Hundred pee cent accueacy vonderfai Results Achieved hy Ex. I peris with II Ik flnm Trained t'nder the Modern Sci entific Method. i 1 With American nival gunner scores 100 per cent, have coased to be unuual; .but Marksmanship In the navy Is a rather recent accomplishment. At Santiago 9,009 shots were fired and there were noly 123 hits. Then It daWntd upon the minds of Khe naval authorities that ability to hit a. fixed target did not Imply ability to hit the target when it was moving rap- Idly, as a warship In action ta likely to do. Furthermore, whllo a turgctnnay rep resent the silhouette- of a shlpNt Is not a ship. Therefore efforts have been mado jln the last year to secure real ships jagalnst which the fire of a man of war could be directed as It would be in an lnctual engagement at sea. The Puritan and tlio Katahdln, both obsolete and useless as war vessels, wcro first attacked by various men of war, hut thev were no lnademiato for the nur. nose, that llttlo enlightenment could be ayrivca irom inc injury wrougni on mem by modern guns.' Lat your, sotting all seniimmtal consderations aside, the Navy department 'decided to Miiurlflco a fighting ship, the old battleship Texas, vthlsh had done Its part In tho Spanish- (American war and had become famous f6r Its habit of having accidents happen to It. Upon this craft the battleship Tfew Hampshire opened flro at a range of ctx mlUs. Features of Experiment. To be sure, tho policy of using old ships k targets In not new. This has boon ato many times In Fiance and England. Ifut the conditions under which the sink Ins of the Texas was accomplished wore tip novel a to give this experiment ro rdarkable value from a technical and strategic point of view. JTho most striking feature of the ex periment was the Ulstanco at which tho firing was done, tho rangu being from Iflva to six and a half miles for tho olght- Inch and twelve-inch Kuna and from four 'and a half to five and u half miles for the seven-inch. Tho accuracy of tho flro even at greatest rango was surprising And showed that tho new method of 'finding and holding the target at pres ent In use In the navy is very different. The fire was directed from the top of the military masts, 130 feet above the level of the sea. and the range was found by trial shots and spotting. Tho officers standing on the lofty fire control 'platform observed through powerful .glasses the splash as the projectile struck ttlM water. If the splash was beyond the target vessel the gun elevation as vw 'ered; when the ifhot fell short the gun was raised. Effect of One Shot, The ship had been placed almost In actual fighting condition, even to the i point of having steam up and fires under the boilers. Dummies representing the crsw had been placed on the several decks and in various towers. The most .significant result was that obtained When a twelve-Inch shell presumably contain ing a charge of high" explosive pierced .conning tower, burst and blew one, side I of the tower, weighing from fifteen to twenty tons, entirely ivav. hiirltnir It 'to the main deck below. The same shot jentirely wrecked the bridge. The chart 'jhouse and navigation bridge were blown enmnlAtltlv mvav nnri with hm m.t.l 1 nave gone steering wheel, compass, speak ing tubes, telegraphlo apparatus and . every means of navigating the ship. To quote the statement issued by the seen 'tary of the navy: . "The new Hampshire placed the shells anywhere it wanted and when the gun iners wished to have some hits on the con inlng tower and the turret trmor in order to observe the effect they had no trouble Jn placing the shots at from ten to twelve thousand yards range at just the point desired. "A few projectiles were directed against the masts, so as to show what would happen to the exposed communication systems. "An Inspection of the vessel after the tiring showed Immense holes which had been plowed through from one side to the other, many of them being below water and any one or two of them being sufficient to make the vessel a total loss. The armor of Mils vessel wa unable to withstand the impact at the very great n range at which we fired and the battle- hip was a total loss after the first two broadsides were directed at her." Kesalta Most Impressive. Atl the officers of the fleet were deeply ) Impressed with the accuracy and the great aes-trMtive street oi me projeomes. Ail the taaalklna which were placed at the guea to represent the crews were cut to pieces and the fumes and fire left by the passage of high explosive projectiles would have destroyed every living thing on board. Tho bulkheads In places were like sieves owing to the action of high explosives and all the compartments be- Sid" were completely riddled. 