CITY KEEPS PENN'S PROMISE
Grounds for Indians If They Care
to Visit Metropolis.

Historical Philadelphia we all know,
or should know, well, but there are
very few who have ever heard of some
of the old. ut-of-the-ordinary things
that go to form quaint Philadelphia.
One scarcely connects Indians with
the city nowadays, and yet at this
present time If tribe of Indians
should care to visit Philadelphia they
would find two camping grounds await
ing them in the very heart of the city.
One lies between Broad and Juniper
streets, In the rear of the Ritz-Carlton
Hotel, while the other one is down on
Second street. Years ago, when Penn
made his treaty with the Indians, he
promised them that a place would be
kept for them and their descendants
forever, where they could camp when
they came to Philadelphia; and while
these plots of ground are not large,
yet they still stand there in fulfillment
of PENIS promise.
The old shot tower down en- Second
street belongs, too, to Quaint Philadel-
phia. 1t dates back to the early days
of the republic. In those days there
were none of our up-to-date methods
for making shot round, and the method
then employed was to drop the melted
metal from a height into water, thus
forming it into round balls or shot.

BIGGEST OF THE BIG GUNS
Tending Panama Canal Shoot Pro-
jecties Weighing Over Ton.

1t Is not easy to understand what
the power of gun really is-its pene-
trating and destructive power, OBJ
serves Popular Science. What we call
a 15-inch gun-which means one
whose muzzle or hollow part is Is
inches in diameter-will hurl a shell
right through plate or wall of the
hardest steel II inches thick seven
mixes from the muzzle. The power of
the very largest land guns ever made
the German howitzers or 1855 guns
lis such that one of their missiles
cracks open steel and concrete fort
as if it were a nut.
There are two classes of guns
naval guns and army or land guns.
Because they can be manipulated more
easily than those of ship, land guns
are the heavier. From eight to ten
miles is the greatest distance that
gunner can cover successfully at sea.
The largest naval gun is the 15-inch
English gun on the famous super
dreadnaught and the largest land gun
Is the German howitzer. OF the two
the naval gun fires a shell weighing
over half q ton, while the other fires
projectile ton in weight. But the
new giant 16-inch guns of the United
States defending the Panama canal
and New York at Sandy Hook shoot
projectiles weighing 2,370 pounds,
which is over q ton. These immense
steel guns can sink ship before It
has really come into sight on the hori- |
zon, the location of the battleship hav-
Ing been determined by alrplane or

Tho E.erqfaeture OF a car under $500
The announcement that the new
/ Overland car which is to rival tbs
Ford has been completed, tested anc
settled IN every detail comes as the
expected and long looked for in the
cheap car field. Fer several years
the Willys-Ovcrland C. has been
working ON this car, and plans al
ready arc matured for building it in
enormous quantities, apparently to
out-ptsaauce Ford. While the price is
net st;fted, it will sell for less than
$500 and carry complete equipment,
including electric starting and light
in3 with combined DINNER control. In
its complete equipment form, includ-
ing starting battery, lighting sys-
,tsm, extra tire and tire carrier, the
weight IS 1900 lb. The tires are
the same size as those on Fords.
A Different Body.
The body is somewhat different
from other Overland types, due large
ly TO the system of springs which
gives a distinctive appearance to the
front and rear, and while the wheel
bass is 100 in. it is claimed this sys-
tenn CT spring suspension gives the
effect Of a wheelbsse much longer
The radiator is standard Overland
though slightly smaller. The body is
streamline with removable upholstery
The engine Is 1-2 by in. and
reaches the peak of its power curve
at 1000 +. p. IN. Though it is 13 per
coat smaller than the Ford engine it
is scid to produce So psr cent more
power, since the Ford engine peaks
at 120C The transmission is a two
speed sliding gear, and a convention
81 clutch is used An entirely original
franc is used, and the cross mem
bers are supplied by the running
board supports, which are stiffened
by the steel battery box that liesI
list inside the frame under the front

The gasoline tank hangs under the
scwl on three-point suspension. All
