BICYCLE COMING BACK.
A Greater Sale of tlem this Season
in the Small Towns.
News and Courier.) }

(NeWS anu COuTleF.) ..'
According to those who sell them,
bicycles are coming in again. The
sales Of this season thus far have
been far greater than those Of last
year at this time, and those In turn
greater than in 1906. The figures
do not come anywhere near the enor-
nous totals of the late '90s, when
the bicycle was king and IL you didn t
ride 1t you weren't any one.
Now, however, the reaction is be-
mig felt. For a few seasons after
the bicycle boom f1attened out like a
punctured tire there wasn't any more
interest in the bicycle than there Is
in a cent in n busted savings bank.
The stalwart few stuck to the game.
In the cities the new boom isn't
felt so much as In the towns. The
argument made there which sells BIZ
cycles is the appeal to the saving in
stincts. The bicycle knocks out car
fares and still furnishes a lot Of fun
for those who can't afford motor
cycle, much less an automobile.

Columbus, Ca, June 1O.--A sem
sational shooting ARRAY occurred in
the City Drug Store at Hamilton this
afternoon, Henry Mobley, aged 80
years, shooting his brother-in-law,
Cooper Truett, three times with a
pistol. The first that the people in
the drug store knew Of any impend-
ing trouble was when Mobley ex-
claimed, 'you are liar" and pulled
his pistol and began to fire. One OF
the balls passed entirely through
Truett's head, entering near one ear
and emerging on the opposite side of
his face. His condition Is extremely
serious. When picked up Tfuett had
his pistol out.

so years in building is one of the mod
ern marvels. The task of reconstruct
ing the city has been far greater
than to construct new city on virgin
ground. Former generations of men,
lacking modern tools, would have been
staggered by the mere clearing away
of gigantic debris. There have been
hampering circumstances, scarcity and
dearness of labor and building mate
rial. The enthusiastic sense of har-
mony and cooperation between all
classes that prevailed Immediately aft
sr the disaster was gradually replaced
by the normal struggles between indi-
vidual interests, and. for example. the
dream of a city beautiful, built on a
single plan, could not be realized.
In spite of everything, San Fran
cisco to-day is the same in one impor-
tart sense as she was before the earth
trembled and the flames ragged. AL
though only One-third 81 the structures
destroyed have been replaced, these
are SO much greater in their proper
tons than their predecessors that the
present floor space is about equal to
all the floor space annihilated Ten
thousand buildings, representing a
value of $1O0,OOO,OOO, are either com
plete or nearly constructed. After this,
whatever is done will be largely in
the nature of surplus development on
areas handily cleared for a newer and
greater city. 1t might be considered
that destruction has accelerated prog
ress at least a decade. Economists
have pointed out the benefit to ma
tional industry resulting from a mod
crate amount of property destruction.

SEch speculations would seem to be-
long to the school Of novelistic dream
ers of the future However, they are
soberly advanced as matters not very
far over the future horizon by Col
Frederic n. Maude c. B., a military
authority and lecturer in military his
tory at Manchester university, in Eng

It appears to Col Maude, writing in
the Contemporary Review, that the
invention of the electric gun is the

is unlike any gun ever known, since It
has no recOil. The lay mind can
hardly conceive the possibility Of a
projechle leaving a gun at terrific
speed, yet having no backward push.
Whether powder or compressed air
is used in the ordinary gun, there is
a powerful recOil, propOrtionate to the
charge and the weight of the weapon.
1t may be surmised that the electric
projectile is not driven. but drives it
self by means Of propellers, constitut-
ing an aerial torpedo or a seIf-directed
aeropIane Of destruction.
There is no sound or smoke. The
initial velocity Is 80, 900 feet a second.
This is travelling close to six miles a
second, a speed heretofore undreamed
Of for pTojectiles Of any sort.
Half a mile a second is about the
limit for powder-driven projectiles.
The electric weapon is able to propel
missiles Of any desirable dimensions
and weight up to 1000 pounds.

ing with solid projectile, while the
mere conveyance of high explosives
at a greater range would be sufficient
ly destructive.
1t is assumed that 200 miles viii be
the effective range. At this estimate
the nations Of Europe could mutually
devastate their cities without over
stepping frontiers. A small anarchis-
tic state could blow up half a dozen
metropolises. Bombs could be dis
pensed from London to a circuit Of
cities including Liverpool, Amsterdam,
Brussels and Paris. The channel
would interpose no obstacle to a duel
between the French and English CAPT
tails, torpedoes flying through the air
In opposite directions to destroy West
minister and the Pantheon, the houses
Of parliament and the Louvre.
The dirigible balloon and the aero
plane are the only means suggested to
cope with the new terror. They might
explore the country. locate the enemy
and drop packages Of dynamite ON him
unless he annihilated them first with
an aerial torpedo. The airships, now

ELECTRIC CANN0N|N NEW SAN FRANCIs|
WAR ENGINE WITH RANGE OF
TWO HUNDRED MILES.
Sea Coast Cities Could Be DESTROYED
BY Shells from Ships Far Out
at Sea Beyond Range Of
Ordinary Guns.

