shocks From Big NnvnI Guns.

1t is disputed question whether the
men on modern warships serving the
big guns inside the easement or those
serving the gun on the upper deck suf-
fer the more from the effect of the fir
ing. Two distinct, factors are to be
taken into account-the effect of the
explosion at the muzZle of the gun
commonly known as the blast, and. sec
ondly, the violent shock which is trans
mitted from the gun. This shock, al
though producing distinct action on the
skull, the spinal column and the larger
joints, giving rise to general shock,
probably does not damage the drum of
the ear The blast has far reaching con-
sequences. officers say that in addi-
ton to violent shock feeling of great
depression at the pit of the stomach is
experienced. The ear suffers more dam
age from big gun fire than any other
part of the body. When the ear is in
jured the surgeon generally looks for
n rupture of the membrane tympani or
for a permanent deafness. The first, If
attended to at once, is durable, but
deafness is irreparable.

must point due south. They are not
easy places to reach. One is in the
arctic region north of the northern

pole and the geographical north pole
The other is in the antarctic regions
south of the southern magnetic pole
on the line between that spot and the
geographical sonth pole. In the hrsi

Chicago. July 30.--The conflict be-
tween capital and unionism which
has been going on in the packing
trade industry throughout the coun-
try for nearly three weeks, shows no
sign of abatement.
Tonight both interests seem as de-
termined as ever on a fight to the fin-
ish and the indications are that the
struggle will continue until one side
or the other. makes O complete sur
render,
The packers tonight declare they
have practically won their fight and
that the strikers are becoming demor-
allied. In direct opposition to this
statement the strike leaders assert
that the victory is with the workmen
and that it will be matter Of only a
short time until the packers will be
compelled TO ask for peace.
The leaders of the four allied trades
unions which struck in sympathy with
the packing house butchers. are said
by the packers to have made over
lures today for reinstatement. Ac-
cording to the packers emissaries
from these four trades sought TO learn
upon what terms the strikers would
be reinstated should they return in q
body.
The answer the packers say they
gave these peace missionaries was
that the strikers would be re-employ-
ed as fast as conditions might war
rant, but only as individuals and not
as members of any union
The strike leaders disclaimed any
knowledge whatever of the action TAX
en- by the four unions and repeated
their assertions that the outlook OF
victory for the striking workmen was
more satisfactory than ever
