MORE ABOUT INCOME TAX.

The present indications are that one
of the earliest sl<irmishes to take place
in the coming Legislature will be over
the income tax measure. That the
Cabinet will not submit the bill is GER
tain. Just whether a recommendation
of the proposed change in the tax
system will come from the govern
ment has not been definitely decided
upon as yet, but the attitude of the
majority of the Ministers is rather
against such an action.

COLOR IN CIGARS.

a Light Wrapper May Not Mean Mild
Smoke.
One of the most absurd fads Of tho
cigar trade Is that of color in reference
to the Havana. The idea prevails that
color is indicative of strength. 1t is no
such thing. says the London Grocers'
Monthly. A light or medium colored
cigar is not necessarily mild or medium
in flavor, for the simple reason that the
color refers to the outside wrapper only.
which in itself is of very thin sub
stance and in quantity is OF very small
proportion to the other materials that
make up the cigar. As :. matter Of fact,
the filters and bunch wrappers will de-
termine the body or strength of the
cigar. The actual strength, or. other
wise, of the inner body of the cigar
namely. filters and bunch wrappers, Is
too often an unknown quantity. 1t is
quite. true that n statement may be
made that these parts are so-and-so,
or n mixture OF this and that, and give
n certain ash, etc, but this explains
nothing. Not only are there various
grades OF the same tobacco in relation
to quality, but there are also variety
OF grades that determine strength. With
| the exception that certain tobaccos have
varying degrees of body or otherwise. n
mild. medium or full cigar Is largely
| matter OF chance. The craze for light
colors or dark colors has. nevertheless.
assumed alarming proportions. The
manufacturers. particularly those OF
| Cuba. are at their wits ends how to
grapple with the matter. Nature is very
impartial and quietly ignores the fads
| anu fancies OF people in general. To-
bacco leaves. like most things. are sub
| ject to the vagaries OF the natural ele-
! ments. a crop may give an undue
proportion of dark. light or medium:
except for color all may be equally
good. What is the manufacturer to do
II he can only dispose OF his light and
medium. and has to keep all his dark?
He already threatens to raise the price
on his lighter colors. In which case the
public would be paying higher price
for by no means the best article. It
might be reasonably assumed that, rs
possessing the essential qualities OF n
good cigar the darker cigar is by far
the best. II is about time that the re-
taller should take n hand In the mat
ter.

Effects of Sure Shot" OH u
Modern warship.

The awful destruction Of the battle
ship Maine by means of high explo-
sives Is destined to have an important
influence In naval warfare. The les
son that 1t teaches will stimulate active
experiment in new fields, which must
result in important inventions OF new
death dealing instruments. That gun
powder has reached the greatest limit
of its possibilities must be accepted,
and the advancement of engines of war
in the future must be along the line OF
high explosives. How to use them with
safety and accuracy is the question.
The guns Of the Vesuvius type have
not fulfilled the requirements by a
great deal. The Sims Dudley dyna.
mite gun. though an advance, has not
answered the purpose. The problem
still remains to be settled. The friends

gagged the serious attention of the COM

tion, have not deemed them worthy of
a single broadside. This he reserves
for the more difficult task of silencing
the forts of the Narrows. A report,

however, at last attracts his attention
and, before he has time to reply with
even one of his rapid fire guns. NUM-
ber OF steel cylinders are Kissing and

phere. With accelerating velocity they
rise as high as the foremast-head, then
turn their noses downward, and, with
unerring aim, one of them crashes into
his starboard side forward, tearing
away the armored plates and leaving n
hole through which rush the waters OF
the bay. Another falls little astern.

The new gun may be briefly describ-

The new gun may be briefly describ-
cd rs follows:
The field piece consists of n cylndri-
cal tube forming the main body. which
is separate from the part containing
the breech. The gun is supported BY
steel framework, the rear end OF which
carries the breech portion. and the
front forms the forward half Of the
muzzlc ball bearings. the other half
consisting of n ring shrunk upon the
main tube near the muzzle. Since the
breech cavity the gun can be loaded
without absolutely bringing the main
tube to rest.
In this type. the gun is rotated by
means of gear and sprocket wheels
similar to those on the bicycle for null
tiplying speed and transmitting power.
a small bevel gear, which surrounds
the gun. engages larger one mounted
on the trunnions. This large wheel
carries on Its shaft small sprockct. to
which II Is keyed. A sprocket chain
leads from this TO large sproclct
wheel mounted on the trail. The latter
wheel may he revolved either by hand
or foot power. depending upon the size
of the gun.
The speed is so multiplied. through
this system of sprocket chain and
gears. that velocity os twelve hun
dred revolutions per minutes is i'm
parted to the gun.

THE WORD YANKEE"
An Examination OF Several Theories A.
to Its Derivation.


As the word Yankee frequently up
pears In the dispatches relating to the
difficulties with Spain the Indianapolis
News has been looking up the subject
and finds that the common story OF It's
origin is that Yankees is n variatio.
OF YANKEES. or Yangees. or Yaunghees,
n name said to have been given by the
Massachusetts Indians to the English
colonists. being, II Is supposed. an In
dian corruption OF the word English.
or us some think. Of the French word
Angiais. The word is said to have been
adopted by the Dutch on the Hudson,
who applied 1t to the people OF New
England In contempt. The other the.
ory is that 1t was derived from the
Scotch word yankic. as applied to the
English settlers. as II English articles
meant necessarily excellent articles.
and others see the origin In the appli-
cation of the definition OF excellent and
smart to the English colonists. This
application is held by good authority
Rocky Ford enterprise., 1898-04-28

In the larger gun, used for fortiflca-
tions and on board ship, the side frame
which forms the trunnions of tho
breech is replaced by cylindrical cas-.
Ing. which carries the trunnions at Its
forward end. From the trunnions the
construction is similar to that OF the
field piece. The breech mechanism and
method of loading are practically the
same. The transmission of the power,
however. and the multiplication OF the
speed are quite different.
