A CARD TRICK
The Sequel to a Challenge to a Duel In
a Berlin Cafe
Sir
Well
You liavp been sinring at me
Not thru I aim aware ol
TIn youujr geutlitiiiin evidently i
student was nboil to retire with u
apology when Hit person addressed
a banker thought proper to add
You are altogether too insignificant
an individual for me to stare at you
Sir thit Is an insult I shall chal
lenge you Here Is my card
After a moments hesitation the
banker also gae up his card The
cards were inscribed us follows
Count Iotho von Fulsing student
or philosophy
Ernst Urunsehild banker
The seene occurred in a Berlin cafe
and the count at once took his de
parture After his excitement had
somewhat abated and he bad had time
to collect his thoughts Ilerr Gnm
sohild also left- Fearing lest his better
half might suspect something from His
looks he went straight to his place or
business and began to write letters to
his friends containing the customary
last farewell greetings In case he
should fall a prey to a vindictive and
quarrelsome opponent It was 7 p m
and the cashier called as usual to pre
sent his report Gruuschild ran his
eye listlessly over the balance sheet
Suddenly he gave a start
A thousand marks drawn for pri
vate use What does this meanV
Come this Is above a Joke
Have you forgotten Elerr Gruu
schild You were playing at the cafe
you know and lost a thousand marks
and as jou hadnt that amount on you
Count von Felsiug was good enough to
call for the money on his way He
showed me your visiting card in proof
of his statement
Grunschild hardly knew whether he
should go into a flt with vexation or
whether he should shout for joy He
had been done out of a thousand
marks but at the same time it was
off with the duel When he after
ward learned that the Imaginary stu
dent was a professional swindler he
was thankful to have got off so cheap

FLAG ETIQUETTE
Displaying the National Ensign at Half
Mast
There have been many mistakes
made about the etiquette of the tlag
When President William McKinley
was assassinated thousands of loyal
Americans raised flags at half mast
over their places of business aud let
them tly by night and by day until
they wore out They undoubtedly
thought they were showing respect to
McKinleys memory But they were
not showing proppr respect to the tlag
The United States government display
ed at that time its flags at half mast
from sunrise to sunset from the presi
dents death until his burial The gov
ernment regulations provide that on
the death of a president In office its
flag shall be displayed at half mast
only one day
In memory of the 350000 Union sot
diers who lost their lives during the
civil war May 30 Memorial day each
year the United States displays its Hag
at half mast at all army posts stations
and national cemeteries from sunrise
to midday Immediately iiefore noon
a dirge is played by the hand or field
music and ihe national salute of
guns is tired At the conclu
sion of this memorial tribute at noon
the flag is hoisted to the top of the
staff and remains there until sunset
The idpa is that the national ensign is
too sacred an object to be long In
mourning for any man or number of
men no matter bow exalted their rank
The tlag reversed with the union
down indicates distress The flag on
anything but a fort actually besieged
should never be displayed between
sunset and sunrise
When the Hag is to be displayed at
half mast It is lowered to that posi
tion from the top of the staff It is
hoisted to the top before it is finally
lowered Washington Post
She Sent It Back
There has always been a lot of give
and take in American womens social
adventures in England But American
women have spirit and If they have
taken a good deal they have given
back still more
An Englishwoman called on an
American countess in Belgravia
Oh I thought you were out Thats
why I called the Englishwoman said
in her sweet clear insolent English
voice
Well do you know I thought I was
out too the American replied My
stupid man must have mistaken you
for some one else
The Kickless Dog
I wonder why so many people in
sist on keeping dogs that are no
good
Well replied the proprietor of the
village hotel I always keep a few
dogs because its a comfort to see em
take their meals regular without kick
In even if they dont pay any board

85QO0 GUNS TO
LUST TO ROUNDS
Uncle Sains Armament For M
Dreadnoughts Expensive
mm FIGURES ENORMOUS
Two New Battleships Greater Thar
Entire American Fleet at Time ol
