The Vesuvius compares with torpedo
boat rather than a battleship, being
only 929 tons burden and having high
speed, but no armor.
Owing to the high trajectory of the
dynamite guns fire the three tubes on
the Vesuvius are set pointing up into
the air at an angle Of eighteen degrees
from the horizontal. The tubes extend
to the bottom of the vessel and the
loading is done there. with the maya
zine carried along the keel so as to be
safe from explosion by a shot received
from the enemy. AS the position of
the guns is fixed the whole vessel must
be turned to get the range. The guns
point toward the bow. On shore, 1t is
said, it will be possible to swivel the
guns.
Though the experts are not yet con-
WINGED that the Zalinski gun is certain
of being useful in future warfare, they
see In it possibilities and probably will
continue to experiment with 1t. At the
least, the invention is conceded to have
been useful in demonstrating the posi-
bility of firing large charges of high
explosives for long distance by means
of compressed air, and this demonstra-
ton, without regard to its immediate
results, was of value to the military
and naval world.-Chicago Record Her.

Standards before Santiago harpor. IN
1890 the first official tests of the inven-
ton were made by committee OIL
naval officers on the Delaware river
near. Chester, Pa. Shells nearly nine
feet long, weighing with the incloseo
dynamite more than 500 POUNDS. We're
fired. The naval officers had SO Ittie
faith in the invention that they WIN
drew in a tug to q distance or a mile
before they gave the signal for nring.
This test showed that the shells could
be fired safely and sent more than a
mile with the certainty of exploding on
striking or at the end of the time Tor
which a time fuse was set.
Subsequent tests by the United
States and foreign governments showed
an effective range up to two miles.
Owing to the fact that the gun must
he inclined upward so as to throw the
shell in a high curve and drop 1t upon
the target, the invention is considered
by naval experts hardly practicable Tor
extensive use aboard ships. As means
of coast defense, however, 1t is said
to have great possibilities, and some
experimenters have predicted that
eventually it will displace the torpedo.
By graduating the amount of COM
pressed air used, the range of the gun
is controlled to a degree of accuracy
that has been found surprising in some
of the tests made by British experts.
The Vesuvius received a test of her
effectiveness in actual warfare before
the harbor of Santiago, when Cervera' s
fleet was bottled up by the blockading
vessels of the United States navy. Un-
der cover of darkness one night she
stole up to within 800 yards of the
Spanish Notifications and discharged
three shells loaded with gun cotton.
Two of the three shots exploded on
the hill with terrific effect. but moth
ing further was attempted and the
Vesuvius rejoined the fleet Naval au-
thorities have been inclined to depre-
cate the usefulness Of the Vesuvius for
offensive warfare, holding that the ves-
sci was shown ineffective in this trial.

ACTOR AT ORPHEUM EXPLAINS

Ray L. Royce States He Picked Up

Many Parts of the

Ray L. Royce, who is depicting char
acters at the Orpheum this week, began
life as a blacksmith, progressed to the
stage as a Swiss bell ringer, finally
landed in York State Folks" as char
acter comedian, and now is giving I'M
presentations which he has taken from

many lands and years. No matter What
character he happens to be delineatlng
Mr.. Royce declares that he has an
actual basis for 1t, and that exaggera-
ton is unnecessary for stage purposes

any ideal or conception you may have

think him an, exaggeration, but he isn't

gerate in his case, as he gave all the
evidences of imbecility that show.
Old Justice is Real
1.-THE old justice whom I depict is
based on just such a man whom l met
while travelling in Wisconsin. He was a
pettifogging old lawyer, who knew
nothing of Blackstone, but who had
picked up a number of Latin phrases
of common import, and these he used
on every occasion, without regard to
their fitness. The result was that the
ignorant thought him erudite, and
elected him justice-once. His career
lasted that term only.
THE country lawyers you have all
run across. They are true, and any
Mr.. Royce's versatility is wonderful,
as is shown by the fact that he por-
leaving the stage, with no one to help
him, and with no aids save a few wigs.
These he puts on and off before his
audiences, and at once he is in or out
of character.
at is, of course, much more difficult
than in giving a play" said he. "You
are alone on the stage, in ordinary
garb and with no accessories of seem
cry, and no one to divide interest with
you. IT is really giving a drama with
none of the accomplishments that make
a stage play real. But once you inter-
est your audience. it forgets that you
are merely production of wits unaided,
and enters into the spirit of the thing
admirably"
Don't you ever expect to go into a
real play?" he was asked.
Again? Well, yes; but I want the
right sort I want to play high class
comedy role, with something to it. I
want to portray gentleman, fine old
gentleman with a keen sense of humor,
and fine ideal of life. Perhaps some
day will find such a character in the
right play. Till then, I will continue
my little two a day. with nothing to
help me but my own wits"

GRADERS ACCUSED OF
CRUELTY TO ANIMALS
FOUR MEN WHO WORK ON CITY
CONTRACT ARRESTED
Superintendent of S. p. c. A. Makes
Charges Against Member of Firm

Thomas Hutton, a member of the

nue., and three employees of the COM

hold and c. B. Russell-were arrested
late yesterday afternoon by Superin-
tendent thinner and Deputies Herring
ton and Fowler Of the S. p. c. A. and
booked at the central police station on
charges of cruelty to animals.
The arrest of the men resulted from
information furnished the officers Of
the s. p. c. A. by persons living near
where the grading work is being done
The stories of cruelties inflicted by the
graders on the unfortunate animals
seemed SO incredulous that Superin-
tendent thinner decided to make a
thorough investigation before causing
any arrests,
thinner, accompanied by his two dep
uties, watched the men for several
hours. There is a steep hill where most
of the work is being done, and the
teams have a hard time dragging the
heavy loads of dirt up the incline.
According to the officers but two ami
mails We're used to draw the heavily
loaded wagons, and when the horses or
mules baked at the steep grade the
men beat them brutally using tie most
convenient implement to inhict the
punishment
While watching the men at work, the
officers say, they witnessed d most fla

the back of one Of the animals at
tached to heavy laden wagon and
with a rock in each hand beat the I'M
fortunate mule on the head. and ONLY

alleged to have struck the animals
were taken to the station and will be
used as evidence against the graders.
