Sir John Had Little Paint and a Fine
Senee of Humor.
It is not often tbe administration of
England's naval affairs is attend‘d
with any humorous features, but on
one occasion at least an officer of the
royal navy contributed quaintly to tbe
archives of the admiralty.
Once, before the days of steel ships,
the allowance of paint In tbe royal
I navy wna very small, and sometimes
the officers bad to pay large sums in
order that their ships might maintain
a decent appearance. 8ir John Phllll
more resorted to a funny expedient
either to soften the heart of the navy
board or. If that proved impossible,
I to* express his opinion He painted one
side of bls yellow frigate black and
I white and used tbe rest of tbe black
paint In printing on tbe other side In
I large letters, “No more palntl"
I The navy board wrote to call his
attention to tbe impropriety of Ills
conduct and signed themselves, as
they did officially, “Your affectionate
friends.” Sir John made reply that
be could not obliterate the objection
able letters unleu be were given more
paint and signed himself, in turn.
“Your affectionate friend. John Phllll
more."
The naval aui itlMLitles then called his
attention to tbe
of * tbe
he impropriety

'
signature, to which Sir John respond
ed, acknowledging the letter, statlug
he regretted that tbe paint bad not
been sent and ending. “I am no longer
your affectionate friend. John Phllll
more.”
His frigate was permitted to retain
her original yellow, and thus the
navy board punished Sir John'« tin
pertinence
It ii a pleasure to meet satisfied customers, each one thinking
their colts are best. This is Major Weitzel’s patrons.

SAVING TIME by TELEPHONE
¿HEN a man feels the necessity of being
in two places at the same time he goes
to the nearest telephone and sends his
voice.
Il ia not exactly the Mine tiling, but when a man talks
hundreds of miles in opposite directions from the mime Hell
Telephone, it ia abont ua good.
In the daily use of the telephone a man travels all’over
town by wire in u few niinutee. It ia just aa easy to travel nil
over the state and other states by means of the universal
Long Distance Service of the Bell System.

How They Are Aided by the Talaaeopa
Sight and Crossbar.
Perhaps very tew outside oi the
service know of the Important part
that tba telescope and the crossbar
sight have played In the development
of target work. Before the recent In­
troduction of the telescope and the
crossbar the gun pointer strained bls
eyes in the Impossible effort to adjust
their focus to three widely separated
objects simultaneously, the rear sight
a few Inches away, the front sight a
dozen feet distant from the rear one
and the target anywhere from 1.500
to 13,000 yards. Ordnance experts
worked over this problem, and the re­
sult was the introduction of the tel­
escopic sight and the crossbars—two
pieces of crossed wire at the end of
the telescope. When these “cut” on
the target the gun pointer presses his
electric button and the gun does the
rest
It la eminently spectacular, this
great gun battery practice. This is
from a description given to the writer
by an umpire whose station was on
one of the ships towing the target:
“Through the glasses you could see a
needle-like flash from the tiring ship, a
vessel so far distant that her outline
was but an Indistinct blur upon the
horizon. Having caught the flash, the
glass Is dropped, the eye goes to the
stop watch, and you begin to count-
ore. two, three, four. five. six. seven,
eight, nine. ten. eleven—and about
then you will hear a faint drone which
in the next* fraction of a second swells
Into a mighty roar—the roar of an ex­
press rushing at the rate of thirty
miles a second. With the roar come
a flying of splinters from the target, a
geyser leaping a hundred feet In air.
then another and another, as the rico­
cheting shell glances from wave to
wave, and then, last of all. the faint,
faroff boom of the gun which bad burl­
ed the missile.”—Harper s Weekly.

LEGLESS AND ARMLESS.
Yet Kavanaugh Was a Daring Rider
and a Famous Sportsman.
Far and away tbe most interesting
member and In many ways tbe most
remarkable mun who has ever sat in
tbe bouse of commons was tbe Right
1 Hon Arthur Kavanaugh, who sat for
: Carlow from 1869 to 1880 under condi­
tions which would have been Impos­
sible for almost any other man.
Kavanaugh was born without arms
or legs—be was. In fact, a mere trunk
of a man. And yet he performed a
feat from which most men with their
full complement of members might
well have shrunk.
Strapped on to his saddle, be was
one of tbe most skillful and daring
riders to hounds in all Ireland. On
one occasion, it is said, “the saddle
turned under him, and the horse trot­
ted back to tbe stable yard with bls
i master hanging under him, his hair
! sweeping the ground. bleeding pro-
fusely. He merely cursed the groom
with emphatic volubility, had himself
I more safely readjusted and rode out
once more.”
So remarkable was the sight of this
pink clad trunk perched on his big
horse that a child who once saw him
dashing out of a wood ran shrieking
to her mother, exclaiming: “Oh. mum­
my, I’ve seen Satan himself! I’ve seen
him sure enough!”
Kavanaugh was also an enthusiastic
yachtsman and was the first to assert
the right of M. P ’s to moor their craft
opposite the houses of parliament. He
went on a shooting expedition to Al­
bania and published a charming book
on bis experiences. Illustrated with ad­
mirable photographs tnken by himself,
while among his favorite pastimes
were angling and tree felling.
His most famous exploit, however,
was bis ride from Norway to India.
Accompanied by two friends, be rode
across Russia to the Caspian sea.
thence to Astrakhan and Astrabad
and through Persia, laughing at the
perils and fatigues of a journey which
might well have daunted even the fa­
mous Colonel Burnaby.
Kavanaugh, who was the father of
four handsome sons and daughters, all
perfectly formed, was carried Into the
house of commons on tbe back of an
attendant, and was certainly one of
the keenest and ablest of legislator« of C A
his time.—London Tit-Bits.

CHANCES OF LIFE
Figures That Indicate Your Probable
Future In Years.
Do you ever wonder how long you
are going to live? Ask an actuary, the
man who figures it all out for tbe life
Insurance companies and who can tell
with almost supernatural precision.
He'll tel! you that If you are 20, and
In good health, chances are 12 to 1
that you'll live beyond 30. For longer
life he’ll offer these odds: To be 40,
5% to 1; to be 50, 3 to 1; to be 60, 1 2-3
to 1 But he'll say that you have less
than 1 chance in 2V4 to be 70. less than
1 in 5H to be 80 and only 1 chance In
100 to be 90.
Suppose you are 30. Your chances
run this way: To be 40, 11 to 1: to be
50, 4^ to 1; to be 60, 2% to 1; to be 70,
414 chances in 10; to be 80, 1 In 514; to
be 90. 1 In 100.
Or 40 years old. Actuaries' odds are:
To be 50. 8 1-3 to 1; to be 60, 2% to 1;
to be 70, 5 chances out of 10; to be 80.
1 In 5% plus; to be 90, 1 in 100.
Fifty-year-olds’ prospects are fig­
ured: To be 00, 4% to 1; to be 70.
about 114 to 1; to be 80. only 1 In 5;
to be 90. 1 In 100.
Say you are 60. It runs this way at
that age: To be 70. 2 to 1; to be 80, 1
ebnnee in 4; to be 90, 1 In 96.
If you are 70 your cbances of turn
Ing tbe 80 year milepost are 3 to 8;
to be 90. I In 50.
Klghty-yenr-old men and women
have only 1 chance In 17 to stave off
