Washington, April 24-The old ma
wy dynamite" cruiser Vesuvius, in
Spanish war days hailed as the pos
sible pioneer craft of a new naval era
for the world, as behen sold as junk
to J. Lipsitz of Celsea, Mass, for
$4,000. Like many other novel craft
which were expected to sweep all bat
tleships from the seas as the Merria-
mac and Monitor wrote the doom of
wooden hulls, the dynamite ship"
failed utterly and was discarded. The
naval records of all countries are full
of such experimental craft. a..
The Vesuvius did see real work. In
1898 when the American feet concen-
trated before Santiago de Cuba to
bottle UP the trapped Battle craft Of
Spain, she steamed down to join the
grim ring of steel with three slant
ing, slender muzzles of her dynamite
guns thrusting upward from the
sweep of her forward deck. From
these queer looking weapons, operat-
ed by compressed air, huge projectiles
loaded with nitro-glycerine charges
sufficient, it was thought, to tear
apart any ship or fertilization on
which they landed, were to be urled.
The ship itself must be aimed at the
target at short range, owever, as the
"guns" were immovable in the decks.
Wild conjectures filled the newspa-
pers as to the terrible damage these
new engines of war would do to the

But it proved only to be sound.
When Santiago fell and examination
was possible, it was found that no
damage had been done to the old, old
forts and the ancient bronze guns that
filled their embrfasures.
The Vesuvius remained with the
fleet throughout the war doing patrol
and despatch boat duty. But imme-
diately after the war, in September,
1898, she was "decommissioned" new
er again to be rated as a fighting
ship. In 1907 she was again on the
active list, but with her dreaded "dy-

cording to Joseph Keyes, director of
rodent control of the United States
Biological Survey.
The work of rodent determination
will be extended into thirty counties
sof the state next year, and will in
clude pocket gophcrs as well as prat-
rie dogs, Keyes said.
1T is generally admitted that. it
costs one dollar a year to feed one
prairie dog" Keyes said, which
would make this years campaign
represent a saving of $3,O0O,00 to
the state of Colorado, minus the
trivial cost of the poison portion.
However, in our official report,
which probably errs a little on the
side of conservatism, it will be said
that the poisoning of the 100000
prairie dogs prevented destruction
of crops and damage to agriculture
to the extent of 100000"
Retirement into Information this
month of the prairie dog has brought
about Il period of inactivity in the
work of determination, during which
time plans will be completed for
continuing and extending the work
next year.

ing n pipe through the soil into his

CLEMENCEAU FIGHTS
TO A FINISH ALWAYS

PARIS. Nov. 15.-(A. P)-Gcorgcs
Clemenceau is charged by his enemies
with being heartless. He has never
shown any mercy to a powerful en-
emy; the fight was always to a finish
| Toward the weak, however, he has
been known TO be lenient.
After the court had sentenced young
| Coffin to death in 1919 for having
pumped seven bullets into the back Of
! the automobile in which Clemcnceau
was riding, two of which struck the
Tiger" he recommended that the
young anarchists sentence be COM
muted to term of Imprisonment.
How long shall we give him." the
minister of justice asked.
About ten years. said Clemenceau.
"In be dead and gone before he
comes out, in case he should like to
use me for a target again.
Coffin has now served nearly four
years of his sentence and, with time
allowance for good behavior he should
leave Jail about 1926.
Ciemenceau, in spite of the bullet
from Cottin's revolver which he still
carries between the shoulder blade
and collarbone. shows no signs of de-
parting from the world. He is in bet |
ter physical shape now than he was /
when the attempt upon his life was
made.
