Firing Big Guns.

1.-THE man who has never been in close
proximity to a 100 ton gun when it is
fired can have little conception of the
noise and vibration" said Lieutenant
John w. Leigh, a retired naval officer.
Partly by courtesy and partly by
chance / was On the Thunderer at the
siege Of Alexandria some years ago.
Two sets OF advice were given me as to
how to act when the big guns We're fired.
Old experienced seamen can stand the
shock by raising on their toes the mo-
ment the word is given to fire The ma
jority of people, however, find it neces-
sary III order to preserve their ear drums
from perforatiOn to lie down, resting
most OF the weight on their hands and
toes. Even with this precautiOn the SEN
sation is most unpleasant until one gets
used to it. Even with the comparative
" small guns in general use in our navy
the conclusion on board q ship when a
snOt is fired is very annoying, but the
enormous guns used so generally III EU

danger 10 the crew as well as the
enemy, and l doubt # they could posi-
bly, be used in hand to hand encoun-
Ter, useful as they are for destroying
distant ports. st. Louis Globe-Demo-

Breach of Promise Suits.

Goldio asks if a young man can sue q
young woman for breach Of promise If
while engaged to him she narries an
other man. Answer: There are q great
many foolish young people in the world,
Goldie, who seem to think that they
can in some way by money compensa-
ton make up for unhappiness, sleepless
nights, tears and heartache. Unless
there has been some actual wrong,
breach Of promise suits are very poor
Investment. They generally end in a
good deal of scandal and have most IN
pleasant consequences. If no real wrong
has been sustained, the court would
likely award about a cent damages, and
there would be heavy costs and all parties
made ridiculous Such suits are best let
alone. Legally man can sue for breach
of promise as well as a woman, but he
appears very ridiculous when he does