2 Inttructtve. as the experiment was It cannot be repeated very frequently. Furthermore. In spite -of Its realism the .'shelling of the Texas did not represent what would happen In actual warfare. .Jfiiin $X tba Xswu va m (Magi kasy- Ing on the target when the target is mov ing at a speed of twenty knots- or so la a different story. HUnts nt Movlns; Target. In this direction the construction of the Norfolk calrsons marks a great stop In advance. Tho Norfolk navy yard lion completed recently tho construction of a floating caisson which represents on one side a cruiser and on the other a battle ship. Whenever It is deolred to find out how a given section of a fighting ship would behave under flro the section is Installed In Its propor place on the cruiser side or on the batlKihlp side. Then the caisson, which enn bo taken In tow by a fast ship. Is subjected to attack at various ranges with small and big guns. The material loss resulting from such ex periments Is naturally less Important than If, say, tho conning tower of a real battleship were shot at by another battle ship. After eVery single hit the caisson Is visited by officers of the Una and staff, who take careful observation by photo graph, sketch and note book of every detail of the damage Inflicted. Kach hit has Its own story to tell and thus by alternate attack and Inspection the au thorities nf the navy will asqulre a store of practical information tho llko of which has never before been gathered by any navy of tho world. Incident of Target I'rnctlcr. A curious Incident which took placo in the course of maneuvers In Magdnlcna Imy almost permitted medical experts to mako realistic .observation of tho effect ot high explosives on tlfo human frame. Tho repair boat had gone to mark tho holes In tho target nfter ft string of shots hud been fired, as It Is customary to do, whllo tho ship steamed slowly around past the target out toward the range to flro another string of shots, The crew ot tho repair launch found that thoy had left some things' that they needed In another boat, which was an chored off at a sato distance from the target raft. The warrant officer In charga of Iho repairing crow thoJ3htlosnly ortleroi the launch to go for tho needed articles, white ho remained on the raft to fix tho target. lie never considered that th'oso on' noor a the snip wouia Know- notmnii of Ills being on tho raft. After the (run ner had soon the launch move out o. range of tho shots they naturally as sumed that all of the repairing pu.'f had gone with It Tho ship came round Into range, th( firing flag was run up to tho fore ti'ir'o the speed was lncreasod to ton knots a'.( a short blast was blown on tho whlsthi the signal to commence firing. When tho man on the raft heard ti; whistle blow and saw the big red ttii flying at tho fore truck, he realized In n Instant his peril. Frantic with fear ha leaped to the end ot the raft and looked across the water at the steam launch n halt a mile away. No help could bo ex pected rom It and It was useless t. Jump Into the water as the bay was full of sharks. Then he lilt upon an Idea Wko a flash his knife was out and the first halyard which held the target up was cut, then tho other, and his life wa; saved; they could not shoot now, - foi there was nothing to shoot at. All thli had happened in five seconds. Gnn rolnter Snved lllwi. It is said that a'polnter of an eight-inch gun was In the act of squeezing the electrlo bulb which would have sent 60 pounds ot steel flying at the target, when It dropped, and he turned around with a queer look on his face and remarked: "Why, there's somebody on that raft!" Glasses were trained on the raft and the excited boatswain was dtscovefed, none too soon. Another advance in the training ot a gunner was made with the adoption ot an Ingenious attachment which Is affixed to the practice gun and stimulates the motion ot s moving ship. Oood gunnery with the new system and in action depends not only upon the skill ot the pointer; it rests upon the speedy team work of the whole crew. The firing pointer has to keep the gun on the target, so has the trainer who swings the gun from right to left; the sight setter must set his sights according to the orders he receives over the telephone from the con ning tower. Twelve charges a. minute Is now the average for the seven-Inch gun. It takes thirteen seconds for a twelve inch shell to reach a target at a range of 10,000 yards. As seven seconds are allowed to the spotters and three seconds to the sight setters, the gun is loaded, primed and fired while the first projectile is still in the air. With the new practice system the gun pointer points his gun as he would under actual fighting conditions. A small card bearing the outline of a ship is attached to the gun and when Its bullseye is on the cross wires of the! telescope's lens the pressure ot the pointer's hand on a firing key releases a hammer which dots the target card and records the accuracy of his aim. Tho new system of training pointers and registering their accuracy auto matically enable the navy to realise large savings In the shape of ammunition. Some $2,000,000 a year go In smoke from the muzzles ot the guns ot battleships and the north Atlantic squ&iron alone spends more at Its quarterly practice than was spent during the battle ot Manila bay. Flghllug Airships. The navy is now studying means to fight airships and aeroplanes. Airships on account ot their large bulk and stow pl would b sully 4troy.4 by gun- fire. Aeroplanes, small and apeody, pre sent a more arduous problem. Firing has been done without much success at kites held by ropes attached to vessels. The usual gun seems power less against aeroplanes. This summer unusually large kites will be used, again&t which gunners will train a nuw gun, a one-pounder, which at on elevation of 85 degrees can throw Its projectiles to a height of 18,000 feet. The German army guards very Jeal ously its secrets, but it t" rumored that kites tho size of real aeroplanes have been used at maneuvers to test tho value of tho no-called balloon destroyer. This is a gun mounted on a powerful armored car which throws a projectllo weighing nine pounds to a height of "-',000 fen. In devising novel moving targets for rifle and field nrtltlory practice tho Ger mans havo shown a good deal