SHOCK OF BIG GUN FIRING
Deafness e Sure Result and Nerves
and Senses are Terribly
Strained.

One Of the penalties attendant on
firing of big guns is deafness. So sure
as this penalty to be exacted that, 1t is
asserted, no man can go through a
long series Of gunnery practise with.
out having his hearing affected. A
stranger on deck who hears a big gun
speak for the first time will not soon
forget the stunning report.
One gun is enough to startle a
stranger, but the shattering effect of
the whole armament when in action
together can hardly be conceived. The
strain upon nerves and senses when
the rending concussion takes place is
terrible.
There Is not great difference be-
tween the effect of the big guns and
that Of the smaller pieces, strange as
1t may seem. II the visitor places him.
self beside one of the smaller gums.
and then listens to the roar Of the big
one, the sound will not appear much
louder than that Of the gun by his
side. The extra distance to the muzzle
OF the big piece discounts the sound.
The only apparent difference between
the two will be that the smaller piece
has sharper, high.pitched tone, and
that the big guns speak with a more
believing roar.
II one watches the firing OF the gun
the crash has not such startling ef.
feet as when Il comes unexpectedly.
Loud as 1t is, nature has prepared the
watcher to resist the shock which he
knows is impending.

RENO THE RENEGADE

A few days ago a Japanese
married white girl in Reno, the
ceremony beng performed by a
Methodist Minister. This marriage
has caused considerable comment
throughout the State and Mr.. Kelly
has been severely criticized. The
Tonopah Bonanza relieves itself of
the following:
Reno now possess es among its list
of notables, minister who has an
nounced he will marry all couples
who come before him, irrespective
of race prejudices. This same
minister, Rev. w. S. Kelly, pastor
of the Methodist church, married
Japanese and white girl Saturday
and howl of protest has gone up
on account of his action. Yet the
domino has paid no heed to the
public and has calmly announced
that he would continue to
perform such weddings as often
as he was requested to do 80.
Reno is the most unfortunate
town in the west and every at
tempt made to pose as a moral city
is met with sew ere set lack.
First came the world wide agita-
ton against gambling in Nevada,
and in the crusade that followed
Reno was pictured as the wickedest
town in the United States. The
papers of that city helped to
advertise the sh ortc omings the
town possessed and on this account
the attendance at the state
university decreased materially.
Then came the notoriety achieved
by the divorce question, and now
the period of marrying white girls
to Japanese is on the calendar.
The next act of decentralization
and degradation on the part of the
Renoites should OCCASION no surprise
to the rest of the state and to the
outsiders as we'll, for no matter
what it proves to be, it cannot
surpass any of the existing evils
that are now in vogue in the Ne
vada metrop oils.
The people of Nevada might be
able to stand for gambling and
divorces, but when it comes to
making the state Gretna Green
for marrying of Japanese and
white girls. it is time that some
thing was done, and as the
legislature will convene in few
weeks. it is probable that a law
prohibiting such unions will be
enacted.
