There are different kinds of fires.
One is the little friendship fire which
is TO keep one cosy; another is a
tent fire, it is to give light, warmth
and act as stove
70 make II good camp fire you need
an AK and know how to chop. the
best wood is a yellow birch, quite
thick and about six feet long, Make
you, fire ten or twelve feet from the
tent. You then get some hand chunks
and have eight or ten of them. Then
take some birch bark, use your match
and light the bark, because if you
happen to have only few matches
you cannot afford to waste them. You
put this down put more bark on and
place the hand chunks over that and
the log is then put above it by means
of sticks Put in pile at each end so
that it will not kill the fire,

BROWN GUN IS A WONDER
Newly Invented Fighting Machina Said to Have Range of One
 Hundred Miles.

The inventor of the new American gun Is a man named ]. Hamilton Brown. though thewo of constructing this par- Ecular six-inch experimental piece is In charge of Col. John M. Ingalls, retired U, s. A., an artillerist of high standing and reputation. Despite the incredul- ity of contemporary builders, says a writer in Everybodys, Col. In- gals and the officers with him as- sert that this six-inch gun will throw 30 miles a projectile weighing 100 pounds, which will pierce six-inch steel target. A ten-inch gun of this construction, with powder chamber of 14,259 cubic inches and using 360 pounds of smokeless powder, would hurl a 600-pound Drojectile distance of 59 miles. Increasing this ratio. 16-inch gun would have an extreme range of more than 100 miles, and equipped with such coast-defense rifles England and France could shell each other across the channel. The important new principle ] in the Brown gun is the winding of 8 tube of involute steel plates with pol- ished steel wire, thus securing both Longitudinal and circumferential strength. The gun is SIS inches long and weighs 10000 pounds. On forged steel lining tube 34 fat steel sheets, one- seventh of an inch in thickness and sos inches in length, are laid in the same faahion that shingles are put on roof, one under the other But in this case they curl around the lining tube, hitting exactly and form the true tapering cylinder. On the outside of these plates Is wound, back and forth, just as thread is wound on spool, 21 miles of steel wire, which Is so tightly stretched by a special machine that every inch is tested to stand 2,5oO pounds tension. There are seven layers of wound wire at the muzzle and 21 at the breech.. on the outside of the wire, for distance ol 12 feet from the breech, is shrupk a forged steel Jacket to cover the bower chamber. It is believed that no pos sible powder pressure in explosion could burst this gun.

DIsusE OF WHIPPINo-PosT
old-Eashioned Manner of Punishment Is Rapidly Going Out
 of Date. t?S

Notwithstanding the advocacy now and then of the rehabilitation of the whipping post. that form of punishment is losing, rather than gaining ground In civilized countries It Is now inflict- ed in. England and in only. few of tho continental countries of Europe. In the United States 1t is used only in De1- aware and Maryland. And perhaps it still obtains to some extent in Australia
 The punishment is not inflicted upon women in England, Delaware or Mary land. In England there is an increas- ing reluctance on the part of the judges to inflict the punishment. A late re- turn shows that this form of punishment was ordered only in 16 cases in 1903. sevensof these sentences were passed at the central criminal court, i've by Judge Rentoul, and twolby the common sergeant, It Is interesting to notice that Mir. Justice Willis, MT. Justice Law renee and MT. Justice Darling are the only three high court judges who or dered the use of the "cat." .Flogging has been practically discarded In Eng lish convict prisons as a means Of prison discipline, and a few years ago bill to extend the whipping post to a number of offenses not punishable in that manner was refused second read- ing by the decisive vote of 195 to 72

LAPS USE HAND oRENADEs
Explosive Weapon Ts Said to Be Very Effective by Swiss Army
 Officer.

Explosive grenades have played & great part in the Manchurian war" said Lieut.. Louis Rieber, of the Swiss army. "The grenades are filled with dynamite and are thrown by hand. The Japanese have taken many trenches at Port Arr thur by the employment of the gren- ades. which they never could have car ried by the bayonet alone, The gren- ades. about the size of your American baseballs, are thrown by the arm at distances of 50 to 100 feet. The Japanese are issuing them to the soldiers more and more. One experience of the war has taught them that the gTenades are one of the new contrivances which are emil nently practical. I think myself that grenades will be recognized as much a part of the equipment of the modern infantryman as are rifles, cartridges and bayonets. I have travelled on my own account in the far east, but l intend making report to my government on the matter of grenades, and will strong ly recommend that the Swiss army be equipped with them. Yes, have been in Manchuria, but will not tell where. The war promises to be long. Neither side is nearly whipped yet. The Rus sians from now on will be left to do the attacking, and that Is disad- vantage in modern war;

CORN IS lTALY's STAPLE.
Cereal Fills the Same Place That. Wheat and Potatoes Do in
 This Country.

Corn Is a staple article of food in Italy and Servia. It takes the place of wheat and potatoes in this country. Cornmeal mush, known in Italy as polenta, ia the principal diet of the peasants. Corn broad and mush are also used in Servia, says Medical Talk. It is used in the United States among the poor people as Johnny cake, hoe-calse and the like, as Is we'll known. Tn this form the whole grain Is used, and 1t constitutes an excellent article of food for working people. In the finer cornmeal the embryo, or germ, which contains most of the oil, is re- moved, to prevent the flour from becom- ing rancid. In the removal of this oil g considerable value of the corn Is taken away Corn is the richest in fat of all the cereals, provided the whole grain Is used. Corn does not contain 50 much proteid nor albuminous matter as whea:
 but 1t Is about equal in heat-makina qualities, and In the amount of mineral matter it contains. It is exactly with corn as 1t is with wheat, the whole kernel should be used to get the best results.
