TO CIRCLE EARTH IN BARREL
Man Of Fasting and Parachute Fame
Plans to outdo Former
Feats.

To go around the world In a barrel.
Such is the latest enterprise of Felix
Tanner, of fasting and parachute fame.
Advices received from Wellington, N.
b.. state that Tanner has built an
ark with which he proposes to out
do all other sea voyages on record. The
marine department of New Zealand has
officially surveyed the unique vessel.
The craft in which Tanner is to make
his latest bid for fame is barrel shaped
and has a stem attached. The bar
rel is nine feet long by five feet six
inches wide. 1t is hooped with iron.
The bow and stern resemble those of an
ordinary boat, and are bound together
from end to end, inclosing the body of
the freak vessel. There is a pump for
use in case of emergency. The floating
curiosity will carry jib and maiEsai!
with square foresail, and Tanner
thinks she should be able to attain fair
speed. On the after part of the deck
there is cockpit, from which the barrel
boat will be controlled. Tanner declares
that he is convinced he can circumnavi-
gate the globe in the barrel At any
rate he will try.

NEW JAP EXPLOSIVE.
FEARFUL EFFECT OF SHELLS
USED IN MIKADo'S GUNS.
Surgeon Tells of Extracting 1913 Frag-
ments of Steel from Body of One
Sailor officer Literally
Blown to Pieces.

The terrible force of Shimose pow
der, the new explosive used by the
Japanese army and navy, is shown by
the report of DIR. Wada, staff sur
geon of the Japanese navy, who as
sisted in caring for the wounded Rus
sian sailors from the cruiser Variag
Twenty-four wounded sailors were
cared for on the French cruiser Pas
cal for four days. From one of the
wounded men 1913 pieces of Japanese
shell were extracted.
The largest piece showed that the
outer walls of the shell were not more
than three-eighths of an inch thick,
and had been fired from nothing small
er than siX-inch guns.
Nothing but a high explosive could
smash strong steel shell into such
minute fragments.
DR.. Wada described how decks were
made slippery with blood. He saw
small bits of flesh scattered every
where He stumbled over an arm here,
a leg there. The flesh was often torn
from the bodies. Nothing but a hign
explosive shell could have produced
such effects.
The wounds caused by the powder
are no worse than those caused by old
fashioned shells and shrapnels If n
man hit is lucky enough not to be
killed, he stands good chance of get
ting off unhurt or only slightly wound
ed Two sailors stood on the bridge
with Capt. Rudnieff and Count Nirod
and a petty officer. One of the new
Japanese shells struck the petty Off
Ger. 1t was one of those shells pro-
vided with a fuse taking effect not
only on contact with the water, but
whenever it touches parts of the rig
ging, living men, or even their cloth
ing.
Wherever the resistance is sufficient
to alter the speed ever so little the
shell is exploded. The petty officer
was blown into atoms. Absolutely
Count Nirod, standing next to him, was
blown to pieces. only one arm being
found afterwards. The two sailors
who stood little way off from the
explosion were badly mangled. Capt,
Rudnieff, who stood little further off,
was only slightly wounded in the head
by small fragments.
In the old style shells the fragments
Of the outer walls and the inner rings
were meant to kill and wound. The
explosive was there merely to burst
the shell and give additional impetus
to the fragments In the new shells
the explosive itself is meant to kill,
the function of the shell being simply
TO convey the explosive to the desired
spot, Referring to the numerous cases
OF suppuration Of wounds caused by
pieces of clothing entering with frag-
ments of shell, DR.. Wada suggests that
every government make it the rule of
the navy that when fight is expected
every man shall have his body we'll
washed and his clothes disinfected.
Happily, it is the rule of the men of
our army and navy always to go into
battle in their newest and cleanest
uniforms. This is not because of sani-
tary considerations, but it works the
right way, all the same"

Ancient Seal unearthed.

