FIRING BIG GUNS IS SCIENCE
often Out Of Sight Of Target
and Get Proper Range by Careful
Mathematical Calculations.

Today there is about as much differ
ence between aiming big gun and
aiming a rifle as there is between sail
ing a superdreadnaught and sailing q
steam yacht. Ii was not very long ago
however, that a gun was aimed SINH
larly to a rifle in that the direction in
which it was pointed was obtained by
sighting along It's barrel. But now
things are not done that way. The
gunners in the European war, for in
stance, are often far out Of sight OF
what they are shooting at, and the re-
markable hits that they make are only
explained by the use they make OF
careful scientific calculations.
To direct the fire of one Of the big
ger guns, for example, requires that no.
less than fifteen complicated correc-
lions be made, says Popular Science
Monthly. Each correction requires an
average of five adjustments, all OF
which must first be exactly figured our
by those in command The most i.i-
pOrtant corrections which are mad4'.
are for the influence Of the resistant o.
of the air, the influence of the cart s.
curvature, arc the attraction Of giT r--
ity on the distance the bullet may be
carried. In place of the guesswork Of
previous times is the use of the most.
advanced developments in the fields OF
mathematics, physics and chemistry

TO CHANGE TIME GRADUALLY
French Scientist Proposes Plan iSs
Place of That of Setting Clocks
Ahead an Hour in Spring.

Instead Of setting clocks an hour for
ward in spring and an hour backward.
in fall Professor LecOrbun suggests
to the French Academy of Scientists e.
simple method of making the change
gradually and with the seasons. This
consists of altering slightly the length.
of the pedulums Of clocks at the win
ter and summer solstices, so that be-
ginning with December 81, they would.
gain 30 seconds a day, and beginning
with June q, would lose 30 seconds a
day.
The effect of this would be that by
March p they would be 40 minutes
ahead and by June p they would be
1 hour and 80 minutes ahead. After
which the pendulums would Be
changed and the clocks would l@WD al
the same speed
Under such an arrangement watches
would have to be set forward or back
ward half a minute every night.

"Tanksv Not New.

An Irvington professor saw nothing
new in some of the machinery Of tbs
world war now employed on the west
ern battle line.
ancient Carthage" said the pro
fessor, FUSED tanks They differed
from the modern tanks in being al
alive. These were the elephants which
carried castles on their backs allied
with fighting men. Protected by armor,
these anci-nt tanks were invulnerable.
Thrown against infantry in the open
field, no troops could stand against
them. When they attacked fortified
camps they broke down the palisades
overturned everything and scattered
the enemy in a panic. At the battle of
Zama, ScipiO, to evade the elephant
tank danger, ordered that when the
monsters charged they should be ham
strung. No German commander mas as
yet ordered the modern tanks to be
hamstung. "-Indianapolis News.

"W.thin a fortnight OF the inception

with heavy fire, but nothing could

The government troops are said to

and ammunition and TO be capable Of
holding out for some days.
According to the informant OF the

stories OF wholesale looting and burn
ing there have been exaggerated.
There has been indiscriminatc firing
thruout the city. but aside from the
havoc at the Kremlin there has been
little damage done to property.
The loss OF life since the beginning
OF the insurrection is estimated at
from two thousand to five thousand.

hIlird Reinforcements
Reaching Italian Front.

LONDON. Nov. IG.-The British
correspondent accredited to Italian
headquarters In dispatch dated
Thursday says.
Allied relnforcements are reaching
Italy daily In increasing numbers. To
save waiting for trains on the con-
gested railway some French troops
have been brought over the Alps thru
the hnow-coversd passes. The al
lied troops are marching steadily for
ward to their appointed places In the
Italian scheme OF defense.
Both the British and French
troops are In high spirits. They are
delighted at the change In scene and
over the prospect OF n new adventure"
The Daily Mail correspondent at
Italian headquarters, under date OF
Friday. tells OF the grave difficulties
OF the Italian defenders on the Tren-
tlnO mountain frontier, where the
same troops day after day, resisting
the enemy without opportunity TO
rest, while the Austro- German, having
greater reserve, assault necessarily
with fresh and vigorous troops Never
theless, the correspondent adds, the
main bulwarks OF the defense remain
firm and presumably IL will not be-
long before the allied help makes
itself apparent.

Casualties Heavy.

LONDON, Nov. i6.-Thc situation
In Russia still is cloudcd by unccr-

cerning Kiev. where II was said the
Cossacks and military cadets had
gained control OF the city after con
siderable fighting during which the
leaders Of the recalcitrants were ar

In the hands Of the government troops

SUBMARINE ATTACK ON
u. S. COAST PREDICTED
Naval Architects Say U-Boat
Menace Far From Being
Eliminated.

NEW YORK. Nov. 16.-Predictlons
that enemy submarines will soon ap-
pear off American ports, that the
best antldote for the submarine and
that tho great world powers shortly
will have flotllas OF contra -subma
rihes" were made here today by
speakers who addressed the annual
convention OF the Society of Naval
Architects and Marine Engineers.
Simon Lake. the inventor. pointed
to the fact that but one British vessel
of more than 1900 tons was reported
sunk by German submarines last
week as an indication OF possible
danger TO American shores from the
submarine menace. He cited tho
transatlantic trips of the merchant
submarine Deutschland and the activ-
tides OF the U-53 off the north Allan
tic seaboard as examples of what IL
possible with the submarine. Com
mander Il. s. Land of the United
States navy took issue with Mr.. Lake
when the latter said he did not be-
lieve the submarine could be effect
lively used against tho submarine.
"A submarine can fight n subml-
rine as well as battlcship can fight
a battleship," said the commander.
Tho he said foreign tendencies in
submarine construction were toward
displacements OF from two thousand
to five thousand tons, Commander
Land declared his belief that the
craft OF the eight hundred ton type
are now being most generally built
because OF their adaptability for all
year use.
