These highest powered gun tubes, and
because wire for thousands OF years has
been admittedly the highest physical con.
dition into which steel or any metal can

RANGE OF FORTY MILES.

The first question asked by civilian on
having his attention called to new gun is,
how far will it shootf He naturally knows
that the greater the range the greater the
penetration at given distance.
The artillerist inquiries, what's the pene.
tration or energy of the piece, and from
that, computes the range.
To answer the question in the minds of
the people, our ballistic engineer, Col.
James M. ingalls,, ofthe U s. Army retired,
has kindly computed for us the range OF
the ten-inch gun, 1902 model, as follows:-
"The range at As degrees elevation, 600
pound shot, $500 feet per second muzzle
velocity. will be 4o.S66 miles"
Its nearest rival has about one half that
range, computed by the same authority.
TO BE OUTRANGED is PRACTICAL
LY TO BE DEFEATED, hence the highest
powered guns will command the markets
of all nations as soon as they are ready
to be delivered.

some woman at Hardin Springs, his first

would go out in the eighth round.

PENSION SCRAMBLE.
Commissioner Ware is Confronted
With Remark able Conditions.

Washington, July 2s-Volunteer soldiers
in the Spanish war are making pension
record which promises to develop into a
scandal. In comparing the records of five
regular and five volunteer regiments which
fought at Santiago, it was discovered that
nearly twice many volunteers as regu-
lars had applied for pensions, while the
number of regulars killed as compared TO
volunteers were as twenty-six to one.-< OF
the wounded there were 1876 regulars and
thirteen volunteers. The two regiments
which stand at the head of the list of
pension applicants are the Ninth Massa-
chusetts and the Eighth Ohio. which had
no wounded and no killed.
The pension office records make the
startling disclosure that while the Eighth
Ohio landed in Cuba with 1900 members.
total of 705 pension claims have been
filed, either by the soldiers or their rela-
tives. This regiment has filed pension
claims for SO per cent of the members
which landed in Cuba. While the figures
for all regiments have not been made pub
lie, 1t is said that many other regiments
have filed fully as large percentage of
pension claims as the Eighth Ohio
Four Of the volunteer regiments have
more applicants for pensions than the
Seventh United States infantry, a regi-
ment which lost thirty-four men in battle
and ninety-nine wounded. The First
District of Columbia, which had no men
killed or wounded has filed more claims
named, with the exception of the Seventh
infantry. The five regim ents named from
the north and east far Outnumber any
regiments from the south or west in maxi
ing applications for pensions. Eugene F.
Ware, the pension commissioner admitted
his surprise when the summaries COM
piled from the records were shown him.
1T at loss to explain the great num-
Der of applications and shall have some of
my clerks examine into the records of
other regiments" Mr.. Ware said. st can
think of but one explanation for this
founding number of pension applications.
When the regiments returned from Cuba
the men probably were suffering from the
effects of the tropical climate and felt
that their health was permanently inn
paired. On this supposition claims were
doubtless filed by many men who have
since recovered their health completely.
When I left the service at the end of the
Civil war my health WAS poor and I felt
though I would never recover. A few
months in a northern climate restored
me completely and this was probably the
experience of many of the boys who cam
paigned in Cuba"

The Texas Fever is Dying Out.

Texas fever epidemic in the cattle coun-
try east of Arkansas City seems to be in
much better shape now than at any
time lately. The United States cattle
inspector, Foreman, has made a COM
plete examination of the fever district
and believes it has been checked to a
great degree. The cattle on many of
the ranches were dipped just as soon
as the first case of fever made it's ap-
pearance. In spite of this at least 200
cattle have died with the disease. The
inspector has issued a notice to all far
mers warning them not to drive cattle
over roads that have been used by the
diseased cattle. The dipping process
will render the cattle free from. fever
ticks for about four weeks. The cat
tlemen feel encouraged over the condi-
tons at this time.
