THE BIGGEST GUN
SOON TO BE TESTED AT SANDY
HOOK.
1t is Sixteen Inches in Diameter and
Can Throw a Projectile
Twenty-one Miles.

The most powerful weapon in the world,
which Uncle Sam is to use along with
other monsters Of its kind in coast de-
feuse, has been completed at the Water
vliet arsenal after four years labor. and
will shortly be transported to Sandy Hook,
where its remarkable estimated strength
will be proved or disproved. 1t is very
likely that tbs tremendous weapon will
never he fired al an enemy; but even so.
the great expenditure of money it has ne
cessitated will not be wholly wasted. for
who can estimate the moral force exerted
on hostile parties by a gun that is 40 feet
yong. weighs $50 tons and can throw a mis-
sile 16 inches in diameter and ) feet 4
inches long. weighing 2,37O pounds, a dis
tance Of p miles2
The one thing about this 1G-inch gun is
not its great length nor It's enormous
weight. but the almost incOnCeivable dis
tanCe to which it can throw a missile.
Major James NJ. Ingalls, of the 9Th Ar
tillery estimates that the 16-inch gun will
send its one-tOn bullet 209IS miles. With
the gun mounted on Sandy Hook it could
reach all of Manhattan as far north as
Central Park and any part of Brooklyn.
The firing table for the gun, prepared by
Major ingalls,. shows that this range is at
tainable with a muzZle velocity Of 900
feet per second, the necessary angle of
elevation being 40 degrees. The trajectory
of the prOjectie shows that in ranging to
2OsTs miles the shell would reach the
maximum elevation of 3O.516 feet. This is
enormously greater than the maximum
range hitherto obtained by any other gun,
which at present stands to the credit of
the Krupp 9.45-inch gun. which was fired
on the Meppen range. In the presence of
the Emperor of Germany, April 2S, 1892.
The measured range was found to be D.
40 yards. or. roughly speaking. 12l2 miles.
The greatest height reached by the krupp
shell in it's flight was 21,45S feet, and the
time occupied between the firing of the
gun and the striking of the projectile was
40 - seconds.

With eggs at 33 cents a dozen, an

barefooted, raked the new mown hav;
we have heard Of the maid in the ear

the lay theapoets sing of the rustiing

ALI the lays of tongue or pen, there is
naught like the lay OF the American
hen. Long, long before Maud raked
the hay, the American hen had begun
to lay. and ere the milkmaid stirs a
peg, then the hen had dropped her
egg; the corn must rustic and the
birds of spring il they hold their own

party. He is in position to do much
more The Office of State Printer
is the most valuable in financial
way which the party has at its dis
pOsai. 1t should gO to a man who can
give something in return for it, The
Office of State Printer would strength
en- the Capital, and the Capital in
turn would strengthen the party.
And then it is worth while when
the Republican party has things at
its disposal to give them to men who
stand for the better things in our
civic, moral and social life. Capper
has, unaided. made a place for himself
in the business and social fabric of
Kansas. His methods have always
been Clearly, his object admirable.
There is not in all his career the sug-
gestion of unfairness or dishonesty.
He has been true to himself, to his
friends and to all the recognized
standards of better living. His cleo
tion to the Office he asks would be dis
tinctly credftabl to the Republican
party, and would at the same time
conserve its best interests
|, And that is why this paper, whose
editor set type with Capper seventeen
years on the Topeka Capital, favors
the candidacy of Arthur Capper for
State Printer, and we believe the Re-
publicans of Kansas will look at it
the same way we do.

Great Newspaper Bargain
THE SEMI WEEKLY CAPITAL AND
:. The WORLD ONE YEAR FOR
81 so.

The Semi Weekly Capital, published
at Topeka, is one of the best farm
newspapers published anywhere. Re-
alizing that good market report is
one of the most valuable features of
farm newspaper, the Capital prints
twice week full report of all the
markets of the world. including To-
peka, and the report is absolutely re-
liable.
It prints all the news of the cIviliz-
ed world fresh from the wires of the
Associated Press, covering the field
more thoroughly than any of the met
ropolitan weeklies. But in the mat
ter OF Kansas news, it has no competi-
tor, our large corps of special cores
pondents enabling us to cover the
field thoroughly. Outside of your own
home paper, you can get more local
Enewsfrom the Capital than from any
other paper published
Editorially it labors INCREASINGLY for
the States moral and material well
fare. While strongly republican in
politics, its editorials are fair and un-
prejudiced. and its news columns are
open alike to the doings of all politi-
cal parties. -J.
