Corn Diet Makes Tall Men.

The proof that corn bread diet makes
bigger men physically can be found
In the rural districts of Indiana. Hi
noiS and Kentucky, where hominy and
corn bread constitutes the staff of life.
A table in any of the rural districts in
those states on which there is no dish
prepared from corn is curiosity, and
In those states men who fall below the
stature of five feet are dwarfS. Six
feet is the regulation size. and men
who tower considerably above this
hight are accepted by the inhabitants
as a matter of course.
Of course. climatic influence must be
considered when stature is under dis
cussioL. but the food forms the basis
of calculation. 1t is generally accepted
by men who have given this subject
thoHght ths-tAtLe SiX-footers of lndi-
ana. Illinois and Kentucky as a rule
were brought up on hominy or corn
bread as the main food supply. If the
crowned heads of Europe could but be
convinced that corn bread will result
in nation of siy-foOters, the Ameri-
can farmer would hardly be able to
raise corn enough TO supply the Euro
pean marbets.-Cincinnati TimeS-Star.

The Effect OF Wind on Lakes.

Attention has been called to the very
remarkable effect of the wind on vari-
Gus inland bodies of water. 1t is moi
unusual for the residents in towns on
the shores of lakes to be greatly in
convenienced. provided a heavy wind
blowing on shore continues for any
length of time. In the Baltic Sea the
level has been altered for upwards Of
eight feet. Sometimes the water Is
blown out of channel, leaving it al
most dry. In one instance a depres-
sion of six feet occurred on one side
of a body of water with a correspond
ing rise of six feet on the other. Lake
Erie has been known to alter its level
4 distance of fifteen feet on account
Of heavy winds, and Lake Michigan
was at one time the subject of con-
siderable interest from the same cause.
The wind was heavy and continuous
and piled the water up on one side,
while the other was so low that peo-
pie walked ont upon rocks where in
the memory OF man no feet had ever

Power OF Powder.

"Velocity and pressure" explained
the powder mill superintendent, 'a;e
the two main requisites in proving
powder. The government is very spe-
cifc in its contracts. 1t demands that
when fired under service conditions, in
the gun for which it is intended, pow
der must give TO the projectile muZ-
Zle velocity Of at least n certain num-
Der of feet per second without pro-
ducing a pressure of more than 4
certain number of tons to the square
inch. For modern guns the velocity
required varies from 1000 TO 1900 feet
in second, and the pressure is not al
lowed to exceed fifteen tons to the
square inch. In some of our guns Of
the present day the amount Of energy
stored UP in the powder charge is so
tremendous as to be almost incredible.
The limit of energy upon the projcc-
tile cannot he estimated, SO vast are
the possibilities.
For example. I may cite the Ore
CONS thrteen-inch rifles. Five hun
drcd and fifty pounds Of powder in
these guns impart to an 1,10O-pound
shot a velocity of 2,100 feet per Sec
ond. and the energy of the projcctile
is nearly $4,000 foot tons. This power
is sufficient to lift such vessel as the

SAT- JUAN'S FORTIFICATIONS.
MORO Castle Dates From the Time OF Ponce
De Leon.

In the Century there is n richly IL
Illustrated article on The Island of
Porto Rico" written by Mr.. Frederick
4. Ober. Writing of the Notifications
of San Juan. Mr.. Ober says:

