UNDER SATURN'S INFLUENCE
Cars Forces Declared by Wise Men
of the Orient to Be Thus
Handicapped.

A japanese newspaper recently re,
ceived in this city tells a remarkable
story Of the part played by astrology il
the present war with Russia. 1t state:
that Japan has for many years looked
forward to a war with Russia, and tht
mikado got the opinions of the mos
noted astrologers in his realm as to the
most favorable time to begin hostilities
1t seems the old science of astrology is
still regarded in Japan as a valuable all
in determining the affairs of life, and
the various aspects of the planets are
studied with great care. In astrology
every country is ruled by a certain sign
of the zodiac, and the fortunes and mis-
fortunes Of any country can be deter
mined by the beneticent or malefic plan
cts as they pass through the ~country's
zodiacal sign.
The sign of Aquarius rules Russia,
and when the mikado's aStrologers were
consulted about five years ago they at
once gave it as their opinion that the
most %opportune time to begin war would
be when the evil planet of Saturn
passed through that sign. Saturn's in
f1uence is very malesc, and astrology
has 1t that any person or country af-
tticted by that planet influence is doomed
to fail. Saturn passed into the sign
Aquarius last year, and remains therein
two and a half years. By retrograde mo-
ton the planet has now reached the if
teenth degree in that. sign, welding its
powerful influence against the fortunes
of Russia in favor of Japan. Consider
ing the success Japan has so far had in
the war, the prophecy of the japanese
astrologers has been in part fulfilled.
However, Japan must win before Sa-
turn passes from Aquarius into the next
sign, Pisces, for then the influence of
evil will have passed away from Russia
and Japan's chances against her would
not be so favorable. In order to accom-
plish this, Japan is pushing the war with
all possible speed, feeling secure in the
belief that the stars are on her side, while
Russia, with all her resources and vast
army, is for the time helpless because OF
the celestial influence operating against
her. Students Of astrology all over the
world are watching the outcome with
great interest

POWERFUL MODERN N
Fifty-one Inches Of Iron Pierced by
Projectile from Twelve
Inch Cannon.

Speaking Of the development in tbs
defensive powers of the modern guns Of
the American navy. as illustrated at the
Washington naval gun factory, an ex-
]perlenced ~machinist said to a Star re-
porter:
This general development IS not due
alone 10 improvements In guns or pow
der or projectiles, but to the simultane-
Gus and progressive development of all
three.
Less than half a century ago the
heaviest gun gun known was the g.
FOUNDER. This gun was about nine
inches bore, and fired a6S-pound projec-
tile with a ~1G-pound charge Of gunpow-
der, but was powerless against Az inches
OF wrought iron.
Our battleships to-day are equipped
with l2-iuch guns, which, with a charge
| Of 400 to 425 pounds of smokeless pow
der. are capable of driving an 85O-pound
projectile through 81 inches of solid
wrought iron. In olden times it re-
quired nearly four minutes TO load and
fire one of the now obsolete GS-pound-
ers, while the new and terrible 12-inch
guns can be loaded and fired in about 50
seconds with perfect safety.
"If a p~rojectile from one of the old 68-
FOUNDERS hit its mark it was due to good
luck rather than good management, but
it is a matter of proud record that our
modern Finch guns have scored seven
hits in less than six minutes at target
practice while our 6-inch gun has a rec
ord of nine shots and nine hits in one
minute"
The statistics Of a modern l2-inch
breech-loading rifle, as turned out by the
naval gun factory, makes an interesting
showing, Its weight is 101 800 pounds,
or over as tons. Its total length &c feet
s inches. The greatest diameter of
gun body is As inches; total length of
bore. 1920 inches; capacity of chamber,
1908 cubic inches; total capacity of
bore, 81 ,355 cubic inches, travel of pro-
j%ectile, 1866 inches; weight of charge,
service velocity, 425 pounds; weight of
