MAKES NEW TYPE OF GUN
English Manufacturer Produces
Weapon With One Barrel Above
Other Instead Of Side by Side.

A prominent gun manufacturer In
England has recently produced a dou-
ble-barreled shotgun having one barrel
above the other, instead of the two be-
ing side by side, says Popular Me-
chanics Magazine. This arrangement,
1t is claimed, offers considerable advan-
tage in aiming, for the hunter Is not
confused by a barrel either side the
line of aim. The breadth of the dou-
BILE barrels reduced by more than one
half, thus permitting the game to be
seen up to the moment of firing.
The fore end of the stock is so fash
Toned that it fills the left hand and
allows a firm grip to be obtained, while
the arrangement of the barrels brings
that hand well below the line of vision
when aiming. The gun is equipped
with a single trigger and a special
lock which make possible a light pull
off, If desired.

A Saurian Survival.

The dingonek, says j. A. Jordan in
the Wide World, Is a huge, unclassiied
aquatic monster. 1t resembles, In
many of its characteristics, the extinct
dinosaur, a huge reptile Of the Meso-
zoic period, fossils of which have been
discovered by psychologists In the
sandstone strata both of the African
and American continents.
1t lives in Lake Victoria Nyanza
and its numerous tributaries, and
there is no record of the monster hav-
ing been e in any other part of the
world. Whether 1t Is a descendant of
n of the huge prehistoric saurians
that has by a process of adaptation
living as 1t does In impenetrable re-
gions far away from the encratch-
ments of civilized man-continued
with but slight notifications through
prodigious ages to the present time, OF
whether 1t is an unclassified reptile
or amphibian, 1t is equally impossible
to say, as no specimen exists either
of its bones or Of its skin. That this
monster does exist, however, there can
be no particle Of doubt, as the testi-
mony of authoritative eye-witnesses
cannot be reasonably discredited.

WILL NEED METRIC SYSTEM
United States Will Find Adoption Of
New Measurements More impor-
tant After War, Is Claim

When the war is ended we shall
have greater need than ever before
of an international standard of
weights and measures, says the Amer
lean Penman. The continent of Eu-
rope and South America use the meter,
the gram and the liter. 1t is absurd
for us to use the metric system for our
money and yet cling to the archaic
yard" pound" and gallon" These
terms are Anglo-Saxon traditions,
childish in these days.
The growth of our large cities has
almost destroyed the old-time exact
appreciation of weights and measures
by our people. The latest generation
in the cities does not know what a
''bushel, - peek" or quart" actually is,
nor do they know correctly what q
gallon quart" or pint" is. Per-
haps only Automobiles can visualize
a gallon pint in a big city means
a queer, varying quantity of liquid
held in a bottle or pail. This quantity
is rarely an exact pint.
The city population buys Its vege-
tables and fruit supplies mostly by
basket" or bag" without any regard
to the old dry measure" of the arith-
metics. One Of the queerest habits
that has grown up in cities is the buy
ing of such things as sugar and flour
in packages of "3h pounds" each.
We have chung to the pound with
some intelligence-because 1t is a vital
necessity in the absence of the more
scientific "gram," and the "mile"-in
sheer necessity because we have not
yet the international "kilometer."

AGAIN THE WILD WEST
ALONG THE RIO GRANDE

IHE hlU NhANDL
The entire scene had all the color
of the old West.
SO we read in a dispatch from Pre-.
sidio, Texas, published yesterday. All
day rumors that Villas forces woulj
o the river and raid American
stores were circulated, until residents
were almost panic-stricken. Even the
native Mexican element, which rarely
becomes alarmed at such reports, was
badly frightened.
Villa has broken OUT again; has
captured Ojinaga, just across the
boundary line from Preside. Colonel
George T. Langhorne, commander of
the Big Bend district, arrived and
ordered every one to remain at his
post for the night. Old army officers
declared the night to have been the
most tense since the Columbus raid,
AN American scout saw three we'll
dressed civilians led out of Ojinaga at
dawn today, taken to the river bank
and shot by a detachment of Villa
soldiers. Several of the bullets fired
by the execution squad fell on the
American side of the river"
Chestnut! you may say and per-
haps you are right. 1t does sound
like something we have read before.
Still, it is news; it is an event of to-
day. The Wild West remains some
what wild along the Rio Grande--
that's whatever. There is a little
strip of $50 miles of border country
down there "a Sector" the soldier
men call it-where you are probably
letter off with a gun than without n
always providing you know how TO
shoot straight.
That sector, along with another
thousand miles or so, was once gov
erned, or regulated, or policed, by
what has been called the most eff
cient body of policemen the world
eve knew-the Texas Rangers. En-
forcement of law was taken in deadly
earnest by those men, and sometimes
we even wish that more of their spirit
had survived. They delivered the
goods"
And all this leads up to notice of the
fact that today The Silver State begin
the publication of Zane Grey's great
novel of the border during the early
70s', entitled "The Lone Star Ranger"
Zane Grey is an authority on such
matters, and it does not seem to him
to be too late to write a Wild West
story. Harper Brothers did not con-
slider that the publication of it was
utimely. Events of yesterday e 20
prove that it is a mighty timely thing.

to some extent. 1t doesn't have to be

seems-like starting with a 20 brand.
Perhaps he will kill somebody else IN
