1t is almost precisely 300 years since
the Pilgrim Fathers set sail from Ply

came actuated by that love of liberty
which had been handed down to them

How It BEGAN.

Customary figure as the boy scout
has become in the United States, Gen.
eral Baden-PowelI's visit added much
to American knowledge Of the move
ment. A good many newspaper read
ers were probably surprised to. learn
that it yves it's beginning to the Boer
war and the siege of Mafeking, with
out which it may be questioned wheth-
er there would be any boy scouts. In
command at Mafeking, General Baden
Powell looked far beyond the siege
and saw that a great and useful organ
ization of boys might be developed
from the corps Of boy messengers or
ganized to serve the forces holding
that hard-pressed town. That was the
beginning Of it, but the same force Of
character that defended Mafeking car
ried forward the boy scout idea until
it was generally recognized as a
project for character building rather
than encouraging militarism in the
young. Another bit Of information
that probably surprised many Amerl.
cans was that Baden-Powell is de-
scended on his mothers side from
Capt. John Smith.

BIG GUN NOT WORTH WHILE
American Ordnance Experts Could
Guido the Huns In savaoery, but
Are Not Likely To.

The. Hun 75-mile gun with which
Paris was harassed is doubtless still
regarded by many as evidence of the
much-advertised German mechanical
ingenuity.
Ordnance experts have long been
var Of the possibility of such a gun.
But they have also been aware of its
impractlcability owing to a lack of
means of controlling its fire effective
" in such dastardly work as Smelling
a great city regardless Of whom or
what was hit.
AS an object lesson u ordnance
department has designed, without
actually building. a supergun which
dwarfs the German machine into in
significance. The data, recently made
public through the Scientific Ameri-
can, fairly bewitches the lay mind.
The barrel Of the gun is 225 feet
long and weighs 1925 tons. The pres
sure developed is $4,000 pounds to the
square inch. The projectile has a
muzzle velocity of $500 foot-secSnds,
and develops the terrific energy Of
300, 900 foot-tons. It's range Is 121
miles, approximately the distance be-
tween Chicago and Madison, Wis. Its
time of flight Is four minutes, and 1t
scars heavenward to a height of 46
miles.
This Is awesome; but the %cold-blood-
ed expert points out that, after all.
the gun delivers only a 4O0-pound
shell, containing 60 pounds Of high ex-
plosive, and that such a gun would
cost S 2,50O,00O. A bombing plane cost
ing $4,000 would drop a 1,600-pound
bomb with greater accuracy Of aim.
The German supergun demonstrates
the savagery of the Hun-the Berseker
madness that strikes regardless of
whom it strikes. But it also demon
strates an intellectual weakness-the
love Of mechanism for mechanism's
sake. A complicated or difficult piece
of machinery captivates his admira-
ton because it Is complicated or diff
cult, regardless of its practicability.
With American genius, simplicity is
the desideratum. The mechanism, for
instance, Of the Browning automatics,
whether pistol, rifle or machine gun, is
astonishingly simple and practically
demountable by the fingers alone. One
looks at it and wonders why 1t wasn't
invented half a century since. And
right there one pays genius a high
tribute.

Historic Tree Now Only a Memory.
The tree in the road" a mile and
q half west Of Hartford, Mich, has
been cut down to clear the way for
a new concrete road. This maple tree,
supposed to be more than a hundred
years old, was the most famous and
most cherished landmark of the re.

road on the crest Of a hill, 1t had
from the time Of the Oldest %inhabitant
been used as a point from which all
distances Eel measured.

reluctantly concluded that the tree
can be dispensed with, since the only
distance people ask about now is the
distance between gasoline tanks.-Ex.
