SEAS PERILS EVER PRESENT
Be Held Without the Element
of Danger.

1t is the great distinction of tho sea
that It's peace maneuvers are never
sham fights. To whatever branch or
grade of the naval service a seaman
may belong, when he Is on active
service he Is always face to face with
"the real thing" A mistake of any
sort, a pardOnable miscalculatiOn, a
momentary failure of nerve or atten-
t1on, or even some small unavoidable
accident, may involve the forfeit Of
many lives. Hence the magnificent
training the sea imposes in mani.
ness, resourcefulness and self-control.
The submarine branch Of the navy
has undoubtedly risks and dangers Of
Its own, as the sad tale of previous
disasters plainly shows; and when a
catastrophe unhappily occurs it is OF
q nature to make profound impress.
sion upon the public. But in relation
to the number of submarines in COM
mission, and to the constant exercise
they undergo, the picked officers and
men who serve In them do not incur a
risk out of all proportion greater than
their comrades in other branches.
Danger and risk are no peculiar
prerogative of the submarine. Daily
raced in the routine of duty and daily
overcome, they form the very founda-
ton OF naval character, and are a
pledge, in no small degree, of the Sc
cur1ty upon which as a nation we re-.
pose. ...

to when we finished our half of the
ninth. Hickman was the first man up
for Cleveland in the last half of the
ninth. He smashed the first ball on a
line, but Hartzel went back to the
fence and grabbed it. Larry picked
the next one and Dave Fultz made a
wonderful running catch. Now Cleve.
lTnd had not been hitting Rube that
hard up to that time and I passed the
word around that whoever made the
third out shou'l keep the ball and see
that 1t was still in play when the
tenth inning began if the Maps did not
manage to win out. Then Flick hit
1t on the nose, but Sox Seybold made
the best catch I ever saw him make,
a one-handed stab in right center
"Sox remembered what had been
said and he brought the ball in and
never handed 1t over until Moore was
ready to pitch. We did not intend to
let Cleveland have a chance to throw
1t out Of the lot. Then came our halt

Goethe's Birthday.

An amusing story, taken from BODIES
book on Goethe. appears in Paris
contemporary In August, 1918, Goe.
the went to Carlsbad for the cure, and
placed himself under the care of Dr..
Rehbein. One morning when he rose
he requested Charles, his domestic, to
place a bottle of red wine and glass
in each of the two windows in the
room. -;- t. 81. -,ssr
Then the poet walked round and
round the apartment, stopping at each
window to drink a glass of wine.
When he had nearly emptied the bot.
ties the doctor arrived. "Ah," said
Goethe, you are come. Do you know
1t is my birthday?" mo-" said the
doctor, "it is not your birthday. It
falls tomorrow"
Only the production of the almanac
could convince Goethe that he was a
day out in his reckoning. When he
discovered his mistake he gave vent
to strong expression which Scott
puts in the mouth of Capt. Manly
Ewart, and, after a long pause, turn.
ing to the doctor, said: "Then have
got drunk for nothing"

DOUBLE REPORTS IN FIRING
Curious Effect Produced by Use Of
Maxim silencer During Target
Practice.

Taking as his text the double report
noted during the firing on the battle
ship North Carolina during the recent
aerial target practice, Hiram Percy
Maxim writes: "Our experiments
with the Maxim silencer have devel-
oped many other interesting cases.
For example,: II rifle equipped
road track having telegraph poles
along the side there is a distinct
crack heard for each telegraph pole.
If the rife is fired from an open field
with a tree or clump of bushes at,
say, 200 yards, there is heard crack
from this clump of trees. If there are
several detached clumps Of trees or
bushes over the open field, there will
be heard crack for each of them.
If, instead of firing parallel with the
ground, the gun is elevated and fired
straight up in the air, we hear no
noise at all, except the fall of the ham.
mer and the puff of the gases escap-
Ing from the silencer. i
"The reason for this is probably as
follows: In the ordinary gun the re-
port noise is so loud that it engulfs all
other sounds, and we are conscious of
nothing but report noise itself. It is
not until this report noise is annulled
that We can hear the bullet fight
noise. This latter noise, being made
out in the air beyond the gun, can
come back to the shooter only by re-
flection.
If there is one object, we get ono
reflection and one noise. If there are
many separate objects, we get many
teparate reflections and separate
noises. If there are no rejecting OBJ
jects, such as when shooting straight
up into the air, then We get no re-
nected nO1se.' Z. -~- F. Fl.

MAsTER-sMlTH OF THE DAY.
Produces Steel Of Cutting Capacity
surpasslns Work Of Legendary
SWordmakor.

We are all familiar with the old
time legends OF the master smith, who.
by his skill ct the forge, was able to
produce for the hero OF the tale q
weapon which should cut through the
armor OF giant or wizard and main
tain its temper and edge against all
tests.
The modern industrial captain has
to cut his way also through metal,
and one of the notable achievements
OF the engineer and metallurglst has
been his success in the production of
steels OF hardness and cutting ca
pacity which. altogether. surpass the
finest work OF the legendary sword
maker.
Not content with the manufacture
of tool steel of hardness, high-speed
cutting capacity and exquisite temper,
the modern master-smith has now pro-
duced method of converting soft
iron or low-grade steel into tool-steel
of the highest grade simply by the in
fusion OF the necessary proportion of
carbon and other elements by contact
and proper heat treatment, so that
keen-edged chisels may be made from
railroad spikes and machine cutters
from soft and inexpensive steel.
Trials of cutting tools made by the
!nfusionprocess at the ordnance bureau
of the United States navy department
have given such remarkable results,
both as to cutting speed and endur-
ance, that the chief of the bureau
says: From the test Of the infusion
treated samples, it appears superior
to any hardening process now in use
at the naval gun factory" so that the
modern master-smith has outstripped
the fabled tales of the wizard weap-
on-maker of medieval times.

SOME CLEVER TRICKS
Harry Davis Tells of ShreWdness
Of W. R. Armour.
Dill Had Box Of Live Balls to Use
When Batting Rally Was On, but
Athletics Were Wlse and
kept Ball In Game.

"They used to pull off lot Of tricks
In the American League that are
tabooed now," remarked Harry Davis,
Cleveland's new manager, recently.
They did not stop with signal tipping
devices, but they worked in rabbit
ball now and then. cut down the pitch
ers' box over night, cut down or raised
the line toward third base, let the
hose run all night on the base paths
or on the grass near the plate. Clark
Griffith turned that last trick on us
one day when he was managing the
White Sox. Thought he would make
1t difficult for our third sacker to
field bunts, but our pitcher and Lave
Cross got every one, while Griffith
himself slipped in the water and
soaked his uniform.
"Bill Armour was man Of whom we
were always suspicious. That suspi-
cion dated from time I was with
Providence in the Eastern League.
The Rochester team had a. faculty OF
batting cut victories in the eighth and
ninth innings and we made up our
minds that a rabbit ball was working.
We finally told our third base coach.
er to go to the Rochester bench be.
tween innings and keep watch. Sure
enough. He discovered that they
were tossing out live wire toward
the end of games when Rochester
was behind
"They confessed then and we
kept their secret on the condition
that they tip us off as to where they
got the live ones. So, the next day
visited the shop, which was located
in Rochester, and there on a bench
was a package Of balls directed to w.
r. Armour
"I called the attention Of the old
German who ran the shop to the
package and he admitted that 1t con.
tanned lively balls.
But he said, they are only for
practiee.'
