Daily Kennebec journal., 1897-06-01

In recent years the American people
ciate the great value of out of door
rest and recreation, as factor in sue
cessful business and professional life.
The schools are more and more appre-
ciating the fact that knowledge ac-
quired at the expense of physical
health Will be of comparatively little
value in the exacting energies and
strenuous competitions of the great
bread winning struggle of maturer
years, which, in somewhat forced
contradistinction to the preparatory
years of childhood and youth. we call
practical life" In a broader sense all
life. that is animated by an earnest
purpose to accomplish ereditabie and
valuable results is practical" The
student needs good physique as much
proportionately for the tolls of his
school days as for those of his more
maturer years. The successful busi-
ness or professional man needs clear
head and the physical endurance
which gives capacity for hard work. 1t
is the growing appreciation OF these
truths by the people of this country
that has given such an impetus to what
some are pleased to term the "out-of-
door fad Boating. horseback and
bicycle riding, hunting, fishing. noun
tain climbing, base bail. tennis. golf,
and various other forms of outdoor
exercise are but subdivisions of this
growing appreciation of the Importance
of health. 1t is movement full of
promise for the American people, who
have long enjoyed the reputation of
pursuing the accumulation of material
wealth to the exclusion of most other
considerations. What indeed lis man
profited if he shall gain the whole
world and lose his own soul?''
In line with the growing apprecia-
tion of out-of-door recreations Charles
Scribner's Sons are issuing a series of
books known as the ''Out- t-ofDoor Lib

joying merited popularity. The va

At Newport on June ] the naval officers

thoroughly by naval officers in order that
the greatest results may be obtained with
th. least amount of actual fighting. For
this reason every year a number OF naval

sea power. Modern naval warfare is the
most expensive sort of fighting.
1t would cost Sl.mo.0oo in powder and

This is the cost OF firing the main bat
teres alone. a ships main battery con-
sists of all guns OF 3-inch caliber. The
main battery is supplemented by bat
terry of machine and small caliber rapid
fire guns.
The estimate in the table as to the cost
of shot is based on the cost of common
shell for the l3-inch. S-inch. 5-inch and
4-inch guns and of armor- piercing pro-
jectiles for the u, 10 and 6 inch guns. In
actual battle n greater percentage of
armor- piercing projectiies would be used
and the cost for the main batteries much
augmented. With this and the eXpendi-
lures of the light guns tthe machine and
small rapid fire. it can be seen at a
glance that $1.00000O of Uncle Sam $
money and over would disappear in the
course of an hour.
3 1t might be argued that a ship would
not put all her guns in an action al the
same time, but in modern naval tactics
the ships circle about and ''yawf from
one side TO the other. so as tc keep as
many guns bearing as possible, and are
so constructed that at all times the heav-
Ter guns can be kept bearing on the enc
my. All things considered, 81 600. 600 is not
a large estimate for the cost of powder
and shot expended in one hours hard
fighting
Some idea of the cost of firing a big
gun may he gathered from the fact that
an armor- piercing projectile from a r.
inch gun costs $377.62. and it takes 430
pounds of powder to send 1t on its mis-
sion of destruction. A 12-inch gun can
be fired once In every three minutes.
A common shell for a l3-nch gun costs
Sll663. and the armor-piercing projectileS
for the same gun at least $500 each. One
charge of powder for a 13-inch gun is $50
pounds. An S-inch gun can be fired once
a minute; a 4-inch gun 420 times an
hour. But 1t is the total5cost of powder
and shot fired away in one hours en-
gagement which is most impressive as
illustrating the immense strides which
the coStiness of naval warfare has made
of late years One single naval engage
ment OF any duration would cost more in
the value of powder and shot expended
by the opposing fleets than 1t would have
