OF Congress will be armed with l4-inch
guns. At one time cannon OF that size
were considered unsafe, and they prop
ably were so in fact. The belief was
based on the disastrous bursting OF one
or two 13-inch guns. Since that Time
however better gun metal has been ob-
tainabIe, and better methods of putting
it in shape have been adopted Besides,
both England and the United States
most ella borate tests. independently OF
the other. each country seems to be fully
warranted in employing bigger weapons
than it has employed for the last fifteen
or twenty years. but recent experiments
made on opposite sides of the Atlantic
are mutually corroborative.
Still another modification of British
practice is about to be made. On each
of the early Dreadnoughts and the
cruisers of the Infiexible class some of
the guns were mounted on a linerunning
fore and aft through the centre Of the
ship but one pair was placed on each
side. In the pioneer ship of the all-big-
gun type the side pairs were directly
opposite each other. Later they were
arranged en- echClOn or slantwise.
Even the second plan has not proved
altogether satisfactory. According to
"Engineering'' Uondon), Great Britain
has now decided to put all the turrets,
or barbettes. on the central line. From
the first this arrangement has been
favored by the United States, and its
adoption by England is a compliment to
the designers of the Michigan, the South
Carolina and the later American Dread

any work in behalf of reduction on

y tariff on wool will of necessity be
driven TO set with those who want a

For the last few weeks we have been
hearing daily that the Democratic party
IS going to get together on the tariff
issue. 1t seems to be getting together
in the usual way. No one will know
what tariff programme the Democracy
stands for until the followers of Mr..
Bailey and those of Mr.. Bryan have
mingled in a finish fight.

The United States Brewers Associa-

that the increase in the consumption of
beer and spirits in the last decade has
been much greater relatively than the

cover nearly half the country Neither

A PRIVATE LIGHT PLANT
FOR THE FARM HOME.
AT a Moderate Cost Oil Lamps
Can BE Replaced With Up
to-Date System.

At an initial cost of less than $500
and a nominal yearly expenditure, a
farmer can replace the oil lamps in
his home with a private lighting sys-
tenn which will compare favorably in
convenience and economy to a city
lighting service. How such a sys-
tenn can be installed and maintained
is explained in a bulletin just issued
by the Engineering Experiment Sta
ton of the University of Missouri.
The bulletin is entitled: "Acetylene
for Lighting Country Homes"
Acetylene, as explained in the bull
letin, is a colorless, tasteless gas,
produced from a substance called
calcium carbide. 1t is considerably
less poisonous than the coal gas ordi-
narily used for illumination. When
burned from a suitable burner, it
gives brilliant white light, especially
adapted to domestic purposes. The
gas may also be used for cooking or
heating, having about two and half
times the heating value of ordinary
coal gas.
Private lighting plants of the kind
described in the bulletin are to be
found in the homes of many prosper
GUS farmers throughout the country.
They are finding favor also as munich
pal plants in small towns and villages
that cannot afford expensive electric
or gas lighting plants.
The bulletin gives complete plans
for the installation of the plant, with
diagrams showing the location of the
piping and generator. A detailed
estimate of the cost is made and di-
rections are given for the care of the
apparatus.
The Engineering Experiment Sta
ton was established at the University
Of Missouri last year. This bulletin,
the first it has issued, is by j. D.
Bowles, an assistant in the station,
who has made an exhaustive study of
the subject. 1t will be sent free to
any resident of the state on applica-
ton to the Director Of the Engineer
ing Experiment Station, Columbia,
Mo. Anyone particularly interested
will be placed on the regular mailing
list to receive all bulletins.

The Polly Still is Sailing.

New York, May.-The good ship
Polly, perhaps the oldest in the Unit
ed States, is on the way back to New
York. For los years this schooner
has been at work, but even now it
can show clean keel to many more
modern vessels.
The laurels are not all those of
peace. In the War of 1912 many a
time the Polly gave battle to craft
twice her size. 1t captured eleven
rich prizes in that conflict. Then
the Polly dropped out Of sight, to bob
up in 1870 in the coasting trade. In
1849 and the succeeding years the lit
tie smartly rugged 6O-footer rounded
Cape Horn six times and made two
complete trips around the world. Of
recent years the ship has been carry
ing lumber between Bangor and 9TH
er Maine ports.

A Visionary Fortune Maker.

Col. j. w. Peck, near Hollenville,
seems to have his neighbors running
around in circles about that tobacco
crop he planted last winter. With
the approach of the fishing season
and an onslaught from the hookworm
visions of welding hoe over two
acre field on a hot day are causing
him to hedge. On finding that White
Burley seed could be had for the ask
ing he decided that raising plug
tobacco would pay much better. He
got quotations on Star. Horseshoe
and Bootiack, then decided to 60 in
for Old Virginia Cheroots, and when
last heard from was figuring on de-
voting that ground to pumpkins and
starting pie factory. The man who
bet a million dollars to monkey
wrench that he would even raise an
umbrella on that whiteoek tobacco
land is offering to bet another million
that he will win. Col. Peck should
be sued for obtaining reputation as
a tobacco producer under false pre-
lenses. -Paris, Mo-, Appeal.

The Commoner.
Queen of Custards "-Beat the
yolk of eight eggs and the whites of
six to a froth; add eight tablespoon
fuls of sugar and beat again; then add
one quart Of milk, and stir all togeth-
er. Pour into double boiler and
cook slowly until the custard clings
to the spoon, stirring all the time.
Add a few drops Of vanilla extract
and pour into long stemmed glasses.
Beat the whites of two eggs to stiff
froth; boil half a cupful of white sugar
with six tablespoonfuls of water until
it forms a thread, then pour over the
beaten whites, and beat until it is stiff
enough to spread, then heap high on
top of the, custards.-Mrs. Sadie
White.
Boned Chicken-Dress and boil a
chicken in as little water as possible
until the meat will fall from the
bones; remove all skin, and chop to-
gether light and dark parts, season
with pepper and salt; boil down the
liquid in which the chicken was boil
ed, then pour it on the meat, place in
tin, wrap tightly in cloth, press with
aheavy weight for several hours, and
serve cold, cut in this slices.-E. V.
Asparagus on Toast-Get the large
white asparagus, but see that it is not
tough and fibrous, as the best is lit
tie green. Rinse we'll in cold water
to remove all grit; tie the stalks loose
ly together so they can be easily lift
ed out when cooked. Set on end in
avessel and pour over the tips enough
boiling water, sailed, to nearly reach
the tips of the stalks, and boil gently
for twenty minutes, keeping the YES
sci we'll covered so the steam will
cook the tender tips. Drain and lay
the stalks on a platter with heads
resting on well-toasted slices Of white
bread. Make a sauce of a teaspoon
full of butter, one Of flour, little salt,
pepper and half a cupful of the water
in which the asparagus was cooked,
cook a few minutes and pour over the
toast.-Mrs. L. M, Missouri.
