LOCAL MlLITIAMEN SHOW UP WELL IN
 TARGET PRACTICE
Score Hits With I2 Inch Mortars
 Firing en Floating Targets

The corrected fire control sheets for the artillery practice at Fishers IsI- and of the Bridgeport Coast Artillery companies were received by the com pany commanders and the boys are highly eIated with their records. The 4th and 11th companies, Capt.s A. c. Bennett and Dana R. August, com manding, made two record shots from the 12 inch morttrs at distance of 4,195 yards that excited much admI- ration from the observing board of regular army officers.
 The Bridgeport boys of the 4th and 11th companies were assigned to Clin- ton Battery on 12 inch mortars and fired a projectile weighing 1,O46 ID s., requiring a. -29 fb., 12 oz. charge of nitro -ceIlulose powder. The mortar to which they were assigned has been fired but 45 times since its manufac- ture, including their practice upon it and it is the first time record shots or this gun. As the target is floating and moving at the speed of the cur rent and tide at a distance of almost three miles, a, hit by companies as signed to practice there for only ten days is considered quite remarkable and the regulars comp1imented the local companies on their skill.
 The boys report favorable weather, good food and accomm odations and 8 general all around good camp of in structfon They are rated about 90 per cent. on attendance and a very high mark on artillery practice.

Seal Stair Builders.

How seals cut steps in the perpen- 1icuIar sides of ice cakes in order to rise from the water for the purpose of breathing has been recorded by mem bers of Captain Scott's antarctic expe- 61tion- It was discovered that the seals, which formerly were supposed to leave the water by leaping, actually cut steps in the slippery surface with the great canine or eye teeth. As soon as the teeth are placed in position the head is moved rapidly from side to side until the ice has been cut away sufficiently to afford a footing for the front f1ippers of the animal. Each step has to be 1aborious1y cut after this fashion until the body, is far enough out of the water to be thrust up the rest of the way by kick of the hind 1ippers.-New York Press