An electric cannon with arrange of
200 miles is said to be one of the re.
cent developments in war equipment,
tldings Of such a tremendous weapon
having come from England. With
such cannon France could easily
destroy great cities of England, and
England could as easily do this same
by France. Germany could plant her
batteries 200 miles from the French
border and blot out great cities. and
the French could give them tit for tat.
/ A gun placed on top of the Alps could
destroy countless millions of dollars
worth of property. -
How would Boston feel If a feet 200
miles out in the Atlantic were able to
train guns on her? Or how would
Canada feel if from a position well
on the United States side of the Cana
dian boundary we were able to hurl
huge shells at her?
Some wireless scout might report
that a missile was on the way. It
would take full minute. even with
the enormous initial velocity of six
miles a second, for the destructive Wis
itor to arrive. A minute is long enough
to get thoroughly scared in, but
scarcely gives the opportunity for an
entire population to escape.
II there were any sound accompany
ing the discharge, il would be heard
about Is minutes after the arrival of
the projectile. Probably no warming
would be given.
Let the wireless buzz and the aero
planes go scouting at all points of the
compass in search of the destroyer
Of cities. Boston might be bIotted out
in the few hours required. with the
best luck, to find the enemy And if
the location Of the enemy is known at
the beginning, and fire fights fire, the
enemy has a city for a target while

GOODNESS of head and Iargeness of
pccketbook to indulge in ne sport.
Mrs. HarboCds drawing DOM at her
home in Beaufort Gardens. London,
reveals her predominant taste in many
ways One OF the chief ornaments is
splendid cup, bearing the following
inscription:
"a. c. U. K. Long Distance Cup.
Presented by Miss Krabble. Won by
Mrs. Assheton Hartford. London to
Drifield,. 1856 miles, Sept 1906"
The cup which is of silver, is in the
form of half a balloon, while the
stem is designed in a most original
manner.
Mrs. Hartford is entitled to qualify
as a balloon pilot, her so ascents in
Guiding IL night ascents and three
crossings of the English channel, more
than fulfilling the requirements for
such distinction. but she has never
felt inclined to adopt su+fragette
methods in order to be put on an
equality with her brother balloonists
in England However did she do so
company for in Germany there is one
woman pilot and in France Nine. Sur
cOUf has piloted people several times.
Mrs. Hartford has made ascents with
a great many OF the best-known
French aerOnauts. and she admits that
France has many advantages over
England as baIlooning country. On
- h.
have always the risk CT being carried
out to sea, whatever way the wind
may be blowing II they decide to
cross the English channel. and do so
safely, they are in danger Of being
carried above the Alps and having to
make a descent on a snow peak, or
other UncOngeniaI Ianding-place Of the
kind. If the start is made in France.
on the contrary. the aeronauts have
great spaces Of open country before
them, and the Alps can be nassed
whilst the balloons are stiu well sup
Piled with ballast The weather, too,
is much more settled in France than
in England, and this is a great con-
sideraion for aeronsuts.
The fascination which balloCning ex-
ercises over those who have once in
dulged in It is very remarkable. Mrs.
Hartford has never known any one
who has been up once and has not
wanted 10 go up again. A vacant
place in q friends balloon tempted
her to make her first ascent. 1T was
a beautiful day" she remarked, and
We had a most delightful trip. and
from that time have taken every op-
portunity Of going up" One OF the
chains Of ballooning is the ceaseless
novelty Of the experiences which it
provides. The conditions are always
changing, and there is always some
thing TO learn.
It has often been wondered why
aeronauts chose to make night as
cents, even when there was no moon
and they could not hope to enjoy the
splendid views which have been SO
exquisitely described by Nine. Fam.
marion and other writer's. Mrs. Rar-
bord told me that 1t was because the
balloon travels more steadily at
night as rule, and therefore less
ballast, which is really the nfe-blood
of the balloon, is expended. When
the sun Is shining, the gas expands
and the balloon shoots up, only to
descend again II it comes in contact
with cold clouds.
