Enaland's First Scientist.

The first great English scientist was
Roger Bacon. who died In 1894. The
exact date of his birth is unknown, but
II is believed that this year marks the
seven hundredth anniversary. He was
prosecuted and condemned and much
of his work destroyed, so that the ex-
tent of his discoveries cannot be def
nitely known. 1t Is certain that he
was centuries ahead OF his ignorant
and credulous times in chemistry, me-
chanics and mathematics. Branded as
a magician. he was thrown into prison.
From 1877 until a short time hefosc
his death Bacon was iatsared In a
filthy cell ,EA = said to have invented
=taS camera obscura. the air pump and
the diving bell, and he was acquainted
with the uses OF optical lenses and the
nature of gunpowder, although the pro-
jectile power of gunpowder appears not
to have been discovered until the fol-
lowing century. 1t is said that during
q war Bacon set fire to the chief build
ings in a town by using burning lenses.

now to study. "Naaman, captain of

Syrian nobleman was the general of
the Syrian army and had won military
distinction. 1.-The Lord had given de-

for the ~Israelites, and, although Jeho-

the historian attributes victory to his
divine Intervention, for to his mind
there were no gods but the n SUI

his honors counted for nothing, now
that this awful disease afflicted him.
"A little maid captured from one Of
the border villages Of Israel was sold
into the family Of Naaman. THE
prophet that Is in Samaria." This slave
girl shared the distress of the family
over the affection Of the general, and
she frequently expressed a wish In the

PERFUME OF MUSK.
The odor 10 Penetrating Because the
Substance is Radio active.


The extraordinarily penetrating pow
er of musk perfume Is accounted for
by the fact that 1t is radioactive. The
United States consul at Chunkiny.
China. writes that this property causes
the odor to be carried through the air
in a way that would otherwise be i'm
possible. And he adds that this radio.
active property affects most peculiarly
the natives who carry 1t. III II is held
close to the body for any length OF
time 1t produces sores that are proba-
bly, similar in character to those caused
by pure radium."
Musk Is a secretion of certain glands
or pouches of the male musk deer and
is secreted only during certain seasons
pure. and one Of the largest French
manufacturers of perfume keeps a rep
resentative at Tachienlu, near the
Tibetan border, for the sole purpose of
buying 1t.
Three thousand pounds OF musk on
an average are shipped every year
from Chunking, and fully half OF this
has passed through Tachienlu. which
Is n Of the principal musk markets of
the world, though eighteen days jour-
ney from Chunking. the nearest port.
The deer, which are seldom more
than three feet long and twenty to
twenty-five inches tall, are being
slaughtered In such numbers that they
are becoming more and more scarce
and will eventually be extinct.

Marked Activity Is Seen Among
All the F~ortresses Which
Protect Us From Possible In
vaders - Placing of Mines.
How Guns Are Manned.

NE Of the first acts of President
Wilson If this country is called
W upon to prepare itself to meet
the possible attack of a first
class power will be to bring the coast
artillery arm of the national defense
up to the very top notch of efficiency.
AS a matter of fact, this work is al
ready under way, and all one has to
do in order to realize that this is so is
to read the reports of the chief of the
coast artillery corps and those of spe-
cial boards and otheSs to whom is in
trusted the working out of a definite
and reliable system of defense for
Americas long seacoast lines, the plans
embodying not only the manning and
armament of the great Notifications,
but also the land supports of those for
tifications.
The policy of the war department
has since 1909 been to man fully all
Notifications in Hawaii, the Philip
pines and the Panama canal zone, as
well as mine defense areas regardless
of whether those mine areas are in the
continental United States, in the In
sular possessions or canal zone Fur
thermore, it has been the desire of the
war department to provide a regular
army personnel for the coast artillery
sufficient to hall man the emplaced
guns and mortars in the United States
proper and to develop the coast de-
Tense organizations Of the national
guard until the guard is able to fur
nish the men necessary to furnish the
remaining one-half of the needed per-
sonnet.
Armament at Minimum.
At the present moment the IN
ment Of the insular coast defenses is
sary. That the armament should be
further increased until guns are en-
placed that will have range sufficient
to hold in check at long distance any
attacking feet that may be brought
against them Is the opinion OF coast
artillery experts of the army.
In these defenses the manning COM
plements, unlike the case In the Unit
ed States proper, must be maintained
al their maximum. for 1t is an I'M
doubted and accepted fact that in the
event of war the reinforcement of
the troops at any of these Notifications
cannot be guaranteed by the war de-
partment. The reinforcing of the
troops in the Philippines and Hawaii
would be practically impossible, while
the reinforcing Of the troops in Pana-
ma would be at least a most difficult
problem to solve.

