WANTS A CHUNK
Ada Seifred Sues for a Large Share of
the Big Seven Property.

Ada Seifred, by her attorney in
fact, H. c.. Klenze, has instituted
suit in the district court of this coun-
ty against the Big Seven Mining
company to secure title to an undiv-
ided one fourteenth of the Jennie
Whipple mining claim, a on%e-four-
teenth of the Silver Horn, and one-
seventh of the Ada mining claim,
now the property of the Big Seven.
The complaint is one of the most
voluminous ever filed in this court.
In brief II %recites that plaintiffs
father died in 1893, leaving his es-
tate to plaintiff and six other child
rem, in equal shares. He was pat
entee of half of the Jennie Whipple
half of the Silver Horn and all of the
Ada. Geo. b. Seifred, a brother of
plaintiff, was later appointed her
guardian, at her written request.
She alleges that, later, Geo. B. Sci
fred filed application for permission
to sell her interest in the claims, but
the court did not authorize him to do
so. She alleges that he did, howev-
er, sell her interest in those claims to
the Jennie Whipple Mining compa-
ny, which transferred the property 20
the Big Seven.
Plaintiff alleges that, when she
signed the petition for the appoint
ment of the guardian, she did SC in
Ignorance of it's purport, she being
under age and not becoming of age
till Feb. 4, 81.
She asks for title to one-seventh
of her fathers interest in the claims
and an equal proportion of the pro

claims.

A REPRESENTATIVE PIRATE.


Captain Kidd Was Utterly without Any
Sense of Honor.
1t is said that Kidd showed no re-
pentance when he was tried, but insist
ed that he was the victim of malicious
persons who swore falsely against him,
and yet a more thoroughly dishonest
rascal sailed under the black flag.
In the guise of an accredited officer of
the government he committed the crimes
he was sent out to suppress. He deceiv-
ed his men. He robbed and misused his
fellow countrymen and his friends, and
he even descended to the meanness of
cheating and despoiling the natives of
the West India islands with whom he
traded. These people were in the habit
of supplying pirates with food and other
necessaries, and they always found their
rough customers entirely honest and
willing to pay for what they received,
for as the pirates made a practice of
stopping at certain points for supplies
they wished of course to be on good
terms with those who furnished them.
But Kidd had no ideas of honor toward
people of high or low degree. He would
trade with the natives as if he intended
to treat them fairly and pay for all he
got, but when the time came for him to
depart and he was ready to weigh an
Choir he would seize all the commodi-
ties he could lay his hands OIL and
without paying a copper to the distress
ed and indignant Indians he would gay
ly sail away, his black flag Haunting
derisively in the wind.
But although in reality Captain Kidd
was no hero, he has been known for q
century and more as the great American
pirate, and his name has been repre-
sentative of piracy ever since. Years
after he had been hung, when people
heard that a vessel with a black flag
OF one which looked black in the dis
tance-fying from its rigging had been
seen, they forgot that the famous pirate
was dead and imagined that Captain
Kidd was visiting their part of the coast
In order that he might find a good place
TO bury some treasure which it was nc
longer safe for him to carry about

The common idea as to the path of
the earth being fixed in space is tax
en- exception to by astronomers on the
ground that there are few if any things
in the domain of astronomy that can
really be called fixed space, that fact
being that unceasing changes are going
on, though these changes are generally
so slow as to escape the notice of a su-
perficial observer, but are fortunately
periodic, SO that they fall within the
possibility of computation. Thus the
earth's path is not fixed, since the
ecliptic undergoes a very slow change.
SO that, while at present it is a few Sec
onds more than 20 degrees ~ minutes,
in about 10, 900 years, astronomers cal
~culate, it will be reduced to % degrees
l5 minutes, after which it will begin to
increase again, a change so slow and
within such narrow limits that it can
produce no sensible alteration in the
seasons. kansas City journal.

DYNAMITE GUNS.
Fifteen Men In Relays Are Required to
Work Them.

Work Them.
Dynamite guns, such as are used upon
the Vesuvius, are operated upon an en-
tirely different principle from the ordi-
nary powder guns. They have engines
and boilers and air compressors and
coolers and all sorts Of intricate ma
chinery in a house not far away, by
which the projectiles are fired. The
dynamite or gun cotton or explosive
gelatin or whatever the explosive ma
terial may be is contained in the pro-
jectile only. This projectile is called an
'aerial torpedo" by the manufacturers
and is exploded by means of a fuse
similar to any powder guns.
Dynamite or any other high explosive
cannot be used in an ordinary cannon,
because the powder would explode the
dynamite before it left the gun, there
fore the system of using compressed air
came into vogue as the only method of
throwing dynamite to any distance. The
air is compressed and passed along
through various tubes before reaching
the gun and is used at about 1000
pounds pressure to the square inch,
which is much less than the power Of
powder. Dynamite will be exploded at
about 5000 pounds pressure to the
square inch. These guns are enormous
affairs, smoothbore, 80 feet in length,
made of the best iron, in three sections,
Hanged and bolted together and support
ed on a steel carriage. The carriage is
mounted upon a steel racing ring, so
called, and the system of handling is by
means of an electric motor. AS these
guns are covered by a large number Of
patents they are very expensive, costing
the government many thousands of dol
lars each. Fifteen men In relays are
required to work them.
The gunner stands upon a platform
III the left side of the carriage, uses a
fine telescope sight, and when all is
ready he pulls a lever which allows the
compressed air to enter the gun, and
the discharge takes place. These guns
are all loaded at the breeoh, and the
projectile Is handled by a separate car
riage. The projectile Is about 10 feet in
length for the 10 inch gun, and when
charged with 500 pounds Of dynamite
or gun cotton weighs fully 1000
pounds. 1t is a steel tube composed Of
walls three-sixteenths of an inch thick
and has a spiral vane at the real. The
fuse is a foot in length and weighs 30
pounds. This fuse contains two pounds
and a half of dry gun cotton and a few
grains Of illuminate of mercury as a de-
tonator. 1t is set to explode at impact
or as the gunner may desire as to time.
