THE VALUE OF RAPID FIRE.
Many Lessons to Be Learned From the Spanish War Both Old
 ana New,

R. Wainright In the United Service.
 There are many lessons, some of them new. more of them old, to be learned from the Spanish war. Throughout his tory vessels have been destroyed by fire during sea fights. In the battle of Nav arino the shell guns of the allies set on fire and destroyed many of the Egyptian ships. When iron and steel vessels came into fashion much woodwork was re- tained. There were many protests and some dimunition in the quantity used until at the battle off Ialu, when the necessity of a further reduction was greatly emphasized. The sight of the three armored cruisers burning on the beach near Santiago was sufficient to move the most conservative.
 The value of rapid fire has long been known. In the earlier stages, when bal listics were a mystery accurate aim was fective work had to be at very short ranges at nearly point blank, and fre- quently with yardarms interlocked. With more improved guns and ammunition, ac- curacy as well as rapidity had to be attempted. Collingwood was justly noted for the thorough manner in which he trained his crews in all gunnery exer- cises. In our navy of late years much care and attention has been devoted to- ward developing accurate and rapid fir ing. Many have wondered at the inn munity of our fleets in both of the battles of Manila and Santiago. It was largely due to the accurate and rapid ire or our ships. A hall of projectiles were poured upon the enemy. and before they could develop their fire their batteries were partially disabled and the nerves of their gunners were thoroughly shaken.
 In connection with rapid and accurate firing, smokeless powder becomes of value Its advantages were fully illus trated in the war. For many times when otherwise our guns might have been fired with effect the enemy was ohscured by the smoke of our own guns. Probably many of the complaints brought agalhst turret guns were due to the difficulty of laying the guns on the enemy because of the smoke.

Expenses at Oxford and Cambridge

me GentIeWOman.
 There is always a tendency on the part of an author who does not happen at the time to be an undergraduate at the Varsity to please parents by putting the necessary expenditure of their sons at an unfairly small figure. One author puts this sum at 1UO pounds year. and another at 200 pounds; but the average Oxford man who is well dressed. who belongs to his college athletic club and wine club, an4 to Nincents, and who, without beiES in any way extravagant. joins in the social life of his college, will tell you that 250 pounds year is the least sum that he can keep his expenses down to, and that every compound note adding up to 300 pounds makes a great difference in the pleasures opened to him.
 Of this expenditure probably from 100 pounds to l20 pounds will be paid to his college for "battels," the term used for rent. tuition, food, etc, which can hardly count against pin money" If a man hunts-and hunting is not such popular amusement now as 1t was form crly at OXford-if he plays polo. if he belongs to number Of the clubs, or is eXtraVagant in dress. hts expenditure easily rises to four, five or even six hum dred pounds, but the most liberal-minded of guardians would be justified in con sidering such sum excessive
 The expenses of a man at Cambridge are on all four with those of an ONtord man

Helen Grantly's Gowns.

One OF the most attractive fea-
lures OF the revival of "The Tam
ing OF the Shrew" is the gowns
worn by Miss Helen GRAVITY who
plays Katherine. The garments
were especially designed for her by
Worth of Paris, and it is said that
III making them the great dress
maker has surpassed all of his pre-
vious efforts in stage attire. The
richness of the fabrics, the exquis
lite patterns and the elaborate en-
belllshments combine to render
them models of grace and beauty.
Wherever these dresses have been
seen this season feminine theater-
goers have openly expressed their
admiration. Their cost is reported
to be not less than $500. Miss
Grantly is particularly we'll suited
by nature to wear such artistic and
costly garments for she is of strik
ing personal beauty both as regards
lace and figure. Last summer the
cable flashed the news from London
that her portrait had been selected
by the Photographs Convention as
an ideal type of Grecian beauty.
The Tanning of the Shrew,' in
which the well known Shakesperian
STAR Charles B. Hanford, will play
Petruchio, will be presented in this
city Thursday, March Goth. Make
no other engagement for that even
ing.

Wheat Damaged Near Colfax.

Colfax, March 2.-Reports of SER
lous damage to fall sown wheat
continue to come in and there now
seems little doubt that large per
cent OF the wheat sown last fall has
been winter killed. This is due to
tha>taet that there was little or no
snow on the ground when the
ground froze to depth of several
inches and the grain was killed. J..
K. Wicks, . prominent farmer liv-
ing south of here, was in Colfax
yesterday and stated that nearly all
his fall sewn wheat was killed and
will have to be resoEn. Mr.. Wieks
said the same was true of the wheat
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1902-03-08

of many of his neighbors and that
hundreds of acres of grain will have
to be resown.
Ben Burgunder of Colfax says
fully 80 per cent of the winter
wheat is killed and some estimates
place the loss as high as 70 per
cent. Edward Johnson, who has
2600 acres of land lying between
here and the Snake river, of which
1900 acres is in fall wheat, says he
has not examined his wheat re-
Gently, but that his neighbors re-
port heavy damage and he thinks
about half the crop has been de-
stroyed.
If these reports be true, and they
are made by responsible farmers,
the condition is rather serious, for
there is less wheat in the country
than ever before at this season of
the year. Fully 50 per cent of the
crop of 1901 has been sold and
many farmers may be compelled to-
buy wheat for seed. Wheat is now
about eight cents higher here than
the relative prices in Chicago, and
if the warehousemen are called up
on by the farmers for seed wheat it
is feared the prices demanded will
be almost extortionate.
An unusually large acreage of
winter wheat was sown last fall
and the reseeding of this will re-
quire a large amount of seed wheat.
Farmers expected to SOW larger
acreage than usual Of spring wheat
and it is feared there is not more
than enough wheat now in the
country to supply the demand.
Millers expect to be compelled to
close their mills before long because
of lack of wheat to grind until the
new crop GENES in. The reports
of damage come from all parts of
the Palouse country.
