CHAPTER VII.
The Machine Skids.

As the three friends left Dick and re-
turned to the house they were forced to
walk single file. Emil walked in front
and lectured learnedly on the nerves. As
he progressed in distance he also en-
larged on his subject. In q short time he
had deserted the merely physical at
tributes of the nerves. and dwelt lovingly
on the effect which social evolution had
had on them: pointing out that the print
tive man, who knew not that he had
nerves. was the only man who found un-
diluted pleasure In them. showing that
even the moderate development from saw
agery to barbarism had started the nerves
to jangling, while civilization had goaded
them to such a state Of representative
ness that simple conservatism required
one to look on insanity as q natural and
useful safety valve.
Ivan. who walked next. glanced from
time to time at the broad shoulders of the
plump Emil. and marveled that civilized
nerves should under any circumstances

vironment But VANS mind was busy

her admiringly. How seldom it Is that

mother tongue! Now. she did not use one
word of profanity. and yet she brought
out all its rich effects.
Suddenly the hilarious JOY of his after
moons adventures swept over him ana
he broke into a peal OF laughter For

President J. W. Kline of the Blacksmiths'

he was in close touch with Chicago, and

declared, however. he did not believe

injured recently in Cumberland, Md, by
an elevator while examining a shaft, in
the Third National Bank building, hold
little hope for his recovery. His condition
is gradually sinking. and yesterday it
was necessary to call a surgeon from
Baltimore. Another operation will prob

The Atlantic feet is accomplishing much
in the solution of problems of war by

vices to the Navy Department These
exercises will determine. primarily. the
effectiveness of long-range firing.
BATTLES of the future will be fought at
long range. between maximum and
minimum of 1900 and 5000 yards. and
the present practice is expected to yield
much valuable information as to the
efficiency of the gun crews and as TO how
far the guns of various caliber can be
depended upon To hit with any degree of
accuracy.
At the close of each day Rear Admiral
Hugo Osterhaus sends wireless mes

ing that he has completed problem A

To Protect Sailors Ears.
An exhaustive study is being made by
the Medical Corps of the navy to devise
means of protecting the hearing of Amer
lean sailors from the disastrous effects
of gunfire. Ear safeguards used in for
eign navies are being compared with SIM
liar devices now supplied American sea-
men. and ii IS expected that protector
shortly will be evolved that will ade
quately resist the terrific conclusion of
the big guns. The subject is being inves-
ti2ated by DR.. f. NJ. Shipp of the Naval
Medical Corps.
The ear protectors now used are filled
with cotton. The great shock from one
of the mammoth guns is likely to rup
ture an ear drum and produce deafness

Also it is feared that the constant fir
