REVOLVER INVENTED BY BOY
Idea Of Deadly Small Arm Was Born
In the Brain Of Fourteen
Yeer.Old Runaway.

The revolver that until the invention
Of the automatic pistol, was the most
deadly small arm known TO man, was
born OF the brain Of fourteen.year-
old boy, SaIuel Colt. Colt ran away
from school aud shipped on board a
merchant vessel bound for the East
Indies. He had good deal OF idle
time on his hands once the ship was
well at sea, and long period Of calm
weather followed its movements. He
began 20 seek an outlet for his active
Imagination and mechanical urge. He
attempted various things 20 aid sailing.
but without any great success. He
then took to planning pistol that
would shoot several times with a
single load. lie had only bits of wood
and Jack knife to work with, but be-
fore the voyage was over he had cut
out a model for q revolver very slmi-
lar TO the pattern still In use.
Once at home again, he went to
work in his fathers factory, but the
revolver idea was still In his head, and
he worked at It from time to time un-
ill he was twenty-One. At this point
his experiments had so far ADVANCED
that he asked for and obtained patents
in America and European countries.
A sock company was organized, and
from this humble start the great Colt
arms factory was begun. and the re-
vnlvcr put ON market that soon car
ricd it around the world.

SCIENTISTS HOLD TWO VIEWS
Are Not in Accord In Their Explana.
ton Of Origin Of the Planetary
System.

Scientists explain the origin Of our
planetary system In two ways. one
Of these Is the familiar ncbuar hy-
pOthesiS Of LapaCc. The other is the
panetcSmal theory Of Professor Moul-
ton, which is probably the most cor
rect one. According to This theory
our planetary system was originally
a vast spiral uchulae. The planets
were formed by uccrctiouS uf matter
IN the spirals of the nebulac. our
earth and its satellite, the moun We're
formed in this way. The moon being
Il smaller accretiOn Of matter, was
naturally attracted by the earth, which
was possessed Of enough gruvltatlon
to hold the moon. The moon there
fore is not a child Of the earth, but
speaking in everyday pariaHce we
might call Il an adopted child. This
theory explains great deal that the
nebular hypothesis does not. There
are vast numbers Of such spiral neb-
ulae in the heavens, indicating that
this is natures accepted way Of ere
ating new worlds, and il Is for these
reasons that | accept this view Of the
Formations Of the earth ana the moon.

for the United States to be prepared TO
defend and maintain such policies as in
her best wisdom she may determine up

Adequate shore stations are equally
as important as war vessels, because the

RAPS PACIFIC
STATUS QUO IN
NAVAL BASES
POindexter Says u. S. FOrtifi-
cations Slight Compared
With japanese.
DEFENSE NEEDS CITED

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.--It would be
sheer folly for the American Government
to consider any proposal by Japan that
her acceptance of the $50 naval ratio
be contingent upon the maintenance Of a
status quo in Pacific Notifications. Sena-
tor Poindexter, Republican, Washington,
ranking member OF the Senate Naval At
fairs Committee and a widely recognized
authority on naval problems, declared to-
day
Mere agreements, as was found in the
case Of Belgium, are poor securities of
naval defense was the warning voiced
by Senator Poindexter as he pointed out
that Japan already possesses three great
complete naval bases on the Pacific, while
the United States has not one completed
there
1--WE have not even on the Atlantic
coast q complete naval base equal to
one or more possessed by JAPAN" he
said.
PACIFIC INTERESTS
REQUIRE DEFENSE PLAN.
an view of our very important posses
sions i1 the Pacific, reaching close to the
shores of Asia. it Is necessary for US to
maintain our sea power there unless we
are determined to submit our desttnies
to the mercy Of rival powers.
This is true whether there is a reduc-
ton or a limitation Of ornaments or not
since the same factors would enter
the relative situation we would be con
fronted with"
cit must not be forgotten that Japan
has three great complete naval bases i
the Pacific at Kure. Yokosuk3 and Sase-
boz Senator Poindexter said. "In addi-
ton. she has five minor bases suitable
for limited accommodations and repairs
for her naval vessels.
ION the other hand, the United States
has no complete naval base either upon
the mainland or in the islands Of the
Pacific. At Mare Island, Puget Sound
and Pearl Harbor we have navy YARDS
but between them there IS only one dry
dock adequate for fully armed and
equipped battleships Of the largest type.
Suffice it to say that the facilities
in the japanese yards are many times
superior to those Of the United States In
the Pacific.
