The mission of our agricultural

Gun Has Sixty-MiIe Range.

In the course of experiments in the
last two years in an effort to produce
cannon that would fire a shell about
sixty miles NJ Delamare-NIaze built a
gun that upsets all preconceived ideas
about artillery, being open in the rear
as well as at the muzzle; the tube
and the breach part are separate and
remain apart even at the moment of
firing.
The explosion chamber Is narrowed
at Its forward end, and its external
diameter Is slightly less than that of
the bore of the barrel of the gun, so
that when pushed together they es-
cape touching by only a few MILL
meters. When the gases of explosion
expand they exert their forces upon
the projectile and are turned back
by 1t to escape through the space,
which separates the two parts
This backward rush produces q
force acting upon the projectile.

WILL FIGHT PETITION
Of R. R. COMPANIES
...once Will BE Held to Take
stans TO Combat Proposed Viola
ton of Long and Short
Haul Law

The chamber of commerce voted
&c meeting Tuesday to send rep
..ontatiyes to a meeting to be held
: walla Walla next Saturday, oc-
.ohor Is. to consider ways and means
: combating the application recent
:, filed by western railroad lines for
normission to violate the long and
.sort haul law. The conference is
o.lled by Paul F. Weyrauch, director
and member of the executive COM
;4.oo of the intermediate associa-
,ion One of the purposes of the
.onfarence will be to gather evidence
! nresent before the hearing to be
held in Spokane Decembr / and in
portland December 5. The Pullman
chamber will send two or three well
voyeed men to the conference, in
oluding H. Fl. Maynard, assistant pro-
fossor of business administration at
The State College.
In his letter asking the local boost
or organization to send delegates to
the Walla Walla conference Mr..
Weyrauch said, in part:
"The application that has recent
" been filed by the western railroad
lines for permission to violate the
long and short haul law is the most
severe threat ever made against the
business development of eastern
Washington. This application COW
ering hundreds of commodities will
come up for hearings, beginning No
vember II at Chicago and extending
throughout the West.
IF by chance the railroads are
successful every resident of eastern
Washington will be compelled to pay
higher discriminatory freight rates
and our business will lose hundreds
Of thousands of dollars.
Since we were fortunate enough
to secure terminal rates over three
years ago many lines have been de-
veloped to a great extent and in
many cases investments will be
ruined, 1t is important that our bus
mess men Immediately study this sit
uation and be prepared to testify
when the hearings are held in Spo-
kane December l or in Portland on

In describing the Cambria coal
field of Wyoming, an expert mentions
the interesting fact that gold and sill
yer are present in small quantities In
the coal. From the occurrence of iron
pyrite, which is distributed throughout
the coal seam, it is suspected that this
mineral carries the precious metals
The coke made from the coal is used
in smelling works. and averages from
one to two pennyweight of gold per
ton, which is sufficient to compensate
for a high ash content.
There has been a similar occurrence
in South Africa. The coal occurred
in small seams running through the
quartzite ore, and in places was quite
rich in gold, the ash being colored a
bright purple by the finely divided
particles of metal.

Romans plsapproved of Dancing.

OF all the amusements that we In
dulge In nowadays, perhaps dancing
is the oldest. Dancing seems to be one
of mans primitive instincts. The
Greeks were, perhaps, the greatest
dancers there have ever been. Some
of them held that the destiny of ma
tons depended on the rigorous atten-
ton given to dancing. The Spartans
made dancing necessary as a gym
nastic exercise; but the Romans dis
approved of II. mo one dances sober

of them. And they all considered II
was disgraceful for q free citizen to
dance, unless it were at a religious
festival. The early Christians prac'
ticed choral dances, although st, Au-
gustine is said to have objected. He
certainly said: at is better to dig
than dance"

Yacht Speed Fifty Years AGO.

