PREPARING FOR ACTUAL WAR
Large Sums Of Money Expended for
Models Destroyed a. Object
Lesson for Gunners.

Near Okehampton. England, the
other day a dummy village that had
been especially built for the purpose
was blown to pieces by shell fire from
a battery 0Fheavy guns placed some
distance away, the object OF the Gu
rious and costly experiment being, Of
course, to find out exactly what would
happen to real village in similar
circumstances, says Pearson's Weekly
The idea, which is not exactly q
new one, was borrowed originally
from Germany, where some very elab
crate experiments on similar lines
have been conducted.
One of these involved the construc-
ton of an exact model to scale of the
great Fortress of Spandau. The mod
Ell was not toy. but real fort in
miniature, covering over four acres of
ground and costing $675,000 to build.
Walls, bastions, glacis, redoubts,
were all solidly and substantially
made. A powder magazine, in which
some scores of barrels of powder were
stored, was placed in exactly the same
position as the real powder magazine
occupied in the real fortress. Even
the money tower" wherein is kept
at Spandau. ever since 1874, the sum
Of $6,000,000 in coin for the purpose
of immediate use in case of war, was
duplicated. and dummy treasure
chests" filed with steel ingots, were
placed inside it. When all was ready
the bOmbardment commenced. The
guns used we're real cannons, but they
were fitted inside the bores with in
ner Jacket" tubes, SO as to admit of
miniature shells being fred at the
miniature fortress.
Four hundred shots were fired, but
the magazine remained unexploded,
although every effort was made to de-
molish it. The money tower, how
ever, was wrecked and the treasure"
was scattered in all directions.
A far more elaborate experiment,
also conducted by Germany. was made
In 1869, when Bismarck and Moltke to-
gether were planning to attack
France. A scale model of Paris was
built. with the Notifications and prin-
cipal buildings all carefully marked
out. These were then bombarded at
various distances, and the effects care
fully noted
Al q result, when the real Paris
came to be bombarded in grim earnest
some two years later. the German ar
tillerymen were able to place their
shells within the doomed city exactly
how and where they liked, having pre-
viously got the ranges by experiment.
ing on the model.
It will doubtless surprise many peo-
pie. too. to learn that similar tactics
have been adopted by Germany as re-
CARDS England. Large-size scale mod
els of the Notifications of Portsmouth,
at all events, were constructed and
blown to pieces by shell fire some
little time back on a lonely spot In
the Island of Rugen, in the Baltic sea,
and doubtless other experiments Of a
like natre have been carried out.

and suggesting, in form at least, a par
tial restoration Of the great Uinta an.
ticline. During the ice age there werel
80 separate glaciers. or rather glacial
systems, the longest of which was
over ~ miles, and each system conf
sisted Of from two to eight glaciers
Today there are no glaciers and the
outlines Of the mountains have BEEN
vastly modified by the action Of these
powerful ice streams, for no agency.
excepting that which caused the origi-I
nal continental uplift, exerts sucl
vfgor and force in changing natural
outlines as does the glacier. Like the
mills of the gods, 1t grinds slowly and
exceeding small. but with vast power
and irresistible force.
Busy Nature.
Long before the age of the Uintal
glaciers, and in fact before the noun
tains themselves were pushed upward
through the earth's crust, Nature was
busily engaged storing up vast sup
plies OF material Of economic value
against this coming Of "industrial''
man. First. in the dim, distant car
bcniferous age, shocks laid down over:
an immense field. slightly to the north
west of the Uintas, millions of tonsI
Of phosphate rock, resulting from
countless myriads Of small marine anil
mails which inhabited this great an
Client basin. Then came the period OF
huge reptilia and other giant forms
the plesiosaurs, the megatheriums and
great winged creatures. half animal.
half bird. Later, in the cretaceoua
age there fiourished a magnificent veg
citation. comparable to the oaks and
other hard woods Of today. These
grew and matured and died and grew
and died again, in an almost endless
round. each generation contributing
its mite to the vast coal deposits Of
the region. Today all about the Vim
tas, in many places a mile below tho
surface. are found the coal beds, con-
tanning billions of tons Of fuel of Gre
taceous age, far younger than the car
boniferous deposits of the Appalachian
mountains, but yet excellent coal. One
bed stands "a feet thick of solid coal,
one of the greatest coal seams in the
world.
Toward the close of this coal period
occurred the great uplift which formed
the mountains. Then, following the
uplift, the region enjoyed for time
almost tropical conditions. the antithe-
sis OF the ice age which was to fol-
low. During this age of warmth many
OF the higher orders Of animals flour
ished in and around the Uintas; at
the base of the mountains have been
found the remains of many monkeys,
cAmels, the terrible saber-too.ked
tigers. and other associated jungle
inhabitants, all now extinct, but their
remains everlastingly preserved in the
volcanic ashes derived from ancient
upheavals. The huge dinosaurs, or
giant sloths roamed the lowlands I'M
great numbers. feeding upon the lux
urious vegetation and constituting the
natural prey of the great tigers. Them
followed the ice age and these mon
sters were either driven southwark or
exterminated. There Is no record in
the rocks Of the presence Of prehis-
toric man. the earliest fiat skulled

belief that he may have. with his
crude stone implements. disputed. and
even more than held his own with tho

Ing out the unsavory dives of the un-
derworld and actually paying for the

centered the searchlight Of publicity

The fad-that is the most chart
cable thing to call it-had its incep-
ton early in the new year during
one OF the periods when the gun
men" were carrying on running fusil-
tades in the crowded streets of the
great east side. 1t began in draw

night late in January, when a young
woman. surfeited with society, opera,

young SWANS, ventured the opinion
that 1t would be awfully interesting

Start Of the Newest "Fad."
One of the young men of her set
anxious to curry favor, as well as to
make good his boast that he knew
police officials who had the open
sesame to the sorts to arrange such
q meeting. That's how it began. The
party, including the. young woman
and several of her girl friends, under
escort Of several well known young
men. left the young woman's home
about midnight. The chauffeur was
directed to saloon not far from
Chatham square where the police
make their first stop after a crime
has been committed.
In the dim light permissible in
back rooms that evade the excise law
by keeping open after hours these
well bred girls shook hands with
criminals of the worst type, men who
take murder and arson contracts ev-
cry day in the week, men who have
been able to cheat the death chair
time and again through their own
cunning and the powerful assistance
of the men and women of the under
world.
Encouraged to talk by liberal re-
tanners, these murderers RECALLED their
visitors with crime after crime which
they had committed. Some more dar-
ing than the rest told of men they had
killed for hire and the price that had
been paid to them. The women went
death white during these recitals and
one Of them was on the verge of faint

Her companions, and even her vicious
entertainers, told her there was moth
