from the fangs of a rabid dog by the
bravery of nondescript dog, the
property of Mr.. Perry, and the con-

While playing in front of her home
the little girl was attacked by large
dog, which came running down the
street. Her playmate, much smaller
than the attacking dog, threw himself
on it. and battled grimly, until the
little girl escaped into the house. The
canine hero was terribly bitten in the
encounter, and when it was learned
that the strange dog had rabies the
hero had to be shot, as physicians
said it was certain he would go mad

cannon are long ard narrow ard al
most horizontal when iring. The
howitzers, which fire at angles o
more than 30 degrees. and the mortal
pieces, which at even greater angles
fire heavy projectiles loaded with
enormous explosives intended to crust
such things as cupolas of forts, are
short and massive and stand almost
vertically.
Why Some Guns Are Short
by the way, do you know the rea
son for the difference in the lengths
of artillery pieces? For instance, the
305-millimeter Austrian howitzer, q
very short gun, fires a greater charge
of powder than the French marine
gun of equal caliber. which is II
yards long?"
/ had never tried to find the reason
of this difference.
And yet 1t is very simple" the
lieutenant said. "The marine gun is
designed to IRE the shell at its maxi
mum speed, SO the combustion of the
powder must be complete before the
projectile leaves the barrel. This re-
quires fraction of a second, during
which the shell covers exactly IL
yards-the length of the piece. This
will give you an idea Of how difficult
1t is to make the exact calculations
necessary in the operating of these de-
structive machines. Thus. when the
combustion is complete, the pressure

mum. AS long trajectory is not re-
quired of the howitzer and mortar
piece, 1t is not necessary to have a
barrel of this tngth, which is incon.
venient.
Surprise Ahead for Germans.
THE largest mortar, as you know,
is the famous 42-centimeter. The
huge guns of this caliber have all the
same drawback; they are difficult to
handle. 1t is almost useless to think
of transporting them by anything but
rail-
And may tell you, we have no
longer any reason to envy the Ger.
mans. Right now, in France, we have
achieved the construction of mortar
pieces still more powerful. which. for
our adversaries, will be a cruel reve.
lation the day they are brought out
ready to fire."
AS the officer did not wish to tell
me more on this subject, spoke to
him again of his life in the trenches
and he humorously related how, on
the parapet facing the enemy, his sol
diers had planted radishes, which
grew very well.
Come and pay US visit" he said
'and you can gather them under the
noses Of the 'boches.' And you will
see that the presence of the Germans
gives them a very special flavor"
