IN BIG NAVY GUNS.
Machinist Explains Reason foE Great
Increase in Weight Of Enor-
nous CannonA


Speaking Of the development
in the defensive powers of the
modern guns Of the American
navy, as illustrated at the Wash
ingtOn naval gun factory, an ex-
perienced machinist and advance
worker said to a Washington Star
reporter:
This general development is
not due alone to improvements in
guns or powder, or prOjectiles,
but to the simultaneous and pro
gresslve development of all three.
LESS than half a century ago
the heaviest gun known was the
6S-pounder. This gun was about
nine inches bore, and fred a s.
pound projectile, with a 16-pound
charge of gunpowder, but was
powerless against four and a half
inches of wrought iron. Our bat
tleships to-day are equipped with
12.inch guns, which, with a charge
of 400 to 425 pounds of smokeless
powder, are capable of driving an
850-pound projectile through 81
inches of solid wrought iron. In
olden times it required nearly four
minutes to load and fire one of the
now obsolete 6S-pounders, while
the new and terrible Pinch guns
can be loaded and fired in about 81
seconds with perfect safety.
IF a projectile from one of the
old 6S-pounders hit its mark, it
was due to good luck, rather than
to good management, but it is a
matter of proud record that our
modern 12-inch guns have scored
seven hits in less than six min
utes at target practice, while our
six-inch gun has a record of nine
shots and nine hits in one minute

spreading, feshy leaves of pale
green color starts a fower-stalk
bearing a dainty rosy blossom,
the leaves of which are covered
with viscid glands that entangle
and later digest insects. Near it
is the West Australian pitcher
plant (cephalotus follicularis),
the pitchers of which are of rich
green crimson color, spotted and
/ blotched with white markings.
Though widely separated geo.
graphically from the East Indian
pitcher plants, this has also devel-
oped the curious habit of catching
and digesting insects. Closely re-
lated to our native trumpet plants
of the south is the Roraima
pitcher plant (heliamphurn nu-
tans), the rarest plant in the

cial gift from Mr.. Lynch, curator

England, and hitherto he has been

HAT CAUSE OF BADNESS.
Head-Piece OF Modern Men Is Grad
ually Eliminating Much
Needed hair.


There is every reason to believe
that primitive man had a thick
and abundant head of hair, and
that this natural clothing of the
scalp is diminishing among civil
lied peoples, and will end by dis.
appearing altogether, which
would certainly not be advan.
tageOus from an aesthetic point of
view. The cause of this disappear.
ance of the hair, according to the
doctors, must be sought in the
very conditions of civilization and
in the customs it has introduced.
One of the customs especially hurt,
full to the hair is the hat, and, above
all, the masculine hat; so we see
mans hair suffer more than WON
ans.
The hat produces badness by
two different methods. FIRST, by
creating about the head an atmos-
phere which is fatally warm and
moist, and which prevents the pen
etration of the rays of light that
are so fatal to bacteria; the hat
makes for the microbes a sort of
improvised hOtbed, which is ex-
tremely favorable to their deVel,
Opment, and it is known that mi
crobes play an important role in
the production of badness. If II
had been desired to foster the ex-
istence of microbes capable of liv.
ing upon the scalp or in the hair, O
more favorable means for their
protection and multiplication
than the hat could not have been
found. Again, the hat, holding its
place upon the head solely by pres
sure, exerts a second perniciOuS
influence upon the scalp; it com
presses the arteries and the veins
it impedes the circulation of the
blood and, consequently, the nu
triton of the organs which pro
duce the hair. 1t is, therefore
doubly desirable that the reign Of
the hat should cease, in the case oil
men-for with women the hat il
so light a thing that it can exert
only a triling proportion of the
ravages ii is responsible for il
men-and that this garment
should be renowned or replaced
by some less injurious article. AS
a matter of fact, men would be
very healthy with bare heads. The
hair would be strengthened an(
would serve as a hat; it would only
be necessary to protect the heaC
against the rays of the sun in sum
mer in order to avoid sunstroke
1t is true the public imagines tina.
it would catch cold more easily
but this is a mistake. a draugh-
alone is not enough to give cold
a microbe is absolutely necessary
From the hygienic point of view
there are fewer Inconvenience il
going with the head bare than il
carrying about upon it a hothous,

81 have never seen a Desperate,

remarked Senator Stewart, of Ne

"There was Sam Brown, the

the old days who was dreaded by

Q dangerous beast than a human

one winter in Virginia City he slew

the day of the trial to put a couple
of Old-fashioned derringers in my

Brown was ON hand in the little
room in which the case was heard,
and when saw him enter the idea
came into my mind that he had
come to make me his latest victim.
His favOritc weapon was a big
bowie knife, and the knowledge
that the villain meant to stab me
to death made me feeleXceedingly
uncomfortable. 1t was enough to
make the bravest heart quail. But
knew it would never do to show
the creature that he had me
scared, and, looking him squarely
in the eye, brought the pocket of
my OvercOat around to where he
could see the full shape of both
my derringers. My hand was
grasping the handle, and l was
ready to shoot on the second.
These pistols shot with terrific
force, and would knock down if
they did not kill.
Gle was watching me like a
hawk and ! saw his eye fall on the
weapon. Before this he had been
fumbling at his knife, but immedi-
ately he ceased and presently he
walked out of the room. When
