II. NJ. S. Star is the first of ef9 lit tor
redo-boat destroyers being builtfor the
British navy. She is 215 feetin length

Great guns are expensive toys for
nation to play with. One English au-
thority says that the 1l0-ton gun, 16H
inches bore, Will fire 95 ordinary rounds,
after which the gun is unfit for further
service. The clifton gun, 1917 inches
bore, will fire 1877 rounds, and the As
ton gun, IL inches bore, will fire $50
rounds before becoming useless. The
cost of the British 110-ton. gun is $751;
800, that of the G7-ton' gun is $4,000,
and that of the Aston gun is S31 500.

JUDGE DEANE ON NEVADA.

Judge Deane on the resources Of Col
orado and Nevada and the part DEN

the vast region between the Sierra
Nevada Mountains and the Missis-

glowing picture Of the possibilities of
this great region and pays the fol-
lowing eloquent tribute to Nevada:

A Complaint That Is Often Found Among
the Sporting SIT.

A Complaint That Is Often Found Among
the Sporting set.
There are some curious and yet
frequent fashionable diseases, or
rather complaints. hat are not men,
toned III medical books and which
would puzzle n physician to dag
nose, and yet they arc sac y zeal to
those afflicted by them. They are
ihieiy to be found among the
sporting set by whom they arc
regarded as calamities second only
to vital illnesses and who speak of
any OF their friends: afflicted with
these mysterious ailments with pro-
found commiscration.
Losing ones nerve" is one of
these ineXplicable but pronounced
attacks, which seizes its victim, Of
ten apparently without reason, but
sometimes after some accident
which may be either trivial or seri-
GUS, as the case may be. Like a
wounded deer the unfortunate vic
tim afflicted in this manner shuns
the herd, who, however sorry, are
necessarily out of touch with their
former associate who is thus strick-
en-.
A hunting man suddenly finds
that he can no longer do and
dare; that he sickens and turns
faint at the sight of stiff fence,
which once would have filled him
with joy. Whats the matter with
me1" he asks apprehensively. But
there is no bodily ailment; he has
simply "lost his nerve" and "Othel-
los occupation is gone"
A man who has driven four in
hands all his life, broken in green
horses and is an expert in all equine
matters finds that he is nervous and
unaccountably timid. He, too, has
"lost his nerve" There seems no
reason for it, but the fact remains,
and his coaching days are over.
With the introduction of golf
new ailment has appeared which is
even more serious than the other,
inasmuch as it affects a greater
number of people. HE is off his
game is the verdict pronounced
against some former good player.
This, too, is mysterious dispense,
ton. Suddenly former expert finds
that something has gone wrong with
him. Why it is on what it is it is
to define. He is loft, "
that is all, and he is condoled with
accordingly. To become stale is
aflliction, which, however,
is generally only Il temporary trou
BILE. There are many other indispo
sitions with equally defined symp
toms, all of which go to prove that,
as is often asserted, doctors do not
know everything" - New York

An English View of the Tariff.

The Londen Standard says edito-
rally:
"Mr. Mckinley has redeemed his
pledge and has led the country back
into the maze of ultra .protcctionism.
Europe survived the Mckinley tiff
and will also survive the Dnglcy
tariff, which guarantees to England
continual supremacy in the overseas
carrying trade; and, therefore, is
likely to do lis more good than harm,
while the prospect for America is
further deficits, gold shipments, ii
fatiguing succession of strikes and
panics and fanatics as political
saviours."

The Landslide at Fayston.

The greatest landslide ever known
in Vermont occurred recently at
'ayston, and it has probably never
been exceeded in any of the New
England states. The slide occurred
from the mountain in South Fays-
ton, commencing nearly ut the sum
nit, laundering and crashing to the
foot, carrying devastation and de-
struction before it. The immense
mass of earth. stone and trees
crashed down the mountain side. Il
distance of three miles, and con-
tlnued mile further after reaching
level ground. 1t just missed several
dwellings, which stood in its path
and eros sed the road between the
residences Of Hollis Mahuron and
Julius Hickory. 1t swept the noun
tain bare of earth for Il distance of
three miles, and ranged from three
to 90 rods in width.
The slide left Il path fully from 90
to 100 feet deep in places and its cX-
tent can be realized only when it is
considered that it swept the noun
tain side clear to the solid rock, and
that acres and acres of great forest
trees were conveyed to the valley be-
low. 1t crossed the highway be-
tween the residences of Hollis Mahu-
ron and Julius Hickory, stopping at
the bed of the river and forming an
immense dam. The river and other
streams in the valley were higher
than had been before known since
the frcshct OF 1910.
The farm of Hollis Nlahuron was
damaged to the extent Of $Ioo, and
the highway on the German flats
was greatly damaged. The iron
bridge near the school house in dis
trict No. 9 was carried away and
other damage of a less extent has
been reported.
