NAVAL GUN VIBRATION.
Conditions on a Warship When Heavy
Firing Is In Progress.

The average civilian has a very
vague idea as to the conditions inside
a turret on a war vessel while heavy
firing Is going on.
The greatest force of the vibration
from the firing of a gun Is naturally
Just outside the muzzle, and that is
outside the turret. So terrific is this
vibration that If severe precautions
were not taken the deck under the
muzzle would be ripped to pieces,
sheet iron doors would be wrenched
from their h~angings and skylights
shattered. To guard against these eff
fects the deck under the gun muzzle Is
REINFORCED with steel plates about an
inch thick and skylights are taken OF
and replaced with coverings of armor
plate.
OF course a very considerable roar
and jar are felt inside the turret. Men
who are looking for the refinement of
%precaution recommend that gunners
wear shoes with rubber cushioned
soles and heels TO lessen the jar on the
deck.
The air vibration, due either to firing
i'm ones own or some other turret, has
caused many cases of gun deafness.
To stuff the ears with cotton wool Is,
of course, the commonest ~expedient
followed by men and officers alike.
There is also what is called the Cheat
ham device, consisting of a mixture of
clay and wool. 1t is very flexible, can
be nodded to- any ear and still allows
its wearer to hear orders.
Gun deafness may come Immediately
as a result of a ruptured ear drum or
gradually owing to an injury to the
auditory nerve.-London Answers.

Pat Moran, manager of the PhiIIies,
has mighty good-looking ball team,
just about the best combination that
has been seen on the West Side this
season. It is by no means an al-star
cast and there are a few fellows on
the team who are nearing the limit
of baseball endeavor, but there isn't
man in the troop that doesn't seem
! to be hustling and interested in his
work every minute of play.
: Behind the bat he has KiIIifer for
his main reliance and the jumper is
as agile as ever, peppery and accu-
rate il his throwing. Luderus on first
and Byrne at third are veterans of
enough experience to steady Ban
croft and Niehoff, the youngsters of
the inner quartet. Luderus right
now is playing the best ball of his
career. He leads the National league
in hitting, and being appointed cap
tain of the team has given him new
interest.
Niehoff has been playing baseball
for some time, but this is his first year
as big league regular at second
base. He is making good on the job,
fielding cleverly and hitting well.
Placed beside him is Bancroft, having
his baptism in the big show.
And Bancroft is the best looking
prospect who has been seen this sea-
son. With MaranVille he will divide
star honors in the old league for
shortstopping. Even should the Phils
