FAMOUS FLAG FOR STATE.
Colonel Proctor's "Rattlesnake" Now
In Library.

Colonel Proctor's "Rattlesnake" Now
In Library.
Greensburg, Pa.-The famous Rattle
snake flag has been transferred from
the vault Of the Merchants and Farm
ers' bank in Greensburg to the state
library, Harrisburg, to take it's place
among other interesting relics Of Amer
lean wars.
The Rattlesnake flag belonged to
Colonel John Proctor's Independent
battalion of Westmoreland county. It
was made in 1775 and was carried in
the Revolution. Samuel Craig, ST.,
who, with his three sons, John, Alex
ander and Samuel junior, fought in
Proctor's battalion, was the color
bearer.
On Colonel Proctor's death the flag
passed to the next senior officer, and
so on to the last survivor, General
Alexander Craig. It was bequeathed
by his great granddaughter, Jane Ma
ria Craig Of New Alexandria, to the
state library at Harrisburg.

BATTERY OF BIG GUNS DESIGNED IN
tleships is one that has received the
most careful consideration on the part
of the bureau Of ordnance and the gen
eral board.
There is an axiom with regard to
calibers which amounts to this: That
a ship should mount the smallest big
gun that will pierce the enemy's armOr
over vitals at the maximum probable
fighting range. The fourteen inch guns
Of the Pennsylvania will get through
the maximum armor aflOat, so far as
our knowledge goes, at range of 49,
600 yards. The Queen Elizabeth's fif-
teen inch guns will do little more than
that. If our information is correct as
to the velocity Of the British fifteen
inch gun the fourteen inch guns on
the Pennsylvania will range a little
farther than the Queen Elizabeth's if
teen inch gun. The f1atter trajectory
of the fourteen inch gun gives it in
creased probability of hitting in CON-
parison with the fifteen inch gun.
THE Pennsylvania mounts twelve
guns to the Queen Elizabeth's eight.
Therefore the volume of fire Of our
ship exceeds the volume Of fire of the
British ship by so per cent.
THE navy department has built and
proved sixteen inch gun superior to
both the fifteen inch and fourteen inch
SO far as penetration Of armor at fight
Ing range is concerned. If the Penn
sylvan1a were to be armed with the
sixteen inch gun she could carry only
eight as against the twelve fourteen
inch guns now assigned her. If we
adopted the fifteen inch caliber we
would have to make sacrifice in num-
Der OF guns as great or nearly as great
as was done in the design of the Queen
Elizabeth. ....
Counting volume Of fire and proba-
bility of hitting, we see that at battle
range the number of blows delivered
by the Pennsylvania in given time
will exceed those given by the Queen
Elizabeth by 70 per cent. The fifteen
inch gun, it is stated. fires a shell
weighing 1920 pounds. Our fourteen
inch shell weighs 1,4O0 pounds The
bursting effect of the larger shell will
be greater. Of course, but we have lit
tie doubt that the destructive effect Of
the burst Of the fourteen inch shell will
be quite sufficient for its task. No one
can doubt the advisabiHty of delivering
seventeen hits to ten of the enemy.
Added to al of the above, we must
recollect that the chance of having
gunfire survive rests with the ship car
ryfng the greater number.
"Now. If we compare these guns at
range greater than battle range or
armor piercing range and merely count
the ability to reach the enemy,s decks
or unarmored parts we find that the
Pennsylvania guns range quite as far
at a maximum as those Of the Queen
Elizabeth. Both guns range farther
than they would have any hope Of hit
ting ship-that is to say, over q, 900
yards, or something like twelve land
miles,"

Fulton, Mo.-Left on the battlefield

How did it happen? By compressed air,
mostly.
The man who wanted the pictures-but
didn't want to pay for them-had imported
from France a few weeks before a new
style moving picture camera run by COM
pressed air. 1t was practically unknown in
America. The old-stye camera is all right
for a set picture, but impossible for quick
shift of scene. The horoscope, or COM
presse d air camera, is designed for taking
just such lively things as riots and sudden
death. Its great advantage lies in the fact
that it does not require a tripod, but is op-
Grated by the camera mans holding it
firmly against his chest, and that the oper-
ator doesn't have to turn crank, but merely
presses a button and the compressed air
turns the crank. 1t is comparatively light;
strong man can run with it.
On the day of the game this frozen-out
manufacturer smuggled his man and his
aeroscope into the field on a press photog-
raphers permit, lent him by an accommo-
dating friend. The horoscope, covered with
leather, seemed to be no different from the

What sinister influence had brought about
this change? Could there be any actual

walked back to the hotel through darkened

that had reached his ears in early days.
