NAVAL GUN CREWS
Warm Work Is Theirs When
Warship Is In Action.
RANGE FINDING AND FIRING
How the Target or the Enemy Is Lo
cated and the Way the Monster Guns
Are Operated—The Scene In the Con
ning Tower and In the Turrets.
The gray battleship seems strangely
deserted and bare, for Uer decks are
denuded of men, while all rails and
other upstanding encumbrances hav
been laid flat on deck tor big gun
practice.
In the conning tower, with Its twelve
inch armor, stands the captain, his
navigating officer, a midshipman
two and several other officers and men
The small circular erection, barely ten
feet in diameter, seems very cramped
for all it has to contain.
Above the conning tower is another
armored erection, containing a range
finder, and inside this Is the gunnery
lieutei ant, with half a dozen more
officers and men. fie Is surrounded by
strange looking Instruments, while
man at the range Under, with J*"
at its rubber eyepieces, is ujr *8
pectanf men are grouped around their
monster thirteen Inch guns. The great
projectiles and the cordite charges be
hind them have already been pushed
home by the hydraulic rammers, and,
since their weapons ore thus fully load
ed, the guns' crews are idle for the
time being.
But the gun layers—the men who aim
and fire the guns—and the trainers—
those who keep them pointing in the
right direction—are anxiously keeping
the sights on the target, and every now
and then, as they move their small
brass handles, there is a wheezing of
hydraulic machinery, and the great
breeches .rise and fall ever so slightly,
while the whole armored structure con
taining them revolves an inch or so at
a time to keep the sights on.
A minute or two later, after an order
has come through from the control
position, the lieutenant In charge of
the foremost turret suddenly raps out
the order. "Bring both guns to the
ready!"
The men standing by the breeches
flick over their small levers. "Right
gun ready! Left gun ready!" they re
port in rapid succession.
The range meanwhile Is decreasing
rapidly, and about ten seconds later
there comes the strident rattling of an
electric bell.
It Is the signal to open flre. The gun
layer holds 1ns breath, sees the cross
wires of his telescope cutting the lat
ticework of the target and then presses
an innocent looking brass thumb piece.
As he does so there Is a roar, and, with
a blaze^ of orange flame and a pall of
brown smoke, a projectile weighing
more than half a ton is sailing through
the air on its way toward the target
Outside the turret the coucussion Is
terrible, but inside it is barely felt, and
the only means the gun's crew have of
knowing their weapon has gone off Is
by the rocking of the turret and the
recoil of the gun. Back she slides,
with the water whistling and gurgling
through the hydraulic valves far be
low. She stops and then, as the run
ning out springs exert their strength,
is driven back to the firing position.
The men meanwhile are working
like demons. Some one, by moving a
small lever which actuates a hydraulic
engine, has opened the brooch. A cloud
of acrid cordite smoke fills the turret,
but another man, turning a tap, sends
a jet of water spouting into the chain
ber to extinguish any still burning
fragments.
Everything seems chaos, but every
one knows what to do—ho has done
It time after time—and in less than
thirty seconds we bear a sharp order,
"Eight gun. load!"
A man moves an upright lever, and
an arrangement looking like a minia
ture lift climbs into view through the
floor. It has come up from the shell
room below laden with the new charge
and projectile and stops dead In the
rear of the gun.
Reposing In a tray Is the shot itself.
Another lever is worked, and a flexible
chain hydraulic rammer, looking like a
snake, darts out of its resting place and
pushes the shot before It into the
breech of the gun.
It Is driven home with a dull thud.
The rammer is withdrawn, another
handle is puili-d and two enormous
brown cylinders of cordite fall into
the tray jtist vacated by the projectile,
They, too, are rammed home, and be
fore we quite realize what has hap
pened the rammer and lift have disap
peared, the breach of the gun has been
swung home and the great weapon Is
ready for firing.
In the fire control position the gun
nery lieutenant has seen the first shot
tear a jagged hole in the target and
promptly whispers an order to a man
ot his side. The latter moves a small
handle, and,thirty seconds later there
is another discharge.
In about en minutes It is all over
and the ship is approaching the target
to see the result of her shooting.—Lon

he went to the Salton sink fiat on his

From that bed Epes Randolph built
one of the world's great dams.

Before his car moved back to Tucson
again he got out of bed and went out
upon the work. Out toward the end t'
the embankment, steadily advancing
across the path of the truant river, i
group of men were struggling with
fine new steel car that had becofnr
derailed at the end of the temporary
track.
"How long have you been trying to
save that car?" asked Randolph.
Twelve minutes," replied the fore
man.
Let it go," came the order from the
chief. "Twelve minutes' time on this
job is worth mure than a hundred
cars."
And so the car went down under
some thousands of tons of rock and
gravel that went to hold back the
mighty Colorado from the haven that
It coveted.—Metropolitan Magazine.

Unions and Good Times.
The trade union movement is one of
the strong elements in industrial life
that is continuously promotive of good
times. We will not permit any reduc
tion of wages even though industry Is
slack, for the reason that every wage
reduction is followed by a falling off
of the powor of consumption and con
sequently must accentuate the depres
sion rather than help to remove it.—
