Looking 0ut For The Boys,

Major Pelham said, 'and we left

and also sent along faithful old

DEADllEST WEAPONS.

In accordance with the recommended
ton of parliament the British navy Is
being strengthened by the addition OF
n new gun which will insure the SUI
premacy of Great Britain over the seas
for many years TO come. IL Is known
as the IL inch steel and We :,un ana
rs not only the best weapon which the
royal navy has ever had. but is far SUI
perlor to any gun possessed by any for
eign navy.
1t weighs so tons, is Al feet long and
has n muzzle velocity OF 1861 feet per
second The projectile weighs $50
pounds, the bursting charge being IS
pounds and the firing charge 1671a
pounds of cordite. The admiralty has
ordered 450 of them at n cost of 10000
each. OF these $50 have been complet-
ed and 800 are still in the hands of
the contractors. Each man-of-war Will
carry four of these formidable weap-
ons, and when the navy is supplied
they will be issued to forts on the sea
front The new gun will be the heavi-
est In the service and will take the
place of the 10 ton, 100 ton and SO
ton guns. of which no more are to be
made.
The best Krupp gun can fire a shot
1914 miles, and the United States gov.
eminent is constructing at its arsenal
at Watervliet a monster gun which,
it is said, will carry heavy shot q
miles. The new British naval gun
though less than half the weight OF
the American weapon, mounted on the
heights of Dover, can, however, drop q
shell on the shores of France.

Latest Fad In Collars.

The dressing of woman'S neck has
assumed more importance lately than
almost any other article Of her attire,
and the smart modiste pays more at
tention to the cut, fit and style Of the
collar than ever before in the annals
of dressmaking.
1t is not merely necessary to have q
soft, straight collar around woman's
neck nowadays. She must stand and
tapping chin supporting affair, which
is just as much an object Of care and
attention on the part of the modiste
as any other portion Of the bodice.
The new collar is a very complicated
confectiOn anyway, and its varieties of
form, cut and style are numberless.
The main point which should never be
lost sight OF, is that it must be very
high in the back, while in front it is
low enough to be a comfortable rest
for the chin.
Some OF the new collars have two
high points rising just under the ears,
while others come up in one high point
in the middle of the back Of the neck.
Then again a pretty full box plat of
soft lace falls over the military plain
ness in the back, while a narrow ruche
of the same lace is turned over the col
lar in front.
There is little stiffness in the new
collar, whalebones in tho back and silG
points keeping it rigid where it should
be rigid. while the front is softer than
it has been for some time York

American Indian Lacemakers.

A complete display of the lacemak.
ing industry of the Indian women Of
the United States will be one Of the
features at the Paris exposition. Miss
Sibyl Carter, director of the Indian
lacemaking schools, is confident that
the lacemaking industry of the Indian
women will solve the problem of liveli-
hood of the Indian mothers.
The different lace schools are at the
White Earth, the Leech Lake, the Red
Lake and the Birch Coolee reservations
in Minnesota, the Oneida in Wisconsin,
the Onondaga in New York state, Ana
dako in Oklahoma and Greenwood in
South Dakota. Several hundred In
dian women find employment in the
schools. Only the older women are en-
rolled as workers. The industry was
founded to give to the Indian mother
q means of livelihood. 1t has been In
operation a number of years. Miss
Carter, as director, visits large cities
in the United States once or twice a
year and takes orders for the work.
The workers are paid for their labor,
and they strive to keep the lace neat
and clean and the workmanship of a
high order. Some of the pieces are as
delicate as a cobweb, and others show
the strong, enduring quality Of the
battenberg and northumberland Elk
