NAVAL GUNNERY.
Review of improvements in Methods
and Artillery Since 1912.
From Century Magazine.

AeF10W OF improvements ia
and Artillery Since 1912.
From Century Magazine
The proficiency of American gunnery
in this war is perhaps best illustrated
by the Constitutions first action with
the Guerrero, in which she was hulled
but three times, while her antagonist,
to use the words of her commander.
was reduced to perfect wreck
within forty minutes from the time
the Constitution began to fire. This
battle occurred Oh August 10, 1912.
In her action with the Java, December
90, 1912, off the coast of Brazil, the
Constitution was hulled but four times,
and with the exception of her
maintopsail yard she did not lose a
spar. The Java, on the other hand
vas "totally dismasted," while her
hull was so shattered and pierced with
shot-holes that.it was impossible to get
her to the harbor of San Salvador, which
was only few hours sail.
In her action with the Cyanc and Lee
want the forces opposed were: Constitu-
ton, tifty-one guns with l ,2S7 pounds Of
metal; British, fifty five, guns with
1908 pounds of metal. In this
extraordinary action the Constitution
was hulled only thirteen times, while
the Cyanc had every brace and bowline
cut away, cher main and mizzen masts
LETT in tottering state, and other
principal spars wounded, several shot
in the hull, nine or ten between wind
and water" The Levant also was
roughly handled.
Before dismissing the subject of
gunnery we should take into considera-
ton: () The inferior quality Of Amer
lean cannon and shot. (2) The def
cheney in weight of American shot. (3)
The fact that in two of the four actions
between single frigates the English
used French cannon and shot. which
were eight per cent heavier than their
nominal English equivalents.

London in a Foo.

London has been sunless for more
an month "Atone time this after
noon," writes Harold Frederick on
Saturday, it grew SO light here in Lon
don that one could distinguish houses
on the opposite side of the street quite
plainly, but it didn't last long, and
this evening people are humping
around in the same old pea-soup fog,
which has enyeloped the metrop-
oils since New Years. A little of
this bat-like existence each winter has
certain charms of uniqueness and va
riety, but Londoners this time are fairly
worn out with it. No glimpse of sun
shine has been permitted us now for
thirty eight days, and sometimes there
have been bannocks Of solid darkness
lasting for forty or fifty hours at a
stretch. Moreover, it has been for the
most part exceptionally cold from an
English standpoint. To be sure, the
mercury has never fallen beyond l30
above zero; but that is deemed such an
inhuman temperature here that a dri-
yer on a coach between Canterbury and
Dover the other night actually allowed
himself to be frozen to death by it. :"

uresque San Marino has no customs
tariff against Italy, and obtains foreign
tobacco duty free, through Italian terri
tory, by reason of promise to abstain
from raising tobacco. To avoid any diff
ficulty over the troublesome question
of international copyright, San Marine
iorbids the use of the printing press
within her borders
According to tradition, San Marino
was founded in the third century by q
mason named Marinus. 1t first figures
in European history in the year $50.
Since then it has had varying fortunes
in peace and war. Time and again the
tiny bit of territory has been the sub
iect of grave dispute, and for brief
periods it has lost it's autonomy. In
1881, however, San Marino's powerful
neighbors acknowledged her independ-
ence, and this boon was secured to the
little republic when the present Italian
kingdom was formed

NAVAJO SNAKE DANCE
It is a Religious Ceremony Among the
southern Indians.
From the Chica ro Tribcna


