& "Washington, .May 222.?Such advices
as have been received from AmbassaW
dor Gerard within the last few days,
wF it became known tonight, have given
no intimation as to the character of

to reach Washington late next week.!
Until then the situation as between!
the United States and Great Britain

in council will not be developed by
officials !:ere.A fter the German note is
received, however, it is practically certain
that representations on the gen
eral subject of tne commercial embargo
imposed by the allies on intercourse
with Germany will be made.
Tiere is no tendency among officials
here to underestimate the seriousness
of the situation wlpch may result in
event of an unfavorable reply from
Berlin. On this point in particular it
is known the Washington government
will insist?complete disavowal of any
intention to destroy American lives

I cover this point satisfactorily it is felt |
that arrangements for the future safeguarding
of American citizens can
then be arranged though further diplomatic
correspondence, for it is said j
the German reply will suggest ar
rangements whereby passenger and
contraband traffic on belligerent merchantmen
might be separated.

"Well," said Mr. Bryan, "it saves Mr.

but this is one of those cases in
which a victory either way gives some
advantage. If Mr. Barnes had won it
would have purged him of the charge

i AIR IS EXPLOSIVE
IX XEW MONSTER GIN
Impelling Power Is Derived From
. Highly Explosive Gas Mixture,
\ot Blir Powder Charges.
The new gun which Germany
; brought into use for the first time on
j April 30 against Dunkirk threw its
j missile from 24 to 2S miles, establishi
ing a record as the greatest long-range
firing ever known in actual warfare.
; Dr. Franz Erich Junge, a German
! naval constructor, who has been in
America for some time as consulting
engineer for German and American industrial
concerns, said last week, in
discussing some of the features which
have aroused the attention of war experts,
t;at he did not believe the limit
of long-range firing had by any means
been reached. He also explained several
things about the mechanism of
Germany's iong-aistance gun wmcii
clear up some of the erroneous ideas
about it.
"This latest German gun, which !ias
been tried out against Dunkirk for
the first time," said Dr. Junge, "is one
of the new 50-centimeter type about
which muck has been heard, but little
definite information generally known.
The radical difference between this
and other long-distance guns lies in
the impelling power, which is derived
from a highly explosive gas mixture,
thereby doing away with enormous
charges of powder and reducing to a
considerable degree the- cost of oper
ating.
"This mixture is prepared by compressing
air to very higij pressures
and injecting oil into it at the proper
time, thus obviating the use of a large
charge of powder for each firing of
the gun. Not only does it reduce the
initial cost, but it facilitates the working
of the gun.
Cylinder with a Piston.
! "The construction of the modern
i gun is based upon the same lines as
j the construction of the internal com}
bustion engine; so mutfi so that even
| the designers of internal comDusuon
| engines become designers of large
guns. The big gun is practically a
cylinder with a piston in it, but with
this difference from the engine?that
the gun piston is the projectile itself.
Also, like the engine, guns must be
cooled by water and oil.
"Another important feature of this
latest gun and one which has not been
generally appreciated is that it is possible
to use projectiles of different calibre.
For long-distance firing a smaller
projectile is used, while for attacking
fortresses at sLorter range the large
50-centimeter calibre projectile can be
used. This is managed by the use of
different cylinders. Let us say that
the 50-centimeter gun is built for firing
missiles of three different sizes. It
is evident that a projectile of about
12-inch calibre was fired in the longdistance
attack upon Dunkirk. At the
present state of gun-firing ability that
is the largest-sized projectile which,
j can reasonably ze fired for such a long
j distance. The heavier weight of the
j larger projectiles makes a carrying
Kf 93 miloc ,i'mnnssihiP now."
UiOtftiiUU V/I ^ The
ability of this so-called Dunkirk
gun to use different sized cylinders
readily explains some of the confused
views which have prevailed about this
instrument of destruction. The ordnance
experts at 'Wkshington. in 'discussing
the 23-mile feat a few days
ago, were of the opinion, and rightly,
that a gun of no greater calibre than
12 inches could fcave been used successfully
in the attack on Dunkirk,
stating that it would be impossible to
attain a distance of from 21 to 23
miles with the 50-centimeter projectile.
eaual to 19.6 inches. Dr. .Junge's
explanation that a 12-inch cylinder
may be slipped into the gun shows
how a missive of that calibre may be
fired from a gun constructed to fire
a missile of nearly 20 inches.
Torpedoes From Zeppelins?
It is of interest to note, as contrasted
with the 23-mile carrying ability
of the new German gun, that t':e
American army experts have made
elaborate computations of wnat migni
be accomplished by tae latest American
12-inch coast defense gun, and it
has been shown that when fired at
an angle of 45 degrees such a gun has
a range of 55,000 yards, or over 31
miles.
"No actual limit can be placed on
the long-range firing possibility of big
guns," added Dr. Junge. "With a more
powerful explosive force behind the
projectile, it would naturally carry
further. This is what has given the
new tierman gun me adiiuy <ji suu1
cessful long-range firing."
Dr. Junge was asked if he thought
successful long-range firing could be
accomplished for distances of 50 to
100 miles. He admitted the difficulties
at such distance, bo*lh from the heavier
weight of tine projectile and the
effect of air currents in swerving the
missile ever so slightly from its
course, and thereby preventing, at abnormal
distances, the unerring accu
racy now ootaiuauie iui uiotauuca up
to 20 miles and over.
"Why may it not be possible, in the
wars of the future, if there are any,"
he said, "to use air torpedoes for such
J distances? Experiments have been under
way for some time in German fac!
tories in the construction of air torpedoes.
Like the torpedoes shot from
tne submarines, t ey all possess a propelling
force of their own, set in motion
as soon as they are shot into the !
air. Let us suppose this may be pos- j
sible, and then place an aeroplane or i
Zeppelin equipped with a strong wireless
electric plant above the line of!
flight of these destroying air torpedoes. I
"We have already demonstrated the
! ability of guiding boats by cans of elecj
trie waves, and why could not the
; flight of t!':ese huge air torpedoes be
guided with accuracy to their strik?ncr

