EngIand's Trainings, 1919.

Some very amusing and interesting
details of training and drill are given
by military writer named Davis in
his "England's Trainings, 1919" He
proposes, among other things, that,
In order not to try the young recruits
nerves too much he should, when
learning to fire, shoot touch powder
only from the pan, and so by degrees
learn to shoot off, to bow and bend
his body, and so attain the level Of
an assured shot, readily to charge
and with comely grace discharge,
making choice Of his mark with
quick and vigiant eye"
Again, little further, he directs
the soldier that he should, once
month, take out the breech and view
and wash the barrel, and see if it
have any flaws, blacks, chambers
frettings, or ruptures," adding this
very excellent advice: "If he should
love the safety Of his own person, let
him always use piece double
breeched, and, if possible, Milan
piece, for they are tough and of per-

proof" in those days, or perhaps proof
of any kind, and it is quite likely
that the rough, ill-made English gun
barrels, with their heavy powder
charges and heavy bullets, might
have had happy knack Of frequently
bursting.
From another paragraph we get a
glimpse of the blythe position" OF
the period which is nearly incom-
prehensible to our ideas Of such
matters. "If the stock Of his piece
be crooked, let him place the end
before his left pap; if long and
straight, as the Spaniards are, ther

If electricity, then we may be able
to dissipate Jove's most awful wrath
and relieve our great cities OF their
worst nightmare, their most insidious
and most implacable foes" to re-
porter for the Philadelphia Press.
The man who made this bold and
striking remark is Professor Henry
Allen HaZen, expert meteorOlogist OF
the United States weather bureau,
who has nearly completed arrange
ments for series Of not less than
I,O0O high altitude balloon ascensions,
to be made as often as three times a
day, under a new and original prin-
ciple of gas conservation, with new
scientific instruments made in Eng
land expressly for the purpose. The
proposition is now before the board
of advisers, who may lie expected to
report on the application as soon as
Professor Langley, secretary OF the
Smithsonian, shall return to his post.
Professor Langley himself is much
interested in the subject Of free air
observation, especially in an idea he
has Of sending up self-registering
instruments to the highest possible
attitudes without risking the presence
of human being in balloon. Pro-
fessor HaZen, however, regards this
method as only supplementary to the
work of personal observation and
instrument readings which he has in
view. Aerial transit across the At
lantic ocean is the ultimate object
toward which Professor Hazen'S
plans are tending. He states unre-
aservedly that he will make the trip
If he lives. He is already looking
forward TO the construction of
balloon basket in the form Of COM
pletely equipped open boat with air
tight compartments. In this venicle,
stored with food and drink for many
days, the professor will set out with
out a qualm of fear. The only ap-
parent difficulty that has ever beset
the problem has been the inability Of
the aeronauts to keep the balloon on
a steady horizontal plane. The rising
and falling of the balloon can be
regulated by an original device Of
Professor Hazen's. He will carry a
bucket at the end of long rope and
water drawn from the ocean will con-
'Stitute the necessary ballast when
ever his balloon seems to get more
buoyant The water will be poured
out again when the balloon needs
buOyancy.

Witness,

Judge johnson Sits Down Hard ON a
Witness.
The suit of Charles Heisen VS.. A. ].
Silva came up in Judge Johnson's court
yesterday and was won by Heisen.
The evidence showed that Heisen, at
the request of Louis Meyers, bought a
lot of horses at auction. Meyers had
represented to Heisen that he could pay
for the horses by installments out of the
proceeds of his work at 81 per day, but
desiring to realize on them more quickly,
he sold them to Silva and invested the
proceeds in ''sheepherder's delight"
Constable Brissel subsequently ar
rested him in San Francisco for embez-
Element, and his trial has not yet come
off.
Heisen wanted his horses and sued
Silva for them or their value, and also for
their use, and was successful, Judge
Johnson awarding him $3.50 for them and
S100 for ten months use of them.
Meyers was one of SilVIs witnesses,
strong reprimand from Judge johnson
who told him that if he was not too
drunk to know what he was saying he
was committing deliberate perjury.
Meyers insisted that he had drank only
one glass of beer that morning. The
court, however, ordered him to leave the
witness stand and sternly informed him
that if he ever came into his court in
that condition again he would send him
to Jail.
Meyers wished to argue the point, but
the court would not listen to him and
ordered him down.

