Fewer Land Seekers.

Denver, Aug. 5.-Grand Junction is
leading in registration now for the
Uintah land drawing, heavy decrease
being reported from Provo. At Grand
Junction yesterday 1872 persons were
registered. About 300 people arrived
there during the day, all of whom were
registered before the office closed.
Many of those who register are going
to the reservation to see the land.
1t is evident that no attention will
be paid to the adverse criticism of
Commissioner Richards, who has
aroused some feeling, according to re-
port. The Governor Cutler petition from
Salt Lake asking that a registration
office be located there will not be
granted. because Commissioner Rich
ards advised against such action.

Old-Time Naval Equipment

Very strange to modern eyes would
be the armament of Great Britain's
medieval navy. The very names of
many of the implements of attack and
defense sound queer. According to
the books, in the year 1897 the vessels
of the navy were furnished with
,"espringalds," ancient spring guns;
is"haubergeons,' coats OF mail; "baci-
nets" small helmets; bows. arrows.
doublets, targets; "pavises," large
shields placed at the sides, and serv-
ing the double parpose of protection
against the sea and against the enc
my; lances and firing barrels" AS
early as 1888 cannon formed part of
the armament of ships. and about 1872
guns and gunpowder were commonly
used. Among the stores belonging to
one vessel of that time were three
iron cannon with five. chambers, a
hand gun and three old stone bags,
probably for shot. Another ship had
an iron cannon with two chambers and
ede brass cannon with one chamber.
/, Among other implements of war
used at that time were cannon

Dawson Citizens Enjoy Life

John Scudder McLain OF Minneapo-
lis, in his recent book, Alaska and
the Klondike," says of famous arctic
city: Dawson has a good theater. an
athletic clubhouse for winter sports
and athletic grounds well prepared for
baseball, cricket and Tennis A pecu-
Liar institution is the town crier,
known as Uncle John who parades
the streets with megaphone, an i'm
'provement on a bell. and announces
the hour and place of forthcoming
events. The long SIMMER days simpli-
fly arrangements of this character ma
terially. The baseball crank and the
Office boy are not compelled to devise
excuses for the neglect of their busi-
ness in the middle of the afternoon to
witness q baseball game. The game
does not begin until o'clock in the
evening. and the theater, recognizing
1t as a stiff competitor. does not ring
up its curtain until 10 o'clock. This
means, of course. that the play is not

threw any kind of shot. There were
also "basilisks," port pieces "stock
fowlers" ''sakers" and "bombards."
The bombards were of hammered iron.
made of bars welded and bound to-
gether with iron bands. They threw
stone shot weighing between 140
pounds and 1876 pounds. A battery of
these erected on slip of land at the
naval battle of Chioggia (13S0) be-
tween the Venetians and the Genoese
did great damage. They were loaded
over night and were fired in the morn
ing.
Froissart tells of a lombard used at
one of these ancient sieges that
might be heard five leagues off in the
daytime and ten at night. The report
of it was SO loud that it seemed as if
all the devils in hell had broken
loose" Brass ordnance was first cast
in England in the year 1886. The
pieces had various names. Many of
the different caliber were mounted on
the same deck, which must have
caused great confusion in action in
finding for each its proper shot.

A well-known professor has recently
made some interesting studies with re-
gard to the causes of fear in the in
fantile mind.
A study of fear in the youthful sub
jects was made by distributing hum
dreds of lists containing all manner of
cases such as might excite that emo
ton. Parents, teachers and other per-
sons-even the little ones themselves
marked off such items as the latter
really feared.
After reducing all of the replies to
table, it was found the highest num-
ber feared thunderstorms, the next
highest reptiles. Then followed in
order. according to the number fearing
them, strangers. darkness, fire, death.
domestic animals, disease, wild ami
mails, water, insects, ghosts and 9TH
ers.
A comparison of an equal number OF
boys and girls showed that the girls
feared 1,765 things on the list. and the
boys 1,106 things. The girls exceeded
the boys in the fear Of everything ex-
cept water, high places and strangers.

What Children Fear Most

The ratio of girls to boys in the fear
of rats and mice was rs to 13, as
might be expected.
1t was also ascertained that fear in
the boys increases from the seventh
to the fifteenth year, and then de-
clines, while in the girls 1t increases
more steadily from the fourth to the
eighteenth year before diminishing.
The fear of thunder and lightning, rep
tiles, robbers and machinery was
found to Increase with age.
Another novel inquiry enlarged upon
the fear of ghosts in children. By
questioning the little ones and tabu-
lating their answers it was discovered
that the most frequent source of their
knowledge Of ghosts was in stories
told by other children.
Stories read by them ranked second
in frequency. OF all the other sources
servants had been the most active.
Some had derived their first knowl-
edge from pictures, a fewer number.
