Time menibers are provkled with railroad ' transportation when they conic to Omaha r to attend the meetings at the executive committee or on other omcial bushiiess , and are tendered various other courtesies In recognition of their position. But a num- her of them have exhibited a marked disinclination - inclination to do anything mora than take an occasional pieaBur trip to Omaha at the expense of the exposition. When there Is any work to ho ( lone him the localities that they are supposed to represent they arc not to be depended on. It has frequently - quontly happened that requests have been ' Eent to members to attend to sonic minor matters in their home towns. The vork not .ono , anI some itme after the Incident ns closed replies wore received suavely announcing that they had been too I busy to ntted to the matter. This lack of interest ha been very forcibly In cvi- deuce in connection wIth time scheme to bring ln excursions of children from various sections of the state. The management has eaheavorcd to obtain some estimate of the nuiiber of children In each city who might be expected to attend through time patronesses , but very largely without re- suit. The patronesses have also been asked to see that matters pertaining to local S participation In such events were givoim uubhiclty In the local press , but this Is another - other case In which the women were too . busy to (10 anything. Consequently it has been necessary to do all the preliminary work troni the Omaha headquarters , when much better results might have been oh- ' 4 ttned with a more vigorous co-operation ' ? on the part of the out-of-town members.

Tim navy exhibit In time government buhldlt contains a varIety of instruments of comnmnomi misc In nautical servIce , hut which fcw of the western veople who visit the exposition are familiar with. As a rub time attentlants are ready to give the most exhaustive descriptions of these ar- tides atul their Uses , but there is one piece of umaval apparatus in regard to whtclm they are hopelessly tongue-tied. Tlmis Is the range fintlor now in imse In the American navy. uhmich is exhibited In a glass case , together with various other nautical paraphernalia. The operation of this instrument is ra- garded as a state secret , nail the olflcers assort that in spite of time numerous alleged - loged cxlLtnations that have been pub- halted of its method of working the real secret Is not known outside of the navy. It is time Invcnthon of a United States naval omcer , amid it is stated tlmat Up to date no one otttstdc of Uncle Samn's service hums beemm elmie to discover how it Is operated. Timis was what one of the otilcerim itm charge of tIme exhibit told a visitor ycster- day , and lie went on to say that It wouid lie worth millions to any foreign govern- macmit to learn the secret of this Inven- tion. Many efforts have bcn mmmdc to penetrate the secret. but without success , anti its knowledge gives th American navy an alvammtngo that has been to , ribly hums- trated during the recent eimgntentents. "It Is a fact , ' ' said time oiflclal mentioned , 'tlmat no other navy line any means of timid- lag the range that tines not lmmvolve a mathematical calculatiomm. Timla implies a goui ( heal of tinie lost , and in most eases tlmey thud it quicker to get time range by actual experitmment. The Sianiards. for in. stmummce , have to tire several simots before they can get time range of one of Uncle Sam's slmips. If their first shdt fails short. they try again ani then they are apt Lo overshoot - shoot and by that time time positions of time vesselut mummy have been altered and they arc still at sea. Meanwhile the oflicer him the commiming tower of tlmo Anmerican ship has located them almost exactly with this In- strurnent amid reported the range by telephone - phone to the various guim cnptatna. This has emily consumed a few seconds and wimhie thmo Spaniards are still trylng to get their range the shells from the American guns are sweeping their ( leeks. "Time peculiar thing about the instrument - . ment , " conthmmued tbe otflcor , "is tlmat while It is one of the simplest timings in the world to anyone who knows its secret , the most expert mechanic or inventor mIght examine it as bug as he wanted to anti still be Unable to discover how It work3. TimIs is one reason why representatives of othmer navies have been completely baffled In their efforts to fimid it nut. They have range finders of their own , but none that give the same instantaneoumB and accurate rcsults. And as bug as they can be kept. in the dark we vhli be able to outshoot any natIon on eartim , evcmm If timero was imo difference in the skill of time gunners. " Timere Is another advantage In time use of the instrument wlmlch amounts to con- elderable In the course of half a dozeim navai engagements. It costs 1,360 to tire a pair of 13-inch guns once. If the Span- nrd.s go lnt.o ; light they must fire at least two shots to secure the range. Frequently these do mmot answer , and they go on shooting - ing $680 charges ha the air , while every poummd of powder that goes into a UnIted States gun is UtIlized. The abhlty of the American gunners to obtain time exact position - tion of the enemy before a gun Is tired saves thousands of dollars in ammnuniton In every engagement , and this would ar.mount to a considerable item in case of a prolonged - longed war.