ITS FIRST VICTIM.
A lifeIess Form Fished Out of the
City Geyser.
Officer McManus the Only Person That
Didn't Get Rattled-A John
Doe ssFloater.''

About o'clock last night, while the
police were changing their watch and all
the officers were at the police station,
someone gave the alarm that another
man had got into the spouting geyser
near the Water Works.
Such an event has been looked for
daily, ever since the hole has assumed
dangerous proportions. and the alarm
caused about fifty people to gather about
the hole in a few minutes.
AS usual in such cases, everyone was
excited, and no one had any graphing
irons, poles, or even a rope, convenient,
and there was a deal of frantic alarm and
not much practical assistance.
Those nearest the hole could see the
body of the man boil up in the surging
whirlpool, and he evidently tried bravely
to breast the raging and turbulent flood.
The report was started that the unfor-
tunate man was i policeman, or one of
the City Fathers, and some one even
cried out that it was the Mayor, all of
which intensified the increasing excite
ment.
1t was soon evident that life was ex-
tinct, for all struggling had ceased, just
as Frank DarouX appeared, decidedly
unadorned, and was on the point of
jumping into the maelstrom of hot water.
By this time crowd had pressed about
the hole, there were cries Tor 'air," and
Jailer McAlanus dragged the drowned
body out Of the hole and into the light of
the electric lamp.
At this juncture the discovery was
made that the brave rescuers had wasted
their energies upon dummy-remark-
ably well constructed and resembling q
man-but it was only an old suit OF
clothes, well stuffed with coal and saw
dust
McManus retired, exclaiming that he
would get even on the -- that put
up the job!' ~
In the hight of the excitement, Ed
Rand rushed Off on the run and made the
Coroner's office in two minutes from the
time he started, breathlessly notifying
Coroner Clark.
The Coroner Immediately telephoned
to the police station, but JaiIer McManus,
thinking the joke had gone far enough,
replied that it was a dummy.
II got fooled on it myself" said the
good-natured Jailer, but l don't want
you TO hitch up and drive down"
DR.. Curtis, the genial janitor, seems to
be held responsible for the trouble. but
he says he is not.
And so the alarm was quieted and the
bogus 'tloater' was allowed to remain in
the water, where many passers-by in
vestlgated the sell during the evening.

The New Designation Given to the

The resident property-owners in tn

are getting to be aristocratic in their no.

to look down patronizingly on the

Judge McKune Declines to Commit
Himself at Present.
Judge McKune returned from Wood
land yesterday afternoon, and a RECORD
UNION reporter interrogated. him in re-
gard to the report that the committee of
Sacramento lawyers were going to bring
a new suit in the name of the State con-
cerning the matter of the Capital re-
moval.
"Well." said the Judge, there is abso-
lutely nothing that 1 could tell you for
publication in the matter. Should L
make any statement of our plans to-day,
something might happen tomorrow
which would cause us to alter our plan of
procedure, and then l should be blamed
for giving false information.
1--WE are still consulting on the matter,
and 1t would be entirely premature to say
at the present time that we are going 10
do this thing or that. l have given no
authority to any one, as far as l am con-
cerned, to make any statements concern
ing our action, but l shall not take the
trouble to deny anything that may be
guessed or said concerning it."
Judge Mckune also declined to state
whether or not the Livermore suit would
be ignored, but the general supposition
is that the new suit, if one is brought, will
be upon different line of action.

would be good enough for him.
on his way up he told Deputy Sheriff
Fay that he would not for considerable
