HUGE WIRE NET FOfi
HARBOR PROTECTION
Kept In Position After Nightfall When
Submarine* Can't Be Deteoted.
New York. — When the diplomatic
break with Germany came one of the
hurried measures taken to protect New
York harbor from submarine attacks
was the construction of a heavy wire
net
The net, which will be lowered across
the channels entering this harbor and
kept in position after nightfall, when
submarines cannot be detected by spe
cial methods of observation, Is similar
to those which have been used in Eng
lish harbors to keep submarines from
preying on ships riding at anchor.
The heavy wire for the net was ob
tained several weeks ago. More than
two miles of netting will be used. It
will be stretched between Sandy Hook
and Roekaway point, crossing the three
channels — the Swan, the Old Main
Ship channel and the Ambrose channel.
During the day when torpedo boat
destroyers, aeroplanes and a mosquito
fleet, which will be created for the pur
pose, are sufficient to make It Impossi
ble for any undersea craft to approach
the harbor undetected, the net will be
lowered so as to permit vessels to pass
through the channels. From sunset to
sunrise the net will be raised to bar all
Ingress for submarines at any depth.
TESTS SHOW CRICK SHOTS
IN UNITED STATES NAVY
Gunners of Atlantic Fleet Never
Before Showed Such Profi
ciency In Target Practice.
Washington.—Data made public re
cently by the navy department show
that at no other time In Its history
has the marksmanship of the United
States navy been so good as It is at
present. The new superdreadnaught
Nevada gave an example of the gen
eral shooting efficiency of the Atlantic
fleet. In the recent target practice
this ship fired fifty-six shots from her
fourteen inch guns, and the target at
varying ranges was smashed forty
three times, a record that Is believed
to equal, if not surpass, any record
with similar guns in any other navy.
On the Nevada three gun pointers in
nine shots with fourteen inch guns
made a record of nine hits, on the New
York nine gun pointers made six hits
in six shots, on the Oklahoma three
gun pointers made seven hits in nine
shots, on the Pennsylvania eight hits
in nine shots and on the Texas six hits
Ui six shots, and all with fourteen Inch
guns at long ranges. Out of slxty-slx
shots fired from the twelve Inch
guns of the dreadnaughts sixty-four
were hits, while with eight Inch guns
the record of the champion gunners
was twenty-two hits In twenty-four
shots.
With seven Inch guns the best record
was fifteen hits In sixteen shots, while
the champion gun pointers of the four
Inch guns hit the target thirty-nine
times In forty shots.
NEW RECORD WITH RIFLE.
Head of Hawaii Militia Makea 286
Pointe Out of 300.
Honolulu, T. H.—Brigadier General
Samuel I. Johnson, head of the nation
al guard of Hawaii, shooting over the
"expert course" at the national guard
target range on Punchbowl, near Hono
lulu, recently made a score of 266 out
of a possible 800 points. This was three
points better than the previous record
high mark of 283, made recently by
Sergeant James H. Burns of A com
pany, Twenty-fifth United States In
fantry.
In practice shooting General Johnson
several times exceeded 290, but these
scores were not given official records.
Being a general, Johnson Is not re
quired by the regulations to do target
practice, but does It for the sport and
to encourage the men.
EXPLORING BY AEROPLANES.
War Department Fleet May Reveal Un
known Areae of Hawaii.
Honolulu.—The aeroplane fleet short
ly to be established by the war depart
ment near Honolulu may well be the
means by which Important discoveries
may be made upon the island of Ha
waii, a large area of the southeastern
portion being as yet wholly unexplored.
Lying as It does within the radlUH of
a major volcanic zone, but covered
with trackless forest, it Is extremely
probable that several hitherto un
known craters whose existence has
long been suspected may be located.
No less than fourteen extinct volca
noes have been discovered In this re
I gion within recent years, and all these
are accessible over well made trails,
adding greatly to the Interest of the
district.

ME TESTED FOB
FLOTATION
Upon jreliablo authority \ve are
informed tliat while in Whitehorse
last week, testing the ores j from
the Conrad district, W. H. New
Ion, the j oil flotation expert for the
Laklnaw & Tagish Mines Co., mad
fh<? statement to a prominent cop
per mine owner of the Whitehorse
^ia^rict, that an oil flotation plant,
with a capacity of 100 tons(of oro
per eacii 24 hours, could be put in
here at an approximate ,cost of
?20,000, and that such a plant
could be placed in operation, within
90 days from the time of the com
mencement (of work.
Mi. Newton further said that the
ores of all mines now operating in
N'e Whitehorse district, with, the, ex
ception of one, which carried j too
many kinds of minerals, could be
floated without trouble at a treat
ment cost [of from 80c. to .1.1-25
per ton.—Whitehorse Star.
Presidential Candidate#.
Both political parties liuve a habit
of selecting comparatively poor men
for president. In this generation there
has not be«i a rich presidential candi
date—at least nut rich as defined by
the American lexicon.
Roosevelt is the richest Republican
who was ever president or Republican
nominee for a sojourn In the White
House. Wilson, Taft, McKinley, Cleve
land, Harrison, Garfield, Grant, Arthur,
Hayes, Johnson and Lincoln were not
rich.
Nor were the nominees, including
Bryan, Blaine and Hancock, possessed
of great fortunes.
Samuel J. Tilden, however, was an
exception to the general rule. He
was a millionaire and was much the
wealthiest nominee of either party
since before the civil war. In fact, he
was the richest man who ever ran for
president with any hope of getting the
office.
Washington was a rich man for his
day, but his wealth wa3 far less than
that possessed by Tilden.—Girard in
Philadelphia Ledger.
Near Chartres, France, in 1339, a ter
rific storm fell on the army of Edward
III. The large hailstones caused so
much suffering among the soldiers and
horses that Edward was obliged to
conclude a peace.

T HAS BEEN Demonstrated
that when a man has some
thing to sell worth selling his
success is assured by letting
the people know about it.
Many business enterprises that should be
prosperous die of neglect because the
public attention and interest have not
been stimulated and attracted to the wares
No matter what it may be if it is reason
ably priced and good in quality your
success is assured by intelligent adver
tising and plenty of it.
