How the Big Guns Work.

The writer once witnessed at close
quarters a target practice Of the two
12-inch rifles mounted at Sandy Hook,
and brief description Of how the
mighty guns work and the "scores"
that can be made with them may be of
interest Just now.
The guhs are mounted on elevators,
and are loaded at the breech when
sunk in shaft, where the gunners
work in perfect safety. While they
are being loaded two observers, at
some distance and in different direc-
sions FROM the guns, are Finding" the
target, as it is called.
That this work may be done speedi-
ly and accurately, engineers have de-
voted many months Of precise work.
The result of this is that two OBJ
servers have before them charts CO.
related with each point of obscrya-
tion, the guns and the field within
which is the target. The observers
have instant communication with each
other by three means which need not
be mentioned. The target being
determined upon-say one of feet Of
hostile ships-it is found" by the
two observers. Each learns from his
observation the direction of the tar
get. Observer A takes his own and
observer BIS observation and extends
two lines on his chart, which give him
the exact location Of the target, which
is where the bwo extended lines meet:
and this also determines, so elaborate
ly has the preliminary charting been
done, the exact direction and distance
of the target from the guns. This in
formation is communicated to the gun
ners. They know, for these elements
have also been accurately determined
how much the rifle must be elc-
vated, with a given charge and pro-
jectile, to carry the required distance.
Yhis sounds complicated, but it is
as easy as it is for bank clerk to de-
termine Il complicated problem in in
terest by turning to aprintcd eompila-
ton, table.
But the result: Having the infor-
nation given to him by the observers,
the gunner raises the big cannon on
its elevator platform, it is directed
and elevated by simple machinery, the
lanyard is pulled, thousand pounds
of steel harris through the air, and the
cannon is sunk in the shaft for another
charge
In the practice witnessed by the
writer the target was five miles dis
tant. and so small it could not be dis
tinguishca from the ocean white caps
by those who stood by the guns. But
not a shot which would not have
struck ship located where the targcs
was.-.Nur l'ork IIorM

Something in the Ear

The ears of children are favorltc re-
ceptaclcs for small sticks, pebbles,
beans and the like. Insects may also
occasionally crawl into the ear, and
hes are sometimes put there by chill
dren who enjoy the buzHing sonnd and
the tickling which the prisoners cause
in their efforts to escape. Sometimes
the fly, despairing of exit by the way
he entered, this being closed by the
little hand, will crawl in the other di-
rection, and if he chances to reach the
drum membrane his revenge on his
tormentor will be complete.
The ear is usually very tolerant of
any inert substance which has found
entrance, the presence of which may
be discovered only accidentally during
the child's bath; and then the trouble
generally begins with the nurse s at
tempt to extract it. If the body is
pea OF bean, however, it will absorb
moisture and swell, causing severe
pain.
The chief danger of a foreign body
in the ear is that it tempts unskilled
persons to try to remove it, for almost
invariably the only result Of such eff
forts is to jam it further in, perhaps
even so far as to break the membrane
and cause irreparable injury to the
delicate structure in the drum of the
ear.
1t is hazardous, indeed, to attempt
extraction in these cases, that it is
almost wiser to advise that the offend
ing object be left alone, no matter
how much pain and distress it's pres
ence may cause. Certainly if ply
sician can be reached, even with some
delay, the work should be left to him;
but doctor may be inaccessible, or
the pain, as from the presence of
live insect, may be SO excraciating
that something must be done at once.
The first rule for removing anything
from the ear is "don 't''-don't poke
in the ear! IF the trouble is due to
an insect, let the child lie on the op-
posite side and then pour little luke
warm water into the ear; the insect
will almost always come to the surface
of the fluid and crawl out of the open
ing.
Swinging the ear with lukewarm
soap-water will usually suffice to dis
lodge hard body which is too tightly
wedged in; if, however, this is some
thing that will absorb water and swell,
we must refrain, for the only result
will be to fasten it more securely.
Sometimes loop Of very thin wire
can be slipped behind the intruder,
which can then, by dexterous man
euvre, be pulled out. But this is one
Of the measures that had better be
left to the doctor, if one can be found
without unreasonable delay. Indeed,
nothing should be done by either
mother or nurse, if it is possible to
wait.
Very serious injury, resulting in
permanent deafness, has been caused
by bungling efforts to extract little
pebble that was for the time being
doing absolutely no harm: beyond
causing the mother needless alarm

Fighting U. Mohmnn.is.

