Even Cannon Droop.

Among the problems with which
army and navy engineers have to deal
nowadays is that Of the dropping of
the muzzles of excessively long guns
under the stress of their own weight.
Experiments have shown that wire
wound guns Of Pinch caliber and 90
feet length droop at the muzzle about
Az minutes of arc, while built-up
solid guns of the same size droop
about "a minutes. Differences OF
temperature in the body of the gun
also cause bendings, which may eth
er increase the droop at the muzzle
or counterfeit it, according as it is the
upper or under part Of the gun that
has the higher temperature. In con-
sequence, projectiles on leaving a gun
have a wabbly motion, continuing UT
to 500 yards and probably more.

Three young men came near
being run over by an engine at
the Main street crossing Satur.
day. The eastbound w%ayfreight
was just pulling out and at the
same time time the switch en-
CINE was also going east, both
moving slowly. The young men
ran across in front of the
freight and ia front of the switch
enginge. Only the fact that En-
gineer Grove always cuts off the
power and allows his engine to
run dead and that he was able to
stop his engine quickly saved
the boys.
A railroad man who has passed
back and forth through Milbank
the past twenty-five years, re-
marked to a citizen last Satur-
day that his train nearly ran
down a seven year-old girl at the
Fourth street crossing Friday,
and that while he was waiting
for orders, during twenty
minutes ne watched people pass
back and forth, eighteen children
and grown'ups took the pains to
climb up and walk over the via
duct, while only five walked an
der it. He wondered why it was
that after the viaduct had
been put IN for the safety of the
public that they would insist on
working harder to climb over it
than walk through it.
