OLD CANNON CAN'T DE BROKEN
Armament of Old Craft Was Made "a
Last.

A good story is being told al the
Mare Island navy yard concerning a
San Francisco contractor who bought
all the old obsolete cannon which were
sold at the local yard some time ago.
The cannon were all OF the smooth
bore kind. and in order that they
might oe easily handled for shipment
TO the city all sorts OF schemes were
tried to endeavor to break them with
dynamite and blasting powder. but
they were unsuccessful
An electric drill machine was even
set up at the yards and the cannon
were drilled full OF holes in order 10
weaken them for breaking open with
wedges. but this was also unsuccess-
full. The cannon were then taken
away and the last heard OF them they
were corralled in the hills near Point
Richmond. where an effort was being
made to break them open with dyna-
mite again
The cannon which proved 10 be so
strong were among the armament OF
the war craft which sailed the seas
in 1912.

REASON FOR ALL THINGS.
Customs That Now Seem Peculiar had
origin in Wisdom.

II you are patient enough to ferret
il out you will find that there IS a req.
son for every little idiosyncrasy we
have, for every queer thing we do
Take, for example, the wearing Of
widows caps. Why do widows cover
their heads with these curious little
arrangements OF maline. creme and
lace? IL is custom handed down to
US from the Romans who shaved their
heads when they mourned the loss OF
a dear one This idea was all right
for men who did not mind appearing
without a single spear Of hair on their
heads. but OF course IL was most IN.
attractive for women. No one. not
even a Roman matron. liked TO be
seen bald-headed. so the women OF
the Tiber devised a little cap to hide
their badness. and thus the custom
has come down to US. even though
heads are no longer shaved as a sign
OF mourning.
The reason that bells are tolled for

thought that the sound OF the bells

Why do men. and women. too. wear
bows on the left side OF their hats7
The reason Is simple enough. Wher
the head covering built upon the order
OF hats of today was first introduced
1t was ornamented with ribbon which
went around the crown and hung down
in two ends on the left side. reaching
below the shoulder. These ends we're
a sort OF anchor. or safety line. and
we're put there expressly TO be seized
when a sudden gust OF wind threaten.
cd TO blow the hat away. The ribbons
were put on the lett side because. as q
general thing, the left hand was more
apt TO be free than the right. Eventu.
ally these ribbons were knotted in
fetching bow with flowing ends. and
then they we're cut or quite close to
the hat. so that they form a very
small and stiff bow knot
