to-day proved stronger attraction
than CoXey's army.
Wilvert arrived here at 4.3O yes-
terday afternoon after series of mis-
haps at Rochester, ten miles east of
here, including the breaking of one of
his long legs. Fortunately this is
good lumber district and a new leg
was provided for the giant hiker in
short time.
Wilvert was giving an exhibition at
Rochester Wednesday night It had
been raining all day and the paved
streets were slippery. In making
turn his staff broke and the Stilt King
fell to the ground. receiving several
cuts and bruises.
Wilvert was given medical treat
ment and after a days rest he con-
tinued his journey. Following his ar
rival here Wilbert made a trip to
Coxey's army camp, where he was
entertained by the small body of
hikers who are on their way to Wash
ington, ID. G.. He will leave for New
Castle this afternoon and will try to
reach the Ohio State line Sunday.

SHRAPNEL IS MISSILE THAT
DEALS DEATH RY WHOLESALE

The shrapnel is known as the man.
Killing missile. 1t is used against
men and animals, while shells arc
used against buildings and fortifica-
tons. The ordinary modern shrap-
mel is hollow steel cylinder with a
pointed nose that contains a fuse to
burst the shrapnel. The cylinder is
filled with iron balls, held in place by
filling the interstices with a matrix
OF resin and tallow that will produce
cloud of smoke when burst. thus
enabling the officer observing the
fire to determine its accuracy.
While the shell is designed to
burst on impact, the shrapnel is de-
signed to burst primarily in the air.
and if it fails to burst in the air,
then on impact. The length of the
time fuse determines the duration of
the flight of the projectile from the
time it leaves he muzzle of the gun
until it bursts in the air, and this is
regulated by turning a dial before
the projectile is placed in the gun.
A plunger falls on illuminate of
mercury if the shrapnel projectile
comes into contact with the ground
or other similar obstacle, and in
similar manner ignites the burst
ing charge of the shrapnel. The fuse
of the shell, which is hollow and filled
with high explosive, to burst on i'm
pact.
Both shell and shrapnel in the
modern gun are made up as fixed
ammunition, that is to say. the pro-
pelling charge of powder is contained
in brass cylinder similar in design
to the ordinary rifle cartridge shell.
and into the mouths of these brass
cases are affixed the projectiles.
From the foregoing description it
will be obvious that, with shields to
give feeling of security to the gun
crew and a masked position away
from the sounds Of the actual battle
field itself, with fixed ammunition
handled almost as rapidly as are rifle
cartridges, with the guns recoiling
at each shot and returning automat-
ically and quickly to the firing posi-
tion without disturbing the rigidity
of the carriage, a very rapid and ac-
curate rate of fire is possible.
The truth is that the modern bat
terry can fire as high as 20 shots per
minute from each of its four guns.
Counting the balls in the shrapnel to-
gether with the fragments, all OF
which become missiles when the
shrapnel bursts, there are about 3OC
missiles turned loose at the burst OF
each shrapnel.
Firing at the above rate for only
three minutes, each gun would fire
60 shrapnel of $4,000 missiles. which
for the four guns of the battery
makes 72. 500 missiles in three min-
uteS,