flew over Paris this afternoon disguised
as a French machine. The
French air scouts allowed it to pass
over the frontier, believing it was one
of their own aeroplanes. Flying high
over the city, tJhe German aviator
dropped three bombs. One fell in the

UNCLE SAM'S FINE EXHIBIT.
The National Museum at Washington
Shows the First Crude Machines
Made as Weil as Originals and Models
of the First Locomotives.
Probably no museum collection in the
world better illustrates the develop
ment of the steam engine, particularly
the locomotive, than the exhibit of the
T nif Arl Cfn t/\r? Vnti/\nnl iifrtn rv* /%
uiiiicu oiuico i^auuum muocuui ai
Washington, which includes two of the
earliest original locomotives and numerous
models and accessories.
The history of the sream engine is a
materialistic romance without parallel
in the record of human achievements.
It covers the stupendous and persistent
efforts of many early philosophers
and mechanics who found steam a
mysterious uncontrollable force and
left it a comprehensible controllable
factor of public service.
Ao one knows now long after it was
observed that by holding down the lid
of a kettle of boiling liquid a certain
force was created, due to the compression
of the steam, before any use
was attempted with this newly discovered
force. It is certain, however, that
a sort of steam engine was exhibited
in Alexandria, Egypt, about 200 years
before our era began, and it was described
in a work on pneumatics by
Hero of Alexandria, written between
150 and 130 B. C. This machine was
a rotary affair, more theoretical than
practical, as were many of the results
of philosophy in those days. A reconstruction
of this engine in model form
is in the museum exhibits.
Nothing more is to be found concerning
the steam engine for centuries, a
-c A. U!?K : ~ ,1 U* ln/>K
iacu vviik'u is uu uuuui uutr iu luk ia.v_iv
of interest in anything which did not
have to do with war or warlike implements.
A book published in Rome in
1029 gives a description of Giovanni
Branca's crude steam engine, showing
it to have been an elementary steam
turbine, with the sole defect that it
lacked any appliances for making the
steam follow the vanes, or buckets, of
the revolving wheel, so that more of
its energy might have been converted
into useful work. One author in a
treatise on locomotives claims that had
some genius improved upon this early
device the reciprocating engine would
Drobablv never have been invented, but
that we would have had the advantage
of our modern turbines much sooner.
The museum possesses a model of a
very early machine designed by Sir
Isaac Newton in 1680 which was propelled
by a jet of steam projected
| backward against the air and a model
of Denis Papin's invention of about
the same time. (The investigations of
Savery and Papiri and the successful
experimental engines of Thomas Newcomen
in 1705 with his piston and
cylinder soon followed. Newcomen's
ideas were improved by James Watt in
1769, who also introduced the high
! pressure engines, the condenser and
later the double acting engine. The
development of the engine was advanced
by Cugnot, Evans, Hornblower and
Murdoch. A model of the latter's enj
gine is on display in the museum.
As the result of a wager made by a
resident of Merthyr Tydfil, an important
iron town of South Wales, that
he could convey a load of iron nine
j miles by the power of steam alone
Richard Trevithick made the first engine
to run' on rails in 1803 and won

