Faith in ones Self.

When the artist sits down before a

going to try to draw there. He does
not sit down and say to himself: "Oh,
pshawi What is the use? I can new
er make anything out of it. There
is no use in uyingt" On the contrary
he has faith in his subject, faith in
his dream, and he means to produce
the very best that he can. something
which shall surpass all that has gone
before in his work That is the main
point. either in art or in real life-to

treasures of the field, of mining and of
commerce are to Venezuela alone of
incalculable value. The development
of the two republics is practically
without limit, SO soon as the settle
ment of their local internal differences
shall bring them to full appreciation
of their position, their resources and
their prospects.
The Oronoco river is to Venezuela
a perpetual stream of blessing, and
to America she is grateful for its
preservation to herself as her own.
America is again her friend in need"
and when increased railroad facilities
shall more closely bind the North and
South Americas, there will come a
fraternal rivalry that will develop in
abundant measure the blessings that
will be shared by ALL through this
water connection of the Atlantic and
the Pacific. And then Europe will
find hOspitable accommodations for
her surplus peoples. She will also
understand that residence in America,
whether north or south, does not re
quire the protection of her armies or
her ironclads. AS in the United States,
the absorption of other nationalities
will not only bless the emigrants,
seeking an independent livelihood, but
bring prestige to their mother coun-
tries without injury to any.
1t will be as once with New England
when her sons scattered and built new
homes and new empires. The United
States of America has prospered and

citizenship, and so will it be wherever

MONSTER GUNS
FEARFULLY DESTRUCTIVE
WEAPONS OF WARFARE
New Type Recently Supplied 60 Ships
of the British Navy-United States
Has the Largest and Heaviest Yet
Constructed.

During the last two years the Brit
ish navy has been strengthened by
the addition of a new type of gun
which viii undoubtedly go long way
toward insuring the supremacy of
Great Britain over the seas for many
years to come, says the London Tit
bits This gun is known as the
twelve-inch steel and wire gun and is
not only me best weapon which the
royal navy has ever had, but is far
superior to any gun possessed by any
foreign power.
Although it weighs only fifty tons,
the new gun will be the heaviest in
the service, seeing that it is taking the
place of the 10. 100 and eighty-ton
guns, of which no more are to be
made. What the new weapon lacks
in weight, however, it makes up in
power, being capable of throwing
shells a distance of no less than
twenty miles. No accuracy of aim
could, of course, be obtained or MAIN
tanned at this long distance, the effect
I've range being 10000 yards, or be-
tween nine and ten miles.
Altogether the gun is forty-one feet
in length and has the amazing muzzle
velocity of 2,367 feet per second, the
projectile weighing $50 pounds. Each
man-of-war will carry four of these
formidable weapons and when the
navy is supplied they will be issued to
the forts on the sea fronts. A remark
able feature regarding this gun is that
the breech mechanism is of very
simple design, easily taken to pieces
and put together again and can be
worked by one man.
e 1T
and heaviest gun in the world has
United States arsenal, Watervliet,
N. Y. Its range is claimed to be one
mile more than the twelve-inch steel
and wire gun with which the British
navy is being supplied, but it is nearly
three times the weight. Altogether
the new American gun weights 134
tons, is nearly fifty feet long and fires
a projectile weighing no less than
1870 pounds.
Machinery to the value of $500, 900
had to be specially built in order to
make this gigantic weapon, the actual
making of which has taken about four
years. In spite of its enormous bulk
and weight, however, the gun is as
easily handled as the Hghtest field
piece. The breech lock weighs one
ton, but it is so contrived that a child
could operate the machinery which
opens it and swings it clear. In fact,
every part of the gun is built as &C
curately as the works of watch.
In addition to the fact that this gun
is said to possess the longest range of
any weapon in the world it is claimed
that a shot fred from it into the air
would reach an elevation of nearly
six miles. The greatest height reach
ed by a Krupp shell in its flight was
little over four miles. The muzzle
velocity of the American gun is 1900
feet per second and the projectile,
backed by SIS pounds of smokeless
powder, will penetrate nearly forty
three inches of steel at the muzzle.
AS a matter of fact, nothing in the
line of defensive armor has yet been
invented that would stop one of the
guns projectiles at "a distance of five
miles.

Power from Wave Action.

Probably upon no other single sub
ject, save that of navigation of air,
have so much thought and energy
been expended as upon the conserva-
ton and utilization of the power ex-
erted upon our sea coasts by the force
of the waves. And certainly since the
days of alchemists and astrologers
few themes of thought pursued for
practical ends have resulted in so lit
tie reward to their students.
For with all the theories of securing
power from wave action that have
been drawn, and with all the patents
that have been granted upon such
drawings, I do not know to-day of
single machine that is an unqualified
success, or for which the success
stoutly claimed by the inventor is
borne out by the actual operations of
his working model.-Lippincott
