Indianapolis, Ind, November "a
Indianapolis companies operating in
the crude petroleum fields of Indiana
received notice that the Buckeye Pipe
Line Company had disposed of all it's
pipe line property in the State to the
indianapolis Pipe Line Company, and
that the change in ownership will oc-
cur at the close Of business on Novem-
Der 30th. The announcement further
says that on and after December, the
Indiana Pipe Line Company will be
prepared to receive and transport crude
oil in Indiana in the same manner,
under the same rules, regulations and
rates as those now in use by the
Buckeye company. 1t is believed that
the Standard Oil Company has hand
in the deal. Although the property in
volved amounts to about S750,000 it
is said there is as yet no open trace
of dollar having changed hands.
The producers Of petroleum are ask
ed to send in their selling orders at
once, that the company may have its
business ready to turn over to it's
successor at the end Of the month.

AFGHAN NEW WOMAN.
Told the Ameer She Wanted Freedom
and She Got IL, Along with
Male Dress.

The new woman has penetrated even
to the harem of the ameer of Afghan
istan, where she wears male attire and
does as she pleases, says the Ladies'
Pictorial.
The ameer picked her up on his re-
turn journey from the northern part of
his dominions good many years ago.
She had been brought before him by an
angry father and proposed husband for
punishment. She would not conform
to the usage of the country and enter
the married state, though she had then
reached the age when it was incum-
bent upon her to do so.
The girl declared she had run wild
all her life, and did not wish to give up
her freedom, to be shut up in harem.
she sought the ameer's protection and
obtained It.
"All right" he said, "since you want
to be free you shall be, but free you
must also remain; that is your punish
ment. You wish to live like a man:
you shall live like one, and for your
own protection you must wear mems
clothes"
On her arrival in Cabul she was given
the title of Older, or chief, and was
made the harem's messenger. She
comes and goes as she pleases or is or
dered, both by night aud day, and no
enc even in slanderous Cabul has ever
breathed word against her fair name.

AIMING A BIG GUN.
Description of the Different AupIica-
tons Employed.

The public has been at a loss to
understand why the Spanish gun
ners are so deficient in marIsman-
ship. An artillery expert sheds
some light on the subject. He ac-
counts for it by the fact that thew
are not generally equipped with
scientific instruments for finding
the position and range of the enemy.
1t is considered likely that the
nearest approach they make to such
apparatus is possibly the employ
ment of some such appliance as is
used on many English ships, on the
principle OF the Watkin position
finder. They are known also to
use range finder consisting of
telescope with drum marked in
hundreds of yards fitted below it.
and sliding bar which enables the
instrument to be adjusted to the
hight above tide to which it is noun
ted.
When the telescope is focused on
the target the drum shows the yards
IN the range, and an arc on the base
of the instrument, which corresponds
with the arc on the guns, gives the
training in degrees and subdivisions
of degrees. While this materially
reduces the possible error, it entails
the necessity of more trial shots than
ship can always afford to be vast
ing time on, and it is only effective
against ships at anchor. With the
position finder used on the American
ships, on the other hand, the gun is
fired by electricity from the position
finder station, and the gun layer
does not sight the gun at all. The
gun is "laid" with the training and
elevation-that is the range ordered
on the electrical dial. worked from
the position finder cell, which might
be quite distance away. When
the ship reaches point selected by
the officer i'll charge of the instru-
ment he touches button, and the
gun is actually fred by hin.
