"A MODERN SIX hYcH Gun 90

there are many such men in the artillery
ranks. If the marksmen at Fortress Monroe
failed in their cunning there is little chance
that their brother artillerymen at Fort Wool
would fail in theirs for the enemy that would
attempt to force the passage of the James
would almost brush the muZZles of the small
er forts guns.
Few of the modern 12-inch rifles that form
the armament of Fortress Monroe are mount
ed on the parapet of the ancient part Of the
stronghold. The real Notifications on the
beach hundreds of yards away. The visitor
was at the post, luckily, during target prac-
tice with the big guns-a practice of none too
frequent occurrence because of the great ex-
pense.
From the hotel window at the breakfast
hour the visitor saw a government tug towing
two red triangular pyramids made of cloth
stretched on frameworks of wood. An hour
later the big rifles of the beach battery
pegging away at these pyramids which were
drawn through the zone of fire at a ten-knot
gait by the tug, which had line enough over
the stern seemingly to assure its safety,
though the work of the tugmen looked danger
Gus to the layman.
The targets were not hit, and yet they were
hit at nearly every shot and the conscience
isn't hurt in making this contradicting state
ment. With their glasses and measuring in
struments. the officers with the firing detail
marked the place where the projectile struck,
and If it hit within space fore or aft of the
target not greater than the space that would
have been covered by batteship. hit was
credited. 1t is fair system of marking, and
is the one used by the land and artillery
men of the world
The life of 12-inch gun is measured by
little more than five-score shots. Add this to
the expense of the firing, and you have some
of the reasons why most of the big-gun prac-
tce is confined to sighting without shooting.
If Gen. Crozier the chief of ordnance has his
way the Pinch rifles will be superseded be-
fore long by rifles of 14-inch caliber. 1t is
barely possible that the increase recently in
the actual firing practice of the large rifles is
due to a desire to hasten the day of the new
guns, for after many rounds, as already stated,
the present ordnance will be useless for Of
fensive purposes.
There is evidence at Fortress Monroe of the
quick passing of the glory and the strength of
the artillery armament. Guns which not many
years ago marked the highest efficiency are
being dsmounted by the hirelings of the junk
dealers, TO be carted away TO the ignominy of
the scrap heap. The government reaps no
Charlevoix county herald., 1910-04-23

duty to locate the mine fields and clear the
channel of the explosives. Small boats
sent out from the investing battleships with
crews given over to the duty Of finding the
mines and Of removing the dangerous OBJ
structions by process of graphing.
The artillerymen at Fortress Monroe are
drilled at frequent intervals in the work of
checkmating any attempt of the enemy to in
wade the mine fields and to drag away the
torpedoes. The drill is conducted at night. and
it is combination of the exciting and the
picturesque. mine field is laid off, and sm$h
government boats with crews of artillerymtn
aboard undertake to approach the defensive
point under cover of the night.
The soldiers at the rapid-fre guns on shore
stand ready to open the boats if the men
manipulating the searchlights succeed in
picking them up" If the boatmen manage
to sneak in through the darkness undiscovered
and, still undiscovered, given time to let
down their graphing hooks. they have won
the game. If, on the other hand, the search
light squad finds them coming to the minN,
field, and shows them as a shining mark to the
gunners, the men of the fortress are held to
have won the day, or, it should be, the
night. This searchlight and mine-field drill
doesn't cost much. and it is important in
the game of war, the artillerymen have it over
and over again. 1t is amusement and serious
work in one.
Under law passed recently by congress
the pay of the enlisted men of the sea-coast
artillery has been increased. A high order of
intelligence is needed in the service. and the
men who serve one enlistment are capable be-
cause of the instruction they receive, Of filing
well-paying positions in civil life The result
has been that few men have cared to re-en1st
and Uncle Sam has been compelled to go DER
the instruction work time after time with new
levies of recruits. The increase in the pay of
the men, II is believed, will hold them to the
service.
Fortress Monroe is one of the best posts in
the army from the enlisted mans point of
view. He has everything that makes for COM

constantly changing and always interesting

The Power of the Ad.

John Harnitt Lowndes, the noted
psychologist of Richmond, was prais-
ing the power of advertising.
A lady disputed the compelling pow
er that Mr.. Lowndes imputed to the
advertisement, and on a wager the
psychologist inserted in a Richmond
daily the following:
81 promise nothing. | contract to
to perform nothing. But
Send me 80 cents in stamps. Per-
haps there is a surprise in store for
you. Who knows?" j. II. L., p. o.
Box 217."
And Mr.. Lowndes won his wager.
His curious advertisement brought
him in enough stamps to make a sub
stantial contribution to Richmond s
charities. 1t also caused-for the story
spread-a boom in advertising among
Richmond's men of business.