upon the national guard coast artillery
organizations for the personnel that
would be required to bring the man
ming of them up to the maximum
strength needed. But the hopes of the
war department have not been realized
In either instance, and the national
guard, instead of being able to furnish
the one-half personnel expected of it,
cannot ven furnish o%ne-fourth the
quota desired.
There are In the coast artillery de-
tachments a few positions that could
be filed by men with little training,
such as for instance, ammunition de-
tachments, the details of which the or
binary citizen could master in a few
days. But for every position for which
men could be quickly trained there are
a dozen others where the training must
necessarily be of extended nature and
where, If the soldier Is to be rated as
efficient, his training must be as thor
ough as the most expert Of coast artil-
lery and ordnance officers "a make it.
Such positions as these are those of
battery commanders, officers to whom
will be intrusted the all important task
Of handling the range finding appara-
tus and determining the positions Of
the enemy, gun pointers, officers as
well as enlisted men, who will be con-
cerned in the range correcting, range
setting and range finding work which
is as difficult as 1t Is scientific.
C~annoneers Must Be Trained.
Likewise the cannoneers must be
trained, not here and there, but at the
points where the batteries they are to
handle are emplaced. AS the railroad
engineer knows his engine. so must
the c%annoneer know his gun or mortar,
II he Is to render the service his coun-
try should expect of him in the event
Of a national crisis.
Under the present scheme the annual
report Of the chief Of coast artillery
shows the gun defense of this country
is supposed to include 1900 officers and
36,051 enlisted men. These figures in
dictate what we need, not what we
have. by any means.

As for the mine defenses, which it
can be stated are now In good condi-
ton, every mine company in the coast
artillery corps must be maintained at
its maximum strength. No half man.
ming is possible here, for the training
of men for this most important of de-
fensive works is a most difficult task
and one that takes time. These men
must know all about explosives and
how to handle them. They must NOW
all about the laying of submarine ca
bles, and it is absolutely essential that
they shall be able to maintain and to
operate an electrical system that is
complicated and demands a thorough
knowledge Of electricity on the part of
those responsible for its operation.
Submarine Mines Necessary.
In the protection Of New York, Bos-
| ton, Norfolk, New Orleans, San Fran
| cisco and our other great ports, both
at home and In our insular possessions,
the war function Of the submarine
mine is one the importance Of which
cannot be overestimated. On stormy
nights and during fogs the mine is
more than any other instrument OF
modern warfare responsible for the de-
Tense of these great ports.
And when wal does come the mine
companies cannot be increased with
volunteers, since experience has shown
beyond all doubt that the mine plant
ing and mine operating soldier must
undergo a long and thorough course Of
training under the most expert of tu-
tors. and, further, that in this branch
of the service, perhaps more than any
other, the necessity of team work Is
great. 1t is entirely out of the ques-
ton to expect TO get militiamen or vol
unteers who will be Of any use In this
important branch of our scheme of ma
tional defense.
Fortunately for the country. the mine
companies of the coast artillery are as
efficient as any units of their kind In
any army in the world, and In he
event of war the harbors of all our
great ports could be mined within
twenty-four hours after the declaration
of war. The scheme of mine defense
has been carefully worked out for near
ly all the great seaports, and those
which have yet to be included within
the approved plan Of mine defense VIII

stated without violating any conf
