John Roberts Of Watkins, Schuyler
county, a well driIler, recently pur-
chased OF Angelo Dupree, a junk deal
er, an old pump for 10 cents. 1t was
apparently Of no value, but he thought
there might be some parts that he
could use In his business. When Mr..
Roberts and his assistant took the
pump 70 one Of the wells they were
drilling and started breaking It up,
they were greatly surprised to see gold
coins drop out Of the holes they made.
They at once finished the job and
found $1,000. nearly all IN twenty dol
lar gold pieces. Whom the pump be-
longed to at the time the money was
hidden or how long IT had been there
u q mystery. The latest date Of any
OF the coins was 1888 Mr.. Roberts
at once deposited his find in the Farm

A kinu Hurry.

Before leaving for France, after his
recent visit to England, King Alfonso
made a call on a wen known firm of
jewelers. In Regent street, London.
After a cursory glance around the
showrooms he looked at his watch and
exclaimed:
Il wish to buy a few things, but am
n a great hurry"
he purchased a number Of sets Of
game bird menu holders in silver and
enamel. a gold elephant charm, some
handsome diamond ornaments and 9TH
er pieces Of jewelry. then. remarking
that he had only ten minutes In which
to catch his train, suddenly swept up
al the articles from the counter and,
without waiting for them to be put In
paper. thrust them into his pockets
and was gone. the visit occupying just

THE SEA BAT

spseimsn Of q Fish That Is Both
Queer and Rsro.
One Of the rarest specimens OF the
Ash kingdom known to waters con-
tiguous TO the North Carolina coast
was captured In a seine at Masonboro
sound by william Hewlett, a fisher
man, says the Wilmington Dispatch.
The fish, which was brought to the
city, Is what Is called "the sea bal"
and It Il a perfect reproduction Of a
leather wing bat on a large scale. The
hsh Is about fifteen inches long and
about thirty inches across the back.
Strange to state, It had a thin.
threadlIke tail about fifteen inches In
length, and on each side Of the rear
appendAge were two perfectly formed
gioved feet, with q smaller dimension
having the exact appearance Of a
thumb with the other part OF the hand
mittened The mouth Of the strange
specimen was about i've inches across,
and on each side Of the mouth or the
underside Of the body there were I'VE
~Strainers," or holes, through which
the fish Is said to rid itself Of refuse
products resulting from the forage It
picks up at the bottom Of the sea. The
top Of the fish was a dark slate color,
and the under part Of the body was
white.
One old negro fisherman more than
seventy years old declared that this
was only the second specimen OF the
sea bat he had ever seen in his long
experience as a fisherman. The speci-
men, which had a truly uncanny ap-
pearance, VIII probably be sent to the
state museum at Raleigh

Change Six Years Has ksads In Our
Men Behind the Guns.
The American navy now leads the
world iH accuracy and rapidity Of
shooting. Six years ago It was behind
the navy OF every first class power.
Six years ago the standard for firing
heavy turret guns, which are now Q
battleship's sole weapon Of eonss-
Quence In battle, was once In Eve min
utes. The average OF hits on the tar
get now In use would not have been
once an hour. At present these guns
IRE an average Of one and q half
shots a minute. They hit the target
once a minute. Six years ago the
standard rate Of FIRE for six inch guns
was less than two shots a minute. Az
shown by the tests Of 1902, less than
one shot In six bit the target Today
these guns frequently make as many
as twelve hits a minute, and the av-
erage Of the whole navy Is six hits q
minute. These are the records at the
LOGO yard range At the last long
range target practice In Massachusetts,
bay the battleships of the north At
lantic feet. firing at a target from
three to five miles away, averaged
nearly 30 per cent Of hits. With a tar
get one-third the size OF the ships at
Santiago Gt distances from two to
three times as grat eur feet made
more than fifteen times - D8eentage
Of hits.
Translated into terms OF war these
changes mean this Six years ago an
American battleship would not hit an
enemy's vessel at a battle range Of
three miles or more oftener than twice
an hour. Today every ship Of an enc
my's feet steaming into range would
be struck by two tons OF steel shell
every minute by every modern Ameri-
can ship firing at her. Solid metal
spatters like mud when these great
projectiles strike #. When charged
with their high explosives these shells
are swept through the ship In frag-
ments Of from 200 pounds In weight
down to the finest steel dust. In all
human probability no ship In the
world could stand such a fire fifteen
minutes.-McClure's.