ot In genuity. Dlscardtng the moving targets which woro pulled by horses, capstans or sta tionary engines, the German army Is now using powerful steam traction engines which carry four rope drums able to re ceive over 8,000 feet of wire ropo ono- qunrter of an Inch In diameter. An auto matic device insures a smooth winding of the wire rope. Tho shaft of the drum is driven by two electric .njtons. The targets, which are moved forward, backward or sideways at a fcpecd corre sponding with tho conditions obtaining in real military operations, represent Infan try, cavalry and artillery. They are made of some light stuff such as pastboard nnd linen and aro about tho natural slio of a man or a vehicle with Its horses. They are carried on n sled, tho upper frame, of which Is 6onnected with tho lower by hinges so as to permit Us boirur turned around at a moment' notice In case advancing or retreating Infantry Is to bo represented. The approximate speed of the targets Is recorded. The latest and most spectacular con trivance for teaching infantry to shoot comes from France. Motion picture films havo been taken of cavalry charges with tho effect, which In "movies" is so thrilling, of horses galloping right Into tho auditorium. Tho scrcon on which the picture Is thrown is not tho ordlnnry rectangular piece of cloth but Is unwound from the top roller and wound again on the bottom roller nnd vice verna, Imttat- ng to a cortnln extent the focal plune ihutter In a camera. The cavalry is "stage cavalry,"' tliut.ls. tho same groun Vit horsomon gallop In and out nnd In Mxaln and tho speed ot the moving cur n'n Is so adjusted that the various posl inns of riders and horses can be ac 'irately recorded. After every series ot shots the tight Is thrown on and the curtain wound up or down very slowly, enabling each man to r allze What the effect of his fire would havo been In reality and giving the in structor time to explain the reason ot itivcry mistake. It is claimed also that the moving pic ture target will cure men of the natural nervousness which Impair their marks manship at suoh thrilling movements an when they must make a sudden stand itgnlnst a troup of cavalry charging thorn at full gallop. At any rate the moving picture Is proving popular with the men and affords them a simple- and 'cheap means ot relaxation "wliile at work. New Yerk 8un. PIPE DREAMS SPURRING HOPE Science Planning to Dispense with the Ilniipy lien nnd Languor ous Cow, If science doesn't hold a destructive, al most a paralyzing, hand In tho matter ot Inventions of food substitutes, there may be a strike among bensto and .birds and fishes that will cause more disaster than panics and plagues combined. Only tho other day one ot the high- browed investigators declared that he waa on the Immediate trail of a formula which would enable the world to be Independent of the hen, at least In the matter of eggs; and now comes the announcement that another ot thene upbuilding, synthetic chemists has actually produced a milk which will take away tiie larger part of poor bossy's purpose in the wwid. It is true that the first rumor proved to bo a flash In the pan; merely tho state ment of a scientist that some time etnrs would be produced from the air and a few other cheap Ingredients, which waa instantly seized upon as a present truth by the yellow editor ot a Bund ay paper and exploited In a vivid, ctutxoatlo page of misstatements and exaggerations And In the cane of the oowtesa milk the only authority worth mentioning who has been quoted In Its favor Is Sir WlUiam Crookes, a somewhat Impressionable man, for a hardheaded Investigator. And all he says is that such "milk" la palatable. He doesn't have a good word for Its nouis tshlng properties or, indeed, pat It on the head In any other way. It may, then, be assumed that It is not yet ready to wipe the cow out of exlstenoe. But suppose the oow and the hen should gtt word of the Intention of Bciese to da away with them and. should determine to start a little animal and fowl boycott to frighten the human race, what lamentable results would follow untesa they brought man to their feet and made htm sign an agreement to keep Investigating hands away from oggs and milk. What with dogs talking and monkeys trained, in the niceties ot etiquette, it Is only a step or so for such action to be realized. The best thing to do Is to call off the scientists. It may save trouble and, anyway, the real eggs and milk are good enough when they it a fair c h,Jio. Cfrelai, Ztwder, OMAHA 1IVEJT0CR MARKET Some Cattle Steady, Others Lower for the Week.

During the latter port of the week this break was mostly recovered so that at the close the better grades nnd canners are about steady, while the medium grades are a little lower.

HOGS An active and short market. with the general run of prices a nickel higher than yesterday, were the main features ot the trade in hogs this morn ing. Aa often Is the case when receipts are comparatively light, speculators bought freely at the opening, taking about two-thirds of the hogs at fully a nickel advance. Packers apparently hod some orders to fill and set about trying to make their purchases on a steady basis, but were unable to do so, What hogs they took from first hands showed about the same advance as those sold on speculating and shipping account. imra was a very ugni uenianu uvui shipping quarters. Uulk of the offerings sold around 17.7CW.S0. with the best hogs sinng aa nigh aa 17.83, a nicxei msnar than yesterday's best price.