down by the sea and underneath. This
is the citadel. the initial point of tn"
line OF decentralization, composed OF
connected bcStOuS. castles. and fort
aleZaS. running from west TO east. TO
the Castle San CriStobal. thence north
10 the ocean.
The oldest portion Of the line IS at
the southwest angle, and IS called the
"FortalcZa." the platform of which
supports the captain-gcncral's palace
and was built in 1910. The sea-wall
to the north is pierced by the gateway
of San Juan. which affords entrance to
the glacis of San Felipe del MORO. be-
tween the palace and Sem-bastion of
San Augustine. Turning Southwardly
from the FortaleZa, we note the baS-
ton of La Palma. and the Semi-bastion
of San JuSto. in the curtain between
which two is the arched entrance from
the Marina, or outside ward. to the in
tramural city, and known as the
Puerta de Espana. Beyond it, to the
east, are the bastionS Of San Pedro
and Santiago, the latter in the east
ern wall, the middle part of which is
pierced by the landward gate called
the Pucrta de Santiago, protected by
ravelin of the same name. The fort
ress San Cristobal. though sometimes
called a castle. is in reality an ampli-
fication of the Notifications facing
east. or landward. and extends from
the bay on the south northward to the
ocean.
These Notifications in their present
shape were projected in 1880, and VIZ
tually finished between 1875 and 1G4l;
but San Cristobal and the outworks
were not completed until the compar-
ativcly modern date of III. The east
crn advanced works consist of two
lines of batteries, protected by deep
moat; of the small fort at San An
tonic at the bridge of that name; and
at the extreme eastern end Of the islet
a still smaller fort, San Geronimo,
which defends the bridge of Boquerou.

Insanity in Great Britain.

There are to-day 5526 more certified
lunatics in this country than there
were two years ago. That i the
startling statement contained is the
annual report of the Commissioners in
Lunacy which was presented to Perlia-
ment. We do not forget that ita has
been officially pointed out that the
recent apparent increase in the num-
ber of lunatics is accounted for by
greater strictness Of regulation lead
ing to larger numbers of patients
being drawn into the Commissioners
net. But we find it very difficult to
believe that these swarms of lunatics
are anything like entirely accounted
for by the sweep of the net. The
meaning of the figures will be more
clearly realized when we point out
that, as there are l02, 900 persons lin
England and Wales only who are Of
fcially certified to be insane, more
than five per cent. has been added to
their number in the last two years.
There is now one lunatic to
every 30S sane people, which
strikes US rs a dreadfully large
proportion, and really does sug-
gest that there is something in the
notion TINT the rush and worry of
modern life are peculiarly favorable
to the production Of insanity.-St.
James's Gazette.

YOUNG AT SIXTY.

Serene comfort and happiness in ad.

lively few women.
Their hard lives, their liability to Sc

rance concerning themselves, all COM
bine to shorten the period ofusefulness
and fill their later years with suffering.
Mrs. Pinkham has done much to make
women strong. She has given advice
20 many that has shown them how to
guard against disease and retain vigor-
Gus health in old age. From every cor
per of the earth there is constantly COM
ing the most convincing statements
from women, showing the efficacy of
Lydia Z. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound in overcoming female ills. Here
is letter from Mrs. j. c. Orms, of 220
Horner St., Johnstown, Pa, which is
earnest and straight to the point:
DEAR Mrs. PINKHAM:-I feel it my
duty to tell all suffering women that /

and hot flashes. Feet and hands were
cold, was very nervous, could not sleep
well, had kidney trouble, pain in

Since taking your remedies l am better
every way My head trouble is all
gone, have no pain in ovaries, and am
cured of womb trouble. can eat and
sleep well and am gaining IN flesh 1
consider your medicine the best to be
had for female troubles"
The present Mrs. Pinkham's expert
cnce in treating female ills is unparal-
lellcd, for years she worked side by
side with Mrs. Lydia z. Pinkham, and
for sometime past has had sole charge
of the correspondence department of
her great business, treating by letter
as many as a hundred thousand ailing
women during single year.

a Sew Device in Guns

The tremendous havoc wrought by
Admiral Dewey's guns at Manila
shows the capabilities of modern ord
nance. Machine guns, rapid-ire can
non and great 1000-pounders,
mounted on disappearing cartridges,
all are part OF The necessary equip
ment of frst-class battleship of the
latest type. An electric gun for coast
defense purposes has been lately de-
vised; if successful, it will throw a
steady stream of explosive bombs and
give neither report nor smoke to show
its location. The gun will be sort
of cumulative magnet; that is, as the
projectile passes along the tube it
successfully closes new circuits and
thus acquires a velocity which will
carry it several miles. The advantage
of contrivance like this is that it
would protect the bomb without the
sudden shock of powder explosion,
and thus remove the danger OF burst
ing the gun.-Gunton's Magazine.
