DON'T LOOK DOWN
 ON THE GIRLS.

Girl "firemen" and girl chimney sweeps are not very common, but they are, nevertheless. to be found in some parts of the world. and have given a good ac- count of themselves in lines of effort which are generally supposed to belong entirely to men.
 The town of Armidale, in New South Wales, Australia, has a fire. brigade of girls of which it. is rather proud, for it has earned distinction in many encounters with destroying flames. The brigade con sists of a dozen young women of good health, daring and energy
 These young women drill with the reg ular fire brigade of the town and at fires render expert and valuable assistance. They are especially good at rescue work with the life line and jumping sheet and have saved many lives.
 Girl chimney sweeps are rather com mon in St. Petersburg and Moscow. A guild or union exists in both cities.
 The guild was founded by a widow of a chimney sweep who died. leaving six daughters to be cared for. His wife brought up the daughters to follow the calling of their father, and from this beginning the union grew until now it has a membership of several hundred.

An interesting subject Is opened by the Investigations into the lifetime of great
 modern guns, and one about which very erroneous ideas are prevalent. A few gears ago tho reported failures of the seo-ton guns made by Krupp for Italy. as well as of certain rival guns of even greater sfze made by Sir William Arm strong and Co, gave rise to exaggerated Ideas of the self-destructive effects of modern guns Even experts were quoted in support of the widely accepted opinion that the usefulness of such monster guns would not outlive a single battle.
 Improved methods of construction, and above all improved materials of construc- 4fon. have largely removed the causes of 4he failures upon which the general belief fn the chemical life of modern guns was Sounded. but even authoritative, contra s7lcsions have thus far failed to destroy this belief of the popular mind. A brief review of the causes of the destruction, or rather deterioration. of guns under the effects of repeated firing will, it may be hoped. lead to a more correct knowledge of the truth on this subject and replace crescent doubts by confidence in the per- upon which the national defense de- pends
 The cast iron smooth bore guns with which our ships and coast defenses were almost exclusively armed twenty years awo only differed from those which armed che Spanish Armada or those with which Nalscn's chips whipped the French by hagng larger and somewhat stronger. The snktsr advantage was obtained by bet Ger dlstrtbution of the metal to withstand tho firing strains and by the superior quality of American cast iron. Long ex- asarience and many tests had determined the lifetime of such guns. They seldom or never burst, but slowly deteriorated s,uder the wearing action of the powder xases which escaped through the vent and past the projectile. After four hun dred or i've hundred rounds it was cus- fofhary to plug up the vent. which by fhat time would be much enlarged. and to bore a new one. After four hundred or five hundred more rounds the gun would be considered used up and would he replaced. The bore. of course. was also eroded and enlarged, but the in- creased windage of the shot did not areatIy detract from the accuracy of fire @t fine short ranges then necessary for efrective gun fire.

 To partly meet this difficulty, or rather to postpone its consequences, strips of copper called augmenting strips are fur nished to be bent around the rotating band and, hammered into It's grooves, thus increasing it's diameter. Further wear. however, soon makes this remedy imperative, and then there is nothing left to do but to send the gun back to the factory to have a lining tube put into it, thus forming a new bore.
 Various explanations have been given for erosion. Lowe claiming 1t to be a chemical action. others supposing it to be a purely mechanical securing action. Many remedies have been proposed for 1t. Sir Hiram Maxim. thinking it was caused entirely by the escape of gas around the projectile, devised and pat ented gas checking arrangement, which goes over the base of the projec- tile and stops any leakage past it. His invention, whether 1t would be efficient or not, and it probably would not. has not been adopted. One thing, however, we have learned by experience, and that

While studying in the British Museum a papyrus which was published 4,OM years before Christ, an Egyptologist re- gently found clear and concise ac- count of the treasures which the ancient sovereigns of Egypt buried in various parts of the Libyan desert and now an expedition is being formed in London for the purpose of searching for this wealth. The necessary funds have already been secured and in short time few skilled explorers will start for the des- ert. where the technical work will be prosecuted under the supervision or Messrs. Lake and Currie, two English engineers. The writer of the ancient pa pyrus says that the Pharaohs hid an tm- mense quantity of gold and precious stones in the region which is known by the name of the Valley of Kings ana there the first excavations will be made. The task will not be easy since the coun- try to be searched extends over 4O,OOs square leagues.

Seventh avenue would certainly
present a delightful appearance if the
nlan of parking, as proposed is car
ried out. Certainly the time has ar
rived when our thoroughfares should
be made more attractive. There is
ample room for parking, either on the
sides or in the centre. AT the present
time there is not half of the street
used for actual driving. Not only
the residents of this broad thorough
fare, but the public at large is inter
ested in seeing the work accomplished.
When once the work is started and
the value of the work to the city is
proven by the added beauty to this

BATHING RESORT.
A New Institution for Bathing and
Picnicking Opens Near City.----A
Much Needed Publ.c Resort
Should Be Well Patronized
By All Our People.

To the people of Grand junction
and vicinity - At the present time
when the boys of this city wish to
swim, great many of them go to the
Grand river which is dangerous
stream to swim in. Our ladies and
small children do not enjoy open air
bathing at all because there is no
suitable bathing pool in or around
Grand Junction where there are dres-
sing rooms and such things as are
needed at a bathing resort. There is
no place where the people of our town
can 90 and spend day boat riding,
picnicking and having general good
time. or a day of recreation.
Believeing that Grand Junction
needs such a resort as above mention
ed l have started to improve a place
where there is nice grove of tall
cottonwoods, situated on neck of land
on one side of which there is large
still water pond which can be filled
from the river and will make an ex
cellent swimming pool and hoat pond.
On the other side of the neck of land
fine view can be had of the Grand
river. When this place is cleared
and leveled and rustic seats built,
swings put mp, booths for lunches
built and other things for pleasure
and exercise constructed, it will be
an ideal spot for recreation, in fact
drawing card for this city. Mothers
need feel no anxiety for their children
when they are bathing at this place
for it will be perfectly safe. l have
been on the sea coast great deal and
have had experience with pleasure re-
sorts and know how thev should be
run and l intend that this place. shall
be a nice clean resort.
Work is already going ahead to i'm
prove this place and make it one of
the best and most popular in Grand
Junction.
But this thing like many Others
need something to start it ON a sue
cessful career. 1t needs to be up-to-
date. 1t needs the confidence of the
people. To get this help is the pur-
pose of this letter. l wish to know
if the citizens of this town want
place that will be a benefit to them
and the community.
If they want place of this kind l
wish them to investigate this thing 1
am starting and if satisfied to for
ward a little money to start it on the
road to success. 1 will repay them
in bathing and various other amase-
nents for every cent forwarded.
l will give them receipts for their
money and fix the matter up in true
business style so that they will be
sure to get the value of their money.
Hoping that you will look into this
matter and lend me helping hand to
start something that will be of lasting
benefit to the people of Grand, juno
