NEW TYPE OF WAR WEAPON.
Guns In the British Navy Are thu
Maryels of the World.

During the last two years, says Lon
don Tit-Bits, the British navy has been
strengthened by the addition of a new
type Of gun, which will undoubtedly go
a long way toward insuring the suprem-
acy Of Great Britain over the seas
for many years to come. This gun Is
known as the 12-inch steel and wire
gun, and is not only the best weapon
which the royal navy has ever had, but
is far superior to any gun possessed by
any foreign power.
Although it weighs only fifty tons,
the new gun will be the heaviest in the
service, seeing that it Is taking the
place Of the 11O, 100 and 8O-ton guns, of
which no more are to be made. What
the new weapon lacks in weight, how
ever, 1t makes up in power, being cap
able of throwing shells distance of no
less than twenty miles. No accuracy
Of aim could, of course, be obtained
or maintained at this long distance, the
effective range being $4,000 yards. or
between nine and ten miles.
Although the gun is forty-one feet In
length, and has the amazing muzzle
velocity Of 1857 feet per second, the
projectile weighing $50 pounds. Each
man-of war will carry four of these
formidable weapons, and when the
navy is supplied they will be issued to
forts on the sea fronts. One very great
advantage over other guns Is that the
breach mechanism Is Of a very simple
design, easily taken to pieces and put
together again, and can be worked by
one man.
What is undoubtedly the biggest and
heaviest gun in the world has lately
been built by Uncle Sam at the United
States Arsenal, Watervliet, N. Y. It's
range is claimed to be one mile more
than the 12-inch steel and wire gun
with which the British navy is being
supplied, but it is nearly three times
the weight. Altogether the new Amer
lean gun weighs 134 tons, is nearly fifty
feet long and fires a projectile weigh
ing no less than 2,37O pounds.
Machinery to the value of $5O0,O00 had
to be specially built in order to make
this gigantic weapon, the actual maxi
ing Of which has taken about four
years. In spite Of it's enormous bulk
and weight, however, the gun is as cas-
lily handled as the lightest field piece.
The breach block weighs one ton, but
it is so contrived that child could OPP
crate the machinery which opens it and
swings it clear. In fact, every part of
the gun is built as accurately at the
works of a watch.
In addition to the fact that this gun
is said to possess the longest range Of
any weapon in the world. it is claimed
that shot fired from it into the air
would reach an elevation of nearly six
miles. The greatest height reached by
a Krupp shell in it's flight was a little
over four miles. The muzze velocity
Of the American gun is 1900 feet per
second. and the projectile backed by
SIS pounds Of smokeless powder, will
penetrate nearly forty-three inches of

A FINE BREED OF DoGs.-The Rev.

story of a friend Of his who once at

he stopped suddenly, II have dog at

MEDICINE INSTEAD OF ROPE.
National Peace Conference Delegates Think

Mystic, Conn, Aug. S0.-The Univer.

adopted series of resolutions on "con-
victions." Lynching is declared to
be monstrous peace breaker and state
and national legislation looking to its
suppression is demanded. Race hatred
and prejudice is denounced as a mem
ace to peace. IF there be uncontrol-
liable passions in the depraved intended
victim of lynching," the resolutions
say, there is remedy which medical
skill may well be called upon to heal,
as 1t would any other diseased condi-
ton; for the increase Of sensual GRIM
inality forces the suggestion that this
remedy, administered with wisdom and
the best surgical ability, would be pro-
lection to. society and kindness and
mercy to the offender"
Newspapers, the resolutions declare,
should not be war makers by being
sensational and unwarranted news
mongers.

COAL TRUST IN KANSAS.

Topeka, Kan, Sept. &c. C. Cole
man, attorney general, will make his
first move against the Usage county
coal trust by collecting data in regard
to the increase in the cost of labor

the inquiry of the state commissioner
of labor statistics and will have infor-
nation enough before him to make a
case against the coal operators by
the end of the week.
The attorney general suggests as a
remedy that the coal mined at the peni-
Tertiary mines be admitted to the gen.
eral market in competition with the
Usage county coal. However, he says
this plan could not be put into opera
ton before the winter of 1905, as a
state law now prohibits the sale Of
penitentiary coal on the open market.
