TRAINING GUN POINTERS.
Great Care Ia Observed In thv Selec-
tion Of Men--Use Of the
"Dotter.n

When China found herself arrayed
against japan, she offered $500 cash q
month for skilled gun pointers. but Ia
all great nar,es gun pointers are trained,
not bought, and when the fight Is on Il
is too late for instruction, says writer
In Worlds Work.
How does man become an expert gun.
nerl Diligent drill and constant train-
Ing are not enough without certain
amount OF natural aptitude. One man
after another is tried. A few days trial
in the turrets eliminates all except the
fairly promising. For the talent OF
eye and nerve which makes the born
gun pointer the government pays from
two TO ten dollars q month In addition
TO the regular pay. This premium Is
not confined to any race. creed or color.
On one vessel in the navy one OF the
gun poiters is q negro.
Selecting gun pointers is one OF the
most important duties In the navy. Hay-
Ing selected the men for gun pointers,
the next step Is 10 train them. Two
methods are now In vogue. both having
the same principle. but differing In de-
tail. In the old days Of sails and smooth
bore guns the lnyariable rule--and the
only rule the gun captains knew-was
this; Fire at the top OF the downward
roll Gust as the ship begins to roll
toward the targeU. and aim At the en-
emy's water line"
This rule lasted far into the aee OF
steam and turret guns. and has only re-
Gently been supplanted by continuous
aim irlng," or the art OF keeping a gun
trained on the target. regardless Of the
oscillations OF the vessel. during thu
whole or a portion OF the roll
The method OF training men by the
new system-by the use OF "dotter"-
was devised by Capt. Percy Scott. of the
British navy. The dotter is mechan-
ical device which causes a small tar
get 10 move across the face Of q CUR. With
a combined vertical and horizontal mo-
ton The gun-pointer must nal the
gun follow the target, and whenever the
sights are on tho bull's-eye he presses
button. This causes a pencil 70 cot the

method OF instruction Is with the Morris
tube. which consists OF a small Falerg

OF the dotter's pencil.

A guest az an uptown hotel asked the
clerk the other day how to get 10 Hamil-

said he had been there several times, but

We live not far from the island in the

father worked for Blennerhasset when
he was boy. and he plloted Burr away
from the island.

cursed Burr for his course. When he
heard that Burr had killed Hamilton in
a duel he swore that he would kill Burr
II he could ever get to him. While
Burr was on trial in Richmond my
grandfather made a trip there for the
purpose OF carrying out his threat The
opportunity, however. did not present
itself. and my grandfather returned
home.
When he reared his family he taught
them TO curse Burr's name. My father
carried out his fathers wish and taught
his boys 70 execrate Burr as long as they