Private Lever Q the Bluffs tells two characteristics Of lle fight in which he was hit when General Jeffery, with the mountain battery and escort, was hemmed in village all night by thou sands of Mohmunds. The wounded were lying under wall exposed to torrents ct rain and to showers of stones which the enemy hurlod down at them from houses near. It seemed impossible that any relieving force oould come to their aid before daybreak 0. that the mere handful of Bluffs could hold out much longer Thoir ammunition was running short. Then Lever heard one wounGed officer ask another, "How many shots have you got ill your revolver?" '.Only two : Then don't waste them, ola chap; keep one for me, the other for yourself. '
 When ammunition was so nearly ex- hausted that no orders wore given to fire until tho enemy could be distinctly seen, sudden rattle of irregular fro was heard on one side of the viIlago followed by savage yells. but no other sound. The few Bluffs holding n post in that direction stood with rifles loveled ready to fire yolloys directly rush was attempted. Tho eommotion came near. CT, and just as tho noncommissioned of. tioer i'll charge of that post had the command to present on his lips the flame from native gun flashed on bristling steel British bayonots had been doing their grin. work there in tho darkness so silently that nobody thought friends were so near. The relief had come. The enemy gave way, and min ute later Major Worlledge, with his companies of Sil1hs and guides, entered tho village. --l,ondon News.

Book Cover Desig1le ra.

One reason given for the success #of women as designers of book covers is their quick appreciation of the appropri- ateness of design and material for tho context of the book to be covered. They do not, for instance, clothe tho thouebts of Marcus ,AureliGs in pink and gold. although certain mystics believe pink to be the soul color Nor do they believe that Democracy Triumphant should wear a dress of purple flags. II is the artistic consistency they manage in the completion of dainty volume that makes their work popular At the Phil, ndelphia School of Design the girlt are given a subject onco a week-tne title of some b9ok-for which cover is to be made. Tho most successful designers of the books named last week --"The Queens of England, ; e'Kings md Queens of Scotland, '' s'The Bonnie Brier Bush and 'Poems''-were made by Miss Theodora M. Anderson. Miss Anna B. Kraus. Miss Mary S Graid, Miss Mario A. Morton, Miss Eva Cham. bers, Miss Maud Mueller and Miss Edna V. Free. The designs wero made in tho oolors i'll which they would be repro duced, and ono was drawn on the cloth which could be used, which is said to be better way for insuring the exact repetition of design, as tho binder may not always be able to match the color i'll the paper model.
 it is said this industry has increased rapidly since Archibald Leighton in 1929 introduced the cloth binding prod- uct asnow known. n.-New York Tribune.

Paine. Murphy q Co.'S stock Letter

BY Private Wire to Paine. Murphy & Co.
Birmingham, Ala, November 26.-The
nalf days market held it's peculiarities. but
the entire list, including the trust all
closed fractions to 1 point higher. with the
exception OF Chicago Gas. This is a good
property, but rumors of "watered" stock
caused realiz ng at the high figures. In
the legitimate or railway list attempts to
bring about further recessions were met
by good buying orders, and when a favor
able bank statement was posted the local
seapers covered. The Pacifics, which have
more or less run the gauntlet of opposition
and wrangles among the magnates, were
prominent on the belief that everything
had been settled. The Southern securities
continue prominent and are booked for still
higher prices. Reviewing the week finds an
unsettled market with Union Pacifics, the
grangers and Southern stocks higher and
the trust as rule lower Manhattan dur
ing this period had one of its monthly
manipulations on rumors of Vanderbilt and
Aston interests. 1t lost prominence in the
usual denials. Nothing definite regarding
Spain, but stocks hold as if the outcome
was ignored.