From the Chicago Tribune.
Benjamin Brink, Moqui, Ari.," was
written on the register at the Palmer
House yesterday by az robust-looking
man Of so, somewhat stoop-shouldered
Mr.. Brink is an Indian trader, and as
Moqui is ninety miles away from the
Pacific railroad, he says he did not
hear about the trouble among the
Indians in the Northwest until four
days ago.
From what l have heard of the
ghost dance,'" said Mr.. Brink, IL
cannot see why it should stir up such a
row. The snake Dance l believe, is
ten times more exciting, and the Zuni,
Navajo, and Moqui Indians on the reser-
walton near my home work themselves
into a perfect frenzy during its
progress, but never think Of molesting
the whites.
''It is part of their religion, though,
and if any attempt were made to stop 1t
l believe there would be bloodshed-
The dance takes place once in two years
The last one was celebrated in July.
before it came off, and / was as anxious
to be a spectator as they were. A
stranger or wilder ceremony | never
saw. l hope shall never see it again.
The dance took place just before
shutdown, and l got up on high ledge
where I could get q good view. The
space allowed for the dancers was not
large and was inclosed. Fifteen fine
looking Indians began to walk rather
slowly at first around huge stone in the
center of the inclosure. They were
almost naked, and every part of their
bodies, even to their feet, was smeared
with red and green paint Each
man had fox's scalp dangling from his
made of gourd Hoofs of deer. were
tied around their ankles and wrists, and
at each step and movement of the arm
noise enough was made to wake the
dead.
1.-THE snakes to be used in the dance
had been caughtseveral days before the
fete, and just before the dance had been
placed in a cluster of trees beneath
where l stood. After the. men had
yelled till they were hoarse and had
made themselves tired with stamping
on the ground, fifty more painted
redskins came rushing down hill, filed
into the Enclosure, and then began such
tumult as [ never want to hear again.
At a given signal the sixty-tive now
thoroughly frantic men made a rush Tor
hidden Each man came rushing back
with wriggling and squirming snake,
it's neck between his teeth so it could
not bite him, re-entered the ring and
began a slow walk around the center
stone. The reptiles Missed and dashed
their tails and bodies around the necks
Of the apparently mad red men.
Several of them were bitten by the
snakes, which We're the most venomous
in the country. It's wonder all of the
performers were not bitten. Two Of
them died day or two after the dance,
the herbs applied not being sufficient to
draw outthe poison.
CATER the ceremony each man
snatched his snake from his mouth, ram
down into the valley below, and there
the reptiles were set free. The Indians
were thoroughly exhausted after their
violent exercise and could scarcely
crawl back up the hill. From what !
could learn, such ceremonies as the
snake dance have been held for GEN.

FOR MOUNTAINEERING GIRLS.

"That Which Your Hands Find to Do Is
the Duty Before You."
From the New York Star.
Hundreds of thousands of girls have a
great desire to make q little money, and
I don't know whether to call it lauda-
BILE one or not, says an exchange. | am
not believer in girls going out into the
world to work unless it is absolutely
necessary. Bat when it is, then | want
them to do it in the right way. [ want
them to think that every particle
of work they do is done not only for
their own sake, not only for their en-
ployers-it must be right and honest in
the sight of God. A very clever woman
not very long ago wrote an article
about WorklngWomen, and In 1T she
used the beautiful quotation Of Rus
kin's Queens you always should be.
Queens to your lovers, to your hus-
bands, to your sons; queens Of higher
mystery to the world beyond" But
she did not put in the rest Of the quota
ton, and in that lies the story Of the
non-success of many girls. This is IT.:
''Bdt, alas you are too often idle and
careless queens, grasplng at majesty IN
the least things, while you abdlcate III
the greatest.
With only the hope of making money
YOUR work will be worth little, and Ger
fainly not be worthy of consideration
by noble minds or by the good God who
Watches over you day and night You
girls hurt yourselves, hurt your work,
make it of less value and yourselves less
respected because you SO entirely draw
the line at what you will and what you
will not do. That which your hands
find tosdo is the duty before you, and

ing house. finds it but little trouble to
keep her desk in order, and, when she
has time, to straighten up somebody

woman whose work is going 10 be noted
and counted as valuable. The woman
who, announcing that she must get work
or starve, and who yet is no. willing to
be at her desk at s clock IN the morn
ing, deserves to starve.
The woman who, knowing that Tor a
certain number of hours she should IN
honor give her time to her employer, IS
Int q poor worker when ten minutes
after the hour finds her arriving, and
five minutes before the hour to go away
sees her getting her cloak ready ana
arranging for her outdoor costume.
The good workman doesn't drop the
pen or the hammer at the stroke OF the
hour: he finishes first that which he is
doing, for his heart is in his work, ana
that's the way it must be with you girls
if YOU want to succeed and make even
..a little money!

