INVENTOR OF CAMERA.
Lieut.. Commander Cleland Davis Dis
tinguishes Himself.

Lieut.. Commander Cleland Davis.
u. S. N. at present on duty as exec
utiye officer of the Mississippi, is
the inventor of camera attachment
for big guns, which will aid in the
placing of shots. In the firing Of eight
and twelve-ineh rifles everything de-
ponds upon "spotting."
This is done from the military
mast. The spotting officers, as the
shells fall, mentally note the appar-
ent distance between the point where
the falling projectile splashes to the
target, whether a ship of the enemy
or target raft. What to the eye
appears an inch would denote that
the distance was so many yards short
of or beyond the target.
Lieutenant Commander Davis s
invention" says a Herald CORES
pendent, docs something that al
most taxes credulity. despite the
great advance that has been made
in photography in recent years.
After the gun has been fired and at
the instant that the geyser of water
caused by the falling shell is seen
TO shooot high into the air the camera
attachment is snapped and the pic
ture taken. 1t is developed in four
teen seconds. The negative, which
is made on plate practically an inch
square, is then used by the spoilers
to determine whether the gun should
be elevated or lowered or aimed ia
the right or left Of the target on the
next shot in order to make hit.

WILL NOT BID ON BATTLESHIPS
All Private Plants To Refuse Esti-
timates, lntimates Post.

President w. A. Post, of the New
port News Shipbuilding and Drydock
Company, announced a dav or two
ago that on account of the eight-hour
restriction of the recent naval act
his company would not bid for either
of the great battleships authorized
by Congress in March.
President Post intimated that he
believed all of the private shipbuilding
plants would refuse to submit bids
for the same reason. According to
President Post, the law authorizing
the construction of the battleships
prvides that if the private builder
violates any provision of the eight
hour law the appropriation shall be
withheld. This is the feature to
which the Newport News company
objects particularly.
Until yesterday it had been under
stood that the Newport News COM
company confidently expected to build
at least one of the new ships and
that the entire force of the yard
would be put on an eight-hour day
basis.

THIN ARMOR USELESS
Naval Designers Learning Valuable
Lessons From Recent Tests on
San Marcos.

Lessons of great value to naval de-
signers daily are being drawn from
the reports that are coming into the
Navy Department of the results of
the recent destructive firing upon the
San Marcos, which was once the bat
tleship Texas. One Of the most i'm
portant conclusions reached is that il
is practically impossible to protect
the entire hull of battleship against
attack by big guns.
Heretofore it has been customary
to place the thickest armor over the
vitals of the ship and to give a less
degree of protection to the ends of the
vessel by much thinner armor. This
was known as the all-armored ship
design. The San Marcos tests have
shown that this thin armor is practi-
cally useless that everyone of the big
shells easily penetrated the thin
armor and exploded within the ship.
Therefore the designers have con-
cluded to abandon the attempt to
cover the entire hull with armor, be-
cause the weight of the heavy armor
IL prohibitive. Instead the ends of
the hull will be left unarmored and
the weight of the thin armor thus
saved will be added to the present
armor belts and classmates over the
vitals and batteries, which have been
shown to be in need of considerable
reinforcement to keep out the latest
type of 12-inch armor-piercing shells.

having under 5000 population. The
law provides that such cities may
hold all elections in one central poll

lot boxes for each ward, Next year
there will be three elections. munici-
pal, primary and general election
and under the old system this would
have been quite an expense to the
city. With six wards the holding
of elections has been rather expen-
slve for the city but under the law
it will amount to little over on e

An Electrical Storm

A severe electrical storm swept
over the country lying east of IRON
River Monday morning, doing large
amount of damage to the telephone
lines in that vicinity. The worst of
the storm struck section between
Iron River and Slow Bridge, and for
a distance of over half a mile every
telephone pole along the line had
been struck and most of them were
SO badly splintered that they will
have to be replaced. People living
in that section say that it was the
worst electrical storm that they have
ever experienced.

Electric Road from Superior
to Bayfield, County
Would Touch Port Wing and
Cornucopia and
Other Points.

The following article taken from
the Superior Department of the Du-
luth News Tribune will be of interest
to people in this locality.
Plans are on foot for the building
of an electric line between Superior
and Bayfield,. The line will be an
extension of the city street railway if
present plans are carried out. The
extension will run from Allouez to
Itasca, thence to the head of Wis
consin point. Bridges will be nee
cessary across Bardon river, the Pop
lar, Middle river, Amnicon and the
Brule. The settlement at Port Wing
and Cornucopia will be tapped and
one of the principal sources of revenue
will be the fruit and garden products
of the lake shore and of the Bayfield,
peninsula as we'll as of the Apostle
Islands. Bayfield, people are push
ing the project and as starter have
have written the following letter to
the street railway people:
1t has occurred to us here that
an electric railway from your city to
this place would prove paying in
vestment. This territory is develop
ing rapidly into fruit raising country
and, at present has no direct way of
getting its products to the markets of
Superior and Duluth. A route be-
tween these towns would traverse a
section of the country now being fast
populated with farmers, and could
reach all the villages along the way.
The Fruit Grow ers' and Shippers as
ISOLATION report that SO car loads of
Strawberries and large number of
crates of lcherries and currants were
shipped from Bayfield, this season,
and it was their first real season of
commercialized fruit growing.
* Our apple orchards are now near
ing the five year age, and next sea-
son should produce fairly good crop.
This added to our berry shipments
woslldsmake nice business for the
company. We believe it would pay
you to investigate the possibilities for
road, and we would be pleased
to have your representatives visit this
section, and we guarantee you that
bayfield, citizens will cooperate with
you in every respect to make the
project success.
We would be glad to take the
matter up with you further, and any
information at our command we will
furnish cheerfully. Right-of-way can
easily be obtained.
