ARDuous WORK INVOLVED

Target practice off Hampton Roads
and elsewhere means a lot of hard
work for officers and men. There are
the erection of the targets. the ma
neuyering of the ships. the handling
of the ammunition. the loading and fir
ing of the guns. the inspection of the
targets after fire and many other de-
tails. The strain on the nerves comes
mainly. of course. when the big guns
commence their ear splitting booming.
When the order TO fire ome the great
gun emits a ~deafening roar and a
sheet Of flame. Ii recoils with the
shock, but soon RECEIVERS. and then fol-
low anxious watching and the desire
TO hear the report of the landing of
the projectile. II 1t scores a hit. well
and good. Ii not. there are seowls and
frowns. for each shot counts in the
total.

LIVE scAREcRoW IN LONDON.
The Only One, He Believes, In Business
Of Frightening Away sIrds.

London has long buried under It's
miles of streets any fame thai IL may
once have had as a farming center
and as the home of the rural laborer.
Indeed. most people would be puzzieu
~ asked to find a boy with an Oiu
fashioned clapper soaring birds from
a wheat field within a few miles OF st

crows rose from a broad field OF young
wheat like n flight of black aeroplanes.
He is Willie Taylor. and ever since
he left school. three years ago, biru
soaring has been an important part OF
his work on the farm. They tell me.
he said. that | am the only boy using
an old bird elapper so near London. l

Yes. it's lonely here in the fields all

But sometimes other boys come ana

ORIGINAL FOLKS IN PANAMA.
Discovery of Indians to Whom White
People Are Strangers.

Professor Pittier OF the United States
agricultural department. who was sent
TO Panama for botanical study. has
done some remarkable work for the
Smithsonian institution. In regard TO
exploring among the original inhabit-
ants of that region.
He visited a tribe OF Indians known
as the Chocos. They live on the
southwestern coast of Panama, and
Professor Pittier thinks they are de-
scendants of the tribes which inhcbit-
ed that part of the world when CO.
lumbus discovered Santo Domingo.
They are tall and stalwart, with
kindly natures. a free hospitality and
an innate honesty. Few white men
have W. been among them. Tribes
Of a somewhat similar nature are also
found on the southeast coast. many OF
them having never seen a white face
in their lives. While the republic Of
Panama nominally rules this section.
the truth is that these Indians govern
themselves entirely, have absolutely
no Intercourse with the whites. do not
allow a white man TO visit their lands
and still fly the Colombian flag.
Their houses are grass huts. their
clothing is almost nothing, but they

that they are unacquainted with the
benefits of religion. fashion, society
and government.

LIKELY TARGETS OF FUTURE

When the Indiana is wrecked beyond
use for target purposes no one will be
surprised to see the Massachusetts and
the Illinois and the Iowa follow her
into oblivion via the target route. Like
the Indiana, all these ships are obso-
lete survivors OF the battle of Santiago.
But when a ship is not available 10
fire at targets are erected on RATS. at
which the gunners point the huge iron
monsters under their control and test
their skill.
Steaming at full speed, the marks
men find little difficulty in hitting tar
gets at q range of 1900 yards. which
is really remarkable when Ii Is said
that the largest part of the target Is
below the horizon, the upper part only
being visible. The mere moving of the
ship or n fair size a will often OBJ
scure the target entirely.
European powers also are waking
I'D to the realization of the Importance
of efficient gunnery. 1t was only last
year that foreign navies regarded 1t as
a waste of effort 10 aim at n greater
range than 1000 or 5000 yards. think
ing that the hitting OF a target ut a
greater distance was merely a matter
OF luck.
Nevertheless our ships have proved
beyond q doubt that at the range OF

PRACTICE is EXPENSIVE


The secret of this achievement lies
in the efficiency of the men behind the
gun on the bridge. in the engine o
and particularly of the fire control Of
icer stationed in the cage-like masts
so familiar n part of the equipment OF
a modern American warship.
The enormous cost of target practice
can well be imagined. Take, for in
stance, the Utah, which last year hit
more targets than any other battleship.
The firing Of one of its twelve inch
guns costs, the government $500. IL

Ever since the time of the Spanish

a large percentage of hits, the navy
department has devoted time and
brains to the matter of improving
naval craftsmanship. THE shots that
hit are those that count is q navy
axiom that is impressed on all the
officers and men. and there is keen
rivalry among the vessels for the hon

indicates supremacy in gunnery.

ACCURATE, DEADLY FIRING

The firing has c~onclusively proved
and the total wreck Of the San Mar
cos has impressed every observer Of
the accuracy of fire and the destructive
features of our projectiles.
"As the practice was primarily for
the education of spoilers in estimating
the errors in range at distances of five
to seven miles. ii was intended to have
the salyos so placed that few projec-
tiles would hit the vessel, so that we
might use her again nex year for spot
ting practice.
Almost all the salvos were fired so
that they would fall at varying dis
tances for the education Of the spot
tiers. but I'm order to observe the fire Of
our projectiles on an actual armored
vessel a few OF the salvos were direct
ed at the target itself, and We got a
great many hits from these salvos. |
noticed ON one salvo that four twelve
inch projectiles fell in n bunch, all Of
them striking the vessel and causing
dreadful havoc.
The New Hampshire placed the
salvos anywhere she wanted. and
when the gunners wished to have
some hits on the coming tower and
the turret armor, In order to observe
the effect, they had no trouble placing
yards range at just the point desired.

FATAL LONG RANGE SHOTS

"A few projectiles were directed
against the masts, so as to show what
would happen to the exposed commu-
nication systems. An inspection Of
the vessel after firing showed the i'm
mense holes which had been plowed
through from one side to the other.
many of them being below water and
any oil two of them being suffi-
cient to make the vessel q total loss.
The armor OF this vessel was unable
To withstand the impact at the very
great range at which we fired. and the
battleship was a total loss after the
first two salvos were directed at her.
"All the officers of the feet were
deeply impressed with the accuracy
and the great destructive effect of the
~projectiles. All the manikins which
were placed at the guns representing
the crews were dreadfnlly cut TO
pieces. and the fumes and fire left by
the passage OF high explosive projec-
tiles would have destroyed every liy-
ing thing.
The huikheads in places were like
sleeves. due to the action of high explo-
siyes. and all the compartments below
were completely riddled. Ii was re-
markable to note the enormous power
of some OF these p~rojectiles. which at
12.OO0 yards wen right through the
heaviest armor and continued their
work of destruction inside the vessel"
This test indicates that no enemy
would he proof against American guns
anywhere within q radius Of nine
miles.
