POOR WITNESS FOR FRIEND
Oeaeon's Brief Emphatic Testimony
Probably Somewhat Impressed
the Jury.

Deacon Stephen Potter, one of the
pioneers of Utica, n. Y, was a man
OF great eccentricity but high moral
character. The deacon will speak
the truth and shame the devil" was
often said of him.
On one occasion a friend was en-
gagged in lawsuit in regard to some
land few miles from Utica. He held
the land at a high price. During the
trial he called Deacon Potter as a
witness, to prove how valuable the
land was. The deacon was sworn and
asked If he knew the land.
Yes" he replied, Il know every
foot of it,
What do you think it is worth, Mr.
Potter was the next question.
The old man paused a moment and
then said, slowly: "If mad as many
dollars-as my yoke of oxen-could
draw--on a sled-on glazed ice-I
VOW would not give-a dollar an
acre for it,"-Youth's Companion.

MAID FOUND A FEW THINGS
~ Result, Brooklyn Woman Came
Home to Make a Few Remarks
to Hubby.

Irving Berlin, the author of "My
Wife's Gone to the Country" said al
recent dinner in New York.
"A true happening was the inspira
ton of this song.
In July Brooklyn woman set out
Tor Ocean Grove, and on her arrival
discovered that her watch, a small af.
fair, was missing. She thought il
had probably dropped on the thick,
soft dining-room rug, so she wired to
the maid at home:
! Let me know If you find anything
on rug in dining-room.'
"A few days later she got from
the maid a letter saying:
Dear Madam: / was to let you
know If found anything on the din
ing-room rug. This is what / found
this morning: Three champagne corks.
~ cigar butts, five cigarette ends, four
blue chips, SO burnt matches and one
pink satin slipper"

TO DESTROY AN AIRsHIP.

ing Air Craft.

Berlin.-The great success of dirigi-
Ole balloons has created a demand for
the invention of means to destroy
them in war time. OF these the fire
from rifles and machine guns was not
sufficient; on account of their small
caliber and the difficulty of watching
the moving airship. Cannon have
therefore been designed in Germany

addition 1t must be possible to move
the gun from place to place in the
shortest time.
The automobile illustrated herewith
complies with these many and diff.
cult requirements. 1t has been built
by the famous Krupp concern and
was exhibited in the recent interna-
tional aero show at Frankfort. The
fact that the gun is rather long fay.
ors a high speed for the projectile.
Above 1t is brake with a LIQUID and
air compressor. When a shot is to be
fired the boiling of the gun is olsen
gagged and the latter slides out by
the expansion of the air. The total
weight of the car is 4,315 Kilograms.
and that OF the gun alone $50 kilo-
grams. A 80 horsepower engine is
mounted under the hood and propels
the vehicle with speed of 70 miles
an hour-average. All four wheels are
connected with the motor, and thus
any rough ground and steep grades
can be overcome. On the platform
seats for five men are provided and
room for 80 cartridges.
The cartridges deserve some de.
scription. as they have some novel
features. 1t Is necessary to watch the
path Of projectile II applied to a
balloon. Shrapnel hit only the cover
and these holes are mostly closed
again by the inner gas pressure, so
that not much gas escapes. The best
result comes from brisance grenades,
which explode inside the balloon and
not only hit the envelope. but ignite
the gas. Thus an airship will be com
pletely wrecked, rs the photograph
shows. Another valuable feature Ia
that each projectile contains a burner
ignited as 1t leaves the gun, and this
produces a wake of black smoke,
showing the line Of fight by night or
day.
