BOMB WITH PECULIAR TAIL
stranee Projeetile Used in New Ger.
!, Z man Siege Gun-Aid in Proper
:; i:.:; Direction of Flight ":,;,f;

Berlin.-Somes interesting expert
ments have recently been carried out
BY the German military authorities at
Doberitz with a. new type Of Siege
gun constructed BY the Krupps.} &C;
cording to present "siege technique"
the artillery of an attacking army
has to cease bombarding the enemys
intrenchments as soon as the storm
ing infantry gets to close quarters
otherwise the stormers are likely to
be shot down by their own guns from
the rear. The new gun has been
devised to overcome this difficulty.
It has an extremely narrow, un'
riffed bore, and is of very light con-
struction, easily capable of being car
ried by two men, and is intended to
be carried in the front lines OF the
advancing infantry. It's most re-
markable feature is it's projectile,
which consists of a round bomb OF
great diameter loaded with a very
powerful explosive mixture. The bomb
is of far greater diameter than the
bore of the gun which throws 1t, and
is provided with a long stick-like tail
which is loaded into the barrel OF
the gun, it's lower end, which is en-
larged to wad or pistol-like FORM
resting on the gun-charge at the bot
tom of the barrel. The bomb itself
merely lies on the gun muzzle quite
outside the bore itself.
On being fired, the trailing STICK
like tail serves to keep the bomb in
it's proper direction of fight, and only
detaches itself and falls to earth
after certain distance has been COW
cred, leaving the bomb to pursue its
course alone. The experiments have
shown that reasonable precision can
be obtained with the. new missile up
to a distance of geo to 400 yards, and
a bomb, which, owing to it's large con-
tent capacity, is capable of great de,
struction, serves not only to prevent
the defenders emerging from their
cover, but also to make great breaches
in their intrenchments or fortthca
tons.

A Safe Proceeding.

Lord Lyons, English minister at
Washington during the war between
the states and afterward ambassador
to France, was q diplomatist to the
core. He was exceedingly tactful IN
action and had the rare art Of keeping
his own counsel When Sir Edward
Blount called upon him one day at
the embassy in Paris he found that a
well known journalist had preceded
him. The visitor was laying down the
law in loud tone, and when, after his
departure, Sir Edward was received
he took the liberty of saying:
'N1ay I be allowed to ask If it Is
quite wise to discuss state secrets In
such loud tone? I heard every word
that was said, my lord, as I sat in the
anteroom."
"Ah!' said Lord Lyons. "But even
then you could not hear what I said,
for I said nothing"

A Zip ON CHECKS.
advice BY Woman Who Always Fills
Out the Stub First.

l. Out the Stub First.
/ The west side woman was paying
with check for some articles she had
bought at department store, and she
was carefully filing in the stub Of her
check book first. "Oh, don't stop for
that" urged her shopping companion:
who was in hurry. "You can do that
when you get home"
Il Unmoved, the west side woman fin
tshed the stub with special care, then
Wrote the check, gave it to the sales
man and said to her impatient friend:
lsBefore / was married I took care CT
some Of my fathers accounts. The
.Ifrst time he ever asked me to FIJI out
a set Of blink checks for him so he
could sign them he told me: 'One rule
you must always obserye-write the
stub first. Make q VOW to yourself,
hike unto the VOW of Jephthah, that
You WILL never write a check until the
stub is fired. II for any reason you
should fail later to write the check It
would be simple matter to cancel
the stub, but If you write check and
leave the stub blank you open the
door to hundred chances Of mistake.
No ones memory can be trusted on
that subject. Never try to trust yours.
Let the law Of "the stub first" be to
you as the Jaw Of the Medes and the
;Persians.' / have always found 1t
perfectly easy to follow that rule, ana
that is one reason I have bank ac-
count today. Ny husband is never
afraid 1 will make him any trouble
with it."-New York Press.

