Eye of the Gun.

This Is called the telemetef and r.
used by all artillerists In some shape
or other. The telemeter Is really a
tube with two telescope lenses, one on
each end. The "objectives" Of the
two lenses are placed inside the In
strument and toward the end Of the
tube. Prisms with five faces act as re-
Electors, so that the person looking In
has mechanically spread his eyes to
the two ends Of the tube, with ire
mendous range Of vision.
OF course the ends are 30 arranged
that they may be directed at single
inject at the same time, thus making
it possible Sor the observer to see
what would otherwise be beyond the
power Of the human eye and to know
by the angle at which 1t Is viewed the
distance away.
It requires little practice to use
this wonderful instrument, but In a
few days the operator ascertains how
easily he can determine the precise
distance he is from the object he Is
looking at, and by a quick calculation
he directs the pointing Of the gun 30
that 1t cannot fail to strike at the de-
sired spot-Pearson's Weekly.

Why "Oxford Bears''p

An old question: When and how
originated the term "Oxford Bears" as
applied to residents of our county? Col.
Roosevelt was much interested In the
bear carried at the head of the Oxford
County delegation in the Lewiston pa
rade Thursday night. and wanted the
history of the bear and the history of
the name. This last no one was able to
give him, nor have any of the historians
so far consulted given positive answer.
Can any one state with authority what
was the origin of the now well-recog-
nized term, "Oxford Bears?
