177e inches. the French gun of 16.5inch
calibcr, and the Armstrong gun OF l62j-
inch caliber which Is carried on the battle
ships Benbow and Sans Percil. Not one
of these compares In point Of energy and
range with the 10lnch gun Just completed
for the government. The range and energy
Of the American gun Will, of course, vary
with the quality and amount of powder
used, and the question Of the actual per
Torrance of the gun can, therefore, only
bo determined by actual trial tests. With
smokeess powder, as Mt present proposed,
the gun requires a powder charge OF J7d
pounds, but II the old black powder Is used,
11T6 pounds will be required. With a max
imum powder pressure Of between 1900
and $4,000 pounds TO the square Inch, II
Is estimated that the gun viii throw a
projectile weighing 1910 pounds, with
nuzzle velocity Of 1900 feet a second, de.
veloping a muzzle energy of 5000 foot
tons, but II is not improbable that by using
a lower burning powder giving a less max
imum pressure, the gun would develop

THE SWEETEST GIRL OF ALL.

I've sung OF the girls that play at golf,
or the girls who fish and shoot
I've sung OF the maid who's not afraid
To pose In her bathing suit.
I've sung OF the girl who weds a duke,
And lives in a palace hall;
And the footliPht maids, with their lights
and shades,
I've sung OF them, one and all.
But now will sing in a soft refrain
or the girl you would like 10 know;
The girl who can cook without paper or
book,
The girl who can darn and sew,
OF the girl who never went far from home,
Who Is void OF all social schemes:
who is homely and neat, oid-fashioned ana
sweet,
The girl whom you see in your dreams.

WAS Nor SURPRISED.

Washington, July 13.-Mr. WI. the
Chinese minister at Washington. was not
surprised to hear Of the appointment OF a
successor TO himself. as he had been ex-
pecting an announcement OF this character
for some time. He had received notice that
his services would be required in another
capacity and for this reason has been
prepared TO hear Of the naming OF his sue
cessor at any time.
Sir LANG Chen, the newly appointed min.
lister. is a comparatively Young man, be-
ing only little over 20 years Of age. Like
the present minister, he Is said to be n
man OF progressive ideas, whose opinions
have been formed from his education, which
was received partly IN the United States,
from his former connection with the Chi
nese embassy here and from his contact
with European civilization in the course VI
several special missions. Chen was one
Of the four parties OF Chinese boys who
were sent TO the United States about
twenty years ago for the purpose OF com.
plotting their education. The idea OF the
Chinese government was to have each of
the boys spend fifteen years in this couih
try. ten years in the preparatory schools
and the remainder in the universities. Be
fore Chen had completed his course how
ever the plan was discontinued and lie
returned home.

EIGHTY OIL WELLS.
The Unique Position Of the Eastern
Consolidated Oil Co.

The Eastern Consolidated Oil Com
pany occupies unique position, and
for this reason: Although it is a
young company, and it's oil holdings
are not one hundredth part developed
it is paying rich dividends and all OPP
Grating expenses from the actual sales
of oil each month.
This is a remarkably healthy con-
ditiOn Of affairs that cannot fail to
appeal to investors. Very briefly out
lined the facts are these: The Eastern
Consolidated Oil Company, with Hon.
Ernest Cady, former lieutenant gov
ernor of Connecticut, president, con-
trolls, in fee simple or perpetual lease,
over 21.O00 acres of the richest oil
lands of Ohio and California. On the
Pacific coast. in Santa Barbara and
the Kern river fields, the development
only awaits the solution of the local
transportation problem. These hold
ings are rich beyond peradventure. In
Wood, Mercer and Van Vert counties
in Ohio the company holds 16 farms.
comprising over 1900 acres and having
so oil wells in actual operation and a
large number more being bored.
These wells flow high-grade illu-
minating oil. sold for cash to the
Standard Oil Co., whose pipe lines are
connected with e7different local oil
fields, with a settlement every month.
This sale of Oil pays all operating ex-
penses, pays all dividends at the rate
of 2 per cent. monthly, 6 per cent.
Quarterly and "a per cent. yearly on
the investment, and leaves a handsome
balance each month for the reserve
fund.
Eastern Consolidated Oil stock
sells now for 25c. a share, but the in
creased oil production will soon force
the price to double with a jump.
When it does go up every dollar put
in now will have double dividend
paying power then. L. E. Pike & Co.,
bankers and brokers, in Hartford,
Conn.,, are the fiscal agents.
