Inci dentally the committee has dug up an Interesting bit touching on tho his tory of the guns which, it will be re called, Maj J. M. Beardsley recently attempted to sell, claiming them as his personal property. It is from tbe Con gressional Record. It is recorded as bouse bill 195, and was introduced in January, 1870. by Congressman John llawley. Tbe measnre was signed by the president March 9, 1S70. It read: "That tho steretary of war be and is hereby anthorized to place at tbe disposal of the soldiers1 monument committee at Rock Island, Ijl.. 12 pieces cf condemned ordnance from the arsenal at Rock Inland, for tbe purpose of completing tbo soldiers1 monument and appurtenances at Rock Island.11 AUGUST RACES AT THE DAVENPORT MILE TRACK The raia has been a great thing for the Davenport mile track and makes it certain that with what more may come and with the sprinklers the conditions there will be tine for racing week after next. The entries for tbe Aug ust meeting close tonight, and Secre tary Van Tuyl is contident that they will show plenty of horsemen coming here to guarantee a big meeting. It is proper to say right beie that the August meeting ought to have heartier support from tbe Davenport public than tbe July meeting had The heat and tho dust were excuse enough then for the people staying away, but there will be no srch ex planation good for a light attendance this time. If the retail stores close, and the wholesale houses and factor ies do tbe same, they would be ac cording the Mile Track association do more recognition than it deserves. It is an open secret that the gentlemen who have put their money into the track and carried it for so loog had about reached the quitting point with the July meeting. Jf tbe August meeting does not leave them in a more cheerful frame of mind tho days of horse racing on the Davenport track may be a thing of the past. Not even tbe city assessor's visits are more certain than the fact that Davenport will reg'et the day that the mile track is turned out to grass. The fair grounds are gon, and with the mile track once goue it will be gone for all time. All that a good many people of this country know about Davenport is that it has the best mile track in the country, and as an advertisement for the city it carries the name of Davenport all over the country every time a race meeting is held. It brings a lot of horsemen here on those occasions, and not a few who are here several months through tbe training season, and it results in lots of money being spent there that makes the meeting a good thing for tbe town, even from the sordid point of view of dollars and cents. Tho association makes the welcome announcement tbat it will give two roadster races at the coming meeting, offering $100 for a pacing and $100 for a trotting race. Hordes must bo driven by their owners and must have been in their possession binee July 25. Tne entries will close Aug. 7. Own ers who want to know more about it should ask bee ret a ry Vau Tuyl. Croat Otto Ketnroa Ernst Otto bas arrived back in Dav enport. He is as glad to get home as if he had been away a century. He has spent tho last two years in tbe Lclpsig conservatory, perfecting him self in composition, counterpoint, vocal and piano music, and winning honors right along.

Mrs. Olto, who returned home a year or so ago, in order that tbe children might have the advantage of the Davenpo't schools, met him in Buffalo, and tbey saw tho exposition together. Mr. Otto says that he wants a brief rest before getting down to real work again, and that be has not made his plans for the future. Clearing lra Vebrle.

A NEW USE FOR MODELS. Employed to Show When Damaged Wnrahlpa Will Capalie. Ihv use oC uitxlf'Is la liIiAuildin has recently been revived by tbe best au thorities in naval architecture as an aid In the solution of a most important problem, the stability of an injured bat tleship or cruiser. Tbe advanced course iu naval architecture at the Massachu setts Institute of Technology in Boston which will hereafter be taken by grad uates of the 1'nited States Naval acad emy who iutenil t enter the construc tion corps Includes the exact determi nation of liuw lunch damage a warship can stand and not go to tbu bottom. The methods employed by Professor Cecil II. Pcaliody, who bas charge of the course, involves the use of a wood en model alHMit four feet long, so con structed that blocks of vrood represent ing the watertight compartments can 1h removed at will. The model Is float ed in u tank of water and purposely "damaged" by the removal of one or more of these Mockf, Just as If they had been blown oih.mi by an enemy's shell, their place Ix-iiig taken by weights representing the water which wotihi enter after an accident exposing them to the sea.. Tbe inclination or Mist" of the model to the iMiint of ca sizing Is then precisely noted and fur nishes the basis for elaborate calcula tions of the greatest use In designing vessels which shall be stanch as well as rxiwerful. Tho tests show, for example, that If nn engine room and boiler room on tho same side of the ship are flooded the ship will capsize, while, the flooding of either is a serious menace to stability. One result of the experiments lias bon to explode the popular fallacy in be ITovIng that the safety of a twin screw steiinicr is assured by dividing it Into practically two ships by means of fore and aft bulkheads. Such a division, on the contrary, always means a danger ous Instability in the event of lujury to the hull, whether for the passenger ship or man-of-war. and it means, fur thermore, that iu such a case the man-of-war would be unable, on account of her list to one side or the other, to use her gun and would consequently be absolutely at the mercy of an fneiny. This danger has lately become so well understood that no American warship would be sent into action until the doors connecting her watertight com partments bad been opened so that the water that entered might be equally distributed.
