WHAT IS FEAR?
A Feeling Based on the Instinct Of Self
TX Pretervation.

A Feeling Based on the Instinct Of Soil
i Preservation.
That well known investigator OF
psychological abGtrusities, NJ Fernando
/ Mazade, has attracted much attention
by discussion of the query, what
Is fear" The famous psychological
playwright, Alfred Capus, who has
dealt with the human emotion with
such fidelity in his masterpieces
| writes.
'.In general, think that when there
is an accident or an illness one has not
sufficient perception Of the peril to
have the feeling of fear. Fear implies
n consciousness of danger and the re-
fusal or moral impossibility to face it.
Fear consists in capitulating to the In
stinct of self preservation.
M. Victor Marguerite says "Fear is
a physical trouble much more than
feeling" and can ultimately be over
come by force Of will NJ Alfred Me-
zieres Of the French academy consid-
ers that fear is caused by some unex-
pected danger. M. Pouchet Of the
Academy Of Medicine doubts whether
any man has ever been quite free of
fear for himself or for others.
M. Sicard, who is professor at the
Faculty Of Medicine, considers fear or
courage to be the result Of tempera-
ment, training and thought. Fear can
be partially eradicated by reasoning
and education, but 1t will never be
overcome in its most acute form
namely, the instinct Of self preserva-
ton. The conclusion Is that 1t is far
from being unanimously admitted that
fear is a ridiculous malady.-Philadel-
phia North American.

WORK NECESSARY
IN MANUFACTURE or BIG GUNS

1t is evident of course that the
powerful guns used in modern war
fare, with their long range and
their enormous penetrating power
must be of tremendous size and
must be very strongly made in or
der to Withstand the strain to
which they are subjected but few
people, unless they have seen these
huge engines of destruction and
know something of the processes
involved in their manufacture
have very distinct idea of their
real size and strength. 1t is truly
an awe-inspiring sight to see the
gigantic barrel of one of these
guns. weighing many tons. seized
firmly in the grip of ponderous ma
chimes which lift and turn it and
forge and weld it with titanic
blows until at last it comes out fin.
ished and complete.
The making of these guns is in.
terestingly described in the Chica.
go Journal as follows: A solid ip-
got of steel, some so feet in length
and weighing about 100 tons, is
employed in the making of a l3-
inch gun. After being forged and
then allowed to cool, so that it may
be toughened for the heavy work,
this gigantic bar of steel is press
ed into cylindrical shape by pow
erful hydraulic press, which exerts
a pressure of anything between s.
600 to 10000 tons to the square
inch. Later. what is known as the
trepanning operation is carried
out. namely. drilling the bore
from end to end. Next the bore
is ritied.
The most impressive sight, how,
ever. is the hardening process,
when the rough weapon is heated
to a dazzling white heat and plung-
ed into a well full of oil. If the
operation takes place in the night
time the sight of this big glowing
bar of metal being lowered appar-
emily into the bowels of the earth,
issuing leaping tongues of flames
from the burning oil, may be liken-
ed to scene from Dante's Inferno.
The gun is left to cool in the oil
bath, out of which it comes hard

operation to make the weapon
stronger and impart to it some
measure of elasticity This wire
winding is much the same in prin-
ciple as the whipping on the handle
of cricket bat. In this case,
however, the whipping takes the
form of strong steel ribbon,
which is wound around the body of
the gun. Every 13-inch gun has
about 100 miles Of this steel rib
bon wound about it. Some idea
