CANNoN-Inquisitiye City. How far MAY
the sound of cannon be heard?
That depends on conditions and the
direction of the wind at the time of
the discharge. 1t is said that the. dis
charge of cannon at Antwerp in 1882
was heard in the Erzgebirge mountains,
$40 miles distant. 1t is said that this
is the record distance. The report of
cannon travels a great distance over
land because of the vibration eommuni-
Gated to the soil. The greatest height
at which the sound of cannon has been
heard is 10000 feet. when at that height
over Birmingham, Eng. the firing of

woman who had husband and who
has not been divorced according to the
laws of the state in which she was
party to an action to dissolve the mar
Fiage bonds.

dollar, has on one side a head. that
side is the head and the other is tail.
If, however. there is ne imprint of a
head, the side that bears the date is
the head" for it contains the most
important information and figures.
Technically. the head side of the coin
is the diverse, while the other side, or
tail, is the reverse.

Blanch and Huntington left their
grips at the station while they talked
to the agent at Tracy. When they
reached for them again Blanch dis
covered that his suitcase contained a
powder puff and several bits of dainty
lingerie.

for his initials on the end to make sure
of the Identification. He was not ex-
actly positive of the contents of his
grip, but felt that he was not carry
ing any of the previously named
articles.
There was a woman with grip like
that entered the drug store a minute
ago, volunteered the agent.
Blanch hurried across the street and
found the young woman in the act of
opening his grip. She was searching
for her purse in an effort to secure
money to pay for a long distance tele-
phone call. She had just extracted a
liquid head rest" when Blanch asked
her If she hadn't made mistake
The exchange in grips was made and
Blanch and Huntington returned to the
depot and boarded their train

nervously after the train had pro-
ceeded few miles.
