PLATE NOT PENETRATED.
Target Hit by Davis Cannon Torpedo
Examined

Contrary to the first report brought to
Washington by the naval officers who
witnessed the recent test Of the Davis
cannon torpedo in Hampton roads, but
left before the caisson target was locked
and the damage ascertained. it appears
that the shell from the cannon failed to
penetrate the caisson's bottom plate
This plate was of a special hardened
steel, two inches thick, and although it
was not penetrated by the shot it was
broken through. Experts believe this
possibly was because the shell exploded
outside of the bottom plate. This theory
also would explain the failure of the shot
to penetrate. No great damage was done
to the caisson. although 1t sank, owing
to the straining of Its frames and con-
sequent leakage.
At later date the trial of the cannon
torpedo will be resumed. possibly with
gun of greater caliber or higher power.
Meanwhile an ordinary service White
head torpedo will be directed against the
same caisson to obtain data as to the
comparative effect Of the two weapons.

ible. and the health and comfort of the
traveller will be guarded as much as

A new hotel Is to be built in Crater
Lake National Park. No provision has yet
been made for a new hotel in the Yosem-
tie. although the present structure on the
floor of the valley is old and has few con-
veniences. The Interior Department has
expressed its willingness to grant a hotel
concession ut this point for term of
years and at reasonable rental, but no
application has been received.

Gently removed from the basement of the

dition owing to the dampness caused by

department and other officials, 1t is point

ing unsafe as to fire, and the engineers
of the War Department have said that
the walls should be lightened Of their
great weight. especially in the north
west corner of the building.
Mr.. Moore then goes on to suggest that
a suitable building be rented for the
patent office, to be used until the present
building can be thoroughly remodeled,
and he thinks it desirable when this is
accomplished that the bureaus which are
now in rented quarters. such as the geo.
logical survey, the reclamation service
and the bureau of mines, should be housed
in the present patent office building. and
a new building erected to accommodate
the constantly growing force of the office.

were charged. Before the question can
be settled a thorough study of the car

This skeleton is now being carefully re-
assembled and bids fair to prove what
has long been popularity referred to as
1.-The missing link
These two discoveries have been al
most enough to convince biologists of
the co-existence of man with glacial re-
mains. The recent researches of Le-
febre in Great Britain also point strongly
toward the existence Of human life dur
ing the glacial period These, in connec-
ton with the discovery of human imple-
ments and glacial powders in the Ana
costa dredgings. would settle the ques-
ton beyond controversy.
Well Advanced in Stone Age.
There is no question that there were
many camps of Indians along the Ana
costa flats. and implements have been
found there indicating that their makers
were well advanced in the stone age. But
the cruder earlier implements associated
with the earlieer development of man
have never been found in the surface for
nations

Louis w. Hill. president of the Great
Northern Railway Company. WHO has
been here comforting with officials of
the Interior Department regarding road
building planned by the Great Northern
to aid in developing Glacier National
Park, Mont, has been told that. while the
department cannot grant a right of way
to the railroad there will be no objection
to accepting the aid Of the railroad
company in the work OF construction.
The proposed road is to be public
highway open to all persons lawfully en-
tering the park and subject only to the
control of the United States. The Great
Northern also is to- be given permission
to construct a wagon road across the
Blackfoot Indian reservation on the same
conditions as apply in Glacier Park.

QUIT COFFEE AND TEA
What the Great German Special
list Says.

1t disappoints some people TO he told
that coffee and tea cause disease But
it is best to look squarely at facts and
set the race toward health. for that's
more fun than anything else anyhow
A Cincinnati man consulted Berlin
physician on nervous diseases and
says:
-Four years ago 1 was an habitual
coffee difnker. having used II for -
years. and being naturally of a ner-
vous temperament l became almost a
nervous wreck, greatly suffering from
insomnia. almost constantly consu-
pated and weighing ONLY 12s pounds.
Il consulted physicians and took
medicine all the time. but had no re-
lief. About three and half years ago
1 went abroad and while in Berlin
heard frequently of great physician,
Prof Mendel, an authority on nervous
trouble. so l resolved to consult him.
Prof Mendel surprised me very
much by asking at once III l was
coffee drinker. and on my telling him
used ii two or three times day he
said. 1T is poison After carefully ex-
nothing the matter with me whatever
but what could be entirely cured IN
30 days by letting coffee and other
stimulants alone and dieting
II had hard time following his ad-
vice. I did not know what to do until
came home and told my wife. who got
some Postum. We tried it. but at first
did not like il. then we went over the
on the package together
and found we had not boiled IL long
enough.
That was the beginning of the end
of my trouble for the Postum was de-
licious after that and | drank IL regu-
larly and ii helped from the start.
In very short time began TO feel
much better. and in the last three
years | haven't been absent from bust
ness one hour on account of i'll health.
for my health is fine now. l have
good appetite. sleep well and weigh
IFS pounds.
Any nervous person who drinks cof-
fee or tea will feel better from a ten

scientists for long time that the ap-
pearance of man on the planet was really
at much earlier period than the date
which has usually been accepted Geolo-
gists aud ethnologists for long time
agreed that there was no evidence Of hu-
man life on the earth dating as far back
as the glacial period. This belief was
shaken at different times when sue
cessive discoveries made il appear that
eral glacial periods. and that the ice cap
points at different times. One of the lat
OF the earth had not extended farther
where il crossed the Delaware being To-
Gated near Port Jervis.
Ice Cap Farther South.
This belief in the light of these later
discoveries may be proved to be entirely
erroneous. Glacial marked powders.
should any be dug up by the Anacostia
dredgers, would establish the penetration
of the ice cap farther south than 1t was
ever thought to extend.
As to the greater age of man. belief in
the accuracy Of the old geology. that
placed man exclusively in the quater-
nary period, was first shaken by the dis
coyerv of the now famous Nuremberg
skull i'm Germany and within the past
two years by the even more important
Chappel-aux-Saints skeleton in France
