SALVAGE SHOT FROM THE SEA
esanpsn on English Coast Earn Money
BY sslIIns Old Prejsctitss
TO the Admiralty. F..

Shot picking is the art" Of retriev-
ing shot and shell from the bottom Of
the sea. In order to practice this
professiO nowadays a man must be
in possession Of a boat, plenty Of cour-
age and license.
Target practice is carried on almost
every day at Portsmouth, England
and the admiralty are willing TO pay
good price for shells which are re.
covered from sand banks and shallow
water.
Shot pickers go out to sea in boats,
watch the firing intently while ii is in
progress, and then, as soon as the last
shot has settled in the water, dis
perse in various directions in order
to discover the shells.
These are located by means OF a
long line weighted with lead, which
has a small buoy fixed at one end
This end is thrown overheard, and the
boat is rowed slowly in a semiciycle
The weighted line drags over the
sand beneath the water and catches
against any shell that is projecting
above the sand. A thin, firm pole is
then lowered, so that It makes a clean
line from the shot to the side of the
boat, and, while this is held In. place
by one man, pick n thrust down by
another TO draw the projecting shot
from the sand beneath the water.

DICTIONARY MAKERS At FAULT
Some Notable slunders, With ,Eis
phantine Efforts at Wit, Have
Seen Put on Record.

DR.. johnson perpetrated many jokes
In his dictionary, but among his most
famous blunders was his definition Of
"pastern" as the knee OF . horse"
The dictionary makers often took
occasion to make their definitions hit
their enemies. Wesley deemed Meth,
odist" as Zone that Hveth According ID
the method laid down In the Bible. "
Or. Johnson defined oats az p grain
which In England 70 generally Given
to horses. but in Scotland supports
the people," He defined "pensioner"
as "a slave OF state, hired by a sti.
pend to obey his master" which def.
milton was made much OF by the doc
tors enemies when he himself was
awarded a pension.
Bailey's dictionary defined the Lo-
riot or Golden Oriole as "a bird that,
being looked upon by one who has the
yellow jaundlce, cures the person and
dies himself" Fenning, who was the
next dictionary maker, was afraid of
this, and merely said 'Loriot, a kind
OF bird" But one of the best bits of
transformation was given in the die
tionary Of Edward Philips, who in
one place declared that "a gallon is
measure containing two quarts" and
in another place declared "a quaver
is a measure Of time in music, being
the half of a crochet, as a crochet is
the half of a quaver," which leaves
the subject as clear as mud.

MANY of the delegates to the
Baltimore convention became
oisgusted with the prolonged
proceedings and threatened to
leave-their cash was running
low, and they could not stand
the strain on their pockets.
However, a contribution from a
generous donor served to tide
them over, so that assertions
were unnecessary.

SEEK EVER TO KEEP FRIEND
Worth Careful Nurturing, Since Moth
Ing on Earth Can Be More
Beautiful.

In an article in the Woman's Home
come to those who live away from
great centers of population there ap-
peared the following sound advice:
1--WE are idly inclined to think that a
real friendship, once begun, ought to
survive of it's own vitality; but, alas!
all beauty in this world, from a rose
slip to a human soul, needs nurture.
NietZsche speaks very scornfully OF
those who fancy they dare show them
selves as they are TO their friends. For
your friends he advised, wear every
adornment.' 1t is we'll worth while to
save the highest cheer, the brightest
thoughts, the gentlest attentions, for
the friends. One should always keep
some impersonal topics of converse
ton ready, so that your thoughts to-
gether should net huddle down to the
sordid atmosphere OF narrow spaces.
Be not only the sunshine to your
friend, but be q broad outlook and q
wide view! Love must have space and
air to thrive in. 5-&.---
Human life offers us nothing else
SO beautiful as real friendship; not
love, not prosperity, not fame, are so
fair, so precious. So foster IT.! Let no
distrust, no absence, no difference OF
environment, dim it's luster. Let death
itself be spowerless to rob you OF its
sweetness! Never break It; never lose
Il; It Is the: sweetest touch Of mortal

are past history. Both were
exciting, both long drawn out,
and both were far from adjust

existing in the respective
parties. They will undoubtedly

The Deadlock Broken.