BagpiDe.

The bagpipe is almost universal
throughout Asia, though at present not
so much in use as it seems to have been
in former ages. 1t is used among the
Chinese musicians, and is met with in
Persia, where it appears to have been
more general in former ages than at
present. There is also Hindoo bag
pipe, and in Egypt it was used to some
extent, but is now rarely met with. In
Italy it is common. 1t is said that the
Italian peasant believes that it is the
best beloved music of the Virgin Mary,
also that it is the instrument upon
which the shepherds expressed their
joy vixen they visited the Savior.
When the Italian peasant visits Rome
on the anniversary of the birth of our
Savior he always carries his bagpipes
with him. The Romans are said to have
been acquainted with this instrument,
and most likely the Greeks also. In
Scotland it is the national instrument,
but even there it's use is dying out.
bagpipes are XII own IN Scotland, En-
gland, Ireland, Germany, Spain, Italy,
North Africa (at least, find name for
them in Tuarick vocabulary and in
Syria. Probably many other countries
have them.

TOIstOi at Home.

Galigani's Messenger says that d
friend of Tolstoi's, who visited him
quite recently at the Tusculum, near
lula, found him on small veranda at
tached to his modest domicile, seated at
table on which stood steaming sam
ovar. The great man was dressed in the
blue tunic of the Russian peasant, a
girdle encircling his waist and white
cap on his head. His friend describes
him as having ruddy complexion, a
large nose, short gray beard, and thick
eyebrows In the course of the CONVEX
sation that followed Tolstoi remarked:
Seventeen years ago when l was born
x" when his visitor, taken
greatly by surprise, exclaimed, "Seven
teen years ago, what on earth do you
mean, Count? l understood you were
born in 1885, ''That was not life,"
said Tolstoi distainfully. Truth to tell,
he does not care to talk of the life he
led before his second birth, for it
harmonizes i'll with the theories of
social life represented in the "Kreutzer
Sonata Tolstoi is blessed with
numerous family. He has his culver
full of them, as, for number of years,
Nine. Tolstoi used to present her lord
annually with token of their conjugal
bliss.

A Monster Slab.
From the Germantown Telegral

From the Germantown Telegraph.
Probably the most remarkable piece
of bluestone ever quarried in this coun-
try and brought safely to tidewater is
now at Wilbur. It is 20 feet long by q
weighs over twenty tons. It was taken
out Of quarry near Kingston and by
it's side the celebrated slab in front Of
the Vanderbilt mansion in New York,
which is Is by 20 feet and inches
thick, is shorn of much of it's glory.
This monster stone is so large that it
may have to be cut in two for buyer,
which will detract from its actual value
about 20 per cent. In its present shape
it is practically dead money to its own
ers, as it is larger and wider ether way
than any sidewalk in America.

Trif1ing Things in Court.

Very trifing things sometimes go very
far in the courts. The supreme court Of
the United States has ended a costly and
long controversy by ruling upon the
question, ''Is the tomato a fruit or a
vegetable?" About $4,000 has been ex-
pended in the celebrated "Jones county
calf case" in Iowa, in which the owner
ship of calf valued at fifteen dollars is
involved. A Medina county (O.) farmer
few years ago refused to pay taxes on
four moolleys on the ground that the
law provided for the taxation of call
horned cattle of whatsoever kind"
whereas the four COWS had no horns.
This case was ended in the circuit court
after the costs had eaten up the value of
the defendants farm. A. suit for taxes
