assassin, paid the laws penalty at the
state prison at Auburn, n. Y, Tuesday
morning. He met death stoically. II

enemy OF the good people-the good

my father was his final utterance as he
was led to the electric chair, supported on
either side by guards. He had declined TO
accept religious comfort or see the priests,
and even TO his brother his manner had
been curt and surly. Only about 20 per-
sons witnessed the execution, which was
entirely successful. He was quickly
strapped in the chair and the electrodes
attached. current of 1900 volts was
thrown into the body, which stiffened and
tugged at the straps. Then the current
was gradually weakened. This process
was twice repeated. BY instruments the
physicians then ascertained that heart
action had ceased and he was pronounced
dead. Only four minutes was required for
the entire execution. An autopsy showed
the brain to be fully up to normal. Czol-
gosz's relatives did not claim the body,
and it was buried in the prison yard.

ticing with a dummy cartridge
Everybody knows that II the gun is held
firmly to the shoulder 1t does not seem to
kick as much as when held loosely. The
words recoil and kick have come to be
used INTERCHANGEABLE. but the idea is a mis-
taken one. The recoil is perceptible whether
the gun be held firmly to the shoulders or
not. but the kick is actually less IL it be
held firmly. The momentum of the gun will
be the same. but the resulting energy will
be less because added to the weight Of the
gun will be the weight Of the gunner's body.
The above illustration gives cleverly
photographed idea Of the effect Of the re-
coil upon both gun and gunner. In this I'm
stance the gun Is held closely to the Shout
der and there Is perceptible jump in the
barrel in addition to the push" which the
marksman experiences
Considerable experimenting has been done
with different kinds Of powder in an effort
to determine which produces the greatest
recoil, and 1t has been decided that the
manner Of holding the gun itself has as
much to do with It as the kind Of powder
burned. In other words, the distance man
is pushed back by the recoil depends. not 50
much on the momentum OF the recoil itself
as upon the amount OF freedom Of move
uent the gun has before It Is compelled 10
move the weight Of the body, too. In other
words, Il the gun is held loosely. the mans
shoulder will be driven back farthest; II 1t
Is held firmly he will be driven back least.

He is employed by the Boston and Maine
Railroad. and Is obliged to be at work at

from to at night he is hard at work.
He reaches home shortly before and
quires no coaching. At the finish of the
spin he generally takes q plunge into the
salt water. A good rundown follows. and
Greer Is ready to retire for the day.
Occasionally he takes cross-country run
with the other oarSmen, but from now on
will omit the running. for he now believes
he is at the right weight.
He is in bed at 10 o'clock, and owing to
this reason. probably more than any other.
Ten Eyck is known to be much over
weight, and will have hard work to get
himself in condition for the race.
