Haw Warships Bring Their Guns to
Bear Upon the Ene-ty.
One of the moit Important instru
ments used uu a warship ia iLe range
finder, for withottf this instrument it
Is practlcaly lmirosslble to aim tbe
guns accurately without first Incurring
a serious delay in getting tbe range
by trinl shots.
Range finders all work on much the
same principle, images of the ship or
other object sighted on being received
through the two object glasses, one
located near each end and OR the side
of the tube, being reflected and refract
ed by a system of mirrors and prisms
so that both are brought to the eye of
the observer, who looks through the
eyepiece located at tbe middle of tbe
tube and on tbe opposite from the ob
ject glasses.
Tbe right hand object glass transmits
only the upper half of the object sight
ed on and the left hand object glass
the lower half. When sighting on n
ship, for example, the rigging and fun
nels will appear to be offset horizon
tally from the lower part of the ship,
so long as the instrument is not set
for the correct range. The Images are
then brought together by a thumb
screw that moves one of the prla «,
and this sets a scale that shows uie
distance In yards to the ship.—Pear

HE WAS "A LITTLE QUEER."
His Eooantrieity In the End Proved HHa
Own Undoing.
Rev. Mr. Hdgamore, to whose mem
ory is a slab in the church at Cats
boge, Leicestershire, England, was "a
little queer." It seems that the rev
erend gentleman died in January, 188G,
leaving all of hi* property, valued at
13,500, to a railroad porter.
This queer old preacher kept one
lervant of each sex. whom be locked
up every night His last employment
of an evening was to go the rounds of
bis premises, let loose the dogs and
fire off his gun.
He lost bis life In a curious manner.
Starting out early one morning to let
oat his servants, tbe dogs fawned upon
him and threw him lntxva pond of wa<
ter. The servants heard bis cries, but.
being locked up. conld not render as
sistance. so the old man -ms drowned.
When the Inventory of his property
was taken, he was found to be tbe
owner of 80 gowns, 100 pairs of trou
sers, 100 pairs of boots, 400 pairs of
shoes, 80 wigs (although he had plenty
of natural hair), 50 dogs, 96 wagons
and carts, 90 wheelbarrows, 240 razors,
80 plows. 00 saddles and 222 pickaxes
»nd shovels. He surely was "a little
flutter.'—London Standard.

