Why it is called Rich Hill the Ram

about the hill or the adjacent country
to indicate any especial propriety In
the name, but no doubt there was
in other days a dweller there whose
name was Rich. Near the top of this

chinked with mortar and the whole
whitewashed. 1t is a settlement of col

these circumstances there are greater
chances of securing penetration by the
projectile before explosion than in
straight-line fire.
Therefore, as at Liege. it has been
possible to bury the shell in the earth
or concrete surrounding the armored
turret and blow it up, or. in the case of
the smaller Notifications, where the

shell burst inside.

larger capacity for an exploding charge.
Thus. for weapons of equal caliber. the
armor- piercing projectile would carry
eight or nine pounds of high explosive
and the OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES projectile
would carry upward of thirty pounds
Another feature observed in the OPP

created little connection Some one
would throw a handful of dirt on the
suffering fuse and put it out, or some
one else would pick it up and toss it
over the intrenchments to explode
harmlessly outside.
Our famous dynamite cruiser Vesu-
rius, used in the Spanish American
war, was merely an instrument to
scare the enemy, not to hurt him. This
vessel was equipped to throw huge
quantities of gun cotton against land
works or floating vessels. AS shown
by the reports of Rear Admiral French
T.. Chadwick, the effect of these pro-
jectiles, containing each several hun
dred pounds of gun cotton, when det-
onated against the walls of the forts
at Santiago was negligible. The de-
tenders soon came to disregard them
entirely.

The conversation had turned to dis
cussion of turpinite, the new explosive

What DR. Munroe has to say about

explosives. He is the inventor Of
snokeless powder. Now sixty-ffve
years old. from his youth he has ex-

BICYCLE THEE1S

Tempe's city mail carrier, l.. G.
Vinson, was confronted with the
idea of making his rounds on foot
yesterday morning when he awoke to
the realization that he was one BIZ
cycle shy, due to the work of some
thieving party of the night previous.
The wheel was left down town dur
ing the early part Of the evening and
when it's owner returned to take pos
session along about nine o'clock, not
a trace of the property could be
found nor has anything concerning
its present whereabouts turned up to
date One good strong new paddock
will serve to keep Wilson'S new
pedalmobile, purchased last evening
from a Phoenix firm, in safe keeping
hereafter. The missing wheel was a
Rambler by make, had black frame
and bore a steel spring attachment
for mail sacks on the handlebars, at
the time of its disappearance. Ninson
is but one of four parties who have
lost bicycles during the past week OF
ten days, and possibly one of eight
or ten who have met with the same
misfortune within the period of but
few months back.

breaches IN CHRISTIAN CHURCH

Rev A. Connect, a retired Congrega-
tional minister, preached to a large
congregation in the Christian church
Sunday, one of the most interesting
and timely sermons that we have heard
in some time Mr.. Connect discussed
prophecy and Its Interpretation" and
showed that there is error in the ten
dency to interpret prophecy and read
into the Bible things that were not
intended He selected as his text. 1.-The
things that must shortly come to pass"
and showed that prophecy, which
makes up about one-fifth of the Bible.
is of God and intended to be under
stood. AS rules for the Interpretation
he suggested that one should consider,
the text, who said it, for what purpose
it was written, what light is given as
to time and as to circumstances. He
also showed that the Book of REVEAL
ton had been written for the then time
and not for some imaginary event far
off as today, etc. The discourse was
full of thought and valuable suggestion.

injuries internally began to bothe-'
Ahlquist the next day. Excepting a
soreness about the right shoulder

any extra manual labor, Ahlquist
