NEW AEROPLANE GUN
ADOPTED BY THE NAVY
Six-Pounder Firing Explosive
Shell Takes Place of
One-P0under.

six-pOunder aerOplane gun has been
adopted for the use of the navy, follow
ing experiments with a one-pounder in
vented by Rear Admiral Nathan c. Twin
ing, chief of the bureau of ordnance.
The gun fires a high-explosive shell in
stead Of a solid shot.
The new guns will be constructed at
the Washington navy yard. 1t is esti-
mated that the gun will fire twenty shots
a minute. Four or six of the guns
should be carried on each battleship.
The one-pounder gun, when it was
fired. proved a danger to the men operat-
ing it and to others aboard ship. The
shot being fired almost directly upward
had of course, to come down. Being
light, the wind swayed it to and fro, ana
it was impossible to ascertain just where
it would fall. Naturally If one-pound
shot fell on any of the crew it would
mean instant destruction.
Eliminates the Danger.
Rear Admiral Twining explained today
that the heavier shot would follow a
straight course in falling. and conse-
quently it would be easier to get out of
the way But with the time-fuse high
explosive shell the danger will be entirely
eliminated.
The high-explosive six-pounder shells
can be fired from different guns with diff
ferent time fuses so that when they
burst they would form a veritabie zone of
fiying fragmentary projectiles, which it
is believed would make it hot for an
aeroplane in the vicinity. The effect
would be like a charge of buckshot fired
into a flock of birds.
rests of the army's aeroplane guns are
to be made at Sandy Hook, n. j., within
the next two weeks. They are to be tried
out on big kites and balloons

llminary survey i'm the work that means
SO much for Americas.
The start was made over on the

the Southside and to East Americas in
time.
The preliminary surveys in these
three localities will consume some
little time and afford an opportunity
for careful estimates of cost in thus in
creasing the mileage of the city's sani-
tary sewer system.
Forty thousand dollars win thus
be expended in extending the sewer
system to Brooklyn Heights, East
Americas and out on the Southside. as
authorized by the voters of Americas

carried unanimously, and which means
so much for the city

for the past year7" And, apparently,
no one knew why, but some light may

Sunday, which has been In litigation
for sometime. has never been settled.
and these parties have, within the
past few days, filed notice of an appeal
to the supreme court. The jury In the
circuit court allowed them $4,000
which was not satisfactory to the de-
PENDANTS. Jones and Pasco are attor-
neys for defendants.
The cases are set for trial In the
supreme court on the 18th Of Sep
TENDER, and unless the defendants are
upheld the railroad win. no doubt, go

HIGHER BIDS

ON BOND ISSUE
CLARK SAYS HE HAS HAD MANY
INQUIRIES SINCE LAST MEET

ACCOMPANIED BY REGULAR
DEPOSIT, HIGHER THAN ANY
OF THESE TURNED IN ON TIME.

That the recent bids on the bonds
of this county did not fully represent
the standing of the county Is SHOWN

is the secretary of the board of county
commissioners, has received num-
her of inquiries from some of the most
important and leading dealers In bonds
in America, asking what price was
Maid for the bonds or if the bond
issue was let out All Of which shows
that the county is In good financial
After the bids for the bonds had
been opened, the clerk states that he
received a bid which was much bet
ter than any received by him up to
that time. This was a boni fde bid
and was accompanied by the required
deuosit. but on account of the distance
of the bidder or the mail service or
Something of the sort. 1t was delayed
so that it reached here too late to be
counted.
It is expected that the next bid for
the bonds. which will be on September
18th will be much better than the
bids received this time, as the bidders
will have discovered that the board
really means business and VIII not let
the bonds out for a song, so to speak.