St II ... t 00 It (4 IS 101 ... 125 14 ISO ( 00 26 8HE13P As usual on the last dav Cf the week no fresh supplies of lambs or sheep showed up, hence values remain practically the same as yesterday and the day before. Prices at the close of the week do not show much change from -a week ago, but when considering the quality ot the of ferings, : r lino lambs In reality are about 10315c higher, apd choice ewes and weth ers are, almost 25c higher than the way soles were made at the olose of last week. Fat yearlings were In very meager sup ply, there not being enough to form an accurate Idea as to current values. It is a very general thing, however, that the trade In yearlings follows that on lambs. During the latter part ot the week a utrlng of protty decent yoarllngs changed hands at 85.00. There was apparently a very fair outlet for the bulk of the fat offerings most of the week, there being a little depression In tho trade Monday and Thursday, due chiefly to very liberal receipts on those days. While the condi tions surrounding the eastern mutton trade have changed very llttlo from a week ago. there seems to be some uncer tainty nnd weakness In that quarter right at tho close ot the week. Feeding lambs and ewes were In fair demand on most days, lambs ot good quality and averaging from 52 to 60 pounds, and light weight ewes, being most sought after. Owing largely to a liberal supply on Monday ami Tuesday, trade was somewhat draggy and prices were a little easier, but a light ml d-week supply had the natural tendency tor creating a rather bullish feeling, resulting In an lm provement in values. Best feeder lambs are now Belling around J6.10C.20, or about 10915c higher than at the end of last week. Feeding ewes were in relatively largo nupply alt week and show little it any change from a week ago. A few loads of ewes, however, fat enough for killing, sold on Wednesday at 13.IO&3.40. Not many yearllngN or wethers were dis posed ot on feeding account. Ab already mentioned, tho market was liberally supplied, especially during the first days of the week and on Thurnday, the receipts for the whole six days ag gregating in round numbers 145,800 head, as against 145,0X1 head last week, 100,500 head two weeks ago and 125,900 head dur ing the corresponding time a year ago. While the total receipts were liberal, the supply ot really choice killers was com paratively light. Quotations on sheep and lambs: Lambs. ood to choice, 16.606.90; lambs, fair to .nod.

There was Joy along Broadway when It liecame known that In Ban Benito, la he lower Rio Grande valley, a now obering system hod been discovered ao- Jdentally. By It a man who haa lm Ibed too freely of cocktails, highballs i- wine has only to spend seven minutes a cooler, and when he comes out ha'ai . s sober 03 tho proverbial Judge. Now thero isn't any need to worrjf 'jout anything except the spending at noney for the libations. The new sobeevt -wr system performs wonders, but doessfH 11 as far as putting back the money into the spender's pocket. But think of ltl Heven minutes after you've taken in fiend whose walking was unstoody and whoso speech was thick he comna out with a sneer on his countenance when you suggest that he's even had a drtaft. Meet a few friends, spend an hour or so chatting over a bar, drink a few cocktails or highballs, and then comes) the knowledge that In this sad condi tion you've got to confront your wife. Just laugh at it now, dally a little longer at the bar, for you know that it's only a matter of seven minutes, and then you can go to your home and mention eome-t thing about being detained In tho office. Sho'll believe it, too, for according to those who have tried the new system it makes a man feel as it he had been on the water wngon for a year. Try the convivial soul business at the bar a secorid time, and It'll merely mean an other seven minutes before you walk out with deep disgust for the man who doesn't know enough to take the seven minute cure. The discovery wasn't mode by Edison. It waa an accident. While a car was be ing 'cooled before loading It with vogex tables the men In charge of the work found an intoxicated man lying in a. glitter. He had been In the sun with tho temperature at 100 degrees. He waa in a very bad state when they put him In thenar, where the temperature was only Just above freezing point. Seven minutes afterward there was a banging on theVdoor of the car, and when it waa opened an Indignant and sober man wanted to know who In the name of all that was cold had put him In there. So the Broadway drinker can keep his courage, and as soon as the freezing and hot rooms have been established in this city he can scoff at the idea ot being caught with a "Jag." "I shsv shall shee you In sheven min utes, old chap," he may say as he en ters tho cooler. And when he makes hla exit from that place his remarks may be: "Had the finest Jag ot my lite. Just now. Simply wonderful, but I wanted to , rid myself ot the don't core, don't mind feeling, so I entered the sobertor turn. Going right home now." One very, very hot room and one at freezing point, and you have IL New, York Herald. "Persistent Advertising is the Road to Legitimate "Big Business."
