This is but a small showing for so large a disaster. Perhaps it
did not fall within the province Of the Coroner and his jury to find
out how there came to be so large a quantity of explosives massed
at that particular point. Cigarette and cigar smoking are bad habits
but neither of them is illegal, while the way in which the explosives
we're being shipped seems to have been clearly a violation of law.
Under the circumstances the verdict is hardly more satisfactory
than the old household practice of blaming all accidents on the cat.

Ut of the Coroner's inquiry into the death of a

Cases have been known where pleading was done so charmingly
that it was denied solely because to consent to it would be to end
it. Some similar danger may attend the pleas and pcrsuasions at
Albany. There is a further danger that the ladies may have taken
their grace and their arguments to the wrong place. 1t might have
been better to have had a hearing at Tammany Hall.

themselves at a police station with a statement that they had found
it. Despite the fact that they had gone to the station voluntarily
the captain ordered them to be arrested and charged with being "sus-

"when the police cease to arrest without sufficient cause" says

II will not be long before the
entire state of Florida is more or
less locally and vitality concerned
with the Meu and Religion For
ward Movement which is being
organized from a central Office in
Jacksonville. The movement is
new, and it appears to be some
thing very good and worthy of
the earnest consideration of the
the people of all castles in every
community.
Information from cities where
similar campaigns have already
gone far toward their conclusion,
tends to place the movement en-
tirely out of the class of the old
time revival. To speak plainly,
it seems not to be so much for
the purpose of saving men from
an orthodox hell, as it is to make
lite here and now what it ought
to be. The fruits of the work
are gathered on earth and at once
and uot all postponed to the fut-
ure existence and the spiritual
realm.
The methods employed in fur
thering the campaign are emf
nently practical and sane. Hys-
terra and sensationa1ism give
place to carefully considered and
deliberately executed moves that
tend to better social conditions
and to extend the influence of the
church into quarters to which it
has been rather a stranger here
tofore. The men engaged in the
work commend themselves to the
approval of the people generally.
BY its extension work the Men
and Religion Forward Movement
appears to be destined to elevate
the tone of society in general,
breed respect for law and teach
humanity to men. It's police val
ue to the state, and the added Sc
curity it gives to life and proper
ty, is therefore a very material
and practical consideration.

Star. This is the waste comput-
ed from government statistics.
1t represents extra expense OF

bad roads contrasted with the
expense of same over good roads.

New Goa Shoots Tweuty.TwO MIIss.

The biggest gun in the world
was built primarily to guard the
biggest canal in the world. This
enormous weapon of destruction
is sxteen-inch breech-loading
rifle, the newest weapon design
ed for the seacoast defeuse of the
United States and its insular
possessions, the first one COM
pleted being intended for the
Panama Canal. The total length
of the gun is 49 feet 3 inches; it
has a diameter Of 90 inches at the
breech, tapering to 70 inces at
the muzzle. If smokeless powder
is used it is estimated that full
charge of $40 pounds will throw
a projectile weighing 2,4OO pound
a distance of n miles. The pro-
jectile for the monster is S feet 4
inces long, and it is calculated
that it would go through a steel
plate 42.3 inches thick, if the
plate was placed at the muzzle.
The weight of this monster is
$50 tons. What would happen to
a vessel hit by one of its project
lies can only be surmised.
