cation, while the other two, equally Well
known and proficient, the Alice band OF
Butte and the Black Eagle of Great
Falls, came in with A~malgamated dele
cations from their respective cities.
The members of the different bands
are having a good time while in the
city. Most of them have met on former
occasions of this kind. and last evening
was largely devoted to renewing old &C
quaintances and incidentally making a
few new ones. The Alice band Is stop
ping at the Grandon, the Black Eagle
at the Grand Central, and the Boston q
Montana at the Helena.
Of the three bands, the Alice has been
in existence the longest. Organized In
1880, 20 years ago, it has grown from a
= small, amateur band, to one of the
strongest and best musical organizations
in the west, having a membership OF ~.
, George w Pierce is the leader of the
band
What could be said of the other bands,
as far as their ability to furnish first
class music is concerned, would apply
with equal force to the aggregation of
90 players constituting the Black Eagle
band of Great Falls. While they have
not been organized as long as some of
the others, they have lost no time in
mastering the art. The band was formed
in 1894. M. Bornhardt is it's leader.
The Boston & Montana band has some
of the best musicians in the state, and is
able at all times to sustain Its reputa-
ton for high-clasS work. The band has
been in existence since 1887 and for sew
eral years has been a conspicuous figure
at conventions and public functions gen.
orally. Samuel Treloar yields the hator
for the band.

to the front of the stage and said:
Ladies and Gentlemen: If there is in
this audience any young man who would
like to know the nam of his future wife,
if that young man will kindly stand up I
will undertake to tell him and this is no
guessing competition. Now, will any sin
gle young man kindly stand up?"
Up jumped a young man in the center
of the room.
Thank you," said the conjuror. Now
do you wish to know the name of your
ture wife?"
II do" said the young man.
"Well," said the man of magic. II al
ways like to do things in a proper bust
ness fashion. Will you kindly give me
your name?"
Eyes, certainly" said the young man.
"My name is James Jackson"
"Thank you, replied the cOnjurer.

ing to the capacity Of the gun, with the
accuracy of modern artillery. Should it
miss the firing object and fall within
t~hlrty-one feet Of the target, the effect
would then be as a submarine mine
powerful enough to destroy a battleship
hve or six miles at sea.
The gun may be I'M by the same
crew that handles the modern 12-iuch,
and the breech, weighing $500 pounds,
may be opened by a single man. The
gun is massive, but perfectly adjusted
and equipped with the most improved
apparatus to operate it.
In the fall of 1898 a test of the gun was
made at Sandy Hook for the benefit of
ordnance officers. The secretary of war
ordered than an obstruction be erected
which the Gathmann III could not de-
'stroy after one round. Accordingly the
authorities built a structure of 10 by II
inch oak, with a 10-inch nickel steel plate
as the target center and a backing con-
sisting of 100 tons of sand. The de-
struction in The line of fire was absolute
after one shell had been fired the
heavy target was a complete ruin. Inc
inventor contends that the efficiency OF
such a torpedo shell when exploded 10y
the Gathmann gun is equal to many
rounds of the most powerful and modern
war weapon now in use. This is gen
orally admitted by experts.

SEIZED LIFE LINE
And an Intelligent Horse Was Saved
From Drowning.

From San Francisco comes a story of
a horse that saved its life by holding to
a rope with it's teeth. At the time of the
incident the horse was being led across a
gang plank to a BOAT. The footing whistle
of a tug caused the horse to shy into the
water. There was no place for the I'M
fortunate %creature to get out and it look
ed as if it would have to drown. AS a last
resort a man threw a coil of rope out to
the horse. The line no sooner struck the
water than the intelligent animal seized
it between it's teeth and heled on. In this
way it's head was kept above water until
a boat came. A hawser was fastened
around the horses neck and the crea-
ture was tOwed ashore. The horse was
valued at 81. 600, and after it's unexpected
plunge was loaded ABOARD ship and went
to Tacoma.

THE GATHMANN GUN.
The Most Powerful Artillery in the
World.

