A Seventeen Million Horse-Power GU

A Seventeen Million HORSEPOWER Gun.
A scientist has estimated that there
are guns that under fire create force
equal to seventeen-million-ho power.
This seems almost incredible, but care
full figuring shows it to be fact. II
must, however. be borne in mind that
this tremendous force is exerted for
merely the fraction of second of time.
Every schoolboy knows that while he
cannot. on what Is called a dead pull"
or lift, accomplish very much, he can,
by q spring or a sudden effort, move
many times the weight that could be
handled under ordinary circumstances.
BY the same calculation, the guns that
throw 2.2OO-pound projectiles at the
rate OF 1870 feet in a second. will, for
an inconceivably short space of time.
exert a force equal to twenty-four-mii-
lion-horse power.

LOUIS ST. CYR.

his wife and daughter was the guest Of
the fathers at the parish house.
In a few moments the door Of the
room opened and Mrs. Cyr and Melina
entered. The mother was below the
average height, and looked TO weigh
rather less than the 105 pounds she
claimed. She greeted her caller pleas
antly, and said:
Louis will be down in a moment
This is little Melina. She doesn't speak
much French. She hasn't Travelled
with us enough yet"
But said the astonished visitor.
"you don't mean that baby is the girl
who does the lifting? She doesn't look
as though she could put good sized
doll to bed"
Just here Louis Cyr entered. The
man who had few nights before at the
Chicago Athletic club raised. without

however. and after the visitor had
shifted his pencil to his left hand and
made sling for the one the giant
had just grasped. genially joined in the
conversation.
"Mr. Cyr, called to see this little
girl, of whom have heard much. Is it
true that she can lift 300 pounds Of
iron with no artificial aid?"
20, yes" was the reply. "She can do
all We claim for her and more"
But wnere does she keep her
strength? can understand how a man
weighing 346 pounds. with chest like
an ice bin and arms like Armour's prize
hams, could lift anything he took hold
of, but that child-how does she do it,"
The giant laughed and said:
You don't look very close. See
here" and, lifting the girls hair. which
fell about her shoulders, he showed a
width of bone that before was not no.
ticeable.
The girl was one mass Of muscle
about the upper chest. The questioner
saw and wondered. But it was only |
after seeing her feats Of lifting he fully |
realized he had just witnessed an exhi- |
