May Reach Former First.

naparte wrote to an embryo Nebraska
inventor letter which is designed to
interrupt some interesting experiments
in throwing explosives.

boy of Ericsson, Neb., wrote to the sec
retary asking for a full statement of
the requirements for admission to the
Naval academy and outlining some ex-
periments he is conducting in throw
ing dynamite preparatory to becoming
a useful officer of the navy.
At present the young inventor says
he is able to throw ,064 of an ounce of
dynamite $50 yards with Winchester
rifle of A caliber, range 800 yards.

lieves he could throw 400 pounds of

gaining admission to the Annapolis
academy.

young man that his experiments were
better adapted to taking him to a GEM
etery than to the Naval academy and
suggested that he abandon them and
adopt some other means of preparing
