him on his guard.

When I won my first big lawsuit, l
endea vored to bear success with the
same philosophy which l should have
felt was proper in defeat. When got
my picture in the paper as a leading

BIG GUNS SHORT-LivED.
Sent Back to the Shop After the Or
Hundredth Firing.

Sent Back to the Shop After the One
Hundredth Firing.
The life Of gun Is one Of the most
ansa tisfactory things about It," remark
ed an ordnance officer in discussing the
war question, "and though a number Of
experiments have been made in connec-
ton Herewith there is no absolute GER
tainty 8 to the results. A general rule
has been arrived at which Is thought to
be on the safe side of the matter, and
that is that the modern steel gun should
not be fired more than 100 times After
that, 1t matters not what the emer-
gency may be. 1t Is safer to dismantle
the gun and send 1t back to the shop
than to risk firing 1t, for the explosion
Of a gun is a decidedly and extensively
dangerous occurrence to all in Its im-
mediate locality. The firing Of a gun
causes the steel to crystalline, and
thereby becomes brittle as a file. So
far as has yet been discovered, there
Is no remedy for it. 1t is not exactly a
total loss after gun has become dead,
for the steel can be used for thousands
Of things in the way Of bolts, braces
and the like for new work and for re-
pairs.
"a modern gun is an expensive affair,
running from $4,000 away up. 1t il
equally expensive to keep 1t in opera
ton, the cost for each cartridge sent
from It being over $1,000 which does
not include the putting Of the gun on
its emplacement or taking 1t down, nor
the thousands Of dollars necessarily
expended in paying salaries and sub
sistence Of the officers and men who
operate 1t. This crystallization Of the
metal Is one of the mysteries Of the SCI
ence Of ordnance. The gun could be
revivified to some extent by heating 1t
to q white heat and allowing it to cool
of slowly, but the treatment is not ex-
actly satisfactory or even approximate
ly certain as to results. 1t has been said
Of us as Of other nations, that II We
kept every gun we own In actual firing
operation for even twenty-four hours
the powder and shell bill would bank
rupt us, and there Is some truth In it.
This crystallization Of the metal Is not
confined to guns, however. The same
thing occurs in the journals or axles
used on the railroad cars. 1t Is for that
reason that careful railroads put on
new axleS every five or six years. In
Europe there are laws upon the sub
ject, though 1t Is custom with us. In
Germany it is unla to use IN axle
on passenger cars more than four
years. though the Limitation on freight
cars Is not so rigid. As with the Oft
fired gun, the steel in the Journal be-
comes SO brittle by the crystallization
In consequence Of its use that 1t is lia-
BILE to snap in dozen pieces any time
after its life Is ed."-Washington

Ambassador Andrew. d. White con-
tributes to the Century sketch Of "A
Statesman Of Russia" Constantine
the Most Holy Synod. After speaking
Of the death of Alexander II. at the
time when he was granting liberal in
stitutions. Mr.. White says
At his death the sturdy young yards
man became the Emperor Alexander
III. 1t Is related by men cOnversant
with Russian affairs that at the first
meeting Of the imperial councillors.
Loris- -Melikon. believing that the young
sovereign would be led by Hlial rever-
ence to continue the liberal policy to
which the father had devoted his life,
made a speech taking this for granted,
and that the majority Of the councillors
seemed fully in accord with him. when
suddenly there arose in the council this
tall, gaunt, scholarly man, who, at irst
very simply, but finally with burning
eloouence, presented a different view.
According to the chrOnclers Of the
period, PobedonOstzeff told the Empe-
ror that all so-ealled liberal measures.
Including the constitution, were de-
fusion; that, however such things might
be suited to Western Europe, they were
not suited to Russia; that the cOnstitu-
ton of that empire had been from time
immemorial the will Of the autOcrat,
directed by his own sense Of response
billty to the Almighty; that no other
constitution was possible in Russia;
that this alone was fitted TO the tradi-
tions, the laws, the ideas Of the hun
dred millions Of various races under
the sway Of the Russian scepter; that
In other parts Of the world constitution
al liberty, so called, had already shown
itself an neutrality-suspicious.. with It's
plots and bombs. appearing in all quar-
ters, attempts making against rulers
Of nations everywhere, and the best OF
presidents having been assassinated In
the very country where free institu-
lions were supposed to have taken the
most complete hold. He insisted that
the principle Of authority in human
government was to be saved, and that
this principle existed as an effective
force only In Russia.
This speech is said to have carried al
before II. As its immediate result came
the retirement Of Loris- -MelikOff. fol
lowed by his death, not long afterwari
upon the Riviera; the entrance of POb
edonostzeff among the most cherished
councillors of the Emperor; and, as the
consequence of this, the suppression of
the constitution, the discouragement of
every liberal tendency, and that com
plete reaction which Is In full force a
the present hour.

WHAT A WOMAN DID.
To Europe Six Times in Twelve Years
Learned six Languages.

To Europe Six Times in Twelve Years
Learned six Languages.
A plucky American woman, who be-
gan to support herself at eighteen, has
shown how a poor school teacher can
see Europe to the best advantage in
twelve years, says the Philadelphia
Times. Earning a small salary in a
public school, she has taken private pu.
pills and lived frugally, and has been
able to go to Europe every other year
for n two months holiday.
Her first journey was made to En-
gland and Scotland, and was enjoyed
30 keenly that she planned another one,
and saved money for it during the next
two years. The second tour was
through France, Belgium and Holland,
and in order to travel comfortably she
learned French during her leisure
hours.
Returning to her school work, she be-
gan to study German, and at the end of
two years was ready for journey up
the Rhine and to Vienna, and thence
through Dresden and Berlin to Bre-
men. With renewed ardor she plunged
into the study Of Italian. and at the
end Of two years she started for Rome.
She made the round Of the Italian cit
les, and spent fortnight In Switzer-
land. Two years afterward she was
in Spain, and was able to speak the Ian
guage.
During the last year she has made
her sixth journey to Europe, travelling
through Denmark, Norway and Swed-
en- to Russia, and spending fortnight
In Moscow. She carried with her a
fair knowledge of Swedish, and not
only knew the Russian alphabet SO as
to read the street signs, but could make
her own bargains with drosky drivers
and go about without a guide.
In the course of twelve years she has
made six journeys to Europe and
learned to speak six modern languages,
and she has supported herself entirely
by her earnings as a school teacher,
and has paid every penny Of her trav-
cling expenses. Starting with a pains
taking study of the language of the
country which she was to visit, and
also preparing herself by a course Of
reading, she has made the best possible
use Of her time abroad.
The reward for all this energy and
perseverance has come in her thirtieth
year. Her knowledge Of foreign Ian
guages has fitted her for broader work
as Il teacher. and she has left the pub
lie schools to take a position as in
structor in French, German and Italian
in n high school for young women.
There may be higher aims than those
ordinarily involved in foreign travel,
but the persistency Of this American
girl in carrying out her plans is worthy
Of praise. 1t is great gain in any hui
man life, II 1t is governed by a definite
purpose and keeps that purpose stead
lily in mind.

Rain does plants comparatively littia
good until 1t enters the soil. where II
can be absorbed by their roots. A daily
record Of the amount Of water in the
soil would indicate whether the indI.
cations were favorable or otherwise for
certain crops. There is a plan for bury.
ing specially constructed electrodes in
the soil. in order that by measuring the
resistance to the passage Of a current
through the soil the amount Of moist
ure can be ascertained. This method
was suggested by the necessity Of
grounding thoroughly telephone and
telegraph lines. II the terminals are
not continually in a moist soil the lines
