ting 4 thatch roof on his cottage. He
asked the man why he did not put on a
tiled roof and was told that 1t was too
expensive.
How much?" he curtly asked.
Fifty pounds" the man replied. and
to his intense Amusement and Joy Mr..
Carnegie there and then wrote him
out 4 check for that amount. Going
indoors. he told his wife the news.
Mon" she said scornfully. why
dInna We say ELS? Go an tell him ye
made a mistake"
The cottaser journeyed up to the
castle and was shown into Mr.. Car

had been wrong about the cost. saying
It would be EOS more. The millionaire
philanthropist asked for the check

the Government proving ground. Sandy
Hook. The gun was fired three times
In the presence Of several hundred
army officers. and Congressman Gil.
lette, Of Massachusetts,. a member OF
the Appropriation Committee Of the
House.
The three tests were marked by the
wonderful accuracy with which they
fulfilled the mathematical calculations
Of the army experts who have had
charge Of the guns construction. The
three shots also proved that the special
smokeless powder made for sixteen
inch guns had been accurately pre-
pared. .
General Crozier said the tests showed
the sun was m absolute success. and
proved that sixteen-inch guns could be
furnished whenever the country want

built Is q question. Congressman Gil

ed that any more ever would be built.
as a number Of smaller guns are n
sIdered more effective than n enor-