copied the stationary engine built in
1800 by Oliver Evans, an American,
who was later ingenious enough to attach
wheels to a scow and propel it by
steam through the streets of PhiladelI
phia in 1804. This curious creation,
I called the Oruktor Amphibolis. was the
j first motorcar to run on American soil.
A inpdel of Trevithick's engine is to
be seen in the National museum, as
j is also the model of the engine emi
ployed by John Stevens in 1S25 and
j his original tubular boiler. Other modI
els illustrate nearly all the types which
began to put in their appearance soon
after 1S2G, when the Stourbridge
Lion was built in England and shipped
to America, where it was the first
engine to run on full sized rails. The
museum possesses not only the model
[ of this historic engine, but the original
engine itself. The other original
full sized locomotive to be seen in the
museum is the John Bull, built by
George Stephenson & Sons of England
and shipped to America for use in 1831
on the Camden and Amboy railroad,
in+orpstinc to recall that this old
relic of early railroading in America
made a round trip under its own steam
in 1893 from New York to Chicago,
where it was exhibited at the World's
Columbian exposition.
Among the models of early and historic
locomotives are George Stephen|
son's Rocket, which was built in 1829;
the B. and 0. engine Tom Thumb, built
by Peter Cooper in 1829; the grasshopper
type engine Arabian of 1831; the
Best Friend, used in 1830-1; Baldwin's

GOOD CAFCHERS.
|
They Must Be Quick Thinkers and Are
Hard to Develop.
! Good fielders and hard hitters there
! are who are not quick fitted, but nev|
er a catcher, who is the first to see
j signs of weakness in the pitcher and
| sends word to the bench for another
; pitcher to warm up. Three years' exj
perience with a major league is re
garded as necessary to make a catcher
competent Only a few continue
long enough to have such experience.
Good catchers say that "when they
hear the ball touch the bat their hands
instantly fly toward the ball, no matter
where it glances off the bat. Some
after losing sight of a fly in the sun
have the ability to reach it neverthej
less.
Some catchers are unjustly blamed
: for not putting a runner out who gets
i a big lead off the pitcher, who is real!
ly at fault Here not only a good
throw "will fail, but it is often useless
to tlirow at all.
Good catchers make many unexpected
throws. They must throw from an
unnatural position and with a jerky
motion of the arm. Archer threw with
: a snap of the arm while standing flat
footed and put many out on first base.
The catcher signals second baseman
that he is going to throw the next
pitched ball to him; the pitcher delivers
it a little to one side so that it
can be handled easily; the shortstop
knows the next ball will not be hit and
so can back up second base. This unexpected
throw often puts the runner
out on second.
A similar play is when the runners
! move up every time the ball is pitch
| ed. If those on second and third both
i get well off the bags the catcher again
| signals the pitcher to waste a ball and
j makes as if he were going to throw
i to third, but instead throws quickly to
| second and retires the runner there,
or makes as if he were going to throw
: to second, but instead throws just beyond
the pitcher, when the baseman
j starts for second, and he, without stop!
ping, runs up, catches the ball and
sends it home to retire the man seeking
to score.?Arthur Maedonald in
American Education Review.
EVOLUTION OF THE CHAIR.
j Benches Without Backs Served For
Seats In the Middle Ages.
I It seems odd to contemplate that.
! with the multitude of chairs to De
found in every home these days, once
upon a time there were no chairs as
we know them in any home. In those
days benches answered the purpose
now served by chairs, and when a family
drew up to the table for its meals
j in the middle ages they sat on long
| benches, which had no support for the
backs, instead of chairs.
I From long ago there were heavy
' *#. .1 ?i. L?k
j thrones on wnicn tne ruiers sui, uut
these throne chairs were so heavy that
they could not be easily moved. Later
I the benches were given a back, and
; still later the chairs as we know them
today were evolved.
It was not until 1600, in the time of
Charles 1., that the average Englishman
knew of chairs or had them in his
house, according to those who have
made a study of furniture. The first
English chairs were imported from
France, and the native cabinetmakers
and carpenters made chairs in imitation
of these.
In those days the fashion in chairs
changed with the fashion of clothes.
When full skirts were the style the
chairs became wider, so that milady
and her skirts could be accommodated
on one chair. The difference in the
size of chairs that we have today,
made in imitation of old styles, comes
from this difference in clothes.?London
Standard.
Why a Whip "Cracks."
In a lecture on "Mechanics Iii the
Home" delivered to boys at the Royal
institution, in London, Professor C. V.
Hoys tried to explain why a whip
| cracks. The Scientific American re
marks that his explanation was oniy
tentative, and the greatest authorities
on dynamics have been at a loss to
give the reason. Briefly, it has to do
with the fact that, owing to the action
of centrifugal and other forces,
the speed at which the whip travels
through the air is greater and greater
throughout the length of its lash and
so great at tiie end that it comes up to
the velocity of sound.
Mimicking Death.
Sarah Bernhardt's fondness for playing
death scenes (you remember her
habit of sleeping in a coffin) made her
; on nhipot- nf terror to the ex-Sultan Ab
j dul Hamid. When the great actress
visited Constantinople years ago Abdul
refused absolutely to see her or witness
her playing, declaring that he had
no wish to come in contact with a woman
who could mimic death to such
perfection.?London Chronicle.
