GUNNERY PRACTICE.
An Occasion When Quickness OF Action
Prevented a Fearful Disaster.

An Occasion When QuickDess OF Action
Prevented n Fearful Disaster.
An officer of the United States navy
relates the following as illustrating some
of the pcrils of ernnery ct sea
81 came very near going up into the
air in small bits ON this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy gun practice
at sea and but for the quickness of a
gunner's mate would never have re-
turned. As you probably know, the
heavy guns in the turrets are fired by
electricity, the gun icing discharged
simply by pressing "a button. The officer
in command of the forward turret ON
our ship during rapid firing practice was
just about to press the button to fire one
of our big guns when o g%unner's mate
was. seen to grab at. something on the
wall of the turret and then fall in a
heap on the floor. The officer pressed
the button, but the gun was not dis
charged. When the mate came to, he
was asked what had happened, and he
informed the officer that the breech of
the gun had not been locked and that
what ho grabbed at IN the wall was the
wires forming the electric firing circuit.
when he saw that the officer was pre-
pairing to fire the gun and at the same
time observed that the Lreech of the
gun was not locked, the only thing that
occurred to him to prevent the gun be-
ing discharged was to destroy the cir
cult, which he did promptly aud effect
lively. When all this occurred, there
was a charge of 900 pounds of powder
in the gun, another charge of the same
size in the turret ready to be served, and
the passageway leading to the powder
magazine was wide open. But for the
quickness of the gunner mate the gun
would have been blown out inside tee
turret, the gases from the burning pow
der would probably have ignited the
charge lying in the turret, this explo-
SIGN would have ignited the powder i'll
the magazine, and the chances are that
the whole ship, crew and all, would
have gone up ia the air. A thought that
has occurred to mt is this: Suppose the
accident had occurred, what do you
imagine the verdict of a loard of in
qniry as to the cause of the loss of tine
ship would have been? Since his expert
ence the department has adopted cleo
trical means to prevent the discharge Of
any Of the large guns until the breech
is locked. San Francisco Chronicle.

Charing Cross.

In reading English history you will hap
pen across numerous references to Charing
Cross, but the chances are you will wonder
If the allusion is to a real cross erected as
memorial or simply crossroad. Char
ing Cross was formerly one of the noted
landmarks of Britain, and its history is as
follows: In November Of the year 1901,
"Good Queen Eleanor" as she was called
by her loyal subjects, was called to join
her husband, who was then making an ex-
petition into Scotland. When Eleanor had
gotten as far on her way as Grantham, she
sickened and died.
The romans must, of course, be buried
at Westminster, and the funeral cortege
started In that direction.
During the time this royal funeral pro-
cession was slowly winding its weary way
toward the capital thousands of people
hocked to the wayside to get glimpse of
1t. 1t was a great event in the history of
the rural districts, and they did everything
possible to make the solemn occasion q
memorable one. Wherever the procession
halted for the night or for other cause the
people afterward set up a memorial. One
of the longest stops was made at Charing,
and subsequently richly carved memorial
cross was erected on the site of the camp.
This was the Charing Cross of history. 1t
stood until 1647, when the last vestige of
1t was destroyed during the civil wars of
Charles /, the vandals who destroyed the
relic claiming 1t to be a monument OF pop
ish superstition. Charing Cross as seen to-
day was erected by the Southern Railway
company in the year 1S65.-St. Louis Re-
public.

P They Are Real wioksd.
When the country about Port Jervis, N.
r., was excited about the Snyder poison
Ing case, a long, lean, leather visaged Chap
went into Goshen to buy some things at
the store" The clerk was discussing the
tragedy with another customer and gave q
most exaggerated account OF the case,
winding up with the romark:
"And they s;.v she looks like Mrs. Hal
iiday, who killed her husband over to the
foot of tho Shawanymk mountains"
The lean chap y ~ from 'over Shawan-
gunk way" hi.A Ind he understood
the comparison listened, open mouth

1t may look very simple, but to hear the
expression in peaceful Goshen with that
lean chaps emphasis Is enough to give
man n turn. Upon inquiry, learned that
the oath or whatever you may choose to
call 1t is popular one In the country
about there, being the proper thing to say
under most circumstances II emphasized
properly.
Thus by getting the pressure upon the
proper word or the proper syllable OF the
proper word man can express joy, sor-
row, amazement, anger, disdain, irony,
and SO on.
1t is history In Goshen, for instance,
that when Case Salome was chosen con-
stable he pricked up his ears and exclaim-
ed, "By ginger sprucer' with the force on
the "ginger," and that when Aleck No
Leod's Mary accepted Zed Tompkins he
cracked his heels together and said the
same thing, the emphasis increasing right
up to 'spruce" and hanging on there till
Zed lost his breath.
Perhaps 1 cannot illustrate better the
popularity and force of this expression
than to relate that when stereopticon
went to Goshen a short time ago and gave
show cup in the hall' each picture was
greeted by united 'By ginger spruoev'
from every man, woman and child present,

of delight and amazement unequaled there

Mr.. Whites Reception.

The Cincinnati Commercial Gazette says
that when congressman White was in
Washington he and his wife decided to
give q reception and sent out invitations
reading, "Mr. and Mrs. White request the
pleasure of your company" etc. 1t hap
pened that Associate Justice White of Lou
isiana and Senator White of California
were prominent in the society of the capt.
tai and there was nothing in the invita-
tions to indicate which of the three Whites
sent them out. They were sent out broad
cast. Every one in the 'official circles Of
Washington society was included. The
result was that everybody went to the re-.
ception. The east, the west and the south
were fully represented. When the guests
arrived, some thought they were calling on
the associate justice, others thought they
were the guests of the California senator,
and comparatively small portion were
aware that they were attending the recep-
ton of Congressman White of Cleveland
1t was crush. But everybody was well
pleased with the results of the general
misapprehension that prevailed. They
were welcomed royalty, and when it was
all over and Mr.. White was laughing over
the affair he remarked, well, wanted a
crowd, and had one."
