1t is stated that the recent missile
test against the ram Katahdin has
demonstrated that the theory as to the
piercing power of big projectiles fired
a modern battleships' range is wrong
that che missile really drops from the
trajectory at SO sharp an angle that IL
delivers a glancing blow and therefore
does not penetrate armor plate of only
moderate thickness. If this is true,
the fighting will have to be at closer
range, and the guns of smaller caliber
than the big 13-inch rifles will come
into greater favor.

The peril of the four young men
who put out upon Lake Michigan in 3
gasoline launch with a supply of fuel
close to exhaustion should remind mo-

out power is helpless in comparison
with a sailing yacht. The latter can
be handled so that she will be safe in
the toughest of weather, while the
powerless motor boat must wallow and
take what comes, unless those in
charge of her have seamanship enough
to rig a sea anchor and ride behind 1t

Russia has not figured extensively
as a cotton-producing country. But it
seems to have ambitions in that direc-
ton. Reports from Tifis are to the eff
feet that the area sown to cotton this
year is double that of 1909. In one dis
trict 400 acres are devoted to the
stape. That is a tiny fraction of the
total in the United States, but high
prices have stimulated cotton growing
wherever practicable, and the aggre-
gate result may be a substantial gain
in the foreign output.
