How Many Shots viii Be Fired7

The number of rounds that will be
hred during an ordinary battle can
only be imagined. We have data from
the Russo-Japanese war showing that
at LJaopan one battery fired $500
rounds in one day, while another fired
3,304 rounds, making for each gun
about Alb rounds in one day. This
was not an uncommon occurrence, and
it shows the expense involved in car
rying on modern war.
The most common projectile of the
three-inch caliber is the shrapnel,
which is in itself gun, arranged by

PANAMA is NOT OLDEST CITY
First Town Built in 1919 was De.
stroyed by Morgan-Present City
Some Miles Away.

Recently it has frequently been
stated (and nearly as often disputed)
that Panama is the Oldest city on the
American continent. The discussion
is apparently settled in a published
letter by G. w. Redway, who. quot
ing from historical authorities, says
the present city was founded in 1878
Old Panama, however, was foundeS
by Pedro Arias in 1919, and in it's time
was the oldest town built by Euro
oeans on the main lane of the Ameri
can continent. San Domingo, on the
island Of Hayti, is older by fifteen
years. having been founded in 1904 BY
Diego Columbus.
when Sir Henry Morgan" contin
ues Mr.. Redway. was doing business
he took 4 ship1oad of buccaneers and
seized Old Providence, an island not
far from the Caribbean coast of the
Isthmus Of Panama, and making thii
the ostensible base of operations. he
attacked and captured Darien, and
thence made his way across the 18th
mus and captured Panama, burning
and destroying the city.
This occurred in 1911 Two year,
later the present city was rebuilt b!
Villacosta, a few miles distant from
Old Panama, the ruins Of which are
still standing. In fact, the site IL nor

NOT A FULL EXPLANATION
Woman Novelist May Be Right as te
Cause Of Woman's Jealousy, But
How About Mans?

A woman novelist. interviewed as to
jealousy, has said: When a woman
is economically dependent on a mar
she is naturally afraid that If he
transfers his affections he will trans
fer her support along with them. She
is afraid of losing her daily bread
That Is the explanation of a
girls jealousy of her sweetheart be
fore marriage. She is really afraid
he will take on the job of supporting
some other woman than herself"
That is Economic determinism
for true-econonic determination be
ing the doctrine (when stated ex.
tremely) that the bread and butte,
struggle motives the world.
Romantic ladies' may find some
salve for this theory of jealousy If
the fact that the novelist in questic-,
is a spinster. As to the theory, far
be it from Mer. Man to question the
Pythoness. But q r;ght-angled query

Habits formed in childhood are usu-
ally lasting. With that idea as a
basis the playground and school au-
thorities in Rochester have placed

disorder they create during play be-
fore they leave the grounds. The plan

results. 1t has been possible to dis

Not Quite Pure Gold.

Into New York jewellery store
there came shy, pretty young lady
with her engagement ring, which had
been bought there and which she
would like to have changed.
The ring fitted her exactly and she
was greatly pleased with the noble
sentiment of the inscription, What
e'er betide, let love abide" but she
did not like its arrangement.
Examination showed that the stolid,
unimaginative old German engraver
had carved in the sentence regardless

Corn-on-the-Cob.

Say what you will about observing
the rules of etiquette in subjugating
the first roasting ear of the season,
but to our mind there is really only
one way to do it and that Is the old
fashioned way-right off the cob just
as nature intended for it to be eaten.
This process of extracting the sweet
and tender kernels is bound to give
1ou the benefit of an exceptionally
Irseh and delicious flavor found only
on corn-on-t -the-cob. And let US give
warning against expanding the mouth

TnEES ON THE SAND HILLS
Hesion That Was Useless May Be
Mace Productive by Common
SeGse MethoGs.

Every ore knows that France has
saved her southwest department from
the curse OF driinng sands by planting
pine trees, a4ll! that Germany has
tanned some of the poorest soil in
Europe to human service by the
same methods. But how many Amer
leans, even Of those who claim to be
we'll informed, realize that a similar
work on at least as great scale is
being performed by cur own govern
ment in the SAND hin rcgicas of Ne
braska?
In this district, where the real es-
tate moves back and forth with every
change in the wind, Uncle Sans for
est rangers are planting trees. They
are pinning theil faith to the jack
pine, as being best adapted to stand
ing the severe cond. ions of tree
life in that country. and about a thou
sand acres are set to- these useful
trees each year. When they began
this work. nine trees out of every ten
trees planted died Now, the rangers
have perfected their technic till al
most nine out OF ten trees live: and
though the work Is only a dozen years
old, it is already transforming con-
siderable region.
Enthusiastic foresters figure out a
fine net profit for the government at
the end of 20 years. One can not
help suspecting that most of this profit
will evaporate but that is, after all,
the smallest part of the matter The
main thing is that region which was
useless and menace is being put to
service. and that the way is being
shown for state and private enterprise
of the same nature on q still larger
scale.
