MARRIAGE AND LIFE INSURANCE.

At the meeting of the conference on
charities and correction, held in Tor
onto, Alfred 0. Croizer Of
Grand Rapids, Mich, discussed Or
ganized and Unorganized Charity,
and submitted some suggestive
thoughts to the conference. Referring
to life insurance as a preventative
of poverty, he showed that within the
las thirty years $4,000, 900 had been

to remain seven days or such time as
may be necessary, to complete her re-
pairs and that meantime no steps will
be taken to have her leave.
At a late hour Saturday night the
officials of the navy department stated
that they had received no informa-
ton of SIMPSONS fleet beyond the AS
sociated Press dispatches announcing
it's arrival at Porto Plata. Porto Plata
is a small seaport on the North Do
minican coast. The French line ca
BILE runs through this point and also
runs down 10 Curacao, where the
Spaniards were sighted. Sampson
probably will put an at Cape Haytien
and it is from there that the first Of
fetal report from him is expected.
From Curacao to Porto Plata in
straight line the distance is about 500
miles, though going through Mono
Passage and circling around the cen
trail part of the North Dominican coast
to Porto Plata it probably would be
about 600 miles. This indicates the
stretch separating the two fleets. Since
last heard from Sampson has covered
a distance between $50 and 300 miles.
From Porto Plata to Havana, in which
direction Sampson is now going, is
760 miles. The Spanish fleet is now,
approximately based on straight line
calculation, about ] 200 miles from Ha-
vana, to reach which, however, it will
have to go through the Windward pas
sage. and risk a battle with SIMPSONS
fleet.

The new gun may be briefly describ-
ed as follows:
The field piece consists OF a cylindri-
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
muzzle ball bearings. the other half
consisting OF ring shrunk upon the
main tube near the muzzlc. Since the
bore is perfectly concentric with 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 apd sprocket wheels
similar to those on the bicycle for null
tiplying speed and transmitting power.
A small bevel gear. which surrounds
the gun. engages a larger one mounted
on the trunnions. This large wheel
carries on its shaft a small sprocket, to
which It is keyed A sprocket chain
leads from this TO large sprocket
wheel mounted on the trail The latter
wheel may be 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 OF twelve hun
dred revolutions per minutes is i'm
parted to the gun.
