Papal Sermons Rare.

Strange are the restrictions which
hedge about pope. and one of the
strongest is that he should not be al
lowed to preach. Only once IN 300
years has n pope delivered a sermon.
and that was under exceptional circum-
stances in 1916. On the Octave OF the
Epiphany celebrated preacher. Padre
Ventura. was to have occupied the pull
pit In st. Peters. but was suddenly

perhaps impressed its hearers more
than the finest eloquence might have
done. because OF its uniqueness. Lon

Ireland Called Many Names.

In the time of Pt0lemy Ireland was
known as Scotia. DiodOrus Siculus
calls the island lrs or lrisi: In the DE
MundO," credited by some scholars to
Aristotle. 1t is called Irenne; in the
"ArgOnautica of Orpheus' 1t appears
as Irinus; StrabO calls IL Irene: Caesar.
Tacitus ana Pliny mention 1t as Hi
hernia: Mela called 1t Juverna. The
native names In Celtic are ir. Fri and
Erin. Plutarch mentions 1t under the
name of Ogygia. The name Ireland is
no doubt derived from the native Of
Ir or Err, but when 1t came into gen.
eral use is a question concerning which
scholars are much at variance.

ARTILLERY GUNS.
What the Terms "Quiek Firer.' "Ineh"
Guns and "Pouniers" Mean.


To the average man such phrases
rs three Founders and six inch'
guns are familiar. but he nearly al
ways reads them without fully under
standing their meanings.
A pound gun Is a cannon which re-
ceives its name from the weight of
the shell 1t fires. Thus a gun known
as three FOUNDER" IL 80 called be-
cause IL fires shell which weighs
three pounds. and n gun firing rve
pound shell would be called n 1--we
FOUNDER" The size of most small
guns Is still described by the pound"
but the majority OF large guns nude
today are inch weapons In this
case the size of the gun In obtained
from the size of its bore. Il ten linen
gun having bore OF ten inches in
diameter and a twelve inch weapon IA
twelve inch bore.
The largest British naval guns In use
at present are the fifteen Inch weap-
ons. They IRE proJectile weighing
almost u ton Next To these comes he
l3.5 gun and then the most popular
weapon of all-tne twelve inch. which
fires an $40 pound smell.
There are several smaller kinds OF
guns now In use-mOstly OF the quick
firing type These weapons are inch
guns The six inch. the Al inch and
tue four inch are all quick frers and
throw shells weighing 100 pounds. for
ty.Hve pounds and thirty-one pounds
respectively.
Quite lot of people misunderstood
the term "auick tirer" They imagine
"a quick firing gun to be a weapon
which pours out stream of shot with
enormous speed after the style OF a
Maxim Instead. however. it Is just
an ordinary breechloading gun. which
Is fitted with such vastly improved
methods of loading and aiming that II
can be fred far more rapidly than q
weapon without those fittings. A CUR
that fires number Of shots auto
matically In rapid succession. as the
Maxim, is not called a quick tirer. The
name given to u Is "machine gun.
| There are large range of these
weapons of all sizes and firing from
loo right down to forty rounds VI

The gun which generally nccompa
MES a column into the field on active
service fires a shell of sixty pounds
and is known as the five inch" or, K
use the old term, Il sixty pounder."-

COST OF A TRUMDERBOLT.
What II Would Take In Xilowstts and
Cash to make One.

A Belgian engineer has been making
novel calculation. which he publishes
In the Bulletin de la Societe Beige
d'Astronomie. 1t is nothing less than
the value of thunderbolt in kilowatts
and in cash!
He took as the basis of his calcula-
ton the price that the electric plants of
great European cities charge their Gus
toners for current
Measurement Of the magnetism Of
certain rocks containing iron ore. he
says. proves that the electric current
which magnetized them must have had
a strength of ut least 5000 amperes. In
reality the strength of the current
must have been much greater. since
the rocks were at a considerable dis
tance from the spot at which the thun-
derbOlt fell However. one must be
conservative In treating of such mat
tiers. and the modest figure Of 27.S0O
kilowatts may he taken as fairly cor.

NOISES HIGH UP IN THE AIR.
Where an Echo 10 Louder Than the
Sound That Produced II.

Sound That Produced II.
To cause the echo Of a sound to be
louder than the sound that caused It
seems an impossibility. but under GER
thin conditions this can happen. and
the echo Is sometimes many times
greater in sound volume than the orig
inal noise that produced It.
This happens away up In the air.
For instance. IL an aviator Is. say. 1000
or 1000 feet above ground and some
one on the ground fires revolver
there IL n brief time when nothing Is
heard The aviator can see the smoke
from the muZzle of the revolver, then
wait little. then the sound comes to
him. not like the sharp report of re.
volver. but more like n quick peal OF
thunder. loud and sharp and really
several times greater i'm sound volume
than the actual report of the revolver.
The cause of this is that the air be-
low is much more dense. while up
above It is lighter. and there are no
hills and trees and buildings to help
mull,e the sound. so it comes up on
sound waves with increasing noise
Having no solid background around
and about the aviator. the rebound OF
the sound waves il greater up there
than on the ground.
1t is said 4 man In balloon may
lower an explosive on cord several
hundred feet below his basket and set
1t off with an electric wire and battery.
There is sharp little crack" like the
report Of a fobert rife; then comes the
most terrifying noise. like u great
burst OF thunder. the Ioudest ever
heard. The actual explosion did not
make anywhere near this amount of
noise. but the air being much more
dense below causes the line of least re-
sfstance To he straight up. and so the
sound waves expand nightly in an up
ward direction increasing the sound
