ENGLISH cANNoNs NO GOOD.
A l1O-ton Monster Turns Out to be y
Failure.


Washington, Oct. 23.-American
ordnance experts read with mucn in
terest the dispatches from England
announcing the failure Oh another of
Che 16-inch 11O-ton guns built by
Armstrong for the British navy, but
their ability to turn successful guns
OF that size in this country, and it is
understood that both the army and
navy authorities will recommend the
construction OF 16-inch guns in their
annual reports this year. 1t is not
admitted that it Is impossible to make
Va success OF such large-sized guns
simply because Sir William G. Arm
strong has failed. Krupp has been
very successful with guns OF that size.
1t is believed that the English have
made a very serious mistake in not
giving sufficient breadth to the hoops
of these guns. which have all lacked
longitudinal strength and have
dropped more or less at the muzzle
on being fired. This mistake has not
been made in this country and in some.
OF these guns being built at the Wash
ingtom gun factory for the navy the
FIRST hoop beyond the jacket is really
"A second jacket. It is made so long.
Another reason for the failure of the
British guns is the faulty system of
steel inspection. In the United States
the piece os steel to be tested is cut
from the finished forging after it has
been forged and tempered. Con-
sequently the qualities shown by this
piece can be relied upon to exist uni
sormly throughout the entire forging.
I'M England the test piece is cut from
the ingot before it is forged. and is
forged and tempered separately. and
the qualities shown are taken to be
those OF the entire forging.

Ventilation in Winter.

To exclude the cold on severe nights,
bedrooms are kept shut tight and the
occupants breathing the confined air all
night render it impure. To avoid this
evil other persons ventilate their rooms
more than is necessary, and catch cold.
A simple test to know if the air of the
room is sufficiently pure is the following:
Fill a quart bottle and take it into the
room the air of which you wish to ex'
anime; empty the water and the bottle
is immediately filed with air. Then pour
into the bottle spoonful of clear lime
water and shake it. If the air is suf-
fciently. pure, the lime water will remain
clear; but if there is too much carbonic
acid in the air, the lime water will be.
come clouded OF milky. A few trials OF
this kind in different rooms will give the
experimenter a good knowledge OF the
purity or impurity of the air Of the
rooms. A convenient way is to fill the
bottle over. night, carry it into the bed
room, empty it out the first thing when
you get up in the morning, cork the
bottle tight, and try the lime water in
broad daylight. If the lime water re-
mains clear, a single breath of air blown
into it through any tube or a straw will
quickly show the chalk in the water, and
indicate how readily the air is vitisted
by breathine.-Country Gentleman.

n WORLD OUTFIT.

It would seem that DR.. Alice B. Stock
ham, of Chicago, had reduced the
amount of clothes with which a woman
can travel, to a minimum. DR.. Stock
ham sailed from New York, q few days
ago, for a six months trip around the
world. She carried a small square
handbag, containing her entire outfit,
except what che wore. The sum of those
latter garments was this: One union
suit of light wool; a divided skirt Of
blue serge, lined; a black cloth gown,
made in one piece; a long serge travel
ing coat; a black bonnet and gloves;
heavy soft kid boots, and black wool
stockings. In her bag she carried a
second union suit, like the one she wore,
and one q little heavier, a pair of eques-
trian tights, a second pair of stockings,
a black silk princess gown, and a bed
room wrapper, also of silk, n cotton
nightgown, two neck handkerchief OF
black silk, and two of white, to fold in
side the necks of her gowns, which she
wore low, half a dozen pocket handker-
chiefs, and q black scarf Tor headgear in
crossing. That was all-not a bandbox,
not a p~etticoat, not even q frill. "What
under the armament are women coming
to-" says some man under his breath,
"Solid comfort" good sir, sand less
nonsense about it."-New York Sun.

