RESULTS OF "SUFFRENn TESTS.
Complete Account of Firing Experiments
in French Navy.

Very complete accounts have been pub
iished of the firing tests that were car
ried OUT by order of the French navy
department against the turret of the bat
tleship Suffren, in the harbOr of Brest,
on August Is last. A few additional
particulars from an official source will
however, be read with interest. Two
rounds were fired at the turret Mt Il dis
lance of 100 meters (32S feet. with the
full service charges from a 12-inch gun,
the heaviest caliber in use by the French
marine. Both projectiles were broken
up against the turret, not only without
damaging the armor plates. but without
causing any arrangement of the turret
mechanism. No serious shock was ex-
perienced, as was proved by the fact
that the sheep placed within the turret
were found to be absolutely uninjured
and apparently unalarmed. After the
second round had been fired, the turret
was worked electrically by the ordinary
crew. All the movements for training
in direction and height, as we'll as those
operating the ammunition hoists, were
found to be in absolutely good working
order The amount of current
EMPLOYED for working the turret
and its accessories was exactly the same
as was required before the experiments.
a fact which showed that no derange-
ment had taken place to cause increased
friction This is very important result
and appears to justify the decision of
the French admiralty in equipping all
their modern ships with electric power
instead OF hydraulic. The navy depart
meEt is also we'll satisfied with the re-
suits obtained, as proving the satiSfac-
tory form of construction, and excellence
of material employed in the turrets. and
it is considered that costly as the expert
ment was, the result obtained fully re-
paid the outlay. 1t is matter OF inter
est TO note that the phole Of the cleo
trica installations of the "Suffren" tur-
ret were manufactured by Messrs. Saul
ter. Harle & Co. of Paris and that their
system is now officially adopted in the

Coal Lands to Be Sold.

Four hundred and forty thousand
acres of high-grade bituminous coal lands
in Indian Territory will be sold nj auc-
ton by the federal government within the
next two years. These lands now belong
to the Choctaw and Chckasaw Indians.
The value of the land is not hard to esti-
mate. Experience has proved that the
coal vein averages feet in thickness, or
1000 feet TO the acre. In order to re-
move the entire vein it is necessary to
brace the roof with timber supports, and
in some instances it may prove more eco
nomical 10 leave pillars of coal. 1t is
said that the territory's coal fields Will
eventually yield 1.70O.0O0.OOO tons of
coal. A considerable part of the lands is
already being profitably worked on thir-
ty-yeNr leases, the lessees paying S cents
ton. mine run" for the coal taken
out Under this arrangement the mines
would approximately yield $500 an acre.
The leases now in existence will be sold
ut the same time as the coal lands.

SOLVE SERVANT GIRL PROBLEM.
Cooperative Boarding Association Is
Formed with Object in View.

Thirteen families, comprising twenty
nine citizens of the best social and bust
ness standing of the village of Holley,
have formed what they term a Co-opera-
tive Boarding association, their object be-
ing the solution of the servant girl prob
lem. The idea is unique and has at
tracted no little attention, not only in
Holley, but in all the surrounding towns.
The object and scope of the association
are well explained in the following rules
which have been adopted:
/. Its officers shall be president,
secretary, treasurer and three trustees,
each selected for three months.
=. The supplies shall be purchased by
a supply committee, consisting of two
members to be appointed by the presi-
dent. They shall serve for term of
two weeks. such term to commence and
end on Monday morning Bills for such
supplies must be obtained by the com
mittee before the expiration of its term
and presented to the trustees for audit
ing.
3. The trustees shall upon the auditing
of the bills turn them over to the sccre-
tary for payment by order on the treas
urer.
4. The trustees shall, from the list Of
bills and expenses, figure the pro rata eX-
penSe for the two weeks and post the
same in the dining room each week, not
later than Monday, for the benefit of the
members. The trustees shall make list
of each members Indebtedness, including
deductions for absences or additions for
visitors, and give it to the secretary for
record. The secretary shall file it with
the treasurer for collection, members to
pay such Indebtedness not later than
Tuesday.
5. Supplies outside of the regular table
supplies, such as fuel, water and light,
shall be purchased and payment be ar
ranged for, if expansion of time is need
ed. by the trustees.
8. A book will be provided in which
members will record absences and yis
ors, giving date. number of meals and
what meals. This record will be con-
suited in making out the members ia
debtedness, and any variation of more
than one days board in two weeks will
be allowed for or added 70, as. the case
may be.
Z. In figuring on absences or visitors,
meals will be charged for at certain per
cent. of a days board, the amount to be
decided after the association has been
well started.
). 1t is understood that all members
are TO take their meals at the association
rooms so far as possible. Being absent
from the lesser meals will not be allowed
for unless on account of sickness or other
good cause, when arrangements must BE-
made with the trustees

BRAVE DEFENSE AGAINST INDIANS
How a Little Party of Five Whites Kept

In order to substantiate some facts in
man, who now lives in Woods county
the editor of the Carmen Headlight
wrote a letter to Gen. Nelson \. Miles,
and received this reply:

Chapman was the member of the party who
went outside of the slight defense that the
party erected and brought In Private George
w. Smith, Troop NJ. Sixth Cavalry, who had
been fatally wounded, and while doing so
was very seriously wounded.
There could be, am sure; only the most
generous rivalry, betweeen, Chapman, and
any other member of the heroic little group
that made such a splendid fight. every one
of whom was worthy of a special. common
dalton.
Referring to the other newspaper clipping
that you sent to me, never heard and have
no reason to believe that Chapman was ever
engaged III any unlawful acts of violence

law he was very efficient in guarding Indian
