equally famous machines are the nv
drauhc shears, which cut through three
inches OF solid armor- plate as if it were

iO-ouU-ton pressure bend armor-plate to
any shape desired with infinite ease.
Inc greatest armor-plate, perhaps, that
mas ever been turned out in this depart
ment was exhibited at Dusseldorf out
side the krupp pavilion during the ex-
hlbltion of 1902. This unique construc-
ton was not intended to serve any prac-
teal purpose, but was only shown to
demonstrate the capabilities of the
krupp works. The plate weighs 1O5
tons, is forty feet in length, ten feet
wide and foot in thickness.
1t is impossible to describe the i'm
mensity of the fittings and arrange
ments of the Essen establishment with
out giving a few figures. Suffice it to
say that the firm has its own water
works, maks its own gas and generates
its own electricity. The gas works sup
ply more gas for the factory town than
is used annually in Munich. namely,
twenty million of cubic meters annual

tributed all over the establishment do
not suffice for illuminating purposes.

than $50 miles of cable and wire and
over 600 telephone stations and twenty
telegraph stations are required to facii
tate communication throughout the
works. The chemical physical depart

the constant experiments and investi-
cations made form the keynote of the
high excellence of the Krupp works

Shooting Ranges.

The works at Essen are provided with
three splendid shooting ranges, one ff-
teen miles in length for heavy artil-
lery, one five miles long and a smaller
one for the trial of small guns, armor-
plate, explosives, etc. Large naval guns
are mostly tried at the long range at
Meppen. Last year over $4,000 expert
mental shots We're fred, the weight of
the proiectiies Discharged amounting to
over 100000 pounds. Foreign officers
of all nationalities can be seen at these
ranges daily testing the guns ordered
Thus Argentine and Chilean, Chinese
and japanese military commissions fol-
low each other in rapid succession. and
it has occurred that guns standing
parallel TO each other on the shooting
range have been pointed at each other
in deadly warfare later on.
The "Germania - shipbuilding yard
at Kiel deserves special mention as a
Krupp institution, where some of the
most modern of Germany's dread
noughts are undergoing completion.
At the present moment there are seven
slips situated there. all of which are
fitted up to accommodate ships of the
Idi StHt NlZt i our Vi lHeHH SIi DS are
covered over. In addition there is an
other building slip for ships of special
design. The whole of the yard, at
which 1000 men are working at pres
ent, is so constructed that in time of
necessity all of the different workshops
can be extended by at least thirty per
cent. OF late years the "Germania -
yard has acquired a reputation for fast
torpedo boats and submarines. One of
the finest ships in the German navy,
the dreadnought Schleswig Holstein,
bears eloquent testimony to the capa-
biIities of the yard.
1t is the boast of every German that
this country is so thoroughly prepared
and organized for war that she could
fight her western and eastern neighbors
simultaneously This I believe to be
the ease. And il is the secret of arm
ing carried on with a set purpose, with
out stir or vaunt. bat unwaveringlv
that would enable her to do this, and
Krupp's takes the lion s share in these
mighty preparations. as far as weapons
of defense and offense are concerned

YERINCTON CITY IAIL.
Reporter Declines to Recon-
mend it to Friends.

The new addition to the CITY Jail was
finished early this week, and Mark Err
way, the day officer, invited the reporter
to come across the street and look it
over.
l dunno, as Hinnessy seq, but it looks
as if Erway wanted some free boosting
of the Jail 50 that it would soon fill up
with summer boarders. Well, he isn't
going to get it. He can pay for his adj
vertising, just the same as the Holland
and Commercial do. Instead of boost
ing we are going to knock, and if good
cheap advice is taken, Erway won't have
enough guests all summer to make up
game of solo.
In the first place, the Yerington Jail is
not what it is cracked up to be-and, yet
it is full of cracks. The partitions be
tween the rooms are not solid-and
they're pretty solid at that. Oh, you
know what we mean The partitions
and walls OF the various rooms are
of half-inch steel, two inches wide,
but they're run perpendicuarly and hor
izontally, with spaces two inches square
left everywhere, instead of being laid
close together and covered with plaster,
or at least paper, as up-to date hotels
have them.
We won't say a word about the lack
of privacy which such building entails,
but just think of the strain on round
eyes continually looking through square
holes Just think of il
Then listen to this There isn't a
single bell-boy in the bloomin' place
There isn't even a bell Surprising a
fellow goes out into society some ni9ht,
where they have beer OH draught, and
he sits in the draught You know what
happens. The next morning he has a
cold i'll the head and fire in the stom-
between.
The usual plan in such cases is to get
up, hold one hand on the head, groan,
stagger to the button that pushes the
bell, push-and groan some more. The
bell-boy comes running and the guest
cries, Bring me two gallons of ice
water" The water arrives, is applied
to the usual place, and as the last drop
goes down the throat and puts out the
fire, the guest gives a sigh of relief, and
says: mo id teetotaler ever knew
how good water tastes
Can you do that at Erways place
Not on your life. You may have rings
on your fingers and bells on your toes,
as they sing about, but Erway would
never hear them. In case OF fire you
can wiring the towel, but that's as far as
you can go.
Much more could he said, but the boss
compositor says there's just enough now
to fill the blank space in tie paper and
that means 80. "

eminent. and not, consequently. subject
to the statute
1t is generally believed by District en-
ployes that the section OF the statutes
which Representative Mann quoted yes
terday and which prohibits government
employees from soliciting contributions
from others In the government service
was framed to prevent a system of ex-
tortion. In other words, a situation might
arise where a government clerk would be
approached for subscription to some
memorial or gift too expensive for him
or distasteful.
In either case it might be necessary for
him to join in the subscription in order
to keep the favor of his immediate
superiors. 1t was to prevent that con-
dition, it is believed by District employees
and others. that this law was written into
the statutes.
That the subscriptions were voluntary,
and not made after the manner of many
solicitations for similar objects, can per-
haps best be shown by the fact that in
ment 1t was made known that general
sentiment existed toward q farewell token
to Commissioner Mcfarland.
Some one placed an envelope in the
Office of the chief engineer. and the fire.
men on pay day filled that envelope with
their gifts In money. No one knows who
gave. No one knows how much any one
gave.
The other gifts were bought from a
fund made up in q similar manner, and
were not presented and the donors were
passed out of position in which they
could either reward or punish contribu-
tors or non-contributors to the subscrip-
ton fund