The German excavating expedition in
Syria has discovered the seal used by
King Solomon's son at place called
Tell El Multissen. The seal has been
taken to Beirut and handed over to the
Turkish pasha, Emin Effendi. The seal
is the size of an ordinary saucer, is maze
of jasper, and has beautifully engray ed
lion on 1t with wide open mouth. The
inscription in Hebrew, translated, reads:
Iii Schema. the son of King Solomon
the son of David" DR.. Hartleben, the
archaeological expert, says 1t is the finest
example of carving known dating from
SO remote antiquity.

PREDICTSWO
GERMAN OFFICER EXPECTS AT
TACK ON ENGLAND.
Germany, Russia and France Will
Unite, He Thinks, to Secure
New Apportionment Of
the Earth.

Capt. August Niemann, of the Ger
man army, in book entitled Der
Weltkrieg" (the world war;, which he
has just completed, freely predicts that
Russia, France and Germany will en-
gage in war with England, the re-
suit of which will be fresh apportion-
ment of the earth.
Although the responsibility of a
world war is great, says Capt. Niemann
in his book, "and although the idea of
peace of nations is very pleasant, val
liable acquisitions are won only by the
expenditure of blood and iron.
IF the German people intend to par
tcipate in the struggle for the dom
ination of the world it must accustom
itself to the idea of the coming war. In
the course of long years England has
grown great through the dissensions of
continental powers. For centuries past
England has reaped advantages from
every war, most of which were insti-
gated by herself.
1T required the genius of Bismarck
to awaken the German empire to a sense
of its power. Shall Germany be con
tent to be dependent on England for
light, air, and for daily bread, or has
she retained some of the power which
won her victories?
"Will the three powers which stood
together after Japan's victory over
China to thwart England's plans-will
Germany. France and Russia remain
longer idle, or will they combine for
their mutual benefit?
81 see in spirit the armies and navies
of Germany Russia and France advanc-
ing against the common enemy-Eng-
land-which like an octopus encircles
the world with its tentacles.
MY dreams of Germany bring clearly
before me the war and the victory of
three great nations-G France
and Russia-over England, and the
fresh apportionment of the possession
of the earth as final result of this
mighty struggle,
Defeated in bloody battles on land
and sea, securely encompassed on every
side, rapacious England will at last
be ground to dust, and the universal do
minion of the world will be redistributed
On lust basis"

Advice by John L. Sullivan.

The redoubtable and only john H. is
credited with giving this advice to two
small boys who paid homage at his
shrine not long ago: Boys, If you
want to get along, do your work.
Work is the only thing that makes men
happy and successful. Don't be like the
boy whose father wrote to the boys boss
asking where his son slept. The answer
the man sent back was: I'VE don't
know where your son sleeps at night;
he sleeps in the shop daytimes. "-Bos-

ATTORNEY SUES COUNTY.
Lawyer Who Defends Mrs. LavelIeur
Wants His Fees.

Special to mes-Republican.
Newton, Jan. 23.-Jasper county has
been made defendant in sui, brought
by Henry C. korf one of the youngest
members of the bar in this county, to
recover $500 for assisting in the defense
of Mrs. Hanna Lavalleur in the FAM
Gus murder trial which occupied the
attention of the court during the De-
cember term. Mr.. Korf was appointed
by the court TO defend and he shows
ten days actual service for which he
claims the amount above stated
AT meeting of the board of super
visors. held a few days ago, his claim
was cut from 5000 to $500 and allowed
in the latter sum. but this Mr.. korf
refused to accept. 1t seems to be the
opinion of many that Mr.. korf earned
his money for his efforts In connection
with Mr.. C. o. McLain in conducting
the case We're very highly spoken of at
the tine.
No one seems to know certainly just
what will be done with the Laval!eur
case. 1t stands there on the docket
with record of two failures to reach
a verdict. The expense has already run
far into the thousands and the pros
pect is not the brightest for convic-
tion. II is asserted further change of
Venue will be asked. In that case it
would probably be granted as the case
has become well known turnout this
county.
