other picturesque port Of southern
California, on q glass calm sea Of sap
phire and with never q cloud in the
sky, the Atlantic fleet OF b%attleships
sailed today in stately bun and white
procession, admired by q multitude
gathered from along the wave-washed
shore. from the towering heights Of
the Santa Yonez mountains in the
background Of the city and from the
fertile valleys beyond.
The coming Of the fleet was made
a holiday and every shop in the thriv-
ing little city Of Santa Barbara was
closed Throughout the afternoon. In
one store an explanatory sign read:
Come to the beach, boys" and in an
other, CLOSED to see the battleships."
All Of the 10000 residents Of the
place, thousands from the sur
rounding towns and a host Of winter
visitors, went to the shore to view
the long heralded spectacle. They
were banked along the curving white
beach, on the palm fringed ocean boul-
evard, on the hills and mountains to
the south, and wherever an uninter-
rupted vision Of the distant horizon
could be had.
Anchor Near Shore.
After steaming in single column all
the way from the port Of Los Angeles,
the 16 ships Of the fleet changed into
a column Of squadrons after entering
the roadstead here and headed direct
ly for the shore, dropped anchor not
more than 1900 yards from the beach
line.
The eight ships Of the first column,
with the Connecticut at the left Of
the line, steamed abreast, 400 yards
apart, in formidable front rank. Be
hind them came the eight ships Of
the second squadron, the Alabama in
the wake Of the Connecticut, 800 yards
astern.
The trip up the coast from Los
Angeles was made under changing
conditions Of fog and sunshine. Soon
after the ships got under way after
the assembling Of the four divisions at
Santa Monica, a blanket Of fog closed
down suddenly and set bells to ring.

Demonstration of New Weapon In-
 vented by New York Man.
 Without any sound except the pat ter of bullets as they made holes through targets constructed of pine boards, one hundred shots Q second was discharged Saturday from q nolseess and powderless gun In the loft of the Standard Meter company's factory, at 245 Robinson street, Flat bush. L. l., says the Boston Tran script The demonstration was made by the inventor of the gun, Frederick Bangarter. a mechanical engineer Be- fore the demonstration began MT. Bangerter explained that his inven- ton does not require explosives of any kind and that compressed air had nothing to do with the discharge of the bullets. Power from a seven- horsepower electric motor supplied the propeling force which dlscharg- ed the bullets No sound except the whrl of the wheel came from the gun inclosure when the power was turned on. Into the hopper the inventor poured the bullets and from the hid- den muzzle of the gun came the steel bullets. There was no explosion. no smoke and no click of shells being forced empty from the magazine. The only sound that came from the gun was the dropping of the bullets Into the funnel
 T have no intention of taking out patents on the gun or placing It on the market" Mir. Bangerter said. T realize that 1t would be too deadly a weapon to place within the reach of everyone. After the gun for the six tenth inch bullet Is completed shall open negotiations for Its sale. Of course. the United States shall have the first chance. I have already re- ceived an offer from an English syn dicate.

SEEING THINGS AT NIGHT.
Why Objects Assume Fantastic and
 Alarming Appearance.

Everyone at times must have asked himself why familiar objects in a dim light tend to assume fantastic and of- tentimes alarming appearances.
 The explanation is to be found in the special conditions of night vision. The pupils are widely dilated, and as in the photographic lens with a large dla- phragm, the apparatus of accommo- dation can only forcus for one plane. As the faculty of estimating distances is in a great measure lost in the ob- scurity, we cannot focus with precision and q blurred uncertain outline is thrown upon the retina.
 Then, too, colors viewed in fading light lose their distinguishing hue in q fixed sequence until point is reached at which everything becomes of one uniform gray tint.
 It follows that the images which are transmitted to the visual centers are profoundly moulded in color and out line, and as they enter the eye through the widely dllated pupil at an altogeth-

TT IS WONDERFUL.

The Rajeunir Facial Treatment, as the name indicates, renews youthful appearance. It also removes all facial blemishes. improves the texture of the skin and lifts the contour of the face. The Rajeunir treatment is applied in person by Mrs. P. w. King, manager, at the New York Hair Dressing Shop DIG Chapel street
 Mrs. King was a pupil of the fam ous Isabel Cassidy of New York, and received diploma from her.
 No cutting nor blisterlng in the Ra- Jcunir treatment and no electricity used. It is delightful and harmless and a single treatment produces marvellous results and establishes confidence that 1t is all and more than is claimed for 1t.

 The East Indies are almost totally unknown New Guinet, the fourth largest island in the world; Borneo, with its head-hmters; the Celebes, Sumatra, are inhabited either py wandering head-huntcrs or petty Mo- hammedan potcntates, who have suc- cessfully resisted the oncroachments of their Dutch conquerors for centur- les. The entire central portion or Central Australia is an unknown des- .ert, crossed in one portion by the trnns-contlnental telegraph line, but totally unexplored outside the small parallel strip of territory which bord- CTS it. Those who remember the great de Rougemont fraud of q few years back, when the marvellous stories Of the pseudo-Australia discoverer were grecdily swallowed by the Royal Geographical society, may bear wit ness to the truth of this.
 Nor is our own continent greatly superior in this respect to those of the ancient world. Thrse-fourths of Canada is wilderness of marsh and tundra. The southern half of Florida Is still the haunt of Indials, who live there much as in De Sotos time.
