For the ship from DER the blue;
But it's sailing and a-sailing
And In time will come to you;
f. Unless, perchance, fierce storms arise,
+ And cruel winds from angry skies
\ Should drive to where death hidden lies
The ship that sails for you.
It's long time awaiting
For reward that's overdue;
The recognition for your toll
The tardy world owes you;
- But 1t will come, however late,
: Unless, perchance, Death opes the gate
And leads you out while yet you wait
The wage the world owes you.
It's long time awaiting
For the Joy that should be yours;
But Joy and recompense will como
70 that soul who endures;
And over all the storms that rise
Above the clouds-are sunny skies,
And Heaven holds glad surprise
For that soul who endures.

"Velocity and pressure, explained
the powder mill superintendent, ARE
the two main requisites in proving
powder. The Government is very
specific in its contracts. 1t demands
that when fred under service condi-
tons in the gun for which it is in
tended powder must give to the pro-
iectile muzzle velocity of ct least o
certain number Of feet per second
without producing pressure OF more
than O. certain number of tons to
the square inch. For modern guns
the velocity required varies from 2OoO
to $500 feet per second, and the press
ure is rot allowed 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 &c
he almost incredible. The limit OF
energy upon the projectile cannot be
estimated, so vast are the possibili'
ties.
"For example, I may cite the Ore,
