HUGE GUNS
WILL SHOOT
Fifteen MILES

Think of a gun which will hurI
a 400 pound projectile through
nine Inches of the best face-hard-
ened steel 10 miles away from
which it is fired, This is what
Uncle Sans new finch guns will
do. They will shoot beyond the
horizon. In other words, the rams
of the monsters with which the two
new battleships, New York and
Texas. will be equipped is greater
than it is possible to see a target
the size of a ship of the Delaware
type. Under the most favorable con-
ditiCns not even the tall mastS OF
the Delaware could be seen from
a ship of the same size 10 miles
away. And the new 14-inch guns
is effective at that range.
The navy department has just
completed a successful test of the
gun and work will go forward
at once in the Washington factory
to make the 20 huge weapons
needed for the two vessels.
The recent tests made with the
naval service, 12-inch gun on the old
battleship Texas in Chesapeake bay
showed that the efficiency of the
gunmakers had reached a high state.
These 12-inch guns literally made
sieve of the Texas at range of
10000 yards, or six miles. 1t was
the longest range at which actual
shooting had ever been done Eight
to ten miles is about the maximum
for these guns.
The new 14-inch guns weight is
1885 tons. The diameter at the
breech or butt is AZ inches and at
the muzzle "a inches. The cost
CT one gun and breech is $74, no.
The cariafe upon which the gun
will be mounted in the turret of
the vessel will cost $4,000.
The projectile weighs 400 pounds
| and is &C inches, or five and one
half feet, in length and costs $3.50.
1t is loaded with a bursting charge
of AS pounds of "dunnite." The
powder charge used behind the pro-
jectile to give it velocity consists of
four bags of pounds each of
smokeless nitro-glycerine, yet even
then it would be over half minute
from the time of firing before the
projectile would hit the mark Is
miles away.

ARMY REGULATIONS
BEING MODIFIED

Army regulations are being
changed for the benefit of the en-
listed man. The old rules which
have added to the hardships of the
common soldier are being modified
90 keep pace with modern ideas
of humanity and justice, and, in
the course of short time, it is
hoped that conditions will be so
far improved that assertions will be
practically unknown and re-enlist-
ment will be general. General Leon
ard Wood, chief of staff, is working
out the proposed changes and his
efforts have the sympathy of Presl-
dent Taft, who ever since his adj
ministration as secretary of war has
been interested in the enlisted men.
AS long as the ancient regula-
tions continue in force, both Presi-
dent Taft and General Wood agreed,
little real amelioration of the SOL
dier's condition could be brought
about. As long as young soldiers
were sent to Jail and herded with
criminals for trivial offenses, they
believe, the army would continue
to be summed by a large class of
desirable men who would otherwise
be inclined to enter the service.
One of the first reforms to be
inaugurated was that of the SEN
fences administered for slight in
fractions of army law The most
common of these offenses now, as
it has been for many generations, is
desertion, and most of the deser-
tons are unintentional.
Upon conviction the culprits are
sentenced to three to six months
in military prison, not because
their offense merited such punish
ment, but because the ancient regu-
lations had it that way.
Under the new system the pun
ishment for mild cases of desertion
is merely a deprivation of leave,
extra work or the cutting off of
special allowances. The guard
house is only to be used for real
offenders and the military prison
for hardened criminals.

ora, has been received at the FL Paso
smelter This makes the 18th shipment
from these properties during the past
Is months, or nearly one car per month
since the commencement Of operations.
The past years statement, which has
recently been compiled, shows that
during 1910, 1898 tons of ore have been
shipped, from which net smelter re-
turns Of S10,S94.07 have been realized,
an average of $3.50 per ton The min
ing costs were s19.75 per ton, and mar
keting s121s, leaving net profit on
each ton of ore shipped of $22-57- The
Shipping ore was assorted from about
1900 tons of lower grade, or milling
ore, which remains upon the dump for
future reduction in a mill. The average
grade of this ore is about $50 per ton.
During the year 1854 feet Of develop

Climate Failed
Medicine Cured

Tt has been abundantly shown that
rest, fresh air, and good food, do help
many persons suffering from tubercu
losis. But, to be really honest, 1t must
be admitted that the disease is seldom
more than arrested" Something more
is needed.
Eckman's Alternative is a medicine
made for the cure of Tuberculosis. It
has cured this disease again and again.
OFTEN these cures have been effected
where the surroundings were not ideal,
where no intelligent care was taken
of the patient, where money was scarce;
good food and good cooking unusual
vet cures resulted Now we argue and
urge that Eckman's Alternative should
be used in every case Of tuberculosis,
in addition TO good, nourishing food,
and fresh air, which we ali need.

have been made-sve interesting read
