TIMING BIG PROJECTILES.
How Their Initial Velocity Is CnIcu-
lated in Tests Mt Sandy Hook

To the layman one of the interesting
features in a big-gun test is the method by
which the initial velocity of the projectiies
Is caluculated When he hears that the mod
ern hgh-power guns often ezpel shot at an
initial velocity of 900 feet a second q rate
seconds, he realized the difficulty of calculat-
ing the speed. An ordnance officer must have
accurate knowledge of the velocity OF a
projectile that he may predict its range and
penetration and determine the accuracy of
the gun. It is a comparatively easy matter
however, with the new instruments to calcu-
late accurately the initial velocity of pro-
jectile, and any one who is fortunate enough
to visit Sandy hook when big guns are being
tested may see how it is done.
Two open frames are set up 100 feet apart
in front OF the gun. Wires are stretched back
and forth across these frames, making a
screen through which the shot must pass.
The wires in each screen form a complete
electric circuit which includes also cleo
tric battery and an electro-magnet. The
prOjectile, after leaving the gun, flies through
the wire in the first screen, interrupting the
circuit and releasing the armature of the mag
net. In space of time so small to be
hardly conceivable the prejeetile has covered
the distance between the TWO frames and
pierced the wire in the second interrupting
its electric current and releasing the arma-
ture of its magnet as in the first case. The
interval between the drop of these two arma-
lures represents the time spent by the pro-
jeetile in travelling $50 feet. This time is in
dicated by the chronograph in the laboratory
near ty. Wires run from each screen TO the
laboratory which is fitted up with batteries
and switchboards. The armature of the first
electro magnet is an iron rod about three feet
long, which is suspended vertically. This rod
falls when the first screen is pierced. The
armatare Of the second electro magnet Is

American Women Are Usually Better
Thinkers Than Listeners.

Women are better takers than lis
tenerS, while men, as a rule show
more Difference to each others Opin-
ions. 1t is, indeed, the wise woman
who realizes that monologue is not
conversation and that she who never
suspends her own eloquence long
enough to hear a contrary view from
her coterie is sadly lacking in more
than one essential popularity, says the
Philadelphia Record.
Emerson asserted that only two could
converse, While a third listened; but
that is true only when the themes are
deeply introspective. There many be
conversation of a real sort among quite
number of persons, but only when
there are no mOnOpolists to hold the
fort against all interchange of thoughts
and ideas.
There are some people with whom
one can only converse by mods, smiles
and sympathetic glances or a lifting
of the eyebrows. They put you on the
level of mutes and reduce you to the
limit of sign language. We all know
this specimen of the genus man and
woman. We see them in the street
cars, and even in the business hour
of the morning one of these big talk
ers'' will intercept you in the main
thOroughfaFe of a department store and
hold you, if not like the Ancient Mar
iner with the glittering eye, at least
with her no less compelling tongue
The talking monopolist generally has
self for a topic, one that can never
be as interesting to others as to the
particular ego who is engrossed by it.
To talk well is a gift, but to listen
we'll is a rare accomplishment, some
thing acquired through cleverness and
appreciated by every one as the most
subtle of compliments. Perhaps there
is nothing 50 characteristic of the "old
school gentleman"-or lady-as that
courteous manner of listening atten-
lively. 1t goes without saying, Of
course. that all well-bred men are good
listeners when women are talking to
them; but the woman who listens to
another Woman-where is she?
And yet listening is, after all, mega
tive talent and f1uency a positive one.
Foreigners accord American women the
palm as the brightest takers in the
wCrld English women-poor things
have always had to be listeners, willy
nilly.
The afternoon tea, with it's incessant
clatter and the general participation in
the committee work of women's clubs
has given great ease of expression to
all classes of women. This is a great
advance and one should be satisfied
with it, for to wish that one woman
might sit in smiling attention, magnan-
imGusly all ears, while another tells
her twice-told tale, Is to expect more
than the human of suffering hu-
manity.

was reached at meeting of representa-
tfves Of those parties held in Senator
Germans committee room at the capi-
tol today. The agreement had its
origin in the effort to reorganize the
senate committees, but 1t is destined
apparently to reach far beyond this
situation, and In fact to the future
proceedings of the senate on all mat
ters, If not to the extent of shaping
party policies throughout the country.
There were present at the meeting
Observation-Disclosures German, Cock
rell, Walthall, Jones, Of Arkansas, and

Cannon and Mantle. Populists-Sena-
tors Allen and Pettigrew.
The silver Republicans say that their
principal incentive in entering the CO.
alitfon Is to protect the finance com-
naittee, which they feared might be-
come an anti-silver organization in case
the Republicans were allowed to have
their own way in committee organ1za-
ton. Any intention to interfere with
the senate through the coalition of
Democrats, silver Republicans and
Populists is denied by the parties to the
agreement.
80 far as the Democrats are con-
cerned," said Senator Jones, of Arkan-
sas, their plans are simple and easily
understood 1t is our purpose to de-
bate the bill thoroughly and complete

and lack of uniformity of rates in the
bill. and then to allow the bill to pass

His Election.

