Macon beacon. [volume] (Macon, Miss.) 1859-1995, 1905-03-04

A new wonder has come to startle
the artillery world-a gun having the
tangential strength at the muzzle cana-
bic of withstanding a powder pressure
of between 10000 and 100000 pounds
to the square inch, or about 10000
pounds more than any coast defense or
any other gun in existence. 1t also
promises to carry on by leaps ard
bounds the evolution of modern war
fare, since no armor plate ever con
structed is capable of withstanding
proiectile hurting death and destruc
ton with such terrific force and speed
1t throws proiectile 50 miles

Orient, l.. l. The Latham house is sit
uated close to Hallock's bay. Once
every week the father and his sons
plunge into the bay for a swim. Re-
Gently the bay has been frozen over
with a thick coating of ice. Unde-
tered, however, in the exploitation OF
what they believe is the real elixir OF
life, the five men have weekly crossed
over on the ice and plunged into the
waters of Gardeners Bay.

italian Immigrants Taking Fistic Honors
From IrtShinen.

Nearly all the early pugilists in this coun-
try. Heenan, Morrissey, McCloskey and the
older Sullivan, were either Irishmen or the
sons OF Irishmen, and it has come to be
accepted as a rule that prizefghters and
boxers should bear Irish Names OF the
pugilists OF the present time few are
Irish, the great majority Of them being now
young Italian Americans. who, for conven-
ience or other reasons, have taken Celtic
names.
Immigrants from Italy coming into New
York have had the name OF being inclined
to use knives when they fought. instead Of
their fists. This was true of the Italian
immigrants, but it does not apply to the
second generation OF Italians. born and
cared in the city OF New York.
Unlike the older Italians, they have de-
veloped here strong partiality for Ameri-
can athletics, and the number OF amateur
boxers and professional fighters among the
children Of Italian parents residing here
il very large. 1t is increasing, too, SO much

become current, Dape, which is a combi-
nation Of dago and yap.

"The old adage about people VINO live in
glass houses is in the way Of being spoiled
of its meaning by the advance Of modern
industry and invention" said the Eastern
representative Of one Of the largest glass
manufacturing concerns in the country to
a Sun reporter the other day. ITS
fascinating study to watch how the wise
old saws Of our forefathers are one after
another being shaken, or disproved, or
rendered no longer applicable by modern
knowledge and experimentation.
This glass house gag, for instance. Is
probably the latest Of such old sayings to
suffer total eclipse for it is entirely possible
and feasible now for man to live in glass
house without any fear OF damage from
flying stones, any more, that Is, than II he
lived in any ordinary house Of wood, brick
or stone. A man may build his whole
house OF glass and have a remarkably
safe, comforta bic and healthful dwelling
too. do not know that such q house has
yet been built anywhere in the world, but
here is a chance for some chap who wants to
put up home that shall be unique.
And when he sets about it he will be
surprised to find how cas- lily 1t can be done.
The chief element entering into the con-
struction Of our glass house would be glass
bricks, which are now made hollow and
are therefore light in weight; yet they are
much stronger than ordinary bricks made
of clay.
"They are absolutely impervious to water
and they are non-conductors of sound and
heat. Our prospective builder will zee at
once their obvious advantages over ordinary
building materials in durability, in protec-
ton from outside noise and from cold.
these blown glass bricks are, of course,
Opaque, so the dweller in the glass house
will enjoy just as much privacy as in any
other. They are hermetically sealed when
red hot and 30 are perfectly clean and proof
against all disease germs.
These bricks can be laid up in cement
made Of fine white glass sand and 80 the
walls will present the appearance OF hand
some, clean, unbroken vitreous surfaces
The walls could be washed down with a
hose as often as desired for absolute clean
liness without doing the slightest damage.
For foundations a material called stone
glass should be used This has three times
the resisting power Of granite to crushing
strains. Tho roof will be of glass tiles,
which can now be obtained in any desired
color and which would add a charming
effect of color to the completed house.
Inside the house practically all fixtures
and finishlngs will be made Of glass All
the plumbing, all water pipes, gas pipes,
sewer pipes all f1ues for heating and conduits
for electric wires will be of glass. And
this will insure not alone greater cleanli-
ness, but as well greater safety, for such
glass pipes are fireproof
Besides the pipes, drains. &c, the Ak
lures to be made OF glass will include sinks,

Cat That Is Fond OF Hunting.

The frcmen at the East street en- 6ine
house have black cat which Ia remarkable
for several things. II possesses ak toes
on each foot and during the past year it
has had about twoscore and ten kittens
which have all had the same number Of
digits
The cat also has become a follower OF the
hunting game in more ways than the average
feline has aspred to. 1t has an excellent
record for hunting rats and mice that can Be-
hunter after the fashion Of dogs. One OF
the fremen takes trips into the nsiEhborinG
places for hunting birds. and wherever he
goes the cat is sure to be with him, Whom
ever be brings down any game the cat Ia
there to claim the quarry.
II is said that the animal will follow the
person in question for miles In order TO get
the game, and II cannot be deceived. for ~

follower. Yesterday one OF these trips vas
taken with some gu ccess. and the cat esemed -

yield about 81 year for each goat, and in
addition to this the sale OF wethers will
yield good sum each year. The Depart
ment Of Agriculture publishes very valu-
able bulletins on the subject and there are
also several books that will aid the novice.
Life in this region Is go simple and eco
nomical that large family could live very
comfortably on $500 year. The goats are
not hard to herd, and where there are two

horse and following the goats over the hills
has provided exercise enough for even

with him, for he never weighed more and
his chest measures two inches more than 1t
did when he left the Adirondacks.