Spanish War Fourteen Inch Rifle
Largest In History of Worlds War
fare and Most Costly
At its last session the congress au
thorized the construction of two titanic
ships of war end stipulated that they
be armed with fourteen Inch rilles the
most powerful weapons yet construct
ed These guns cost SSoOOO each and
although it seems incredible yet It
Is no less true that under the excessive
pressures of battle conditions the life
of these expensive weapons is only
seventy rounds
The distinctive features of these
Dreadnoughts He in the tremendous
battery which they are designed to
carry and the increased size which the
increase in the weight and power of
the main battery has made necessary
The plans contemplate a displace
ment of about 27000 tons as agaiust
the 20000 of the Delaware and the
North Dakota Americas pioneer bat
tleships of the Dreadnought type
which were but recently commissioned
Graater Than 1898 Fleets
The united tonnage of the giant
twins is far greater than was our
entire battleship tonnage at the time
of the war with Spain Including even
the Maine whose destruction brought
about the war The fleet that block
aded Santiago was reckoned as a for
midable one in Its day the battle
line comprising the superb Iowa the
heavily armed and armored Indiana
Massachusetts and Oregon and the
hard lighting old Texas
So much for the size of the two new
vessels Turn now to their armament
The plans contemplate a battery of
ten fourteen lnch rilles for each ship
These weapons are by far the most
powerful ever constructed for any navy
greatly exceeding in range and hitting
power the twelve inch guns with which
the Delaware and the North Dakota
are armed
With a weight of G33 tons the new
gun is more than ten tons heavier
than the twelve Inch type carried by
the Dreadnoughts that the United
States now has in commission The
weight of the projectile which the new
gun will carry is 1400 pounds The
weight of the powder charge will be
about 40 pounds The designed muz
zle energy of the new weapon is JoOCO
foot tons
Example Is Appalling
To translate this into plainer Eng
lish and to atTord some Idea of what
this power means let the reader sup
pose the 10000 tons of the battleship
Connecticut emplaced on top of the
Lusitania whose displacement is2r00
tons and the biggest of the Fall River
steamboats superimposed on top of all
Next try to conceive of the united
weight of the three and the power that
would be required to lift them The
muzzle energy of this gun exerted at
the moment of discharge is so tremen
dous that it would be able to lift all
three vessels one foot
The mechanism of the carriage must
in the fraction of a second take up and
absorb a shock equal to that of a
heavy engine and five Pullman coaches
running at a speed of seventy miles an
hour and brought to a sudden stop a
stop as sudden as though such a train
had smashed into a stone wall On
leaving the muzzle of the gun the shell
has an energy equivalent to that of a
train or cars weighing SS0 tons and
running at sixty miles an hour
This energy is sufficient to send the
projectile through twenty two and one
half inches of the hardest of steel ar
mor at the muzzle while at a range
of 3000 yards the projectile moving
at the rate of 2235 feet per second
can pierce eighteen and one half inches
of steel armor at normal impact
Life Is Seventy Rounds
One of the ordnance experts of the
navy made some calculations which
go to show that if one of these new
fourteen inch rifles was constantly
submitted to excessive pressure such
as might obtain in a hot action the
gun could not last more than seventy
rounds
The length of the gun is a fraction
more than 3 feet G41 inches to be
exact Although the muzzle velocity
of the projectile is 2G0O feet a second
the ordnance experts have figured that
it requires one tenth of a second for
the shell to leave the gun this because
of the fact that the shell moves from
zero to 2C0O feet and that the mean
velocity must be taken This mean
being one tenth of a second the actual
pas life of this SrX0 weapon is
shown to be only seven seconds
Judging from the performance of the
twelve inch guns these greater weap
ons should be able to deliver three
shots a minute If all ten guns of the
projected Dreadnought should be
brought into action and should main
tain that rapidity of fire for one hour
the cost of the ammunition expended
in the hour would reach the enormous
sum of S2o20000 or about one fourth
of the vessel entire cost
