The Sight On A Rine.

The average person, if asked to explain
why rifle is sighted, would probably be
unable to do so beyond some vague re-
mark about taking correct aim.
Sights are necessary because a bullet
does not travel in straight line, but un-
der the influence OF gravity and friction,
begin TO drop almost as soon as if leaves
the muzzle Thus the bullet OF our SER
vice rifle Lee Eniield) drops 6 inches in
the first 100 yards, but when IT has gone
200 yards il will have dropped not II
inches but 2 feet. The drop increases by
leaps and bounds with the distance.
Were there no sights on the rife and you
wanted to hit mark at 200 yards you
would clearly have TO aim feet above it.
This would be awkward, foryou would
lose sight OF the object aimed at, TO say
nothing OF the difficulty Of correctly esti-
mating distance OF 2 feet al 200 yards.
The sights OF rife enable you TO keep
your eye on the mark. although the muz-
zle OF the rifle is actually pointed above
if. The moving slide OF the back sight
enables YOU automatically to point the
muzzle Just so many feet above the mark
aimed at as is necessary to counteract the
known drop ofthe bullet at various ranges.

A Secret Society Wardrobe.

At the recent funeral OF Paul VanTuyl,
OF St. Louis, it was computed that he be-
longed to no less than 81 organizations OF
various sorts, some of them secret socie-
ties and others political and social clubs.
He had been "joiner" for twenty odd
years.
He was member OF so many organ
izations that it was impossible for him
TO attend all the meetings OF his clubs and
lodges. even had he desired TO do so.
A number of the organizations 10 which
VanTuyl belonged were OF military
character and required gaudY uniforms.
This was in addition TO the lodge regalia
and fixings that went with his secret So
cieties.
In order 10 keep this array of uniforms
and trappingS in good order and ready
for instant use VanTuyl had man who
might have been termed his secret socie-
ty valet.
An indeXed catalogue Of his uniforms
had to be kept and also one of his medals
andiDsignia. These were more numerous
than his clothes, and one valet was dis
missed for the very grave oifense of set
ting out uniform with medal pinned
on the breast that did not belong to it.
A number Of the more gorgeous uni
forms in the wardrobe carried swords,
and VanTuyl would not tolerate any mix
ing OF wrong blades and uniforms.
The dues and other expenses that were
a necessary accompaniment TO these many
suits and medals and swords made a very
substantial yearly sum. The cost OF the
wardrobe was estimated at VanTuyIs
death 10 be $4,000.
Kenneth p Blair, OF San Francisco,
who died two years ago, was said TO have
had membership that beat VanTuyrs
by II organizations. But his wardrobe
could not compare with that OF the ST.
Louis man.

Animals And Temperature.

Animals are not so easily acclimated as
most people think. For instance, mon
key, used TO living in the trees in the
shade, il exposed to The hot tropical sun,
will die within three hours. A rabbit
will be acted on in the same way. Ii has
been shown that these particular animals
have not developed sufficient supply OF
perspiration glands. An animal with a
plentiful supply OF these glands can stand
almost anything in the way OF heat; for
the evaporation OF perspiration has an
enormous cooling effect. Therefore ami
mails used TO living in trees or in the shade,
not having the glands, cannot stand trop-
ical heat.
Another peculiarly is that animals ac-
climated TO tropicalheat always have dark
or rejecting skins. All animals domesti-
Gated in the tropics thar did not have them
before have acquired dark skins.
BLACK skins absorb more heat than white
skins, and il would therefore seem TO be
the wrong color for the tropics. But the
absorption of heat by the black skin pro-
duces excessive perspiration, and conse-
quent cooling by evaporation; so IT IS
really a blessing. A rejecting skin would
not absorb much OF the heat rays. Such
a skin is like a mirror, and is possessed
by sleek animals. Black skins. while they
absorb heat more quickly than white, also
lose il more quickly when the animal gets
in the shade. As a matter OF fact, nearly
all dark skinned animals OF the tropics
hide during the daytime and come forth
only at night, simply because they are not
supplied with glands, and not because OF
their black skin.
Animals in general cannot easily adapt
themselves 10 a new climate; but il has
been proved that man can adapt himself
TO any climate, whether his immediate
ancestors were ever subjected to il or not
The reason is in the wonderful heat reg
ulation OF Ire human body.
When a man is hot in the summertime
and needs cooling he perSpireS freely,
and the sweat evaporateS and coolS him.
When he gets cold the pores close up and
do not LEI the sweat come out and cool
him. This regulation is minute and in
voluntary, and is on the job every minute
OF the day. A man can go naked in snow
and not suffer much discomfort. The
pores close up into tight knots goose
flesh, and thus have the body covered
with a skin almost alright.

OF recovering treasure from ships sunk at
great depth," says the April Popular Me-
chanics Magazine, in an illustrated arti-
Gle.
"The new submarine consists Of a steel
sphere, feet in diameter and capable Of
carrying two workmen. 1t is designed TO
be lowered into The water from tender,
but is provided with electrically driven
propelers by which il can be moved
about in the water as it hangs at the end
OF the cables.
zone OF the essential features is set of
four electromagnetic which, when ener-
gized by current from the motors within
the sphere, serve the purpose of holding
il very securely to the steel hull of sunk
en- ship. Current for operation is sup
piled through cable running down from
the tender. in addition TO this equipment
il will be provided with electric drills Tor
piercing the side of a ship and with a

NEW VOL. 50-No. II.
The Kings Test.

Once upon time. there was a King
who desired 10 give a great Barony to one
OF his Knights. There were many good
and worthy aspirants for The honor and
the land, and the selection was a difficult
problem. The new Lord must have Wis
dom. for the Barony needed careful rul-
ing but above all he must have loyalty,
for the Barony was most important pro-
vince Of the Kingdom, and the Lord OF 1t,
should his ambition exceed his gratitude.
could weaken the power Of the King and
perchance overthrow him and seize the
Kingdom.
Finally the choice lay between two
Knights, wise and strong. But the King
was sore perplexed to find test tor their
loyalty.
One day when the court was bunting In
the forest the King rode far ahead OF his
men. Presently there came loud cries
for help, uttered with the full strength
of the royal lungs. Immediately the en-
tire party started full speed TO the assist
ance of their master. When they reach
ed him he was sitting quietly on his horse
under greenwood tree. His ferce eyes
scanned the troop soliciious followers.
"Where is Cedric 2" he demanded.
"Why does he not come to my rescue Z
He fawus at my feet asking for Barony
but why has he tailed TO rush 10 me when
cry loudly that am in danger 2"
"Sire," said Cedric's rival Tor the Bar
ony, "he stopped TO speak with an old
woman. Even as your cries rang In our
ears and we spuned our horses, anxious
10 give our lives for your suecor. Cedric
knelt beside the old woman and gave her
gold. This is Cedric's loyalty, my Lord !
He would not risk his life for you" ="
Bring the varlet hither" commanded
the King. "Why did you not come to
me when called for help1" he roared
in a terrible voice when Cedric had been
brought before him. "Why did you
kneel beside an old woman and give hef
gold when you knew your master was In
peril ?"
"Sire," replied Cedric, there were
many 10 90 TO your aid but there was
no one to help the old woman. She was
my old nurse, and many time In my in
fancy had she saved my life. Not even
for my King would ! ride past that old
woman il she lay Ill and helpless" ="
81 hereby appoint you to that Barony."
announced the King in well satisfied
tones. "Your loyalty has been proved.
The man who will moi desert his faithful
old nurse for the yeIps Of his King will
not desert his King for the calls OF hrs
own ambition"
