of the gun which is making new

The rife is 80 caliber-that is the

hundredths Of an inch. There is an
other way of using the word 'caliber
which often confuses persons. It is
80 caliber rife, but II you should
say that a gun is 80 caliber you
would be understood to mean that the
bore is thirty times longer than its

wonderful that men accomplish so
much. 1t is the gradual progress
of science. One man improves upon
the ideas of the explorer who went
before. That pictures can be sent

able. but it must be remembered
that the process is one Of, evolu-
ton Years ago pictures were sent
by telegraph from one point to an
other, but the process was so eX-
pensive that it was not altogether
a success. The Korn method which
is now generally accepted, has not
only improved over the original idea
but has enabled the inventor to
transmit a photograph by cable. EX-
cellent likenesses have been tele-
graphed from Munich 10 Nurem-
burg, in Germany, and the claims
of the inventor are tor still greater

PHOTOGRAPHS OVER THE SEA

Solomon was decidedly wrong
when he declared that there was
nothing new under the sun. we
are today living in an age of mir
acles. What the ends of science
will be no one can say. Men now
fly through the air like birds. Mes
sages are sent around the globe
without the use of wires. Tele-
Dhones have been invented which
operate through space. Now comes
the announcement that a German
scientist has discovered n process
bv which he can send photographs
over the sea by cable. In other
words. a photograph can be cabled
to the Old World and can be pub
lished in the press three hours az
ter It leaves American shores.
This seems impossible, but so dic
wireless telegraphy and the aero
plane seems impossible, There are
no limits to the possibilities of the
human brain.

trolled by the photograph and the

DEEP WATERWAY
MAINE TO FLORIDA
PLAN FOR A GREAT INLAND
WATERWAY TO ALLOW PASS
AGE OF TORPEDO BOATS.

Washington, ID. C, May 5.-That
waterways are of value not only IN
time of peace hut in time of war,
and that an inland waterway along
the Atlantic coast as a means of ma
tional defense would be of even
greater value than the Panama can
al, is the opinion expressed by
Mr.. Theodore Justice, Of Philadel-
phia, who is commissioner of Fair
mount park
How many of us realize said
Mr.. Justice, that but for the sink
ing of the battleship Maine the
Panama canal would today not even
have been begun? When we were
suddenly facing war We found our
fleet divided, one part in the At
lantic. the other in the Pacific, and
each division liable to being defeat
ed in detail. The long, hazardous
trip of the Oregon around Cape Horn
was a matter of intense anxiety and
aroused the whole nation to The neen
Of the Panama canal as a means OF
national defense, so that in case
of need, we could unite al our
warships in one mighty fleet and
in either ocean.
In my remarks before the con-
ycntion of the National Rivers ana
Harbors congress in December last
/ pointed out that the question whe-
ther the Panama canal, which was
wholly paid for by The United States
and is wholly within United States
territory is to be absolutely within
United States control had seeming
ly become an international question
and had created situation that was
surchargod with danger, one that
might lead to conflict with the whole
world united against us, and that
this conflict might come upon us
as suddenly as did the sinking oil
the Maine The danger which eN-
listed at that time has been multi
piled a hundred fold by the situa-
ton that now confronts us in Mex
leo.
Under such peril our greatest
cities, New York, Philadelphia Bai-
timore, and even Washington the
capital of the nation, might be al

The National Convention and it's Call
 To Women.

TO HDNntns
 The National American Woman Suffrage association issues a call for the 46th annual convention, which is to be held by the invitation of the Tennessee Equal Suffrage league in Nashville, November 12 to Y, in elusive. The importance of this convention is. strongly emphasized and the necessity for far-sighted in telligence and united effort made plain.
 The call explains the diabolical horrors and the needlessness of the war new convulsing the supposed to be civilized world" in this the twen- tieth century, century marked by golden achievements in art, inven- ton, science, manufactures, civic bet terment and up-lSt work for the whole worlds good. And yet it is this century of the worlds progress which is forever disgraced by fe- rocious conflict, which in brutality and gory carnage, blood -thirstiness and horror has a supremacy in in iquitq never before known-even ir the so-called dark ages.
 The Call states: "The hearts of thousands of women have been torn by the death and wounds of those they bore--of those they love. Yot neve, has the will and power to help been greater--or mans need of such help ever been more clearly seen"
 Mrs. Kate Waller Barrett, the re- former and suffragist, speaking be- fore the Alliance of Jewish Women. also voiced the feeling which has found birth in the hearts of Ameri- can women when she said: "When the civilization of Europe is rebuilt and it must be rebduilt-it will be upon a new basis.
