The Cost of Firing the Thirteen Inch Gun.


The cost of each pound of projectile
is IS cents, which makes each one fred
represent 1907. The powder costs S3
cents a pound, or S1S1. 80 for the charge
Bags in which it is incased, fuses, etc.
bring the cost Of each shot up to $400.
The expense of each shot makes it ex.
ceedingly desirable that each one hits
the target 1t is sent at.
There are other remarkable features
about this leviathan besides the projec-
tile. Powder such as no one ever
dreamed Of 10 years ago is used. 1t is
technically known as brown prismatic
and takes the latter term from the pecu-
liar shape Of the grain. Each grain is
probably az inches high and in width
and is prismatic in form, with small
hole through the center. Eleven of these
grains make one pound Each grain
would make several rounds for an ordi-
nary fowling piece The extent of the
charge necessitates its being placed in
four parts, each part also prismatic.
These parts are forced in the gun, and
when in place hug one another closely.
Thin muslin bags hold the powder in
place. Baltimore Sun.

Women Who Make The Best Wives

"Omcu w no make ne beSC wives.
Probably there is no old enough to be inter-
ested in the question "What women make
the best wives" who has not some personal
ideas on the subject; but whatever our ideas
on any topic may be, 1t is always interesting
to know the opinions of other people-especi-
ally if they are "braiuy"-on the same mat
ter. In DEMoREsTs FAMILY MAGAZINE for
June the vital question about good wives is
discussed by Susan B. Anthony, Clara Louise
Kellogg, Mrs. Ballington Booth, Mrs, M.
Palmer. Ella Wheeler Wilcox, Ellen Battslle
Dietrich, and others, all qualified by expert
ence or judicious observation to give opin-
ions worthy of careful attention, and every
opinion given bears the individuality of the
author and is well worth reading. Equally
interesting is an article on "How News Is
Gathered; after reading it on begins to ap-
preciate what marvel the modern newspa-
per really is, and to estimate at their true
value the enterprise, % nergy, and forethought
that make it possible for us to learn of the
previous days doinRs of the whole world.

paper on Photography and Crime," which
tells of the application of the wizard art to
