AS to Uses of Soap,

Can soap be done without? Accord.
ing to member of the English public,
1t is quite an unnecessary article. and
man may be kept clean with plain
water. Nations have risen to great
ness without soap. Ancient Rome, our
old familiar companion, Rome, knew
nothing of soap until she came in
contact with the Germans and the
Gauls, who used it to brighten the
color of the hair. Once or twice soap
is mentioned in the Old Testament,
but it doesn't mean the oily substance
that it is today. Painful as it is for
Americans who have lived in England
TO admit, it would be better for gen
eral comfort If more soap was used
there. Thus, instead of advancing it's
cost, let it be lessened and so place
the cleansing article within the reach
of all But the new soap combine
doesn't view the situation in that
light precisely. 1t takes the cake
and the public pays.

A good story Is told of a couple OF

sat at the table enjoying his dinner.
The visitor drew toward the table,
expecting the old farmer to invite
LIN to dine. The old farmer kept on
eating.
Whats the news up your way,

Presently a thought struck the Wis
itor. We'll, yes, friend; did hear
of one item of news worth mention
ing"
Hal what is it?"

five calves"

Same Price For Newspapers.

Ii any class of business men
ever had good reason for the
formation Cf trust with a view
OF advancing prices. the press
OF this country presents that
justifica ton at this time.
The white paper aloue on
which many papers are printed,
costs more than is paid by the
pureha ser for the printed edition.
Tie cost Of white paper has
been advancing for years. Print
ing ink never cost more than at
he present time and wages
we're never higher; yet the
price OF the output has been re-
tanned. The newspapers of the
country in their columns seem
to point out every thing in the
news line pertaining to>the for
nation of trust, in oil, sugar,
paper, coal, steel and almost
every commodity in general use,
but they entirely overlook the
fact that they could aud should
point. with great interest to the
fact that newspapers are sup
plying the public with the news
of the world under a greater
expense of production than at
any time previous, while the
comparative cost of advertising
has not been greatly increased.
The newspapers have been in
the front rank in the develop

MEANINGS OF WORD CALDER.
Either the Diameter Of a Gun or Its
Length Divided by Diameter.

There is surely no word in the nom
enclature of guns, big and little, which
has caused, and is causing, so much
confusion in the lay mind as the word
caliber.
The confusion arises chiefly from
the use of the term in an adjectival
sense to indicate length, as when we
say a 5Ocaliber, 6-inch gun.
The word caliber as applied to artil-
lery signifies essentially ano at all
times the diameter of the bore of
gun. A gun, then, of siXinch caliher
is a gun whose bore is just six inches.
For convenience, and because the
power of a gun, when once its bore
has been decided upon. depends so
greatly upon it's length, artillerists are
in the habit of defining the length of
the gun in terms of the caliber.
The six-inch rapid-fire gun, as
mounted on the latest ships of the
navy, is a trife under 25 feet in
length, and is, therefore, known as a
50.caliber gun.
In the case of small arms, the cali
Der is expressed in hundredths Of an
inch, as when we say a 22-caliber or
32-caliber pistol, meaning that the
bore is % or 80 of an inch in dame
ter.-SCiQntific American.
