cemented more strongly by each recur-

together, became mature together and
grew old together by this we do not
mean merely that they have passed their
lives together in the same dwllng. That
could have been done and at the end of
fifty years of married life they might
still be as far apart in mind and spirit as
if they had each been dwellers upon ifter-
ent planets. What is meant is that they
have been always thoroughly together
in purpose, in heart and in soul. Haud
in hand they have climbed life's hill; TO-
gether have reached its summit in per.

have well-nigh reached the foot of the

kinds are woefuliy deficient, and Viz
einia, in which the fish and game were
once so abundant, and which with proper
steps may yet be preserved in abund lnce,

Millions of fish .are destroyed wantonly
every year, and the Importance of pre-
venting this useless destruction Of fish is
equally true of Jour game, and more es-
pccially of the smaller varieties. The
slaughter of our birds is something that
should command attention, unless we
would see our fields and forests az COM

The attitude of Delegate Gwyn towards
the proposed bill for the protection Of
fish in the Holston river, If initiated by
his colleagues throughout the State, is
one that would soon make fishing in
Virginia waters Il lost art. The alkali
works at SAltville have been dumping
the refuse matter into the river, thus de-
stroyiug the fish of that stream, ADD yet,
for fear of antagonizng the company
and causing them to seek another aitua-
ton, Mr.. Gwyu is willing to have them
"kill every fish in the river" before see
ing so valuable plant removed. These
are times when it behooves every COM
munity to retain all paying industries,
but if the alkali works are pursuing
such measures as to kill out the fish in
the Holston river, then they should be
made to discontinue it, if Smyth county
never obtained another industry. This
company nor any other has no right 10
poison the waters of the State because of
economy in disposing of waste matter.
Too much OF this sort of thing has been
already allowed, and the State to-day is
badly in need Of such legislation as will

Most people have very little iden OF the
enormous size of some of the Govern
ment's biggest guns. The Bethlehem
steel works has just cast the ingot for
the largest gun ever ordered by the Uni
ted States. The diameter of the-'ingot is
six feet two inches and it's length forty
nine feet. 1t will be by far the most
powerful gun ever constructed, having a
range of from ten to fifteen miles. The
projectile carried will weigh 1880
pounds. Gun and ca rriage when COM
pleted will cost about S240,000. These
figures may give some idea of the adj
vance science has made IN the construc.
tion of war equipments, and will show
how inadequate ordinary armor would
be TO Withstand such q missile. For
twenty years the contest between weap-
ons of attack and armor for defense has
been going on between inventors, and no
sooner hes an armor plate supposed to
be impervioas 10 any shell been devised,
than gun and projectilc has been invent
ed to knock it into Il cooked hat. 1t is

larger would heccme destructive through

such gun is enormous, and it is hardly
necessary to say that target practice is
not engaged in with it every day in tie
week. 1t is the knowledge of the de.
structive character of the weapons 'of
modern warfare hat has had much to do
with keeping in check hostilities between
the nations of the world, since all recog-
nize that war no longer meaus what it
