Burning Money in War.

Some idea OF the cost of modern
warfare can be arrived at by taking a
Japanese warship like the Kasuga or
Nysshin and calculating the number
OF shcts she would discharge. The
frst-namcd ship carries four cannon,
which cost $4,000 each. One of these
guns can fire two shots per minute,
and every shot costs$400; thus in five
minutes these four cannon can dis.
charge forty bombs at cost Of s16,-
000 The smaller cannon cost each
$4,000, and every shot they FIRE
means an expenditure of $40. They
are very rapid. and II Is estimated
that In five minutes the twelve cannon
could discharge shot 70 the value OF
nearly S35. 35.000.-Leslie's Weekly.

EnqIIsh Woman Good Rifle Shot.

IN the near future marksmen in
some parts of the United States will
probaly find themselves opposed on
the shooting range to one of the clev-
crest rifle shots in England-Miss
Florence Lewes, tho young woman
whose exploits at the annual British
shooting competition this year have
attracted wide attention all over the
world. Miss Lewes. who is n grand.
niece of George Henry Lewes, ex.
planned, just after she had made 33
out OF possible 80 bulls-eyes at 200
yards. that she took up shooting not
long ago because she intends TO emf

pearance on American ranges is