Colonel Bunker
Br M. QUAD
Copyright mt, by the McClur*
N*wipap*r Syndicate.
"I was Just thinking, sub," said Colo
nel Bunker as be eat looking eut of th«
window—"l wae Just thinking of aa
Incident la my early career es a duel
ist. In fact, sub, when this thing cagit
about I had not yet drawn my rapiei
ou the field of honoh. In the southern
town where I flrst hung out my shin
gle as a lawyer were a dozen gay
bucks of young men, aad I waa one of
them. x
"We were sports, suh, We rede, w«
gambled, and we swaggered. We talk
ed about ottr honoh, and we took no
advice from our eldera.
"It was a wonder we kept dear of
the duello among our own selves, foi
we were hotheads. But destiny had
something laid up for us, and at tb«
proper time we learned what It was.
When a dapper little man dropped Into
the town one day and gave his nam*
as Professor Mayne and explained tint
he was something of a naturalist w«
had no Idea that his coat covered des
tiny.
"it was about a week after the pro
fessor's arrival, and none of us young
blades had made bis acquaintance yel
when six of us sat on the tavern veran
da of a summer's evening arranging a
fox hunt, when the stronger appeared
among us, nnd. looking directly at me,
he asked:
" 'May I have the honoh of asking
your name?'
"I gave It as Bunker, of co se.
" 'Bunker? Bunker?' he repeated.
'Did you evah spell It with an H?'
"'Suh! Bub! What do you mean?
" 'Was the name origluilly Junker?
"Egad. suh. the man wns deliberately
Insulting mo!
"1 always thought I carried things
off very well for a first time. I raised
my hut. bunded him my canLnnd turn
ed away. He received It With a bow
and also turned.
"There you were, suh—there you
were! A duel for sunrise was arranged
for within an hour, and I was a hero.
"Could a professor of natural his
tory handle a rapier like a young buck
who was always nt It?
"No. of co'se not, and I should play
with him. Should I kill or only wound
him? That question could wait and
be settled after the blades had crossed.
The most I had to fear, as my friends
told me and as I firmly believed my
self, was that the professor would ei
ther' Send an abject apology or sneak
away during the night. He did nei
ther, however.
"We talked the matter over, and all
tbe bucks thought I ought to run the
professor through the heart, and thus
at once establish my reputation, buf
I decided that a wound that would lay
him up about six weeks would do.
"It was only when tbe word had been
given and our blades had crossed that
I found out I had caught a tartar.
Why, suh, the professor ninije me look
like 15 cents! He disarmed me twice
in ten minutes. He could have killed
me during the next five, but he stayed
bis hand.
"At length, after hnmlllatlng me for
the best part of half an hour, he pink
ed me In the shoulder and I was out of
It. I wept bitter tears as the surgeon
dressed my wound. The young bucks
didn't know what to make of it, but
agreed that they must find excuse to
challenge the professor until some one
had lauded htm.
"Egad. suh. they didn't have to go
hunting far for excuses. He brought
them along and laid them at the feet
of those who waited. He stopped Dick
Bascomb on the street and politely said
to him:
" 'Suh, nature has made a mistake in
your case.'
" What do you mean, suh?* asked
Dick.«
" 'That your nose is screwed on
crooked.'
" 'Suh, you must answer for this in
aultr
" 'Yours to command.'
"A second duel, you see, suh, and
with the same weapons. I wasn't
there to see, but they told me that he
made a bigger monkey of Dick Bas
comb than he did of me. When he
had made a show of him long enough
be gave him tbe point in the same
shoulder he had me and walked away
whistling.
"We had a sensation In that town
now and for fifty miles beyond it. The
professor had made two victims and
was liable to make others, but there
wasn't mncb feeling against him nor
much sympathy for those who bad felt
his steel.
"Joe Beaumont was to be bis third.
It was rapiers again. I rode to tbe
grounds to see the duel. Joe went at
it from the flrst like a butcher with a
long knife and was disarmed every
other minute. He got so mad that ha
cried like a boy.
"It was the same old story—wounded
In the same shoulder.
"Three smart bucks. Three duels.
"Three arms in three slings.
"Three of us trying to explain why
It wasn't the other fellow who was
pfbked.
"It was humiliating, suh, and yet it
waa the proper 1 remedy. It broke up
the cabal and settled us down to take
a more serious view of life. As to tbe
professor, be wasn't a naturalist at all,
bnt a famous fencer, and I believe he
was hired by those who wished us well
to come there and administer the rem
edies our systems seemed to require.
"That's all. suh. and it's a fine day,
tub, and if—
But the waiter waa already bring

A Pertinent Query.
She wns leaving the city for home,
and by way of making her departure
pleasant for those who had served her,
gave a nickel to a chambermaid, say
ing. "Mnry, you taka a nice long car
ride."
The maid replied, "Yes, ma'am; thank
you. ma'am, but hew will I get back?'

A Suggestion
Miss Campbell had given up colored
servants for white, but when a near
relative of the family died she was
callM upon by her old colored maid.
"Ah come, Miss Sally,"' said the
maid, "to say dat now dat yo' is in
i molinin' yo' might want to take on a
black maid, missy, 'staid o' one 0' dem
white ones. Ef yo' does Ah's all
ready. "—Judge.
Merely Poirt of View.
It was about 3 o'clock, and the fad
ing light In the art gallery of the Pub
lic library was beginning to bother the
painter woman who faced the sunset
canvas with lumpy palette impaled on
one thumb and paint brush held hesi
tatingly in the other hand, while she
scrutinized again the Intricate blend
ing of sunset colors and backed away
a few steps farther to squint at the
perspective of the old whaler she was
copying as it lurched in painted waves.
Details of color blending, of light and
shade, of form after the fashion of a
painter's sensitive appreciation, un
doubtedly Oiled her mind.
Then came thumping along the pol
ished floor two other women. They
stood for a moment In silence in front
of the sunset picture. One of them
raised a thick, berihged hand and rub
bed the canvas with a slow, feeling
rob.
"AJn't It grand. Nellie?" she aald.
"An' all hand painted too."—New York
