Something About Shrapnel.

Something About Shrapnel.
!! How much copper is used ir
! the manufacture of shrapnel!
) How much steel? What othe,
metalss What is the cost!
These are the questions Wall
street is asking,
Expressed in the language OF
Wall street, shrapnel is costing
European countries now at war
about $18 each on the firing line.
Manufacturers in this country
and Canada are getting from SIS
to more than $1S for each shell,
The additional expense to the
foreign contracts being cost of
transportation and, in certain iu-
stances. filling the cartridge
case with powder abroad.
From the point of view of en-.
gineers shrapnel, one of the most
effectiv e agencies for the destru-
ction CT human life vet devised,
is an extremely complex me-
chan'.sm, its complexity beirg
shown by the sub-contracting of
tlae order received by the Cana
dlan Car and Foundry company
mong SO concerns in the United
States and Canada. The CON-
pany's order called for 5,OOO.-
100 shrapnel, at an approximate
cost of $83,0OO,OOO, or $l6.65
each Close to 2O.O00,OOO pounds
IT copper are being used in their
manufacture or about four
POUNDS to each shrapnel.
The complete shrapnel is
composed of three principal
parts: The time fuse, the pro-
'jectile proper, a hollow steel
shell filled with bullets and a
bursting charge of black powder;
Jand a brass cartridge case, filled
with smokeless powder to shoot
the proiectilel from the gun.
lnis byass idge case is
8 u "a y - ~ islist-
ary rifle or revolver cartridge.
Y The time fuse is very com
plicated mechanical devisce
which may be set to burst the
steel projectile any number of
seconds or feet after it has left
the muzzle of the gun. 1t is as
delicately constructed as watch
or a safe lock and is made large
ly of brass and alloys of allumi-
mum.
The time fuse is screwed into
the point of the steel projectile,
the projectile is filled with small
bullets, usually about ESQ in
number. and is exploded by
means of a charge of black
powder seated at the opposite
end from the time fuse. When
1t explodes the bullets are hurled
over range of about ESQ square
yards. The bullets are 88 per
cent lead and II per cent an
timonv.
The cartridge case is from a
foot to almost two feet long and
is made of sheet brass and filled
with smokeless powder. it is set
off by a percussion cap and will
hurl the projectile up to 5000
yards, making that distance in a
. trifle less than 20 seconds.-Ex.

High Cost of Living.

A good deal is being said these
days about the high cost of liv-
ing. 1t would be nearer the truth
to speak of the high cost of
high living, or more accurately
still, the high cost of low living.
AS side-light on this assertion,
take the following facts clipped
from an exchange. touching the
expenditures last year in this
country:
Eighty million gallons of
whiskey were made in the
United States last year. Who
drank it all?
Fifteen billion cigaretts were
manufactured in the United
States last year. Who smoked
them all?
Thirty-two million pounds of
snuff were manufactured in the
United states last year. Who
did all the sneezing?
Two Numbered and twenty
million pounds of smoking to-
bacco were made in the United
States last year. Who had all
the pipe dreams?
Eight and a half billion cigars
were made in the United States
last year. Who made all the
smoke?
Half a billion packages of
chewing gum were manufacture
ed last year in the United States.
w Who worked their jaws?
Twenty thousand moving pic
tureI theatres paid 25,OOO,OOO for
films last year and 100000
persons saw the moving pictures.

Now such sermons are occasional.

problems that bother the phllosoph-

without enforcing a blockade on the
German coast itself but by stopping
American ships anywhere on the high
seas, cargoes destined for Germany
would be taken into prize courts for

particularly affect the shipment of
cotton and other articles hitherto

BEET SEED AND
THE EN- BARGO

One western industry, which has
reason to congratulate itself that the
British embargo on German exports
was not sooner promulgated, is that
of beet sugar. A few months ago
nearly every beet sugar company In
the west, including one in Utah was
deeply concerned over the fact that
there was not sufficient supply of
beet seed on hand to enable the fac
tories and farmers to take care Of
the spring planting now beginning.
by some superhuman endeavors and
the sending of the actual coin into
Holland, several ship loads of Ger.
man beet seed were brought down
the Rhine transshipped to American
boats In Holland and sent to New
Orleans. 1t is this seed that Is now
being planted in the beet sugar fields
of western America. Most Of the
factories laid in two years supply and
others like the Utah and Idaho con.
.erns are experimenting 1t with home
grown seeds so that their needs will
be taken care of up to and including
the spring Of 1917. Had the British
notice just announced, come three
earlier, the beet sugar output
for 1915 would have been tremendous
ly curtailed .-Deseret News.

work we may safely put 1t down that
they will accomplish something In

himself. He works to elevate not
only himself but his neighbors. He
