How Mines are Laid and Fired. One of the ways in which the bel?erent nations lay mines in har>rs and other waters is described in ie July Popular Mechanics Magane. On one deck of a vessel are veral narrow tracks supporting ie mines, each of which is mounted 1 wheels. Each mine is in turn lied to the stern and, by means of ecial launching tracks, is dropped to the sea without tilting. A mine ' the character described is made ? of three parts: A spherical floatg chamber containing the explosive, c.; an anchor chamber which is nnected with the former by a cae, and a weighted sounding line, tie length of the lat'ter is equal to Le depth at which the mine is to )at. When the <md of the sounding ae strikes bottom the lessening of s Dull throws a pawl which pre mts the drum in the anchor cham3r from paying out more cable to te sphere. Consequently the latter drawn under water to a depth lual to the length of the sounding ne, as the anchor chamber settles > the bottom. A page illustration l the July Popular Mechanics^Iagane depicts graphically this method ' mine laying. HUMP OX FISH A MYSTERY. ddity Develops Years After Planting in Oregon Lake. What put the miniature camel-like umps on the fish of Rock Creek ike is the question that Ellert El>rtson, Rock Creek rancher, is putng up to State Biologist Finlev. Mr. Ellertson planted 5,000 Lake [ichigan trout in the lake many Bars ago, and until this year they lowed no difference from others of leir specie. Recently, however, nail humps just behind the first ack fin were seen on many of them. ; is not believed to be disease, and le size and the flavor of the trout 0 not seem to be impaired. There is no possibility of a cross ith any other breed, because noth1 g but the Lake Michigan trout have een planted in the lake, which was riginally devoid of fish.?Baker, regon, dispatch to Portland Oreonian. REUNION OF CO. G. i Old Soldiers Held Meeting at Bet liesda Church. i The fixed day for the annual re- < union of Co. G, 1st S. C. infantry, is the last Thursday in July, but due to the schedule of State campaign meeting held at the Court house on that day the date for the reunion was changed for the time being till one week later, which fell on August 3. The morning dawned, but old Sol was in complete hiding. This did 1 did not prevent the great throngs from sailing o'er the various public s highways, leading to the beautiful grounds of Bethesda Baptist church, "the home of Co. G reunions." 'Tis here where the old and young, r 't rich and poor, the pretty and less so, the educated and illiterate, the en- \ couraged and discouraged and the < people of various walks of life with J their vicec-versa of Bamberg county 1 and many visitors, gather annually all . with one cause, guided by one thought and filled withNone intention?that of reverence for the gray ( headed survivors of Co. G, and they < are glad to have any other soldier of ] the 60's present. By the time the J church and grounds was about filled, . old Sol commenced to play hide-andseek with mother earth, then lit shone out brightest upon the scene. An interesting programme was ren- ( dered as follows: i Songs by choir?"The Little Brown Church," and "He is Able to Deliver Thee." ( - Reunion called to order by Chair- i man J. B. Hunter. 1 Song, Doxology, by audience, ' standing. Scripture reading, from 6th chap- < ter of Acts of Apostles, followed by ! prayer by Rev. C. E. Walker. Song by choir?"God Take Care of You." Welcome address, by Mr. C. W. [ Folk. ' Response to welcome, by J. F. Carter, Esq., in which he paid homage to the history of Bethesda church, appealed to the patriotism of the juvenile age, impressed the unity of the South and North and threw flowered language at our great Wilson, using the untiring zeal and unbending stability of the Confederate soldier during the dark times of the 1 60's as incentives leading to present conditions. Song by choir?"The Song of the 11 Soldier." Roll call of Co. G, by Capt. M. O. Kinard, with an answer of ten pres- , ent, followed by "When the Roll is : Called Up Yonder," by audience ] standing. 1 Reading of minutes of meeting of 1915, by secretary, which was accepted and placed on record. Address by Rev. E. 0. Watson, ( subject: "Rebuilding of the Great i Southland." This talented gentleman showed himself as he is. He spoke fluently of the motherhood and fatherhood 'of today and the < cause of the many occasions of large gatherings of soldiers. Laid stress on the value of history to aid character building and how loving and forgiving strengthens one's life and sweetens it for eternity. He said: "The North was brave, j The South was braver; i The North thought, The South knew" during those trying times, and the 1 greatest general and greatest char- j acter of the South was R. E. Lee. < He urged reunions as long as a survivor is living, then comemoration by Daughters of the Confederacy. Song by choir?"Song of Victory." 1 Standing vote of thanks by au- ] dience to speaker Watson. ] Talks by Veterans J. C. Copeland . and Levi ("Kite") Folk, also I. W.. Rentz. Veteran Folk said he was I married while on a furlough home during the war, something over fifty three years ago and his bride is still j T- 1 yuuilg ana ucauuiui. Roll call, by "Uncle Jim" Zeigler," of Co. H from memory. Song by choir during which a collection was taken by Misses Doris Folk and Connie Carter and Capt. M. O. Kinard, the amount collected being $10.95. A bill was presented ( the reunion by Mr. J. R. Norris for a table for the grounds, costing $2.40, he giving the 40 cents to the reunion. The treasurer paid the $2.00. A token of $2.00, with the love of the reunion, was sent Comrade Bessinger at Olar, which leaves $6.95 in the treasury. An essay of tribute' was read to soldiers by the secretary, which was asked by veterans to be placed on the minutes. Song?"God Be With You," by audience, during which a hearty handshake was given the boys of the 60's. There were 34 of these special guests present and truly 'twas one of the pleasantest of all the reunions. The meeting closed, with benediction by Rev. E. O. Watson, to meet at Bethesda the last Thursday in July, 1917. GEORGTE EMMA JORDAN, Sec. and Treas. for Co. G, 1st S. C. Infantry.
