A House Built in a Day.

Out in East St. Louis an attractive
one-story frame cottage has won con
siderable renown, and will no doubt
go down in history as the house thai
was built in half a day.
This feat was the result of a whim
of a bride. A little before o'clock
in the morning of recent day, the
lot where the house was to be built
was filed with weeds, and there was
no lumber. stone, or any other build
ing material. AS the whistles blew
at Z O'Clock, however, loads of ma
terial and hordes of workmen arriv.
ed at the corner of Harding and For
est streets, and the work was begun.
The contractor led the procession,
and he was followed by sixty work
men who represented all the trades
required to construct the cottage His
greatest problem was to see that the
men did not get in each others way.
This he successfully managed, some
how, and through his perfect organ.

one minute Of time wasted. At exact

twelve hours later-the $4,000 house

THF NAVY'S DUMMY DRILL GUN
, Ey Waiter |. BeasIey.

The recent brilliant and surprising
scores made by the ships at target
practice at Magdalena Bay shows a
and demonstrates that the men be-
hind the guns have been trained up to
the highest point of efficiency in the
various operations connected with
firing the batteries, such as quick
handling OF shells, ammunition, point
ing and sighting, and other matters
entering into the performance of sue
cessful naval gunnery. AS recently
announced by the Navy Department,
The St. Mary banner. (Franklin, Parish of St. Mary, La.) 1889-1931, 1909-09-04

the gun crews are kept at systematic
and continuous drills with the dummy
loading machine, consequently the
men have acquired the top-notch in
speed, coupled with a mathematical
precision in the handling of the pro-
jectiles, powder charges, etc. When
the vessel reaches the range, and as,
at the speed assigned, very short
time interval is allowed for the run,
it is important to begin firing at once
with the rapidity consistent with
getting on" the target. The size of
the target varies according to calibre
and practice. but the target screens
for the great guns are about twenty
one feet in length and seventeen feet
in width and are distant from the
range about 1900 yards. The Navy
Department provides four trophies
for excellence in gunnery-one each
for battleships, cruisers, gunboats and
torpedo craft. In addition, money
rewards are distributed according to
gun rank or rating among the sue,
cessful crews.-Scientific American.

Poets and National Greatness.


Victor Hugo once said in his lordly
generalizing way, that it was Shake
speare who prevented England from
being only another Carthage; and it
is indeed true that but for our great
poets we should not hold the place
we do hold in the opinion of Europe.
Because of them we do not vince
when we are described as a nation OF
shopkeepers, for they prove that We,
like the Florentines and Venetians.
are something more than that. NJ.
Bourget has expressed the general
wonder of cultivated foreigners that
the English nation, which seems so
matter OF fact and even dull. should
have produced two poets compared
with whose works all other poetry
seems to be prose; and these poets
are the very two who are to be hon
ored today in Rome. It is certainly
a fact that more than any other M.
ton we produce men of genius who
vary extremely from our normal type,
and we never have produced more
wonderful poets than Shelley and
Keats.-London Times.

Our hghspeed dummy

| the battleship Maryland of the Pacific
Squadron carries off the honors, win
ming the trophy by the fine score OF
1910; the cruiser trophy goes to
the Albany, having a score of 1924,
while the gunboat trophy was won
by the Wilmington, whose record was
67,44S
AS the successful achievements of
these creditable and record breaking
performances are due almost entirely
to a particular method of training,
it will be of timely interest to picture
and describe the dummy drill gun.
BY the use of this device the men be-
come experts in lifting and loading
the heavy shells, and develop into hui
man automatic machines, handling
the weighty projectiles and showing
them into the breech with great
rapidity and skill. The main object
Of the dummy loader" is to give the
shell men an opportunity to acquire
speed and proficiency in the handling
of the shells without wearing out the
breechblocks of the guns. Of late
much attention is being paid by all
the ships in the navy to these drills,
for in actual service much depends
upon the promtness and accuracy of
the she'll man. Should he "muff" a
she'll at the critical moment, or let it
roll away from him, should he drop
Tin short, should he fail to send
1t home safe and true when the
breechblock of the big gun is swung
open for him-the consequences
might be serious.
The dummy loader" is the latest
invention of the Ordnance Depart
ment, and is facsimile of the breech
and powder chamber of a big gun up
the point where the rifling begins.
Loading 1t requires the Identical mo-
lions that are employed in the load
ing and firing OF the real weapon.
One man opens and closes the breech;
the she'll man grasps the projectile
and quickly rams it inside, followed
by the dummy charge of powder in
a bag; the shell comes down the
return chute on the left side of the
apparatus; the "take-off" man catches
he she'll as it falls out at the end, and
shoves it again to the loader at the
front. The dummy powder charge is |
handled in the same way, and the
whole makes a continuous operation
Tor the loader. By the time he has
put in the last shell and the breech
S closed and locked, it is ready to be
swung open again by the plug man,
Ind an additional shell showed in.
A marked economic improvement in
he saving of the life of guns is thus
obtained. The breechblock of these
costly weapons would soon be worn

good clue to the men who robbed her
of her hair last Monday night, two days
after she was married, though Joe
Clemens, of Perth Amboy, and Louis

sweetheart of hers previous to her
marriage. and she says she cannot
imagine who wrote the note found In
the bosom of her dress after she was
brought into the house from the yard
where the outrage was committed. This
note was written in Hungarian and
said.
Dear RIVAL wish you luck. We
could have taken her life, but only
wanted to shame her, and cut off the
hair of which she was so proud, on that
head of hers she carries so high. 1t
would have been relief to kill her. She
was SO happy when she swore her troth.
