An eminent French psychologist
having again given expression to the
theory that insanity and genius are
akin it would be interesting to have
the psychologists explain who so many
men of genius have been sane while
multitudes of insane persons have been
in no sense geniuses. Poe and Byron
offer excellent examples in support OF
the insanity theory, but how, on that
theory, are the psychologists going to
account for Thackeray or Dickens or
Sir Walter Scott or that eminently sane
and wholesome philosopher, William
Shakespeare?

pared to it, the largest gun built in

as sixteen-inca breech-londing rifle,

Some idea of the size and power of
this gun may be had from the fact
that it throws a projectile weighing
1870 pounds. 1t requires 1,176 pounds
of ordinary powder to do this, or SIC
pounds of the new smokeless powder.
The cost of single firing of the gun
is over 1880, of which the projectile
alone costs $1,000. The gun has a
range of twenty-one miles. 1t has a
pentrating power that will, it is esti-
mated, bore 42.3 inches into hardened
steel. The missile which it hurls is
nearly as long as man. feet and 4
inches. 1t will throw this projectile,

the shells leaving the gun and its

quarter. The best performance of any
gun up to this time is credited to a
s.45 caliber Krupp gun. In 1892 an ex-

SOME QUEER UNIFORMS

Col. Patten says that the military
occupation of Alaska presented a new
problem as to the particular clothing
needed to comfortably protect the men
in garrison or on the trail from the
rigors of that trying climate. The fur
and other heavy clothing furnished
troops at the most northern posts in
the states, being mantle thy inadequate
for the purpose, a supply list of extra
heavy clothing was made up for Alas
kan service The cost of this extra
supply per man was about $780, and
the secretary of war authorized that
amount to be added to the clothing al
lowance of enlisted men serving in
Alaska. Based upon experience, it has
been found advisable to eliminate
from future issues for Alaska Macki-
nav overcoats, shoe and boot pacs,
felt boots, wild cat caps and sweaters.
Mackinaw clothing not having proved
entirely satisfactory, especially in Sc
we're weather, a double-breasted can
vas, blanket-lined pea-jacket, blue in
color, with trousers of the same can
vas, but having lighter weight blan-
ket lining, has been devised as more
fully meeting the requirements of the
| country and viii. it is believed, eventu-
| ally supersede all the Mackinaw gar
| ments. A muskrat cap of improved
| pattern forms part of the clothing
shipped to Alaska this year. The ear
| flaps in front are extended to cover
| the cheek bones, small detachable
fur strap serves to protect the bridge
| and end of the nose from freezing
| while the lower corners of the flap lap
over and fasten by means of a snap
| fastener SO as to cover the chin.
| For field or trail purposes a garment
called a parka, made of blue denim,
having a hood trimmed with wolfskin
| and a lining at the cuff of the same
| kind of fur, has been specially manu-
featured and furnished to meet an
existing need not filled by the outer
garments heretofore supplied. The
muskrat mittens hereafter to be fur
nished troops in Alaska will have the
lining sewed in only at the cuffs so
as to enable the wearer to pull it out
and dry it when damp from perspira-
ton, which frequently happens. The
regulation heavy wooden underwear
| worn by troops in the states being
found from experience to be too light
for proper protection in Alaska,
heavy f1eece-lined garments have been
specially procured to afford a greater
amount of warmth during the severest
portion of the year. Owing to the
scarcity of transportation facilities
and the difficulty of communication
with the posts in Alaska, it has been
deemed advisable to keep at least one
years clothing supplies ahead of re-
uuirements In addition a reserve
depot has been established at Fort St
Michaels, well stocked with all ar
ticles of clothing, equipage and mate
rails essential to the climate, which
can be drawn upon at any time much
more expeditiously than by requisi-
lions to the United States By this
means the troops stationed in Alaska
have been and will continue to be ade-
ouately furnished with necessary
clothing supplies Washington Star