Cycle Ride of 60 Miles for a Wife.

A wedding was solemnized recently
at the Wesleyan church at Colchester,
England, under unusual circum-
stances.
The necessary certificate from the
registrar not having arrived on Satur-
day night, the anxious bridegroom. F.
e. Moore, accompanied by the brother
OF the bride, T. E. Wright, started off
at $3.50 a. m. on Sunday to cycle to
Clacton, where they awaited the sort
ing of the morning mail. The expect
ed letter was not, however, in the
mail, and the pair then cycled to
Dovercourt, the residence of the regis
trar. He kindly went to the registra-
ton office at Harwich with them and
handed them the all essential docu-
ment.
The cyclists then rode back to Col
chester, having covered in all sixty
miles. The wedding had been fixed
for a. M, but it was duly solemnized
at 2:30 p. m.

ALL PARTNERS IN BUSINESS
Boston Store Has Come to the tN
treme in Development Of Profit
Sharing Scheme.

Profit sharing, which In America Is
virtually an experiment, has been In
practical application for quarter OF
century in England. The number OF
labor co-parterniship societies there
rose from Is in 1883 to 112 last year.
with an increase in business from
100000 to about $4,000, 600.
The South Metropolitan Company
last year divided $4,000 among its
employees, the equivalent OF seven
and one-half per cent. dividend on
their wages, and in Is years 1t has
distributed $2,100,000 to workmen as
their share of the profits. Six Eng
lish gas companies adopted the profit
sharing plan during the year
According to Moody's Magazine,
Mr.. Carnegie says that Boston store
has gone furthest of all in 1.-The direc-
ton of making its employees share
holders" This establishment, he
says, employees 700 to 900 men, the
capital stock is held only by en-
ployes and is returned to the corpor-
alton at its value should the employee
leave the service. Every share OF
stock belongs to some one working
in the store.

at Fortress Monroe 1t is a working post for
the officers and the enlisted men of the garri-
son and for the officers of the artillery school,
The big-gun service of to-day is not the big
gun service of yesterday. The time has passed
when the loading of great rifle simply

a projectile of iron. In this day the loading
the sighting and the firing are sciences, and
the men who do the work are scientists Pro-
motion comes only to the artilleryman who has
mastered his art, and the work and the study
go day after day through the years of ex-
pertinent, keeping pace with progress in the
knowledge Of warfare.
This Virginia garrison has the safety of sew
eral American cities in its keeping. 1t is the
outpost defense of Washington and Baltimore,
and with Fort Wool, it stands as an aggressive
sentinel keeping watch over Norfolk and Rich
mond
Across the mingling waters of the bay and
the ocean lies Cape Charles, the rough coast
of which is visible on clear days to the gunners
on Monroe's parapets, but no projectiles which
their great steel-wal monsters can hurl ever
are likely to prove effective against battleships
stealing into the channel close under the
Charles promontory to make the run up the
waters leading to the capital
There is plan to build another government
fertilization, either on the cape ITSELF or, better
still, on half-submerged island lying midway
of the entrance to the Chesapeake. AS things
are to-day, foreign fleet, with pilot deserv-
ing the name on board the leading ship, could
slip into the Chesapeake under cover of haze
while the shore artilerymen, no matter how
watchful, would know naught of the movement
until there was nothing to fire at but the broad
wake of the vessels.
Fortress Monroe is bulwark of defense in
itself. but if the enemy's ships pass in the
night and steam for Washington, the chances
are they never will get there, for doughty
defenders of the nations capital are ready for
the fight farther up the channel, and they
stand within deadly easy range of the places of
passage.
AS far as Richmond and Norfolk are con-
cerned, they are cities that sit in conf
dence that no foe can come by water to their
troubling. The main ship channel at the
mouth of the James is within easy great-gun
range of the parapets of Fortress Monroe, and

double the distance would be discredited after
one pushing of the electric firing button, and
his place would be taken in a twinking by

Hawk That Wouldn't Be TRAPPED.

An interesting hawk story comes
from Concord township. Recently N
V. Kearns, a farmer, set steel trap
IN his chicken lot to catch some sly
animal that had been robbing him of
chickens.
The day after it was set an investi-
cation showed that the trap had been
carried away Nearly week passed
before he heard a great commotion
among his chickens, and going out he
saw a hawk soaring upward with a
chicken in his beak and another in
one of his claws, and from the other
claw was dangling the steel trap that
had been carried away few days be-
fore.-Ashboro Courier.
