THE TWELVE INCH NAVAL GUN.
New Weapon Ahead of Any Similar
Piece of Ordnance.

Washington, Nov. 1S.-The tests of the
new IL inch naval gun within the last
three days have resulted in some remark
able performances, emitting the gun to
rank ahead of any of the II inch guns
thus far made in this country or abroad.
1t was known that the tests had been
most successful, but it was not until Ad-
miral O'Neil received from Lieutenant
Straus, commandant of the Indian Head
proving ground, the detailed report of
the tests that it was known that the
monster weapon had cclipsed all former
records for velocity and power.
With Il charge of 360 pounds of smoke
less powder, giving pressure of 16M
tons per square inch. the gun gave Il
muz2lc velocity Of 2,S5i feet. Professor
Algcr, the naval expert, says this is the
highest ever attained by II inch gun
tile record thus far ranging from 2,5OG
to 2,G00 feet. With an 500 pound steel
tipped projcctile the big gun will pierce
any ainnor eyer made. Ii is the first OF 4(
guns which win 90 on the new battle

use distilled water in which definite
proportion of common salt and other
chlorides have been dissolved. This so
luton is warmed and is injected slow
ly into a vein at the bend of the elbow,
about a quart being used.
Often it is not even necessary to pour
the fluid into vein, but simply to in
ject it through one or more hollow
needles into the tissues beneath the
skin of the abdomen or the thigh.
This is done not only to supply an
equivalent for fluid lost in hemorrhaSe
or cholera, but also in certain diseases
in which blood poisoning exists. In
this latter case large amount of fluid
is injected slowly. and being taken up

Charming Landscape Effects and
Beautiful Floral Exhibits.
The Pan-American Exposition at Buff
falo next summer will possess unusual
charm for lovers of flowers and of
beautiful landscape effects. Perhaps
in recognition of this the members of
the Society of American Florists have
decided to hold their annual conven-
ton in Buffalo in 1901. Chicago was
anxious to win the convention, but in
view of the special attractions for its
members which the pan-American EX-
position will possess it was decided to
meet next year in the Pan n-American
city. The gathering will bring to Buff
falo about 1000 delegates and their
families from all parts Of the United
States. The floral features of the Pan
American Exposition and its landscape
effects will surpass anything ever seen
before by visitors to cXpositions held
in the United States. The laying out
of the grounds was done with the view
of providing for such attractions, and
