FINDING THE RANGE At SEA.
How Warships Bring Thsir Guns to
Bear upon the Enemy.


One OF the most important instru-
ments used on warship is the range
finder. for without this instrument it
is practically impossible to aim the
guns accurately without first mourning
a serious delay in getting the range
by trial shots.
Range finders all work on much the
same principle. images of the ship or
other object sighted on being received
through the two object glasses, one
located near each end and on the side
of the tube. being reflected and refract-
ed by system of mirrors and pFisms
so that both are brought to the eye of
the observer. who looks through the
eyepiece located at the middle OF the
tube and on the opposite from the OBJ
ject glasses.
The right hand object glass transmits
only the upper half of the object sight
ed on and the left hand object glass
the lower half. When sighting on n
ship, for example, the rigging and fun
nels will appear to be Offset horizon
tally from the lower part of the ship,
long as the instrument is not set
Or the correct range. The images are
then brought together by a thumb
screw that moves one of the prisms,
and this sets scale that shows the
distance In yards TO the ship-Pear-

A MILITARY DANDY.
Ruzsky's Dantiness Under Fire the
Start of His Rise to Fame.

Start of His Rise to Fame.
General Ruzsky, who commanded
the Russian army that overran Cali
cia and became in consequence the
hero Of the day in Russia. was con-
spicuous as young lieutenant for the
daintiness and elegance of his dress.
In the Turko- Russian war OF 1871
Ruzsky. then young lieutenant, serv-
"a rs aid.dc-camp on the staff OF one
of the Russian generals. In the heat
of the battle Of Plevna he was order
ed to take dispatch to the command
or in chief. the famous Skobelev. He
found Skobelev standing I'm n rather
exposed position, surrounded by his
staff.
As young Ruzsky delivered his dis
patch n shell from Turkish battery
struck the ground near by and. eX-
plodiug. Hung n shower of dust and
dirt over the party. Most of the Off
GERS involuniarily dpcked their heads.
but young Ruzsky stood firm and
erect Then, as calmly as if he were
i'm ballroom. he drew from his peck
ct spotless linen handkerchief and
flecked the dust from his immaculate
uniform.
A smile of derlsion passed over the
faces of the staff officers, but SkoheIev
looked at the young lieutenant with
sudden interest and asked his name
you will remain with me as a mem
Der of my staff he said to the as
tonished young officer. IL am in need
of such men as you.'
Years after. when Ruzsky's service
had proved the correctness Of General
Skobelev's estimate of his abilities. the
general told the incident OF the burst
ing shell to the car.
"When n soldier has such n keen re-
gard for his appearance before his
fellow man that no danger can make
him uncopcerned about the figure he
cuts" explained Skobelev "he makes
dependable leader of men. He will
suffer death rather than permit any
regard for his personal safety to i'm
pair the impression of inferiority that
he is so anxious TO make upon his fell
low man. Even though he be cow
ard at heart he will always play the
part Of brave man in his desire TO
have men consider him possessed OF
superior qualities.
I'm Ruzsky am doubly fortunate"
concluded the veteran general. FOR
Ruzsky Is both dandy and brave
man."-Youth's Companion.

The regulation Of the heights Of

considerable number Of regulations en-
forced abroad Among other impor-
tant ones are those affecting the ratio
of the area of the building 10 that OF

Of sleeping rooms, says Frank Rooster,
author of Modern City Planning and

Representative figures are selected
which. though in many cases not ap-
picable to American cities, will give a
good idea of the regulations in effect
abroad
The area OF the lot which mny be
built over in cities in the grand duchy
of Baden. the regulations of which are
regarded as being very well worked
out. varies, according TO the zone, from
quarters to four-ffihs of the total
area. In the outlying districts these
figures are reversed. it being permissi-
blc to build only over from one-quarter
to one-fifth Of the total area OF the lot
In other cities the regulations vary,
