RESULTS OF TESTS
WORK OF ORDNANCE AND FORTI-
FICATIoNs BOARD.
An Appropriation of $2Oo, 900 Wanted
to Continue Tests Of Guns and
Ammunition.

The board of ordnance and Notifications.
| of which Lieut. Gen. Miles is president. has
submitted to the Secretary of War report
of the tests and experiments of ordnance
conducted by it during the past fiscal year
for the solution of several important mill
tary problems. A detailed statement is
made of each test, but the result in all the
important tests has been already made
public, particularly in the case of the field
gun recently adopted.
The board says that the firing at shields
and dummy guns on mounts capable of be-
ing traversed is believed to be the first time
that such test has been conducted. The
results confirmed the board in its previous
recommendation that all coast defense guns
on non disappearing barbette mounts should
be provided with protective shields. Further
experiments in this line have been provided
for and are under way.
DR.. Langley's Experiments.
Much interest has been aroused in the
subject of air navigation by recent expert
ments with the Langley aerodrome and by
the published statement of awards to be
given by the commissioners of the St. Louis
exposition
The board has made allotments aggregat-
ing $4,000 for experiments to be conducted
under the direction of DR.. s. p. Langley
secretary of the Smithsonian Institution.
This sum has been exhausted, and the work
Is now going on from fund at the dis
posal Of DR.. Langley. The board says that
no more need be said at this time than that
the progress of the work is satisfactory
The present and prospective demands on
the funds of the board, it is sumbitted,
cessitate the appropriation of 100000, and
it is recommended that the appropriation be
made in a single amount to enable the
board to make all needful and proper pur-
chases, experiments and tests to ascertain,
with view to their utilization by the gov
eminent the most effective guns small
arms, cartridges projectiles. fuses, eXplo-
s1Ves torpedoes, armor plates and other i'm
plements and engines of war, etc.
Target Practice
1t is recommended that all target prac-
tice, except subcaliber, should be with full
service charges of smokeless powder, as in
no other way, says the board, can the guns
be satisfactorily operated the personnel
adequately instructed in their manipulation
The present allowance of ammunition has
not been sufficient-to thoroughly test the
guns after their installation.
The board renews the recommendation
contained in its last two annual reports
that steps be taken at early date to pro-
vide the coast artillery personnel with suit
able ranges and other facilities for carrying
out each year a system of practical drill
and target practice with heavy guns I'M
der conditions approximate those of
actual service.

Solving Industrial Problems.

Masonry teaches and fosters in the man
the qualities of self-respect and self-hep-
the qualities that make a man fit to stand
by himself-and yet it must foster in him a
genuine feeling for the rights of others and
for the feelings of others
You take any lodge where. as is the case
in own little lodge, you see the capital

of every kind of social position and wealth.
and see them meeting together as Masons
in the fullest sense of the word, with a feel
ing for one another that goes with Masonry
When one sees a lodge such that
meeting such as that, one sees how a GER
tain small fragment of our industrial prob
lem is to be solved. 1t is not possible to
present the idea | would like to bring out
to have all the best Of all classes represent
ed in Masonry in every district. but it is
possible for each OF us to go out into the
world trying to apply in his dealings with
his fellows the lessons Of Masonry as they
are taught in the lodge ano>>S they are ap-
piled In the brotherhood. AN SO we can
practically learn from Washington how to
deal with the problems of today

Origin Of "watered stock.n

The expression 'watered stock" which
describes SO well the expansion Of the stock
of company beyond the value of the prop
erty, originated, it is said, in connection
with Daniel Drew, who was once the
wealthiest and most unique manipulation in
Wall street. Drew had been a drover in
his younger days, and it was said OF him
that before selling his cattle In the market
he would first give them large quantities
of salt to make them thirsty and then pro-
vide them with all the water they could
drink In this way their weight was greatly
increased and the purchaser was buying