After a week of unusual
struggle, the democratic national
convention on the 10th ballot
nominated Hon. Woodrow Wilson
of New Jersey as its candi-
date for president. But few
political conventions in the
history of the country have been
prolonged to such an extent, and
seldom has the struggle for a
standard bearer been carried
through so many hours of ballot
ing with such an apparent dead
lock.
In the memorable struggle
of 1880, when the Grant and
Blaine forces were arraigned
against each other, sc ballots
were taken, Grants delegates
standing solidly for him from
first TO last, and the Blaine
delegates equally determined.
On the 35th ballot, however,
Garfield, who had from the start
received one vote, jumped to so
votes, and the next ballot saw
him with 800, or clear majority
of the vote in the convention.
General Grants 305 delegates
stood by him to the last ballot.
The democratic convention of
1860 was another instance of a
long drawn out contest. Indeed
the convention of that year
which assembled at Charleston
was unable to make any selec.
ton. After IS ballots had been
taken, the result being 1924 votes
for Stephen A. Douglas, while
-202 were necessary for choice,
the convention adjourned to
meet at Baltimore the next
month at which time Mr..
Douglas was nominated.
Also at the democratic conven-
ton of 1852 40 ballots were
necessary to nominate Franklin
Pierce, who at the following
election defeated Gen. Winfield
Scott, the wing candidate.
While the republican conven
ton nominated with unanimitv
General Grant in 1868, their
democratic rivals balloted %
times before deciding on Horatio
Seymour as their standard
bearer.
These extended contests, how
ever have beer the exception
rather than the rule in the
history of political conventions.
In a great majority of cases the
assembling of the convention
seemed to be but for the pur-
pose of ratifying the selection
already made.

Arrests Yet.
palladium Specially

EATON, O.. March 25-The police
here raided the Eagle Cigar store this
morning and confiscated 231 bottles
OF beer. The cigar store is said to be
owned by George johnson. although
there 10 some doubt as to whom the
store belongs. No arrests have been
made. a. yet. but it is likely the prose-
cutting attorney will file charges
against johnson and others this after
noon or tomorrow. The cases will be
heard in city court Friday by Mayor
George Kelley. Those arrested will be
with violating the county local
option law.
The cigar store has been under the
surveillance of the police here for
some time as 1t was thought that John
son was bootlegging. This morning the
police, armed with a warrant sworn
out by J. Warren Smith. raided the
place and found the bottled beer in
the rear of the living apartments of
Johnson, which is above the cigar
store. The liquor was confiscated.
This store was raided some time ago
but as the evidence the authorities Sc
cured was not tangible no arrests were
made.

BUSINESS GALORE
UP THIS MORNING
Numerous Improvements in
the City Considered by
the Board.

Streets, alleys and sidewalks were
by the board of works this morning
South Sixteenth, if improved at all,
will be improved as petitioned for by
the property owners some time ago,
and the sidewalks on the east side will
be made to the property line, irres-
pective of trees.
A resolution for a cement sidewalk
on South Tenth street from e to F
street was adopted.
West Main street from, Fifth to
Eighth street will be improved by a
resolution passed this morning The
property owners are to choose between
brick and macadam street paving. The
cost OF the city. including a storm sew
er, will be about $4,000 The improve
ment will cost about $16,oQ0 if the
street is bricked, and about $1O,4O0 if
macadam roadway is made. This does
not include the city's share of the
cost.
The petition asking for cement side
walks, curbs, and cutters on North
Fourth street from A to y streets, was
kiven recognition, a resolution for
this improvement being passed. A ma
jority of the owners favor this im-
prOvement, but one widow who has a
full length lot to pay for, objects to
the cost. Ten days are given in which
to file a remonstrance.
The board took under advisement
the vacation of An alley running north
from Laurel street which is desired
closed by the two property owners on
each side.
The board decided to build the arch
at the Glen entrance on Main street,
and ordered city engineer Charles to
prepare plans for the same this morn
ing.
A bid on a pair of Howe ten ton ball
bearing scales, to cost 5000 exclusive

BOARD WANTS ALL
WIRES IN TUNNELS
Committee Is Appointed To-
day to See If Project
Is Feasible.

Underground wire tunnels in the
business district of the city, from
South E to North and from the river
east to Sixteenth street. will be consid-
cred by committee appointed at the
meeting of tn board of works this
morning. The committee consists Of
the board of works, Superintendent OF
light plant, N III. Johnson and City
Attorney Gardner The committee ID
to report as soon as the legal points
involved and other details can be con-
sidered.
The motion to appoint the commit
tee was made BY the mayor and result
ed from a statement by Supt John
son, that the present ordinance, fixing
the responsibility for loss of life and
property from live wires, was unjust.
He stated that under the joint pole
agreement, wire falling across a
lower wire and becoming. charged,
causing loss of life or damage, the
owner of the lower wire must pay the
penalty, although his line might be
+ in perfect condition. This is illustrated
by the killing of horse on the West
Side some months ago, when a tele-
phone wire falling across a L., Fl. & p.
wire caused the death Of horse. The
power company had to pay almost the
entire amount of damages to the own
er of the horse although it's line was
not at fault.
Companies operating wires in this
city cannot be forced, under their fran.
chises, to place their wires under
ground, but the board contends that
the wires on poles in the thickly set
tied and congested business districts
menace lives and property, and tha,
under the police powers granted the
city it can compel the companies ope
rating electric lines and wires, te
place the same underground. The in
staliation of such a system would be
very expensive, the cost to the city
! light plant alone being probably $50,
; OO0
However. the Light, Heat and Power
| company and the city plant will sooI
have to erect new poles, Johnson says
and as wooden poles are SO much
more expensive now, costing about 81
per cent more than they did six years
ago, he contends the underground sys
TEN in the end would be cheaper.
Most cities of the size of Richmond
are having this same trouble witt
