weight Of the powder charge Will be
about 450 pounds. The designed muz-
zle energy of the new weapon is 65.600
foot tons.
Example Is Appalling.
To translate this into palmer Eng
lish and to afford some idea of what
this power means. let the reader sup
pose the 10000 tons of the battleship
Connecticut emplaced on top of the
Lusitania. whose displacement is 32.500
tons. and the biggest of the Fall River
steamboats, superimposed on top of all.
Next try to conceive OF the united
weight of the three and the power that
would be required to lift them. The
muZzle energy of this gun exerted at
the moment of discharge is so tremen-
dous that 1t would be able to lift all
three vessels one foot.
The mechanism of the carriage must
in the fraction of a second take up and
absorb shock equal to that of a
heavy engine and five Pullman coaches
running at speed Of seventy miles an
hour and brought to a sudden stop-a
stop as sudden as though such train
had smashed into a stone wall. On
leaving the muzzle of the gun the shell
has an energy equivalent to that Of 4
train or cars weighing $50 tons and
running at sixty miles an hour.
This energy is sufficient to send the
projectile through twenty-five and one
half inches Of the hardest of steel ar
NOR at the muzzle. while at range
OF 5000 yards the projectile. moving
at the rate of 2.235 feet per second.
can pierce eighteen and one-half inches
of steel armor at normal impact
Life Is Seventy Rounds.
One of the ordnance experts of the
navy made some calculations which
go to show that if one of these new
fourteen inch rifles was constantly
submitted to excessive pressure. such
as might obtain in a hot action. the
gun could not last more than seventy
rounds.
The length of the gun is a fraction
more than 80 feet-641 inches. to be
exact Although the muzzle velocity
Of the projectile is 1900 feet a second.
the ordnance experts have figured that
1t requires one-tenth of a second for
the shell to leave the gun. this because
Of the fact that the shell moves from
zero to 2.600 feet and that the mean
velocity must be taken This mean
being one-tenth Of second. the actual
gas life Of this $4,000 weapon Is
shown to be only seven seconds.
Judging from the performance Of the
twelve inch guns. these greater weap-
ons should be able to deliver three
shots minute. If all ten guns Of the
projected Dreadnought should be
brought into action and should main
tain that rapidity of fire for one hour

In the hour would reach the enormous
sum of $2.520OO0 or about one-fourth
of the vessels entire cost.

of themselves. MT. Jones of Maricopa opposed the amendment on the ground that times might come when the leg islature would be honestly divided and when its only course would be to refer the matter to the people. Still MT. Ellinwood replied that with his amendment the people could take care of themselves.
 1t Was Not Their Funeral.
 Judge Doe at this point said that for the reason that the republican members were opposed to the meas ure as whole and as to each of its parts, and recognizing the futility of the proceedings in which the conven- ton was engaged, they should be ab- solved of the duty of voting on this question.
 Instantly MT. EllinwOod was on his feet He cried: Here is what l mean. This is the position the legis- lature will take. It will endeavor to shift the responsibility, just as the re- publicans are doing" This timely il- lustrauon of the disposition of human nature to evade responsibility was ad- vantageous to the amendment, which carried by a vote of 32 to 20.

Dandruff Means Badness

Wise people say there is nothing sure in this world but death and taxes.
 But that dandruff means badness later on is just as sure as either death or taxes, and every physician knows it.
 Dandruff is caused by a germ-a vicious. persistent, tenacious germ that up to the discovery of one of the worlds greatest scientists, was SUD- posed to be unkillable That discov- cry is called Parisian Sage and A. l.. Boehmer, the druggist, who is the agent in Phoenix, guarantees it to kill every dandruff germ and remove all traces of dandruff in two weeks or money back.
 But Parisian Sage is more than a dandruff killer; it is guaranteed to stop falling hair, itching of the scalp and all diseases of the hair and scalp
 It contains just enough of sage properly combined with. other ingredi- ents to make any woman's or mans hair grow luxuriantly. It makes ev- erybOdy's harsh, lusterless hair change to soft, lustrous, and beautiful hair ASL.

STATEHOOD FIRST.
Why Mr. Cooper Was Opposed to Di-
 rect Legislation.

When the committees substitute
 was taken up in the whole committee in the morning. MT. Cooper obtained
 leave to state why he should oppose
 it. He was aware that he was not
 on the popular side of the question,
 but he was not seeking popularity, but statehood He was in favor of the fullest and broadest measure giving
 the people the right to govern them
 selves, but that was not the question which had been submitted to Arizona. From the earliest times there had been a sincere desire for statehood. and the desire year by year had grown stronger. But if this thing
 goes on, he said, statehood will be certainly delayed and probably de- feated. With such information as we have at hand, he said, the. course now being pursued is wildly reckless. Di- rect legislation is not necessary now. The territory has struggled along without it for sixty years. Why, he asked, jeopardize our chances now, when we can have a later opportu- nity In conclusion he uttered the paraphrase, Seek ye first statehood and all these things will be added"
 MT Wood of Yavapsi replied to the addresses which the republican mem bers had made. and particularly toI the suggestion of Judge Doe the day before that the members who were under pledges to support direct legis- lation, in view of the danger of the defeat of statehood. try to secure from their constituents a release from those pledges MT. Wood read a letter from the treasurer of his county, saying that the democrats in Yavapai had the fullest confidence in their dele gates and believed that they would stand by their pledges.
 MT. Wood found hope also in rec ollection of an utterance by President Taft when he visited Prescott a year

A Drink for a Divorce.

Washington, May 2.-"The late
Judge Bob Taylor of Texas once met
woman in the road as he was riding
on horseback to Delta County TO hold
court" said F. H. Burns, Houston
county politician at the capital today.
"She had a jug of water, and the
Judge was thirsty. Being man with
a CHEEKY word for everyone, he
stopped her.
d" My dear madam, he said, smil-
ing, if you will give me drink OF
water from your jug, when you want
a divorce from your husband | will
see that il costs you nothing.
Are you lawyer inquired the
woman, handing him the jug.
''The Judge explained who heswas,
and, waving farewell, departed.
The very next morning the woman
showed up in the courtroom and
asked for him. She had been separat-
ed from her husband and the Judge
had put an idea into her head. Judge
Taylor was game. He procured a
lawyer at his own expense.

Novel Cement House.

In Belfast, Me-, there is a house,
built by Frank Hoag, believed by the
builder and citizens of that place to
be the only one Of the kind on earth,
Aside from the ballasting and dig
ging for the cellar, the house was
built by Mr.. Hoag himself. The en-
tire outside is of cement, the mixing
of the component parts being under
taken after long study of the -stib-
iect, Mr.. Hoag finished the inside
of the house first. This being done,
he lathed the whole outside with wire
screen stuff, such as is used for fenc-
ing chicken pens. This was firmly
fastened. The studding was close,
and when the wire was on it gave a
rigid surface on sides, ends and the
slopes of the roof.
Over this layer of wire he spread a
first coat of cement. 1t was well
pressed on, so that it oozed through
the meshes of the wire for a clinch-
ing hold. When the first coating was
thoroughly set another and heavier
one was spread over the surface.
Single effects were fashioned on the
gables and on the roof the cement
was shaped and lined to give an APP
pearance of Stating. Then over the
whole outside was laid finishing
veneer of cement paint.
The home is as tight as bottle.
1t is impervious to heat or cold, or
leak Of rain; and, as its foundation is
solid ledge, it can defy the frost to
wrestle with it. Mr.. Hoag says the
cost of building was about the same
as wooden construction would have
been, but he says there will be no
great number of repairs. Boston
