Guns For Bnttleships.

It appears that the tendency in the
British and the United States navies is
to reduce the number of guns and to in
crease their arcs of fire and also to have
no guns above inch caliber for sup
porting the 10 or 10 inch. This method
Of decreasing the number and caliber of
guns is an ideal theory for reducing
weights, but ships are built to carry
guns and to fight, and it would seem
better to reduce weights elsewhere than
in the battery and ammunition.
In an engagement between battleships
of similar armor and displacement
which one will probably be the victor?
There can be but one answer. twill be
the one that effectively delivers the
greatest amount Of steel against the 9TH
er ship. During the engagement each
ship will necessarily lose the use of nu-
merous guns and men, and therefore the
ship that carries the larger number of
gums aud that has q re,serve force of men
below in protected places for filling the
vacancies at the remaining guns will
certainly have the advantage, and some
obscure guns that are generally looked
upon with disfavor on account Of their
small arcs of fire may, at the critical
moment when their companions OF larger
arcs are dismounted, become the means
Of insuring victory. Lieutenant +. w.

Cutie A Chase!

The Highmore Bulletin locates
this interesting wolf chase north OF
Miller" "John Wilson, a farmer
boy Lying north OF Miller, had an
exciting and dangerous chase after
wolf few days ago. He noticed
the large gray fellow proving near
the sheep barn and attempted to
shoot him but could not get near
enough. He then mounted horse
and started after the wolf. The
animal, int mt upon carrying off a
sheep made large circle round and
around the barn, the boy close after
on the horse. Finally the horse be-
came exhausted and the boy went
to the stable and got fresh horse
and continued the chase, the wolf
still keeping his circle around the
sheet. The second horse tired out
and the wolf also was badly used up,
but could still run faster than the
tired-out horse. The boy determined
to have the wolf, jumped off the
horse, took off his shoes and gave
chase to the snarling and swapping
animal, which tarned upon him when
he overlook it. But the boy gath
cred up some stones and pelted the
vicious brute until he attracted the
attention OF some hunters who came
and dispatched the wolf with agun."

CLAW Savings Bank.

Children's savings banks of clay are
made in variety of forms, including
apples, pears, peaches, oranges and
little jugs; they are formed out of clay
and baked in the usual manner, and
they are then painted in colors in imi-
tation of the fruit or other object
which they represent in form. They
have but one opening, that being the
slot through which the money is
dropped. To get the money out again
it is necessary to break the bank.
Such banks are sold for the ordinary
purposes of a child's savings bank.
They are always pretty certain to be
among the things offered for sale in
five-cent stores or in stocks or lines OF
goods in which everything is offered
at a uniform price of five cents, that
being the retail price of the clay saw
ings banks, and they are often used to
collect money in for charitable and
benevolent, and other purposes.
Sometimes the breaking of the jugs
used for charitable purposes and the
counting of what they contain are done
in pubic. For such uses as these the
clay banks are sold by the hundred.
These clay savings banks are made in
this country and are sold in consider
able quantities. New York Sun.

ELECTRIC HEADLIGHTS.
Interesting Farts About Experiments Ia
Their Use.

The electric headlight for locomo-
t;ves has come we'll out of the ordeal
through which it passed while the
opposition to the innovation in certain
conservative quarters was active, and,
especially since it has been made to
carry its own little dynamo, and thus
supply itself with current, is extend
ing its good repute among railroad
men. 1t has been stated, however,
that with all it's merits, it has the
very serious objection of affecting the
visibility of the signal lights on the
front of the locomotive which carries
it. This question has been pat to the
test u a railroad which has special
interest in its settlement from the fact
of its having equipped twenty of its
locomotives with the latest form of this
headlight. The observing party sta
toned itself at the side of the track,
and locomotive bearing a powerful
electric light, backed away about two
miles and then started up at high
speed. The speed ranged, in fact,
through the different tests, from sixty
to ninety-fiv miies an hour. The
signal lights of white, red and green
were tried in their usual position
10 inches back, and then affixed to
brackets extending out sideways 20
inches from the smokebox.
From the somewhat imperfect rec.
ords of the tests which have been pub
lished it was shown that the lights
came out much palmer when put on
the pilot beam instead of on the upper
part of the smokebox. In this way
was secured the advantage OF having
them farther away from the headlight.
Another great improvement was de-
veloped by attaching to the headlight
an extension hood in the shape of a
tube stretching out horizontally in
front. In using this tube in sizes
ranging from 18 inches to 16 inches in
diameter, and RUIZ ming it out from four
inches to IA inches, in different expe.
riments, some most satisfactory re-
suits were attained, the color Of the
signal light being easily distinguished
up to a distance of 600 feet. This
when they were merely placed IN front
of the sn okebox, instead of in theil
usual position, 20 inches back. But
with the 16-inch headlight hood, ex-
tending four inches, green lights, even
with an unusually bright illumination
of the headlight, were visible about
1900 feet away. This further vindi
cation of the locomotive protector is
said to have appreciably quickened
the orders for it to supply houses, and
to have greatly increased the con
fidence of railroad men generally in
the electric headlight.-St Louis

Riches. Gold Mine in the World.

The Band Barton and Albion gold
mine, under the town OF Ballarat, in

gold mine yet known. It's supply OF
