To hoc a thirteen inch gun loaded and tired is it sight not to bo forgotten. The projectile is thirteen inches in diameter, about three feet la length flail weighs 1,100 pounds. The powder Charge for target practice is 2.">0 pounds. The cost for each shot Is about $500. When ail is ready on the range the signal siren Rounds, there Is n blinding Hush, n roar like thunder Hnd a jarring shock. Then you hear the whining screech of the shell, for all tlie world like a fast express round ing a sharp curve. The projectile Is visible almost from the time it leaves the gun. You see It rip through the target and strike the water beyond, throwing up n column of liquid many feet high. The shell skips, much like the flat stone “skipper” of our boy hood, unit lignin a column of water shoots np two miles or more further out, to he repented time and again. The shell In Its llight can tie watched without the aid of glasses for eight | miles or more In clear weather. 1 While the life of a sailor, from cap- . tain down to apprentice, Is an nlinost [ continual round of work, some time Is found for athletic sports, such ns boat racing, football and hnsehall. The object of this Is to give the men roc- I real Ion and at the same time to foster the spirit of competition. Besides, It makes the men easier to manage. The ship with a strong football or baseball team or the fastest race boat almost invariably tins a happy and easily managed crow—a crew that will swear tlmt Its officers are (lie finest men In i ttie world, and likewise the officers swear by such a crow. Some ships have training tables for their athletic teams, the expense usually being de frayed by tlie officers. The team or boat crew, as the ense may tie. Is petted by the officers and Idolized by the crow, and for some time before « hard contest tlie men nr« excused from various duties In order ttiat they mny give more time to training. Every battleship and cruiser tins its race boat, purchased by contributions from officers and men. The prices paid for these boats Is, as a rule, contingent upon Iheir winning certain specified races. The builders are willing to take a chance, knowing that, the crow will do Its host to win. For a winning boat the price Is often as much ns $1,000, while for n hont Hint proves less speedy the builder will accept $500 or less. On tlie result of n fleet boat race ns much as $;t().iNN) lias been known to change hands, and large sums are also wagered on baseball and football games. This Is, of course, contrary to the totter of the regulations; but the ■porting Instinct Is IIS strong In the navy us elsewhere—and It Is not always possible to bold down tho lid.—Leslie’s Weekly. The Last Mn.lcThnt Theodore Thoa- na llenrd on Earth. 1 airing the Inst Illness of Theodore Thomas, although he was not nt any time unconscious or delirious, ho hard ly noticed the members of his family ns they came and went nt the bedside. Blit one morning he seemed to be bet ter. Ho made little Jokes with the doctors nml his sons nml talked about his White mountain home. At 12 o'clock he seemed tired. The editor of Ills autobiography says Unit he sunk into u dreamy state, and then roused him self to say to his wife In u lingering, ecstatic voice: “I have had a beautiful vision—a beautiful vision”’ Then he drifted off Into silence. His wife thought he was tired and went downstairs to luncheon, but chief- | ly with ihe purpose of leaving him to i rest. He hnd given her n chime of . hells, to be used In summoning tlie futility to meals, and because of his 1 Illness they had never been rung in the house. Now, because he seemed so much better, she played on them n lit tle bugle call that came Into her bend. | “Ho you know wind you have play- : rd?” asked one of the family. “Taps— the rail that Is sounded over the graves of dead soldiers.” Stie rushed back to the bells and played tho cull engraved on n metal | plate above them. Afterward she | found ttiat tills was reveille, the sol- ' dler*s signal to rise. So It had clmnced that tho last mu sic Theodore Thomas heard on earth liml been symbolic of denth and the resurrection.—Youth's Companion.

J., to the St. Louis Globe-Democrat says: The plan announced by State Road Commissioner Hutchinson when he took office— that no further state aid la road building would be extended to those counties which neglected to keep their roads In repair— lias been produc tive of gratifying results. The com missioner suys the plan u-orks like a charm. More money Is now being ap propriated by the counties for road re pairing than for building new ones. Monmouth has appropriated $42,000 for the yeur, Burlington about the samo amount, Essex $60,000, Passaic $50,000, and so on. Commissioner Hutchinson regards this as the complete solution of a problem which has for years dis turbed the minds of all Interested la road Improvement Th.
