(Vancouver Sun.)
People think of the 16 Inch guns
on “Lizzie” and ahtps of her class as
the largest naval guns ever made, but
British war boats carried bigger guns
In the early days of the hardware
navy. The old Inflexible had four 80
ton guns, 16 inch caliber. Nearly SO
years ago the British navy had 110
ton guns, 16.26 Inches In caliber, and
these were the most ponderous ship’s
guns ever made. But the 17 Inch navy
gun Is coming.
That reminds us that the world went
very well In the good old days when
ships of war thumped away at each
other’s wooden topsides with Long
Tom, who was only a ground butted
i son of a gun of a 32 pounder, and Tom's
numerous family, long and short, the
smallest member of which heaved a
little thing smaller than a tennis ball
Men fought Just as merrily In the old
days when the broadside of a three
decker was only 80 per cent of the
weight of one shell thrown by the
Lizzie at a Turkish fort on many
hilled Gallipoli. The old wooden ship’s
hauled alongside each other at ’’close
quarter" and the decks were a foot deep
! In blood when the scuppers ohocked
with the fragments of shattered hu
manity. The plunging round shot was
as capable a projectile, muzzle to
muzzle, as the modem shell at ten
miles range. A two pound shot oould
cut a man In two, and what shall could
accomplish more? The butchery was
Just as satisfactory proportionately to
the number of men on the ships. The
records of the old see battles show
that vessels oftsn lost 60 per cent In
killed and wounded, and sometimes as
high as 70 per oent. In some fights
ofTshore ships were sunk or burned
without so much as a rat escaping
In view of this modern guns and gon
nery have hardly made sea fights any
more bloody than In the days of "sticks
and strings."

On© of the most important medical
discoveries of the war is the medica
properties of garlic as an antiseptic
It has proved to be a tremendous booi
to the wounded soldiers. The dis
covery was first announced in the Lan
cet by Dr. A. D. Serell Cooke and Dr
V. Gabriel, two London medical mer
who Introduced the remedy Into Pad
dington Infirmary with remarkable re
sults. Of the hundred cases treated
there not a single failure was recorded
Most cf these cases were of people
tn very weak health and with terribl
Infected wounds, and of infirm, old
people who appeared to have no chance
of recovery. Equally gratifying ro
suits have been obtained at the front
When applied to a wound the garlic
3tops the Infection and heals the
wound in an astonishing short time,
where other untlseptics injure the tis
sues if used at the strength required
o arrest the infection. The Juice get*
the Infection under control within
ofty eight hours, even in the worst
cases.
The medical properties of garlic
were well known in our grandmother's
days, and no garden was considered
i complete that did not make provision
for medicinal herbs including garlic
Jut the medical lore of women has
tlmost died out. While traveling in
France recently an army doctor found
an old peasant woman carrying a
bunch of garlic. She said she rubbed
pieces of garlic on sores and found
that they cured them. Native apothe
caries In India effect cure* by using
it its a plaster. Garlic is a popular ]
article of diet In southern Europe, and
Is pungent flavor may be detected any'
day when passing through the foreign
quarters of our cities The discovery
of Its antiseptic properties has en
hanced Its value. English druggists
now order it by the ton where former
ly they only stocked small quantities
The Juice costs about six cents an
ounce. It Is obtained by crushing the
vegetable. The Juice is then Altered
dllluted with three or four parts of
distilled water, and applied to the
wound with a syringe.

ONE KATALLA COMPANY
WILL MINE COAL
The Alaska Petroleum and Coa
Company has received notice from the
Jt.ueau land oillce that one of their
ecu! claims In the Bering river coai
fields has been permitted to go ti
patent says the Seattle P. I. The claim
was one of a group of sixteen claims
owned by the Llppy Davis Co.
It is estimated that the claim for
which patent has been granted con
tains five million tons of coal and It
is announced that operations will be
gin Immediately to open the mine on
an extensive scale. Miners will be
employed all winter and supplies will
be sent north to Katalla on one of the
earliest steamers of the Admiral line.
The Llppy Davis property Is located
approximately twenty five miles from
tide water, but adjacent to the railroad
survey of the Copper River railroad
branch line to the coal fields and It Is
believed that the railroad company Is
also planning to construct the Katalla
branch next summer.
The Llppy Davis coal claims havt
been held up for many years through
| the actlvltes of the conservatlonallsts
and a decision adverse to the claim
ants was rendered by the land office
| on the grounds that sufficient develop
ment work had not been performed to
determine the value of the coal de
posits. The case was appealed and
has resulted In the coal claim owners
being given title to one claim.

ANIMALS, PLANTS LIVE IN SALT WATER
;
»
i Just west of Promontory Point sta
| tlon, Utah, Is a pond cut oft from
I the Great Salt Lake by the railroad
embankment. At times of high water
in the lake this reservoir fills by per
colation through the embankment, but
during the summer this water is con
centrated to a brine by evarjoratlon.
The deep pink ooolr of the brine la
a phenomenon that appears in salt
ponds generally when a certain con
centration is reached. In the salt
ponds of San Francisco bay this color
ia due to a certain bacillus which lives
in saturatod brines and also in the
heaps of salt as It Is piled for drainage
und shipment. Prohibitive to life as
such an environment might be oonsld
ered, strong natural brines are. In fact
Inhabited b> a number of minute
organisms—animals as well as plants
The pink color disappears In winter or
when fresh water is Introduced fm&
the pond. The Southern Pacific Co
has done some experimental work on
preserving plies and railroad ties by
soaking them In the pond.

FREAKS OF THE
CENSORSHIP
The London Dally News complains
that after overyrbody had been talking
about the battle of Loos for a week a
lengthy description of tho battle was
recti vert and was allowod to be print
ed- all but the name of the place
where It had occurred. That was
carefully eliminated by the censor
Another Instance Is also given by the
same authorltly. It undertook to quote
a couple of well known lines from
K'C'Ung:
The tumult and the shouting dies.
The captain and the kings depart
The censor scented some danger, and
the couplet, after having passed
through his hands, appeared In this
form:
The tumult and shouting dies
The captains . depart.
After this, say* the Dally News, we |
may well ask whether, when the time
comes for peace celebrations, It will
be reported that enthusiastic crowds
sang "God Save the.”
The Times complains that when one
of Its writers undertook to pay a trib
ute to the nerve, tenacity and skill
of the German soldiers at the battle
of Loos the censor struck It out, and
thus deprived the British soldiers of
the honor and credit due them In
attacking such formidable forces
