Our citizens feel disappointed in the
appropriations asked for by the regents
for the Fort Hays State institutions.
They find nothing in the Normal ap-
preparations about dam to save the
waters of the creek. nothing for beau
tifying their 80 acre campus, but q
great big sum for power house.
In the Experiment Station appropri-
alton there is not penny for improve
ment of the State Public Park, either
in dam or shrubbery and not a penny
toward a bridge at South Chestnut
street connecting with their grounds.
" may be all right for Hays to spend
$500 to $1,000 to open the street direct
to their buildings. but they don't offer
to help. Better then for Hays to let
the section line be opened that runs
direct to the bridge already built.

SUBMERGED GUNS,
The Experiment of Firing n Cannon
Buried Under Water

The most curious experiment ever
made with a piece of ordnance was at
Portsmouth, England A stage was
erected in the harbor within the tide
mark. On this an Armstrong gun of
the 40 pound pattern was mounted.
The gun was then loaded and carefully
aimed at a target-all this, of course,
during the time of low tide. A few
hours later. when the gun and the tar
get were both covered with water to a
depth of six feet, the gun was fired by
means OF electricity. We said "aimed
at target" but the facts are that
there were two targets. but only one
was erected for this special experiment,
the other being the hull of an old YES
sci. the Griper, which lay directly be-
hind the target and in range Of the ball
The target itself was placed only twen-
ty-five feet from the muzzle of the gun.
1t was composed of oak beams and
planks and was twenty -one inches
thick
In order to make the old Griper in
vulnerable a sheet of boiler plate three
inches thick was riveted to the water
logged hull in direct range with the
course the ball was expected to take if
not detected by the water. On all of
these-the oaken target. the boiler
plates and the old vessel hull-the eff
feet of the shot from the submerged
gun was really startling The wooden
target was pierced through and
through, and the boiler iron target was
broken into pieces and driven into its
backing" the ball passing right on
through both sides of the vessel, max
ing a huge hole, through which the wa
ter poured in torrents. Taken altogeth-
er, the experiment was an entire sue
cess, demonstrating. as it did, the feast
bility Of placing submerged guns in
harbors in time of war and doing great
damage to the vessels which an enemy
might dispatch to such points for the
purpose of shelling cities.-London

SCRAMBLE OVER THE
STATE FOR TUPPER
Wanted in Several Counties
For MiSdeeds.

Indianapolis, Ind. July 21.-There is
scramble over the state for Harry
who halls from Richmond and who es-
capped from Jail at Columbus, Ind,
where he was being held on a charge
of forging and embezzling. The Bar
tholomew county sheriff has received
many kilograms asking him to hold
Tupper. as he is wanted here, there
and elsewhere, but he can do nothing,
as the young man is supposed TO be
hot-footing it toward Kentucky. Thus
far inquiries lave come from five cit
les where Tupper is wanted. He is
known tothe Indianapolis police, who
are on the lookout for his, but it is
not believed that he will venture here.
Tupper was considered an exemplary
fellow until he exhibited an inclina-
tion to get something for nothing by
the alleged raising Of checks and
other methods.

TELESCOPES.
The Difference Between Rejecting
and Refractinx Kinds.

The Difference Between Rejecting
and Refractfnx Kinds.
A very pretty little experiment which
illustrates the two methods of forming
an optical image and by way of cor
ollary illustrates the essential differ
ence between refracting and rejecting
telescopes may be performed by any
one who possesses a reading glass and
a magnifying hand mirror. In room
that is not too brightly Illuminated pin
a sheet of white paper on the wall op-
posite to window that by preference
should face the north or away from the
position of the sun. Taking first the
reading glass, hold 1t between the win
dow and the wall parallel to the sheet
of paper and a foot or more distant
from the latter. BY moving it to and
fro a little you will be able to find
distance corresponding to the focal
length of the lens. at which a picture
of the window is formed on the paper.
This picture, or image. will be upside
down because the rays of light cross
at the focus. BY moving the glass a
little closer to the wall you will cause
the picture of the window to become
indistinct, while a beautiful image Of
the houses, trees or other objects of the
outdoor world beyond will be formed
upon the paper. We thus learn that the
distance of the image from the lens va
ries with the distance of the object
whose image is formed. In precisely a
similar manner an image is formed at
the focus of the object glass of re-
fracting telescope.
Take next your magnifying or con-
cave mirror, and, detaching the sheet
of paper from the wall, hold it nearly
in front of the mirror between the lat
ter and the window. When you have
adjusted the distance TO the focal
length of the mirror. you will see an
image of the window projected on the
paper. BY varying the distance as be-
fore you will be able to produce at will
pictures of nearer or more remote OBJ
Jects. 1t is in this way that images are
formed at the focus of the mirror of a
rejecting telescope.