Washington, Sept. 1.-The Bethlehem
Iron company has now completed the
construction of the great eighteen inch
Gathmann torpedo gun which was order
ed some months ago, and, according to
the contract with the GathHnann Gun
company, if the tests to be made at
Sandy Hook this fall prove as successful
as previous exhibitions at the govern
ment proving grounds at Indian Head
and at Bethlehem, within the next year
the United States coast defense will be
supplied with a more powerful artillery
weapon than is in use at the present
time by n of the great bowers of the
world.
The object of the inventor in designing
the u was to enable the firing of shells
containing high explosives which are eff
fective on impact and proof against pre-
mature disaster. The shell used by the
Gathmann system is constructed on a
plan similar to that on which the Wash
ington was built. Starting at
the base the shell with 100 per cen of
strain pressure, it gradually decreases
until at the extreme end of its nose the
pressure is zero. Thus the walls of the
Gathmann torpedo she'll support their
own weight only and there is no unnec-
essary pressure at the shells base. When
constructed in this manner it is charged
with 600 pounds of wet gun cotton, which
is a more powerful explosive thar dyna-
mite. Its total weight is then 1900
pounds.
Here it is interesting to note the diff
ference between wet gun cotton and gun
cotton dry. The latter is highly infiam-
mable and will ignite under 250 degrees
of heat. 1t will also explode or detonate
easily. But when saturated with water
it is completely transformed mi 5000
degrees of heat are required to detonate
it. This degree of heat is above that of
powder explosion and double that of a
blast furnace. 1t can only be obtained
| by using a illuminate and dry gun cotton
as a fuse. Wet gun cotton may be
thrown into an open fire without the
slightest danger, or fired into with a
white-hot shot: in fact, it may be sub
| mitted without risk to any severe ordeal
short of decorating a sufficient fuse
charge in close contact with it. When
this latter is 0 the hitherto harmless
struction. The fuse of the gun is there
fore an important feature II performs
the chief functions in firing The aerial
torpedo shells. Another item essential n
the system is a new powder compound
prepared by the Gathmann formula. A
| description of this powder canno. be
given at this time, however, bur soon its
usefulness and novelties will be made
public.
Tn gun is A feet in lngth and weigh.

insulating power to replace both tele-
graph poles n porcelain insulators.
To ascertain this. some interesting ex-
periments We're made by r. Lespian, at
the request of DIR. Jansen, the head of
the observatory. A double line was laid
between the Grands Mulets at the sum-
nit, and the peculiar mass of rocks
known as the Petits Mulets, near the
base. Ordinary galvanized iron, an eighth
of an inch in diameter, was used. It
was stretched bare on the ice. the two
conductors, each of $500 feet in length,
lying about sixteen feet apart. For the
purpose of testing the insulation of the
line. the two wires wer left diconnected
at the lower station. while at the upper
they wer placed in circuit with a delicate
ammeter and a battery of eighteen large
Leclanche cells. On pressing down the
key, the needle of the ammeter did not
o at all, but remained steadily at it's
zero. The n of the wires at the lower
station were then pinned together, and
when the battery was reduced to three
cells, the needle flew at n C over to the
limit of the scale. and remained there,
pointing to so milliamperes. These two
measurements clearly indicated that the
insulation of h line was excellent.

ICE INSULATION FOR WIRES.
Experiments on the Mont Blanc Tele-

From Engineering: 1t is a matter not
simply of convenience but of vital i'm
portance that o~bserrvatories situated on
the tops of high mountains should be
able to keep up constant Geographic
communication with stations at a lower
level. Storms often rage for days and
weeks at high attitudes, with such vio-
lence as to defeat all attempts at reach
ing the observers; telegraph posts are
swept down by bowling winds and buried
under masses of snow, while the wires
themselves frequently give way under
the severity of the strain. Realizing
these difficulties, n fully alive to the
serious consequences of prolonged isOla-
ton in their storm beaten home. the au-
thorities of Mont Blanc wisely bethought
themselves of inquiring whether the ice
which perennially covers the slopes of
the mountain might not possess sufficient
