and in
vited guests. 1t was in fact trial Of the
powder made by Dupont for this gun.
For the first shot 300 pounds of powder
were used, the ball weighing 1000 pounds.
