DECORATED HIS SHIP.

Sir John Had Little Paint and = Fine
Sense Of Humor.
1t is not often the administration of
England's naval affairs is attended
with any humorous features, but on
one occasion at least an officer Of the
royal navy contributed quantity to the
archives Of the admiralty.
Once, before the days OF steel ships,
the allowance Of paint in the royal
navy was very small, and sometimes
the officers had to pay large sums in
order that their ships might maintain
a decent appearance. Sir John PhiIn-
more resorted to a funny expedlent
either to soften the heart Of the navy
board or, II that proved impossible,
to express his opinion. He painted one
side Of his yellow frigate black and
white and used the rest of the black
paint In printing on the other side in
large letters ''No more net=3F'
The navy board wrote to can ms
attention to the improperly Of his
conduct and signed themselves, as
they did officially. "Your affectionate
friends" Sir John made reply that
he could not obliterate the objection
able letters unless he were given more
paint and signed himself, In turn,
"Your afrectionate friend. John Philn-
more"
The naval authorities then called his
attention to the improperly Of the
signature, to which Sir John respond
ed, acknowledging the letter. stating
he regretted that the paint had not
been sent and ending. Il am no longer
your affectionate friend, John Philn-
more"
His frigate was permitted to retain
her original yellow, and thus the
navy board punished Sir Johns i'm
pertinence.

Falling Up Out of a Balloon.

If a man falls out of a rising aero
plane or balloon he will not 60 toward
the earth, but will continue rising into
the air for an appreciate time. If
the air machine we're stopped in its
ascent at the time it could catch the
man as he came down. If the airship
were ascending at the rate Of thirty
two feet a second the man would rise
sixteen feet before beginning to fall
toward the earth. Thus, by reducing
the speed Of its ascent, the vessel
might keep by the side OF the man
and rescue him. The reason why the
man rises is the same as the reason
for a bullets rising when shot from
a gun into the air-both the man and
the bullet are given a velocity upward,
and it takes some time for gravity to
negative that velocity. = Harper's

NAVAL GUN POINTERS.
How They Are Aided BY the TELESCOPES
SIGHT and crossbar.

Sight and Crossbar.
Perhaps very few outside Of the
service know OF the important part
that the telescope and the crossbar
sight have played in the development
Of target work. Before the recent In
PRODUCTION Of the telescope and the
crossbar the gun pointer strained bis
eyes In the impossible effort to adjust
their focus to three widely separated
objects simultaneously. the rear sight
a few inches away, the front sight
dozen feet distant from the rear one
and the target anywhere from 1900
to 1900 yards. Ordnance experts
worked over this problem and the re-
suit was the Introduction OF the tel
escopic sight and the erossbars-two
pieces OF crossed wire at the end Of
the telescope. When these "cut" on
the target the gun pointer presses his
electric button and the gun does the
rest.
1t is eminently spectacular, this
great gun battery practice. This is
from a description given to the writer
by an umpire whose station was on
one Of the ships towing the target:
Through the glasses you could see a
needle-like fash from the firing ship, a
vessel so far distant that her outline
was but an indistinct blur upon the
horizon. Having caught the flash. the
glass is dropped. the eye goes to the
stop watch, and you begin to count
one. two. three. four, five. six. seven.
eight, nine. ten, eleven-and about
then you will hear faint drone which
in the next fraction OF a second swells
into mighty roar-the roar Of an ex-
press rushing at the rate Of thirty
miles a second. With the roar come
a flying Of splinters from the target,
geyser leaping a hundred feet In air,
then another and another, as the rico
cheting shell glances from wave to

farorf boom Of the gun which had hurl-
ed the missile. "-Harper's Weekly.

SHOOTING A HORSE.
The Way to Instantly End His Misery
Should He Break . Leg.


When a horse falls IN the harness his
natural inclination is to get up again.
The shock of the fall has excited him
more or less, and in his efforts to arise
he may further injure himself as well
as the harness.
The first action should be to sit on
his head, pointing his nose upward
with one hand, to keep him from
struggling until the traces and all other
attachments TO the vehicle can be IN
fastened If two persons are present
this can be done without difficulty.
It a horse breaks his leg the most
humane as well as the most sensible.
action is to shoot him on the spot
1t is true that cases are on record
where broken legs have been success
fully treated by means of suspending
the horse in a sling and pulleys, but
the experiments in this direction have
almost invariably met with failure
To shoot suffering animal and kill
him instantly is not so simple mat
ter as it at first appears, says Country
Life In America. Many shots are
sometimes fired before death results.
How and where should a horse be
shot?
In the center of every horses fore
head little above the line Of the eyes
is a little swirl something like a cow
lick. Three inches above this swirl is
the exact spot to lodge the bullet to
insure its piercing the brain. The
bullet should not be of less than 50
caliber.
For sprains hot or cold bandages are
recommended. Fomentations promptly
applied sometimes prevent permanent
lameness. Spraining of the back
sinews is only too common and IN
less promptly and properly treated re-
suits in knuekling and other complica-
tons. Blistering, firing and even
nerying are resorted to, but it should
be borne in mind that these drastic
measures are often unnecessarily tax

cable under favorable conditions, and

Dynanitirg
Is gong on Heavily in Ken

Gays Ferry and Valley
View.

A farmer residing in Madison county
between Clay's Ferry and Valley View
has written the following to the Lexing-
ton Herald: Referring to editorials
appearing recently in the Herald regard
ing violations Of the game and fish laws
OF kentucky it might be well to call
attention to violations Of the fish laws
along the Kentucky River, in Fayette
county, from Clay's Ferry to Valley
View. According to common report in
that ineighborhood the practice Of
dynamiiing Ne river has gone on IN
interrupted fOr many years.
Ny farm extends 10 within one mile
of the river just below Clay's Ferry,
within hearing distance Of dynamite ex-

single explosions after dark in that di-
rectiOn that ! am morally certain were
caused by fish pirates OF the river
While have never been an eye witness
TO any of these depredatiOns | have
seen the direct results Of il in quantities
of dead fish floating down stream that
could have come there as the result Of
nothing else.
In a few years past there has been
every indication of the wholesale
destruction Of fish by dynamiting along
Kentucky river, from the mouth TO the
head waters and very few, if any, con-
victions have ever been recorded.
There is a lot Of this lawlessness going
on in the Bluegrass section Of the state
and it can be stopped if the officers Of
the law would only make little effort
TO apprehend the guilty persons. The
class of people who do this, are of course
Of the lowest rank and are too lazy TO
work, hence dynamite and trammel
nets are thick in Kentucky river. The
Staying of fish in this manner is nothing
short Of vandalism. While SeiTkug IS
against the law and nets are also pro-
hibited by the statutes of the state, vet
they are nothing TO compare with the
destruction Of the fish by explosives,
