known as fire control. This means the
method employed to set the exact range
OF an enemy's ships and TO insure the dis
charge OF the guns at exactly the right
instant to nit the enemy.
This matter of securing the range is the
greatest preliminary problem OF battle.
Range finders are used in all our forts

used on ships with good results but there
are defects in their work. owing to the
delicate nature Of the instruments, and
the limited base Of operation, and other
measures are being devised ia every navy

The officers OF the American navy
have worked out the problem and il viii
be put 10 the severest test during this
cruise.
It is because this is to be the greatest
cruise ever undertaken that DEPRESSION IS
made again into the realm of statistics.
Various estimates have been printed Of
the amount Of supplies needed for the
cruise. None OF them IS official.
The officers Of one ship have ordered
no less than $1,000 cigars for personal use
to be put on board. That supply VIII

Uncle sam no longer allows the sailors
so much for their food and permits them
10 buy their own supplies. He now pays
for everything and feeds them mighty
well
Even the menus of al the messes of
the Jack Tars are submitted 10 the ad-
miraL He sees 70 it that the best Of
wholesome food is provided for the men
on all the boats
The officers get a small allowance,
about 80 cents day. for their food. They
take that sum and then provide their own
eatables.

The eyes OF the nation were conferred on
the performance Of the Oregon in her
celebrated trip from San Francisco to the

the journey of the battle fleet.
She was sixty-two days in making the

Elements of Grandeur.
Although the cruise Will probably not
take on anything of the spectacular. be-
cause Of the need Of making every pound
Of coal count for pulling power, it will
have what Capt 4. T. Mahan. the great
naval expert, calls certain elements Of
grandeur" The destructive power of such

tent.

The newer types come first in the line.
The Connecticut type. Of which the Con

Brownsville, Tenn, and nephew, Master Earl Montgomery, of For rest City to mourn her death. Her remains reached this city Wednes- day and were entered that morn- ing in the Odd Fellows cemetery where they now rest beside those of her beloved people, who have preceded her to the grave.
 The last services were held at the Waverly hotel in this city We'd nesday morning, Rev. H. T. Raney officiating. Songs were touchingly rendered by corpse of friends who had known and loved her while a resident among them. Beauti- ful in life, beautiful in death, but far more beautiful in the glorious resurrection mourn.
 The floral offering surpassed in profusion and beauty anything ever seer here before. Not only her casket but her grave was pail ed with beautiful flowers by friends of her home town and of this city. On a card appended could appro- priately have been placed these words: "These flowers, so typhi- cal of the life of her we mourn, mutely speak the pathos of part ing word, and are placed upon this casket and grave by friends who loved the sweet sleeper. On these petals are tears for the part ing, and hopes for the meeting beyond the gates" Flowers seem to be the best emblem we have to express our love, for we wreathe them around the cradle, the mar riage altar and the tomb. Thus would we leave her, and in mem ory keep her, as sweetly reposing among the beautiful and fragrant l flowers.
