London as II Was.

Uaydn's Dictionary Of Dates
makes the statement that the old name
Of the city of London was written
Lynden or Llyndin, meaning the city
on the lake" An old tradition gives
us to understand that London was
founded by Brute, descendant OF
Aencas, and called New Troy on Troy
novant until the time OF Lud. who sur
rounded the town with walls ind
named it Caer-Lud, or Lud's Town.
This latter is probably the correct ver-
sion of the story, if for no other rea-
son because il is an easy matter to de.
tect a similarity between the express
sion Lud's Town and London Ii is
claimed by some writer's that there
was Il city on the same spot l.107
years b. c., and it is known that the
Romans founded city there called

A RECORD IN GUN FIRING.
The Heaviest Broadside Ever Dis
charged From a Warship.


The most dramatic incident OF the
gunfring trials of the new Brazilian
battleships Minas Geraes and sac
Paulo, was the firing of an entire
broadside simultaneously. making u
terrific discharge. the heaviest broad
side ever fired and an event unparal-
leled in the history OF balllstics.
The five turrets OF the ship were all
trained on the port beam. all the ten
guns being given an elevation OF seven
degrees and loaded with full charge
OF 2S1 pounds of corlite. The ten
twelve-inch guns. monster weapons If
~ feet long. each discharged II shell of
500 pounds weight. making total of
$500 pounds weight OF metal" At
the same time were fired the eleven :. {
guns mounted on the sac paulo's
broadslde. each sending OF proJcctlle
weighing forty-dve pounds and adding
100 pounds To the discharge. making
up a total broadside lire amounting 60
S.99J pounds record discharge or
destructive projcctilrS. These vessels
mount rs light guns In addition six
hree-poundcrs on each broadsidc, which
fired In action would bring up the
total possible weight OF metal fred
from the ship to 9,013 pounds.
The most notable feature OF the
Minas Geraes is her superlmposed tur-
rets. The wings OF the navigating
bridge are removed for action. the
boats discarded and davlts swung back
out OF the way while the guns are be
ing fired.-London illustrated News.

FIGHT THE RULES
REPRESENTATIVE NORRIS OF Me-
BRAskA WILL SEEK MANY
CHANGES.
is A PROGRESSIVE REPUBLICAN
Wants House Of Representatives to
Appoint Its Own committees--WiIl
Endeavor to Have Change Made at

Washington, Nov. 1S.-Regardless of
the wishes of Representative Champ
Clark or any of the other Democratic
leaders in the house, the fight for
further modification Of the rules so as
to take from the speaker the power to
appoint committees and give that
power to committee on committees
will be renewed at an early date. Two
elements in the house will keep the
struggle alive. One Is the insur .ant
Republican element. The other is thu
new Democratic insurgent element.
Representative Norris of Nebraska.
one of the foremost Republican In.
surgents, who all along has been fight.
ing for a committee on committees
and whs was reelected by huge ma
jority in a district considered close,
is not going to let up in his efforts to
get a committee on committees. 1t
is learned that Judge Norris is plan
ming to renew the fight as soon as he
believes he can succeed. This prob.
ably will be in the short session.
Judge Norris view, as he has COM
municated it to friends here, is to
carry out the balance of the so-called
insurgent program at the ealiest OPP
portunity and at the short session ii
feasible.
Representative Hay OF Virginia, who
has been mentioned by some of his
friends in the house as a possible
candidate for speaker against Mr..
Clark, was in Washington. He did not
admit he was candidate for speaker,
but had lot to say about the PROPOSE
ton to have a committee on commit
tees in the house.
Refusal on the part Of the Demo
cratic majority in the next congress
to create a committee on committees
would be, in my opinion, the repudia-
ton OF a great principle, as well as a
fatal political blunder," he said.
