REMARKABLE MEMORY OF CAT

Cats do reason, they say, and
this story goes to prove it.
In the mountain districts Of
Pennsylvania two wrens had built
their nests under the caves of an
old farm house, and there they
reared a small, interesting family.
Among the members of the
farmers household was a white
cat, and when the wrens became so
tame that they used to hop around
the plaza in search of crumbs the
| cat would lie IN wait for them,
and several times came within n
bit of catching the adult birds.
When the farmer noticed this, he
punished the cat. and she finally
learned that it was dangerous TO
fool with the wrpns.
When the baby wrcns grew
larger one of them fell out of the
nest n day, and being too weak
to run and unable to fly, lay help
less on the grass. The cat saw the
accident and a rapidly 10 seize
the bird but seeming to remember
the lesson taught her. when she
reached the helpless little thing
she ony touched il dainty with
her paw. and then lay down and
watched IT..
Presently there came n black
and yellow garden snake toward
the huttering birding. The cat
was DOING, and was awakened by
the h%uttering Of the bird.
Instantly she rose and struck at
the reptile with her paw. This
was an enemy the snake did not
appreciate, but IT was hungry,
and, darting forward. attempted
to seize the bird under the very
shelter Of the cats head. Like n
flash the cal seize the snake lust

one bite. When the farmer hap
pened along in the afternoon he
found the cat crouching in the
grass sheltering the bird, and ten

AMERICAN AWAITING GIRL

The awaiting girl is quite an
established feature of American
life. She has superseded the old
fashioned matinee girl, but is
very much more impassioned.
Her Il dream is that .he may. at

death with her begoggled idol. If
you want to find her when next
you attend an aviation meeting in
America, do not 10 X for her on the
lawn or in the grand stand. You
will not even find her in the club
house. Cross over to the hangers
that is the place for the awaiting
girl. Beautifully dressed. she will
sit for hour after hour on an old
boz. or a log of wood. or an up
turned bucket. lust near the door
way of the hangar. You may
stare at her. photograph her, do
what you will-she will not move.
The spirit of matyrdom is as strong
within her as in the Indian fakir.

family possible that "he" may let
her creep on to the machine and
go for a ride That is why she

ACCURACY OF FIRE IN
 THE AMERICAN NAVY

A Dreadnaught makes all the navies of the world without Dreadnaughts obsolete, because such. a battleship with its ten 12-inch guns, is capable of firing a broadside at all of them at once while steaming at q knots. Such a battleship, steaming as fast as any rival, bringing more guns into action than any rival, hitting an enemy at seven miles, could destroy the whole of an opposing fleet one by one, even as the pugilist would take the lighter weights one by one. But the horse trotting, fire-f1ghting American stop watch practice is also in the navy, and it was realized that if these big guns could be fired four times as fast, it would be very nearly the same as having four times as many guns or four times as many Dreadnaughts.a and also that if the skill of aim could be increased fourfold, if four shots would reach the target as compared to one in the older practice, one modern Arkan- sas or Wyoming, with 12 12-inch guns, firing four times as fast and hitting four times as often, will, for the time being at least be 16 times as effec- tive These big guns are loaded, aim ed, and fired twice in a minute. The nractice drill is only half this time, and this practice drill Is of two kinds. There is the physical act of loading the heavy gun, there is the more i1n- portant act of pointing it. Two op- posing ships are 10000 yards apart Lahout six miles) steamtng at 1s knots

SCHMTTZ PENNILESS San Francisco Ex-MayOr Stranded in Mexico, His Fortune Gone

San Francisco, May 22-Former May or Eugene Schmitz, who escaped going to State prison with Abe Ruef on graft charges through a flimsy tech nicality and is, now at liberty under heavy bonds, is reported to be strand ed and penniless in Mexico. It is said that he has dissipated his ill-gotten fortune, estimated at $500, GOO, in haz- ar6ous mining and business ventures, and now lacks money to pay for his fare home.
 When Schmitz was trying to get out of jail on bail, he obtained the assist ance of William J. Dingee. an Oakland capitalist. In return Dingee induced SchmitZ to invest many thousands of dollars in a large cement factory near Santa Cruz, in this State. This com pany came to grief when Dingee failed last year, and Schmitz lost every cent he invested in it. Then a mine at Oroville in Butte county. in which Schmitz invested considerable money, turned out a failure after showing some rich ore.
 Tn despair Schmitz then started for 'Sinaloa, Mexico, where his brother is interested in mine, but a letter has been received by one of his friends, saying this mine is also worthless and that Schmitz Is in the straits describ- ed. All he now has is the fine Schmitz home here, which, however, Is in his wife's name.

in diverging directions. The rate of cnange Of range may be 7o0 yards a hlnute. If the range is set for every 90 yards, it must be redetermined ev- cry four seconds. This is impossible. but 1t can be determined every 90 seconds and a saIvo be fired every 30 seconds. Being able to determine the range twice a minute, to fire twice a minute, the remaining part is drill in pointing or aiming, and this Is done by means of much practice with mod els To hit a target 50 feet wide and 30 feet high at 30,000 feet with a big gun, when you can cover it twice over by the point of lead pencil at arms length, is considerably harder than to hit target one inch high at 83 feet with a small gun: but 1t is much bet ter and much cheaper to fire 1000 shots with the small gun than to fire the big gun once, and when the big gun is fired four times in practice, aft CT training with small apparatus, it will do better than if firing 100 real shots without the model practice.
 In the battle practice I saw the first 12-inch range-finding shot, from distance of 14,000 yards, go clean through a 30 by 50 target; and so ac- curate and secure was the aim of all the salvos that we calmly watched the shots splash all around the floating target only 400 yards away. The fir ing end was not less impressive The team work was so perfect that the saIvos from the same ship were redi- rected one after the other almost with the ease with which child swings a garden hose to bear on a particular flower.-Harringto Emerson, in Ths Engineering Magazine for May.
