KIND o. d Poetic Pl[0diSe.

Fancy owning jan island paradise in

lord and master OF saG South sea gem,
palm-crowned atoif, washed by the spark
ling blue waves Of the Pacific ocean and
separated by hundredstof miles of ocean
from all contact with civilization. It
is lot which allHwho have a trace of
romance in their COMPOSITION must covet,
yet its attainment in these modern days,
is practically an fmpoSsibiI1ty. You can
| not go and takeiaR island for yourself,
as they did half "a century ago, for the
simple reason that there are no unoccu-
pred ones left to t5ke. THE whole surface
of the Pacific has been SO thoroughly ex-
plored, crossed and lrecrossed in every
direction by theusandsof ships, that even
the tiniest of reefs has been discovered
| and given a name Every island fertile
enough to be worth the trouble has been
exploited by the white trader and mis-
| sionary, and has been annexed by one or
| other of the great European powers
You must be born to the role of the
island prince; you cannot achieve it,; but
| there happens to be a man now in San
Francisco who was lucky enough to sue
coed to such an inheritance.
Just century ago Capt Edmund Fan
ming was cruising in the Pacific in COM

The change from the present armament
will increase vastly the efficiency Of the
new battIeships. Kearsarge, Kentucky

Some American naval experts state that
it will double their usefulness as engines
of destruction in actual warfare.
At a recent land test at Indian Head
Md, T. F. Lane, the American agent
of the English company. demonstrated to
the satisfaction of the American experts,
with a six-inch model of the new gun,
that everything claimed for 1t in the
way of speed and accuracy. of fire, as well
as of velocity of projectile, could be sub
stantiated in practice. 1t Is probable
that the new gun will be almost imme-
diately introduced into the army, too.
The change Is radical and most impor-
tant. Contrary to the majority of i'm
provements in ordnance up to the pres
ent time, 1t is in the direction of a lighter
gun and less complicated machinery

Bile that branch will be run to Tanning
island, which is about thousand miles
due south of Honolulu. Thus there will
be direct communication from the States
to Australia and any part of the East,
and Tanning island will become a cable
station, in instantaneous touch with every
part of the world. There will be an end
to the seclusion which Is the greatest
charm of this life. Greig and his subjects,
instead Of receiving their mail once a
year, will be brought into the great whtrl

them to maintain their arcadian peace Of
mind under such conditions, familiarity
with all that is passing in the great world
will be to them as the poisonous fruit Of
the tree of knowledge and their Eden
will be forever shattered

The gun IS fired in the simplest man
ner possible The gunner swings open
the breech with one hand. An assistant
standing by, rams the shell in and after
it the powder charge. simultaneously
the firing prime is placed in the breech.
Under the old method this had to be put
in place after the breech of the gun was
closed. With a sweep of his arm the
gunner closes the breech and the gun
stands ready for firing.
The best record ever attained, with a
siX-inch gun under the cartridge syst m
was something less than five rounds a
minute. The model of the new six-inch
gun recently tested at Indian Head has
a record of having fired nine rounds a
minute from aboard a moving vessel
From stationary position it made the
record of eleven rounds a minute.
The fact that the British navy has
been employing this Vickers model on
every gun ranging in size from twelve
inches down to three for the last year.
and is placing this model on all of its
new vessels, is regarded as proof of its
superiority over any other gun in exist
ence. American experts bsIieve, how
ever, that the models for the larger guns.
now in use in the navy are superior even
to the recently adopted English model,
and will continue to make the nine. ten
eleven and twelve-inch guns after tbs
pattern now used.

George Void, OF Waco while hunting
lost cattle in the eastern portion of Ell
Paso county, near the boundary line of
Texas and New Mexico discovered a
cave which appearances indicate was the
burial place of ancient people, 80.
The cave may have been artfficially
followed out of a big rock at the foot
Of one of the Guadalupe hills near the
state border The appearance of the en-
trance and the regularity of the interior
portion of the hollow in the rock suggests
that 1t was either partially or wholly
made by hand. The walls are scratched
with something that may be hieroglyphics
made by an extinct race, and If some
savant acquainted with those obsolete
writings should go there he might dis
cover that they are the epitaphs Of the
dead persons whose remains are still to be
found scattered On the floor and in inches.
When Mr.. Void and his companions en-
tered the cavern they found that other
explorers had preceded them, and nor
lions of the mummified bodies had been
removed. There were seven thoroughly
dried up, and one of them Is obviously a
female. The latter relic Mr.. Void appro-
pr:ated, and he brought portion of It.

Everything indicates that centuries

ence of which only became known within
the last two years by reason Of the cav

for the welfare Of the black. Every year
a vessel takes the boys home, each one
the possessor of a priceless stock of trade,

batch of boys is only too willing to visit
Tanning island, and so, year in and year
out, the uneventful life Of the little COM
munity goes on.
But there is a danger ahead, and the
isolation Of the group threatens to be-
rudely disturbed. The long talked-o

reality. Because of its central position,
the British have chosen Tanning as a
resting place for the cable which is to

resolutions of remaining a bach

artistically festooned with ever
greens and the chancel railing
was cntwlned with vines and
flowers.
A large company of friends as
sembled to witness the scene.
Promptly at the appointed
hour the handsome couple pre-

Edna Livingston and Willie Lou
BObbltt, who as flower girls
with baskets of flowers scattered
roses along the way, marched
slowly and majestically up the
aisle to the music of a beautiful
wedding march, played by Mrs.
George Reddick.
They stopped directly in front
of the chancel, and, while the or
gan continued in an undertone
strains of rare, sweet music,
Rev. Howard Dutll repeated the
marriage ceremony of the Meth
Odist church and spoke the words
that made the two loving young
people husband and wife.
They then repaired to the resi-
dence of the BRIDES parents where
feast of good things was served.
After much mirth making and a
jolly good time, they left for
Lowell their future home, with
congratulations and best wishes
of host of friends.

daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. L A.
