three-quarters inches In diameter
at the breech and two and seven
eighths inches at the muzzle end
of the gun. The grooves in the
steel Jacket have full access to the
atmosphere at the breech, thus
forming a series of inclosed air
ducts running the entire length of
the barrel. Each time the gun is
fired the ejector action of the dis
charge blast sucks through these
ducts, from the rear, a draft of air
which serves to carry off the heat
transmitted to the jacket from the
barrel. The cooling is automatic
in action, without the use of water
or other cooling liquid and without
mechanism or moving parts. AS
aluminium has six times the heat
conductivity of steel and but one
third its weight, this very effective
method of cooling the gun adds
but few pounds to the total
weight carried
Another novel feature which diff
| ferentiates the Lewis gun from all
] other gas-operated guns is the
small inclosed operating spring
which is located near the trigger
piece at the breech far removed
from all injurious heat effects. The

March of the Dining Hour.

The hour of dining has advanced
with the centuries FrOissart mentions
waiting on the Duke of Lancaster at

and was about to go to bed, and the
preface Of the HeptamerOn shows that
the queen Of Navarro dined at 10
o'clock in the morning From the
Northumberland Household Book,
dated 1912 we learn that the ducal
family rose at 6. breallfasted at Z,

vanced to 2, in 1851 we find the
Duchess of Somerset dining ut 3. and
in 1860 COwper speaks Of O'Clock as
the fashionable time. After the battle
of Waterloo the dinner hour was al
tered to 6. from which time it has adj
vanced by half hour stages to 8. So
that in 400 years the dinner hour had

Painting turkeys Legs.

Among the many trades which exist.
but which are not as rule filed up in
the census papers. are the "fakers" of
all kinds. from the manufacturer of
antique furniture and brasses to the
bird fancier VINO can pass a sparrow
as q canary. Perhaps the most curious
form of taking" is that which deals
with turkeys. dead or alive. and which
is principally practicel i'll France. The
age of turkey is told chiefly by its
legs and beak. these are fled and
treated with special varnish by the
''faker" two or three times week be-
fore the bird is to be sold. 1t will then,
to all appearance. have renewed its
youth. and its owner is able to obtain
a much higher price. The freshness of
the dead birds is also largely told by
the color of the legs. and for this. too,
a varnish is used The varnish was

really remarkable man. as he had many

Hardworkinn Dollar.

'T noticed IA statement in an eastern
paper the other day that has disquiet-
ed me a good deal" said Cleveland
man recently The item called to my
attention the fact that it takes a dol
lar at the usual rate of interest more
than two years to earn dime. You
can see the effect. Every time spend
dime l think of that tOiling dollar
spinning away in the dark somewhere.
The dime spend means more than two
years Of steady application. and yet
let it go as if it were of too small
value to be at all considered. Why, it
takes a dollar more than year to
earn 5 cents. Think of that when you
slip the next nickel across. 1t really
makes me feel uncomfortable. | wish

The First Mountaineer.

A Munich paper mas been searching
the records of history 70 discover who
were the first mountain climbers. It
gives the palm to Moses for his as
cent of Mount Sinai and rules ont
Noah for his ascent of Mount Ararat
because he made it in q boat. There
is sufficient evidence to show that the
ancients thought mountain climbing
sheer madness. No one in the time OF
Horace or Polybius wanted to 30
climbing for Il summer holiday. A
Chinese emperor in the seventh cen
fury was the first to make climbing
fashionable in the east. but the first
true tourists in Europe seem to have
been Dante. Petrarch and Leonard.
Then came the Emperor MaXimiliar
l.. who used to hunt in the noun
tains near Innsbruck. and after him
Conrad Won Gesner and Josias Simler
explored the Swiss mountains. But
climbing for pleasure such as we know
it today was not thought of until quite
recently.

BANCROFT At OLD TRICKS
IS TAKEN BACK TO PEN

Bismarck Tribune. November 10Th:
One of the parole officers from the
penitentiary last niRht picked up two
men who have been out on parole for
some time. Sullivan, who was serving a
nineteen.year sentence. for participa-
ting in tho famous Sawyer bank rob-
berry. and Bancroft. who was sentenced
to ten years from Stark county on q
charge of rape.
Both men were taken to the pen at
a late hour last night and Sullivan was
allowed to return 70 his work this morn
ing, after having been given a lecture
on the evils Of drinking and warned
that a second offense would result in
his being sent back to the institution
to finish out his term handed out by the
district court.
Bancroft will remain at the peniten-
tiary, at least until there is another
meeting of the board of parole. when
his case will be taken up. It is under
stood upon good authority that Bancroft
was picked up for living with a woman
who was not his wife.
The above is about what could be .ex-
pected of Leroy Bancroft. People who
knew the man in Dickinson and at his
former home in South Dakota say that
they are, not surprised in the least. The
pardon board should know tie facts in
every case before allowing any convict
out on parole. Bancroft had been work
ing in the barber shop at the Grand Pa
cific hotel In Bismarck the past summes
and fall, it is said.