gov avenue, who is blind, was ap-
pealed to for a decision. To CROWD
in Harry Morris grocery store at
Glasgow avenue and Madison street
the question was settled. i;
O'Brien, 81 years old, has been
blind for nearly two years. He has
been smoker for forty years. He
says he gets as much enjoyment out
of his pipe as eyer he did when he
could see the smoke.
Thomas Phillips Of 1887 Madison
street, and Thomas Kenney of 1880
Glasgow avenue, saw O'Brien light a
pipe Of tobacco and apparently enjoy
himself. Kenney said he had seen In
a magazine where there was no salts
faction or effects resultant from smok-
ing unless the smoker could see the
smoke. Phillips said that he did not
believe any such statement. O'Brlen
said there was not the slightest diff
ference in the taste Of his favorite
brand before and after he lost his
sight. A test was made as to O'Brien's
ability to taste. O'Brien was given a
cigar made Of the same class Of to-
baccn and of the same shape as his
favorite cigar. Promptly the blind
smoker tossed the substitute on the
floor and asked that he be given one
of his fayorites. Again the test YVES
made by the substitution Of similar
cigar, and even again, but O'Brien
was not fooled. AS soon as he light.
ed the one he had first called for
he settled back with satisfied air
and joined in the laughter at the at
tempted joke.

A QUEER SORT OF STRIKE

ONE of the queerest walkouts was that of
~ the reporters of the parliamentary de-
bates in the German Reichstag. During
session of that body one day about two years
ago a deputy named Groeber in a speech
made declaration that for some reason or
other caused the members of the press gal
lery to exclaim, "Oh! OH" Whereat Herr
GrOeber, much angered, called them herd
of swine"
In due course the reporters demanded an
apology, and, this being refused them, they
left the press gallery in body, with the
statement that they would return when ade-
quate reparation was made for the injury
done their amour brobre, and not before.
The apology was made.
While the action of the reporters could
not, of course, have any effect upon the
mere fact of the Parliament's assembling, it
had most serious effect in that it prevented
members from obtaining their usual world
audience" as German speakers love to call
it. Furthermore, the strike of the reporters
complicated matters, inasmuch as it caused
the imperial chancellor to defer the delivery
of an important speech upon the subject of
the Empires foreign affairs. In short, this
little strike on the part of the press gallery
parliamentary machine of Germany during
the brief period it lasted.
This German walkout was not the only
one of its kind, however. In a similar man.
ner the pressmen of Sydney caused consider
able trouble and annoyance to members of
the New South Wales Parliament. These
reporters had been severely criticized by rea-
son of the manner in which they had re-
ported the speeches of number of members,
its being contended by the latter that the
pressmen had taken liberties with their
speeches.
In short time the relations between the
pressnen and the members became so
strained that hostilities ensued. The re-
porters took their revenge by reporting the
members speeches exactly in the form they
were delivered. Accordingly, the speech of
one of the members read something like this:
1.-THE reporters-the reporters not
to-the reporters ought not to be the ones to
say what should be left -omitted-but
the member can only judge of what ISIS
-er-important. AS las my speeches.
as the reports-as what l say is reported
sometimes-no one-nobody can under
stand from the reports-what it is-what I
mean. So it strikes met has struck me
sometimes certain matters-things
that are of importance-are sometimes left
out-omitted.

THE DIXIE
Continued from page 9

as Incorporated in her have, with the ex-
ception of scattered items of minor impOr-
lance, been projected and effected entirely
by the enlisted personnel under the super
vision of their own officers; and, moreover,
they have been developed CONFIDENTLY with
and in addition to routine cruising duties,
which have often included those of trans
port, as well as of a tender. Sixty ports in
fifty weeks is the cruising record. Her activ-
tiles have included transporting fleet naval
brigades to Washington, towing submarines
IN midwinter in the ATLANTIC, transporting the
Nicaragua expeditionary force to Panama,
and subsisting the crew of the Half Moon
during the Hudson-Fulton Celebration.
Of the thousands of people who visited
the little Half Moon, who gazed in wonder
at her tiny Dutch oven, wherein hung an
equally tiny kettle, how many knew, or
could have known, that the stout old sea
chests of piratical appearance contained
nothing more romantic than United States
navy mess-gear, or that the three square
meals for her crew of husky Dutch sailors
from the Utrecht we're provided and snug
gled on board under cover of darkness from
the Dixie, or that the Dutch flag carried so
proudly in the many street parades had been
ing, the Half Moon was simply annexed to
the torpedo fleet.
On the Atlantic Coast, where vessels are
never far removed from the great centers of
food and material supply, the tremendous
military asset embodied in the mobile base
is somewhat obscured. The fact that there
is actually existent-not projected or plan
ned, but existent-a vessel that can subsist
for protracted periods an organization num-
bering sixteen hundred men, and of more
than two hundred and fifty thousand horse
power, is somewhat hard to grasp. 1t has
Dixie is the most useful auxiliary, not only
in our own navy, but in any navy.