the following year Professor schwein-
furth made a trip from Cairo to Socotrat
and to him we are indebted for the frs,
pictorial view of the plant. The trunk
is knoll-shaped and grows about four.
teen feet high, with a diameter of from
three to six feet. The .rind is white as
chalk and perfectly smooth, and the
clumsy trunks among the green shrub
berry look more like marble columns than
anything else. Neal Tamarind, tho
largest village on the northern coast of
Socotra, these plants grow in such large
numbers that ones imagination need not
stretch very greatly in comparing ''the
forest hills of Socotra with a graveyard
full of marble monuments"
These plants attain a venerable age;
Wellstedt reports having found at Kad-
hub, not far from Tamarid, in the bark
of a gamhen trunk an Arabian inscrip.
ton bearing the date 1910. The fact
that this inscription has remained intact
so long also demonstrates that the gam.
hen does not shed its bark like our trees
BY the formation of scabs.
The wood is not solid and compact
like that of the trees we know, but full
of sap and cuts like a turnip. A pen
knife is sufficient to cut a stairway into
the trunk of a gamhen, over which the
flowers on the top can be reached.
Aside from its tree-shspe the gamhen
resembles the pompion in every detail,
80 far as :he formation of flowers, leaves
and roots is concerned.-Neu York Re.

around the lids, and wouldn't draw un-
less the damper was turned, when it
wouldn't bake, and it has made of these
a thing useful and artistic, the modern
stove. 1t has been complex problem"
This was the story of the stove as told
by an authority on stoves, a practical
business man, who believes the modern
world owes the ancient nothing, and
who holds 10 an expansive system Of
evolution as his philosophy. He had no
faith in the words, .'There is nothing
new under the sum-" and was doubly
sure that they would not apply to the
modern stove. He was in part right.
Our English and German and Irish an
cestors from the north OF Europe didn't
know so much about stoves 100 years
ago as they do to-day; there has been a
wonderful development; but they did
make stoves, and stoves in some respects
very similar to those now in use, as far
back as 1900 years ago. They were not
exactly like the stoves of to-day, but
they had some features which have been
adopted recently.
Under the lava and ashes which over.
whelmed Pompeii the Roman kitchen
was just as well preserved as the Atrium,
and the stove of that date was as safely
kept packed in the scorie Of old Vesuvius
as the statue of Apollo.

An African Pumpkin.

Through their many biological pecu'
l~iarities the family of the pompion has
become known to everybody. Cucum-
bers, melons and pumpkins belong to
the heaviest fruits and yet they grow on
q very slender stalk. But as a protec-
ton against being torn by the weight OF
the fruit the trunk of the plant either
creeps along the ground or winds around
other plants or props that happen in ito
way. Bearing this fact in mind, it IL
all the more surprising to know that
among this genius of plants a specimen
is found that deviates from the rule of
being a creeper and grows like a tree.
The home of the Dendrosicccyos is in
the Dark Continent, and this is undoubt-
eddy the reason why we have not been
made acquainted with it earlier. 1t
grows on the Island OF Socotra, where
the plant is known by the name of gam
hen. Wellstedt, who visited the island
in 1884, was the first to mention it in
his ''Memoirs on the Island of Socotra."
In 1880 Soeotra was traversed by Bailey
Balfour, the well-known botanist, and
he described two kinds of gamhen. In

dressed in the latest thing from Paris.
In early days-a century or two ago
the fashions of France were quite al
slavishly followed, but they were not so
easy of attainment. One unique method
is mentioned in italian writings of that
time. In Venice, the emporium for silk
stuffs. and rich dress materials used to
have q doll exposed to public view dressed
in the latest French manner. and rerobed

In Genoa it is said to have been the
custom up to the early part of the pres
emit century for a bride of noble rank to
send her trousseau, fitted to wicker
forms similar to those used to-day, to be
paraded through the streets 0 fher parish
that the people might admire and note
the newest styles. This, though rather
more primitive, is not very different from
the custom now prevalent in fashionable
circles. II Miss z. Is to be married or
Mrs. q. has sent out cards for a recep..
ton, they notify the society papers that
the dresses to be worn on these occasions
can be viewed by accredited representa-.
tives on a certain day. Thus everybody
is enabled to read a minute description
of gorgeous gowns before the occasion
on which they are worn.-Ihe ATgosy:
