1.-THE peculiar thing about the instru-
ment," continued the officer, rs that
while it is one of the simplest things
in the world to anyone who knows it's
secret, the most expert mechanic or in
ventor might examine it as long as he
wanted to and still be unable to dis
cover how it works. This is why rep
resentatives Of other navies have been
completely baffied in their efforts to
find it out. They have range finders
Of their own, but none that give the
same instantaneous and accurate re-
Suits And as long as they can be kept
in the dark we will be able to outshoot
any nation on earth, even If there was
no difference in the skill of the gun
ners.'
There is another advantage in the
use of the instrument which amounts
to considerable in the course of half a
dozen naval engagements 1t cost
81, 800 to fire a pair of 13-inch guns
once. If the Spaniards go into a fight
they must fire at least two shots to Sc
cure the range. Frequently these do
not answer, and they go on shooting
$3.50 charges in the air, while every
pound of powder that goes into Unit
ed States gun is utilized. The ability
of the American gunners to obtain the
exact position of the enemy before a
gun is fired saves thousands OF dollars
in ammunition in every engagement.

HOW DEWEY DID 1T.
Exhibit at Omaha Which in
Measure EXPLAINS the Feat.

Since the welcome news of Admiral
Dewey's remarkable victory at Manila
on the LIST of May was published
throughout the civilized world, it has
been matter for wonder everywhere,
not less in the United States than in
Europe, that the American gunners
We're able to destroy a Spanish squad
ron in a Spanish harbor without the
loss Of single American life. When
history repeated itself at Santiago two
months later the wonder was intensified.
In the Government building at the
Trans Mississippi Exposition is an ex-
nibit which in a measure explains the
mystery. This is a naval range finder
the invention Of United States naval
officer. Up to date no one outside of
Uncle Sans service has been able to
discover how it is operated The in
strument is shown in glass case with
various other nautical paraphernalia-
and Of course the attendants refuse to
answer questions as to its methods of
working.
In showing the enormous advantages
derived from the use of this instrument
one of the naval officers in charge of
the exhibit says:
1t is TACT tHdt no Otnor navy mas
any means of finding the range that
does not involve mathematical calcu-
lation This implies a good deal of
time lost, and in most cases they find
it quicker to get the range by actual
experiment. The Spaniards, for in
stance, have to fire several shots be-
fore they can get the range Of one of
Uncle Sans ships. If their shot falls
short they try again If their shot falls
apt to overshoot, and by that time the
position Of the vessels may have been
altered and they are still at sea. Mean
