Most Rapid Photographs Ever Taken.

''S~s 's~f'S 'SsNS'uf'S -NS'
The most remarkable set of speed
photographs ever taken are a part of
the war departments exhibit in Ma
chinery Hall at the Panama. Pacific In.
ternational Exposition, San Francisco.
They are pictures of a shell from 12-
inch coast defense gun in fight, the
set including the various phases Of
the flight beginning just as the great
projectile pokes its nose out of the
muzzle of the gun.
The pictures were taken with a
lens having an exposure period Of
one five-thousandth of a second, this
being the fastest shutter ever manu-
factured. The exposure at the proper
time in the flight of the projectile
was made by breaking an electric cir.
cult in a wire stretched across the
trajectory at the desired point and
connecting with the shutter.
One picture shows the shell half
way out of the muzzle before any
smoke and gas has escaped. Another
was taken when the shell was two
feet from the muz2le but hidden by
heavy ring of smoke. A third shows
the shell in flight hundred feet from
the muzzle. The photographs are so
perfect and the exposure so rapid that
scarcely any blur is perceptible. They
were taken at Fortress Monroe, Va, un-
der the direction of Capt f. J.
Behl OF the coast artillery corps and
head of the department of enlisted
specialists at the Coast Artillery
school at Fortress Monroe.

is that the Kansas City once has

Is Adopted Reported That
Chill VIII Follow

Rio Janerio, May 28.--The Brazil
ian Chamber today passed the first
reading Of the government measure
revoking Brazil's neutrality in the
war between Germany and the Uni
ter States. The vote was 1856 to 8.
The leaders of the principal poll
teal fractions declared that they

because they felt confident that Par
lament would complete the measure
ty revoking also, in favor Of the En-
tente, the country's declaration Of
! eutrality and thereby permit Brazil
to take sides with the Entente
against Germany.
Tins declaration brought forth en-
thusiastic applause.
The measure under consideration
by the Brazilian chamber was draft
ed by the committee on foreign re-
lation. It recommends the cancella-
ton Of the DEGREES Of April Is, 1917
which declared the neutrality Of
Brasil in the war between Germany
and the United States.
Under the bill, President Braz ID

Petrograd, May %, via London,
May 29.-The industrial crisis in
Russia is so acute that according to
q recent utterance of the minister
Of finance, M. Shingaroff, only a
miracle can save the country from
economic ruin. The demands of thu
workmen were SO enormous, he de-
cleared, that it seemed impossible to
keep the industrial wheels going for
any great lenght Of time.
The Socialist ministers, 1T = re-

the only possibility they saw Of
settling the difficulty was to bring
the war to close.

Italians AreStiu Steady
Advancing Towards
Trieste
Heavy Guns Taken By Them
Yesterday--Scveyc Aerial
Fights Reported On the
French and British Fronts

On the Carso plauteu, just above
the head of the Gulf of Triest, the
Italians have smashed their way
across the Timavo river and captur-
ed the village of San Giovanni, a
scant two miles northeast of Duino,
fashionable watering resort on
the railroad skirting the Gulf Of
Triest and leading into Triest. Nine
e-inch guns fell into the hands Of
the Italians when they captured the
village and they soon will be used
against the Austrians, as their con-
dition is described as excellent.
To the north, in the vicinity of
Jamiano, the Italians have captured
fortified Austrian trenches and
slong the Julian front have made
further gains and consolidated posi-
tions previously taken. The Aus
trians war Office asserts that Sun
days attacks by the Italians near
.'amino were repulsed and that near
Castagnievizza attempts at an ad-
vance by the Italians failed. It ~
serts also that the Italian casualties
have been very heavy, the ground
before the Austrian positions being
covered with Italians dead. More
than $4,000 unwounded Italians had
been captured up to Sunday says the
statement, 1000 of them having
been made prisoners on the Carso
plateau.
British airman are continuing to
operate extensively against the Ger.
mans on the front IN France. Twelve
German machines were destroyed in
flights in the air Monday and ten
others were sent to the ground out
of control. Another machine fell vic
tim to British anti-aircraft guns.
Three British machines failed to
return to their base. Dealing with
Sundays air fighting, the German
war Office says German airmen shot
down twelve airplanes and two cap
tive balloons.

WHAT OTHER SPECIAL ADVAN-
TACES DO THESE BONDS
POSSESS?

They are nontaxable. If your city,
county, and State taxes are three
mills on the dollar, not unusual
tax, these bonds are equivalent to
ordinary bonds or other investments
bearing 6 IL per cent.
In addition, no Federal tax which
war conditions will later make nec-
essary will affect these bonds. The
only taxes these bonds are suject' to
is the inheritance tax, which applies
to all property Of all kinds whatso-
ever.

THE REAL LOYALTY.

day. And if a negro can con-
scientiously utter such SEN
tences, the white man who can
not acquiesce to them should be
heartily ashamed of himself,
and hide his face. Roscoe Conk-
ling Simmons, a negro, nephew
of the colored educator, the late
Booker Washington, a man of
culture and refinement, spoke
the following eloquent words at
a meeting Of his own race in
Louisville, Kentucky:
"We have a record to defend,
but no treason, thank God, to

IT CANNOT BE.

It cannot be that the earth
lis mans only abiding place. It
cannot be that our life is mere
bubble cast up by eternity to
float a moment on it's waves and
then sink into nothingness. Else
why is it that the glorious as
pirations which leap like angels
from the temple of our hearts
are forever wandering unsatis-
fed? Why is it that all the stars
The Redwood gazette., 1917-04-11

that hold their festival around
the midnight throne are set
above the grasp of our limited
faculties, forever mocking us
with the unapproachable glory?
And, finally, why is it that
bright forms of human beauty
presented to our view are tax
en- from us, leaving the thou
sand streams Of our affections
to flow back in Alpine torrents
upon our hearts? There is a
realm where the rainbow never
fades; where the stars will be
spread out before us like islands
that slumber in the ocean, and
where the beautiful beings
which now pass before us like
shadows will stay in our pres
ence forever.
