OLD CANNON A CLOCK WEIGHT.
Ancient Smooth Bore of Civil War Time
Put to Odd Use.

Tile quaintest clock weight in Maine is
that of the Baptist church at Cherryheld,
an old smooth bore cannon. The old can
non was one of the old smooth bore type
and was brought by Gleason II. Camp
bell from Boston on one of the return
trips of lumber vessels. 1t was brought
to fire salutes as the stirring days of
the Civil war were at hand
After announcing many Union victories
during the war; at the surrender of Lee
in 1865, it was taken out for final and
great salute. Robert J.. Wiley, n sol
dier of the war. who was at home on fur
Tough, was in charge of the cannon. and,
through some mismanagement, Il prema-
ture discharge of the gun threw Mr.. Will
ley high in the air, filled his face with
powder. and tore one arm off close to the
shoulder. The old gun was then spiked
by the angry citizens and did no more
sa lutte service.
When the Second Baptist church build
ing was built in 1873, weight being
wanted for the clock, the old gun was
used. For thirty years it did clock duty.
until 1903, when it once more received a
baptism of fire and fell in the runs of
the church confagration that December.
When the new clock was installed in the
new church building in 1906. once more
the old cannon mounted the tower to do
clock duty.

HUNTING IN GERMANY.
Income from Game Licenses, Etc
Reaches a Tremendous Figure.

In submitting the following statistics
concerning the community and national
income derived from game and game
preserves, Consul George Nicolas lift
Of Annaberg, reports that the laws aud
ethics of the chase, as well as the best
methods Of preserving game, are inn
portant parts of the curriculum of every
forestry school and academy in the en-
pire:
Recent statistics, gathered and com
piled from the several German states
and other official sources, give an in
teresting view of the chase as national
asset. There are issued every year
in Germany 100000 annual hunting per-
( mits; 10000 permits for shorter periods
and 60,0O0 free permits to gamekeepers
foresters, etc. This means that 100000
men-one in every 100 of the population
go hunting occasionally. While the
! price of hunting permits in the different
! German states varies from S1.J0 to
S6,25, the average is about S3.TJ. The
| German deyotees of the chase thus pay.

censes.
The annual kill" is, approximately,
| 5o,0OO,000 pounds, of which 44.00000
| pounds are game, with market value
of S6,500,000. Most of this ia venison,
/ .
| These are large figures, but considered
in connection with the fact that the an
nual consumption of meat by the Ger
man people is 100000 pounds. the
product of the chase becomes an in
| significant factor in the meat supply of
| the nation.
The money paid for hunting permits
! and the cash value OF the game killed
are, however, not the largest item when

standpoint. The sum annually paid for
game preserve leases is still larger The
entire area of the empire is more or
less game preserve, for the privilege
of shooting over some part of which
| some one is paying an annual rental
| ii may be in state. city or community
| forest preserve, where sometimes larger
| game is found, or only the farms which
surround every village and offer nothing
better than rabbits and quail
The average price for yearly leases of
game preserves is about cents an
acre, and the 135,000,000 acres of Ger
man area thus bring in from this source
/ more than $10,000000 year. The
| great part of this sum is paid directly
4 into the community treasures, and is
thence, directly or indirectly, distributed
| for the benefit of the people interested.
Any estimate of the economic value of
/ the chase would De incomplete which,
in addition to the items of direct income
mentioned, did not take into account
the value of the incidental interests,
| such as the manufacture of arms and
| ammunition and other hunting para
phernalia, game bags, hunting outfits.
etc, for it is the fashion here to hunt
in uniform-i. e., hunting jacket, Jaeger
| hat. leggings, game bag and belt. Con
sidering these ineidenta9s, it is estimated
that the chase means annually the dis
tribution of about 49,, 100000, more or
less, directly among all the people of
Germany.-Consular Reports.

The Monitors are All Right.

The test of the armOr plating on the
turret of the monitor Florida in Hamp-
ton roads. yesterday. is reported TO have
demonstrated that that type of fighting
ship is fit to cope with the modern bat
tleship equipped with guns of the heav-
lest caliber. The monitor Arkansas,
sister ship. fred twelve and four-inch
guns at the Florida. and although the
latter was hit squarely a number of
times by shells charged with high ex-
plosives she suffered no serious dam
age. The 11-inch armor plating on the
turret was stove in and the spiral tube
military mast was cut in Il number of
places, but the mechanism of the turret
was not injured, and the military mast
remained in position for service.
The Florida's crew was on board at
the time of the test. but when firing be-
gan the officers and men retreated INFO
the hull. below the protective deck in
order to avoid the shock of the impact.
which must have been terrific. The
tenability of the turret during engage
ments in which frequent hits must be
expected is therefore still n matter for
conjecture. This was under considera-
tion when the test was first mooted. ana
it was planned to place a number of
sheep in the turret for the purpose Of
noting the effects upon them of shocks
of impact. But the scheme was diScour-
aged ON the ground that it would offend
the humanitarian, and then volunteers
came forward
1t seems to have been deemed wise 10
make The tests without regard for this
risk. and leave it for settlement by ex-
perience in battle, when the casualties
of engagements are considered matters
of course II might be revealed that
the shock resulting from the delivery Of
n big shell charged with high explosive
is sufficient to place every occupant of
the turret hors de combat In that
event. another turret crew would rescue
their injured comrades and quickly take
their places at the guns.
The monitors are evidently all right,
and the American Tackles will be
found not only willing but eager to man
them for active work. They are good
coast defense ships which can be main
tanned more cheaply than the larger and
more costly battleshipS. and their use
is therefore recommended at the princi-
pal ports of the Atlantic and Pacific
coasts. Evening Wisconsin. Milwaukee.

New York the aBillionaire City.n

New York is now called the sBilGon-
aire City, which has become the slogan
of those who are fighting to have more
subways constructed at once. Comptrol-
Ter Metz. who has been opposing any new
subways for the present, because of the
great debt of the city, really furnished
ammunition for his opponents when he
estimated that the city's holdings in real
estate were worth close to two billion
dollars. which is three times greater
than the city's net funded debt Although
the comptroller has been obliged to
change his attitude somewhat since he
issued this statement. still he persists in
his opposition to more subways on the
ground of poverty, and this in view Of
the fact that New York will have an
additional borrowing capacity of S45.-
100000 on the first of July. 1t is argued
that this amount will be required for
the minor public improvements, and that
it would be unwise to expend any of it
for new subway lines.

Lonely hearth and lonely hearts.
