n few hours, returning by way of Den
YER that night to Colorado Springs.

peka, Lawrence, Baldwin and Ottawa,
Kansas, making brief stops at these

Sunday, June 9th. and the morning
of June 10th, will be spent in Kansas
City. In the afternoon the party Will
go to st. Joseph and remain there for
several hours, leaving at 9:3O p. m. for
Chicago. On the way to Chicago, the
following morning. brief stops will be
made at Davenport, and Moline, and
the President will visit the arsenal at
Rock Island.
1t is expected the train will reach
Chicago about $50 p. m, and the
President will probably attend BAN
quet there that evening, leaving at
night for Buffalo, where he Is to visit
the Pan-American Exposition. .y--
June 18th will be spent at the expo

Tho fntn1 distance travelled will Dp
about 10.5OO miles, crossing twenty
three states and territories. and touch
ing the Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific
ocean and the Great Lakes. Twenty
seven railroads are embraced in the
itinerary. Wherever feasible the state
capitals are visited. Local programs
are arranged covering the cities mt
which stops are made. A feature OF
the trip will be n substitution Of drives
for receptions. thus more fully accom-
mOdating the people than would be pos
sible at n short reception. The recep-
ton committees will be received at the
cities they represent, the various local
committees having cordially cO-opernt-
ed IN this respect. as well as In others,
in an endeavor to make the journey Of
the President and his party n most en-
joyabie and interesting one.
While the president may make short
addresses at several of the large cities,
and at some of the colleges and uni
versities, 1t is not at all likely he will
make as many speeches as have been
delivered in the course Of previous
trips. N

NEW SIx-INCH GUN.
Decided at tke war Department That
Ewort VIII Bs Made 10 Sc
care "a Better We2Don.

1t has been decided that a new six
inch rapid-fire gun is to be construct
ed at the war department in an effort
TO secure a better gun of that type
than has been purchased abroad by
the navy department. The gun is to
be built at the Bethlehem steel works
and must give a muzzle velocity of
3,000-foot seconds and be capable of
being fired at the rate of at least
5000 pounds per minute at 2,50O-foot
seconds velocity. The distinctive feat
ures of this gun will be the breech
mechanism, patented by the Bethle-
hem company. The navy department
recently purchased the right to use
the breech mechanism of the Vickers
people in England, the sum paid be-
ing s25o,Oo0.
The Bethlehem mechanism is sup
posed to be an improvement on the
,Vickers. Some recent tests made with
the Vickers device, it is said, resulted
in gun being fired as many as ten
shots per minute.
The guarantee in the case of the
Bethlehem mechanism ia eight rounds
in the same period, and there is a
hope, of course. that the yickers
achievement will be surpassed.

LAMB BREAKS UP A SCHOOL.
Animal Mueh Resembling Mary's Re-

Hfm Out, Upsettfn@ stove.

In 80 seconds a snow-white lamb,
belonging TO a flock that was being
driven past the new schoolhouse on
the Short Tract road the other day at
Nunda, n. y, routed the entire school,
frightened Miss Alice Ray, the teach
err, into Mysteries. and forced the trus-
tees to hold a special session to APP
propriate money to repair the damage
the lamb had done.
Its the sweetest little lamb, Just
the kind that followed Mary to
school," Miss Ray said to her pupils
as the lamb dashed into the room.
The pupils thought SO, too, until Miss
Ray began to pet the lamb and show
it toward the door. Then the little
animal began racing around the
schoolroom. 1t collided with the stove
and knocked leg from under it and
it fell in a heap. The Goals scattered
all over the floor, starting a fire.
Miss Ray and the pupils broke for
the door and escaped. followed by a
binding smoke. They carried snow
and water and put out the fire. The
lamb was extricated by John Bennett,
who was driving the flock Miss Ray
went home suffering from nervous
proStration and school broke up for

Pointed Criticism ON Army
Conservatism.

Louis Gathmann, the Chicago inven-
tor, has fund Of funny stories, most of
them dating back to the days when he
lived in Germany. He tells one story in
particular to illustrate why it ia that
army ordnance officers invariably dis
courage new ideas in gunnery instead
of welcoming inventions, as persons in
charge Of any private enterprise would
naturally do. when I went to Holland
as boy said the shrewd old inven tor,
Il had an experience with ordinary
army methods have never forgotten.
1t seems there was guard posted at a
certain corner for some twenty-odd
years. The sentry was relieved every
four hours or so without the slightest
question during all that time.
Finally some one began to question
why a guard was posted at that par
ticular corner ct al. laborious
search was instituted among the old
army records, and finally, to the amuse-
ment of everybody. the reason for that
sentry was at last discovered. It seems
that fence was painted on that cor
ner, and to keep the people from soiling
their clothes some well-disposed officer
stationed soldier with gun there.
The paint dried on the fence and the
fence fell down, and the corner was
built up with another building, but the
sentry still paced his beat there for 20
years or more
In this way some of our army tradi-
tions have been kept up. and officers
who are both brave and intelligent have
gone on doing certain things in GER
tain way because a method was initi-
ated in the department .ong years ago

SUBSTITUTE FOR BENZINE.
Germany OMews a Premfmm OF Two
Hundred and Fifty Dollar. for
Such an Article.

Consul Hughes, at Coburg, Germany,
reports to the state department that
for years a substitute for benzine has
been in demand. The Objectionable
points about benzine are its high in
fiammability and volatility, the danger
of poisoning the atmosphere. etc. This
was one of the chief topics of discus
sion at Hanover. and this fall the sub
ject came up once more at the meet
ing at Cassel, when premium of about
$3.50 was offered for an effectual sub
stitute for benzine, or for means of
rendering it less dangerous. Here is
good chance for American genius.
