HOW BIG GUNS ARE AIMED.
NE Range Finder Used ON Besoosst De-
lenses and Battloships.

lenses and Battleships.
In reply to an inquiry would say that
che range fipder used on our seasoast de-
lenses Is not government secret, but Is .
patented appliance, an improvement upon
. system that has been In use since ancient
times. There are In use three sets of ap-
paratus somewhat different from each 9th
Or which were invented by Captain Wat
kins. an English engineer; Lieutenant
Lewis OF our army, and Lieutenant Fisk Of
our navy. They are very complicated,
and It Is difficult to explain their opera
ton 80 1t can be understood by laymen.
All such inventions are an appliance Of
the mathematical principle that. knowing
the base Of a triangle and the two angles
at its extremities, one can calculate the
distance between them. On coast defenses
the base Of the triangle is permanent, with
fixed objects to mark it's terminus The
angles are aseertained by observations
through instruments made for that pur-
pose, and when they are known there is a
series of printed calculations covering all
possible situations which enables the gun
ner to catch the distance of his target at
glance
At sea, when a vessel Is moving, the base
n
telescope is placed at either end of that
line, and the lenses of both are focused
upon the object to be shot at. An observa-
ton is then taken, rapid mathematical
calculation Is made, the book of tables Is
referred to, and in moment the gunner
may know whether the enemy's cruiser Is
6H or 81 miles away or any other given
distance. This, of course, requires great
~ mt Oh kap tioaI
ability, but 1t is said to be absolutely ac-
curate, and the apparatus Is so sensitive
and regulated to such fine degree that
by turning a key monster gun weighing
100 tons can be instantly adjusted so that
with given quantity of powder 1t will
carry projectile of given weight exactly
the distance which the range finder has
determined. OF course the gunner must
know the contents of his cartridge, be-
cause that is a material factor in his prob
lem. He must also make allowances for
the wind, for the resistance of the atmos-
phere, for the curvature of the earth and
for the movement of the enemy's fleet If il
Is In motion. The range finder Is, how
ever, a great deal more accurate than the
human eye, and persons with defective
vision will often insist that gun is badly
aimed and find out to the contrary after
the shot Is fired.
| Although we have guns on our battle
ships and in the fortresses on the coast that
will carry projectile IL miles, 1t would
be folly to attempt to use them at that dis
lance, because, owing to the curvature Of
the earth, it would be impossible to set
/ the target. "A man in small boat upor

On looking at . late map Of Missouri
one will find the name $ Log" as post
Office at the extreme western end Of
Newton county and about eight miles
south Of Grand Falls. A few days
ago Deputy United States Marshal Short
had occasion to serve papers from the
Oklahoma federal court on several per-
sons residing in that direction, and he
was given their postofice address as
Log. AS it was not familiar name in
this vicinity he wandered about the
hills until he came to the end OF q log
house extending from the brush and
concluded that it was the place he was
searching for He asked for the post
master, and woman replied that she
was the official, and upon inquiry as to
her name the officer also learned that
she was one Of the parties to be subpB-
naed. She was also asked why her Office
was called Log and stated that she
didn't know exactly, but that when the
Office was first established il was called

partment considered too lengthy, SO il

TRAP HAD BEEN ARRANGED
Schooner Sent Out by the Willy Dons to
Draw the American Vessels
Into the Harbor.

KEY WEST, Fla, May 10.-Only poor
Workmanship on the part of the Span
ish gunners saved the Vicksburg and
the cutter Morrill, from destruction off
Havana Saturday morning. For over
half an hour they were under fire of
the guns of the Santa Clara water bat
teries, but both escaped without mate
rial injury, although schrapnell shot
from 8-inch guns exploded all around
them, and both show the pitted scars
of the Spanish bullets.
The willy Spaniards had arranged a
trap to send a couple Of our ships to
the bottom. They baited it as j man
would bait u trap. A small schooner
was sent out from Havana harbo1
shortly before daylight to draw some
of the Americans into the ambuscade.
The ruse worked like charm. The

of the chase and in their contempt fol

the trap that had been set for them.
They followed the schooner to within
mile and half of the Spanish bat.

which their reckless spirit had lee
them. The

passed over the Morrill, between the
pilot house and the smokestack and ex
ploded less than so feet on the por
quarter. The small shot ratified agains

quick succession. One burst close un
der the star board quarter, filing thu

Novel Experiment as to What Boys and
Girls Would Do With Is.
A very interesting experiment with
school children was recently made in
Springfield, Mass, by DR.. George E.
Dawson. He persuaded 1, 307 Of them,
nearly equally divided as to sex, to
write an answer to the query, IF You
had So, all your own, what would you
do with it?'' Nearly one-half Of them
IA per cent? answered that they would
deposit the money in a bank, 1878 per
cent would buy clothing, 80 per cent
would buy something to eat, 1913 per
cent would buy toys and other means
Of amusement, 2. l per cent would buy
jewelry and fnery. nine-tenths Of per
cent would buy firearms, IL per cent
would spend it for travel, ID per cent
would spend it for others and per cent
would buy books, ETC..
The disposition to save shown by SO
many of the children is attributed by
DR.. Dawson largely to their susceptible
ity to suggestion. While the children
do not realize the full significance of
saving, the idea has been engrafted up.
on their minds and is bound to have its
influence. In noting the percentage OF
those who would buy clothing it should
be remembered, he says. that many Of
the children were in urgent need of
something better to wear. Those who
voted for something to eat were mostly
under 2 years of age. In regard to trav-
Ell, the figures show that as children
grow older the desire to go out into the
world increases rapidly, reaching its
height at about the beginning Of Adde'S
cence.