In the course of some historical ar
ticles on the performance Of early
yachts, the Yachting World and Ma
rine Motor Journal gives some inter
esting details regarding the famous
schooner Alarm, Of 248 tons, built In
1890 at Huntington, England, as a l93-
ton cutter heightened and enlarged to
248 tons and converted to schooner rig
in 1852. In race of 80 miles against
the Swedish schooner Sverige, of 2SO
tons, the Alarm won by two minutes,
at an average speed of u knots. That
would be good going in these days for
a schooner of that size.

VICTOR HUGO IN OLD AGE
In His "reminiscences Saint Saens
Tells of Colossal Intellect Affected
by the Years.

Saint-Saens, the great composer,
in his Musical Memories" has some
interesting "reminiscences of Victor
Hugo, who was an old man when he
knew him, but who seemed rather
like an ageless and immortal being
whom time could never touch"
Time, alas! goes on, and that fine
intellect which had ever been uncloud-
ed began to give signs of alteration.
One day he said to an Italian delega-
ton. The French are Italians; the Ital-
ians are French. French and Italians
ought to go to Africa together and
found the United States of Europe
Victor Hugo's credulity was as.
tOnishing in a man of such colossal,
genius. Hearing that the remains OF
VOltaire and Rousseau had been eX-
humed and desecrated, he wrote a
wonderful account of it. When the
collins were opened, the two great
men were peacefully sleeping their
last sleep.
He believed in the most incredible
things, as the Man in the Iron Mask,
the twin brother of Louis XIV; in the
octopus that has no mouth and feeds
itself through its arms, and in the
reality of the japanese sirens which
the japanese were said to make out
of an ape and a fish. He had some
excuse for the sirens. as the Acade-
ME deS Sciences believed in them for
short time. Chicago American.

SCOUTS DO EMERGENCY WORK.

Boy scouts did noteworthy work
after the tornado disaster In the South
last spring. working tirelessly for
many hours, rendering first aid, search
ing for the dead, and removing the
wreckage. Local papers at the time
expressed the greatest admiration for
the pluck, energy and endurance Of
these young citizens pledged to serv-
ice of others at all times and under
all conditions.

Children Hold Future of Music

The future of music as an instru-
ment of culture lies with the children
of the people. Nowhere but in the
elementary schools can they be
reached Colleges of music are neces-
sary to train the professional, but the
education committees of the great
towns have the largely neglected OPP
portunity of making the rising gener-
alton a music-loving public. The In
nate faculty Of appreciation is there,
and is commonly diffused among
scholars of the most essentially indus
trial areas. 1t only needs direction
and cultivation, for one of the great
est pleasures to be added to the amen
tiles of town life, pleasures at present
so lamentably few. The main idea is
to teach the children how to APP
preciate and enjoy good music, how to
become intelligent listeners, rather
than to become performers them
selves.--Exchange.

NEW METHOD ID BE
 USED BY TEACHERS
Make It Sporting Proposition,
 Instead Of Study

Boston. April 27.-Teac ching science may become sporting proposition if new method of scientific education in the Junior High schools advocated by Professor Lymans C. Newell, head of the chemistry department Of Bos- ton university. is universally adopted Hockey, skiing. sailing, and other sports are used as the basis for teach ing scientific principles.
 Every boy knows he can't skate with dull skates. but he doesn't know much about the laws of friction" ;" says Professor Newell Practically every scientific principle can be con- nected up with the daily interests of the twelve to fourteen year old boy. Sports, fire engines. electric cars, burning building, his telephone, and his wireless apparatus may all be used as illustrations of the practical working of the laws worked out by scHnce.
 Meet the boy in his own world and introduce him to the larger world of science. Instead of blaming him for going to the movies, teach him about the lenses, images, sources of light and a hundred other things that make motion photography possible On rainy day, teach him why it rains. Take advantage of a thunder storm to tell him of static electricity. Don't stop 1ith mere information. Go on to the scientific principle in- volved."
 The same idea may be carried through from spring to winter, ac- cording to Professor Newell. A list of one hundred topics dealing with the boys natural interests in sports and every day happenings has been prepared by him and is to be tried out by the classes in The Teaching of General Science in the Junior High school which is being conduct ed at Boston university.