FRANKFORT, KY, April 10-It was
known early this morning by DR.. Hun
ter's friends that charges Of bribery
were to be sprung on him as soon as
the roll call was completed. It was
reported at that hour that an indict-.
ment charging him with attempted
bribery was under consideration by the
grand jury and would probably be re-
ported today. 1t was not reported,
however, as the grand jury adjourned
tonight without reporting an indict-
ment. 1t will resume the investigation
on Monday, when ex-Congressman
Wilson and Mr.. Franks will be among
the witnesses. The gossip in the case
is that Capt. Noel Gaines approached
Representative Clarke and Johns in
behalf Of Hunter and proposed a mon
ey consideration for their votes for
Hunter. AS soon as the news was out.
DR.. Hunter sent for Representative
Clarke and Johns. They came and
then Dr.. Hunter said to them in the
presence Of Attorney General Taylor
and Senator McChard:
81 never saw Capt. Noel Gaines in
my life nor did 1 ever hear of either
Tanner or Gordon. l never solicited
Gaines nor any one else to attempt
to bribe any member Of this general
assembly"
Tanner and Gordon are associates OF
Gaines in his accusation. The former
is Gaines brother-in-laW Ex-Con-
gresham Wilson says Gaines ap~
preached him recently and said he had
facts against Hunter that would ruin
him. and that he would suppress them
if Hunter would give him 5000 Will
son spurned him and Gaines went at
once to Blackburn's headquarters. 1t
is claimed by Hunters friends that
the charges were made when the Re
publican nominee came within one vote
of election, and it was believed that
Hunter would be elected.
EX-COngressman Wilson and Mr.
Franks have made full statements
about what they call the efforts to en-
trap them, and DR.. Hunter has shown
that he did not know and had never
met the parties Offering to deliver three
silver Democratic votes for given
sum. There is some reaction of SEN
t1ment in favor of Hunter by those
who regard the charges in the line Of
persecution. Others expect sensational
developments next week from the in

Rapid Growth of European cities

With perhaps the single exception of Chi
cago, American cities have not grown so
rapirdly as the morepa rogressive cities of Eu-
rope 1t has been generally supposed that
the trend OF population to cities was greater
with US than abroad, but such is not the case.
Dr. Albert Shaw, in his recent book on mu-
nicipal government in Europe, makes promi-
nent this fact, that European cities have in
the last decade or two grown at a faster rate
than American. Berlin had l50 coo less pop
ulation in 1880 than New York. but in 1890
Berlin had outstripped New York, and still
maintains the lead, but the Greater New York,

1890 Hamburg had $50 260, and Boston AS, COO
Baltimore was once as big as Hamburg, but
it has long been distanced. Breslau used to
be smaller than Cincinnati: it has now dis

but Cologne was much the biggest in 1890

EXTRA LEVEE GUARDS.
Storms Add to the Danger Along the
Mississippi.


MEMPHIS, Tenn, April 10.-There is
no abatement to the flood in the Mis-
sissippi. The water continues to pour
into the lowlands through five breaks
in the leVee and the smaller streams,
tributary to the big river, are filled to
OVerf1owing. This has been a rainy and
stormy day in the flooded district and
extra guards are being placed on the
levees tonight. With the river station
airy at Memphis and Cairo, and the up
per Mississippi rising, the duration of
the flood is now a question that only
the future can determine. The great
volume of water which for weeks has
filled the Arkansas bottoms, and which
is now rushing into the delta, continues
slowly passing into the main channel
again, and adds to the already swift
current which threatens the Louisiana
levees.
At Rosedale a steady rain is falling
and a high wind prevails. Along the
Bogue Phalia, one of the richest sec
tions of the delta, the people are in
distressing circumstances. Relief was

GERMANS THE FIRST HERALDs.
Lecture Before New York Chapter
ID. A. r..

The New York City Chapter of the
Daughters Of the American Revolution
were out in force to hear w. III. ABB
bott's lecture on "Heraldry Illustrat-
ed" says the New York Tribune.
4. The lecturer began by referring to
the general. character of medieval her
aidry, and enlarged on its tendency
toward high and noble actions as evil
denced among other things by the ex-
alted nature of many Of the notices
attached to ancient coatS-of- arms
which, he contended, might be fairly
taken as expressing the aspirations Of
those who bore them. Flags as an ex-
ample of national heraldry were next
considered, and the origin and his
tory of the British and American flags
given. The early history and probable
origin of heraldry were taken up ana
reasons given for believing that the
Germans were the earliest users of
heraldry, as the science is now under
stood; from them 1t passed to France
and Scotland, and arrived in England
during the twelfth century.
Illustrations were given of some OF
the more ancient Scotch, Welsh and
English coats-of-arr1s, and their ori,
gin was explained. Tournaments were
described and their influence on her
aldry dwelt upon.
The lecturer then referred to the ma
ture Of heraldry, and went on to ex-
plain the various parts which go to the
making up Of coat-of arms. The
shield or escutcheon was first dealt
