UNCLE SANS. BtGGEsT GIN.

There is now being constructed at
Watervliet arsenal a monster gun that
is the first of its size to be made for
Uncle Sam, and it will also probably
be the last. The huge implement of
destruction when finished will be feet
in outside diameter at the breech and
feet inches at the muzzle. It's total
length will be a few inches under so
feet.
The powder chamber will measure IS
inches in diameter by feet in length
and will hold for a-full charge over half
ton of brown powder.
The projectile that will be sent sour
rying over space by this gun will weigh
2.370 pounds. Its velocity when it is
sues from the mouth of the cannon will
be 1000 feet per second and at this ire
mendous speed will have a striking en-
ergy of 4,081 foot tons, or sufficient to
lift "a of the biggest freight locomotives
ten feet in the air.
AT the muzzle the shell would punch
a 16 inch hole through an iron plate
over a yard in thickness, while after
flying for two miles would force its
way through a similar plate 271a inches
thick.
In spite of the great power of such
gun it is exceedingly unlikely that an
other will be built, for, while its SUI
periority was incontestable a decade
ago. SO great have been the improve
ments lately made in gunnery that it
does not compare in efficiency with
ordnance of the modern type.
By building u inch guns Uncle Sam
can for the same amount of money as
will build one of these cannon secure
twice as many guns of greater efficien-
cy and much greater penetration. 1t
is expected that the firing tests will be
made with the monster gun next fall.

We find we're still dependin' on the man

And the hooks are full of stories Of the

The world has been made over by the

When Gods children Snarl the soldiers

RAIN HURT THE PICNIC,
Few People Attended the Railway
Conductors Affair.

The heavy rain which started in about
noon yesterday materially reduced the prob
able attendance at the Order of Railway
Conductors picnic at the fair grounds Few
people were on the grounds and most of
them were out-of-town people who had
gone direct from the Union Station. There
was scarcely enough rain at the fair grounds
to lay the dust until about 4:30, when a
drenching rain set in and resulted in the
abandonment of the unfinished part of the
race programme.
Before noon several bicycle races were
run. In the boys race j. S. Kittle finished
first, with +. Miller second and +. Schoett-
ley third. kittle also got first in the one
mile novice. c. G. Haines got second and
J. NJ. Atkinson third. In the one mile open,
Kittle and Haines again won first and Sec
