worthy, and What IL the
Principal Cause.

"The life of gun is one of the most
unsatisfactory things about it, re-
marked an ordnance officer in discuss
ing the war question, "and though a
number of experiments have been made
in connection Herewith, there is no
absolute certainty as to results. A gen.
eral rule has been arrived at which is
thought to be on the safe side of the
matter. and that is that the modern
steel guns should not be fired more
than 100 times. After that it matters
not what the emergency may be, it is
safer to dismantle the gun and send it
back to the shop than to risk firing it,
for the explosion of gun is decidedly
dangerous occurrence to all in its i'm
mediate locality.
''The firing of gun causes the steel
to crystalize, and thereby become brit
tie as file. So far as has yet been
discovered, there is no remedy for it.
1t is not exactly total loss after gun
is 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 repairs. AS is generally known, a
modern gun is an expensive affair,
running from $4,000 way up. It is
equally expensive to keep it 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 it down, nor
the thousands Of dollars necessarily
expended in paying salaries and SUBJ
sistence of the officers and men who
operate it.
''This crystallization Of the metal 10
one of the mysteries of the science Of
ordnance. The gun could be revivified
to some extent by heating it to white
heat, and allowing it to cool off slowly,
but the treatment is not exactly salts
factory or even approximately certain
as to results. It has been said of us, as
Of other nations, that if we kept every
gun we own in actual firing operation
for even "a hours the powder and shell
bill would bankrupt us, and there is
some truth in it. This crystallization
of the metal is not confined to the guns,

How to Manage the Lamps.

Here are rules which will make a
lamp light a delight, and not a smok-
ing, oily nuisance:
Never let the wick grow very short.
Supply fresh one when the old one
seems clogged and stiff.
Do not cut the wick. Rub the char
red portion from it with a soft rag each
day and never fill it quite full. Let
there be at least an inch and half
free at the top of the tank.
Wipe the outside of the oil tank and
of the whole lamp perfectly dry. The
oily exterior is a frequent cause ofdis-
agreeable odors.
Wash the chimney every day and
the shade, if it is Of glass or porcelain,
at least once Il week. Dry the Chin
ney with the regular cloth and polish
with soft newspapers or chamois.
Once month boil the burners in
vinegar. A burner treated to this bath
and dried thoroughly, supplied with a
fresh wick, gives light by which it is
a pleasure to read, write or sew.
