for throwing away his rifle or sword

officer in order to plumber. If he forces
his way past sentry on active serv-
ice he may be sentenced to death or
for assaulting any one bringing up pro-

he break into any house in search of
plumber or discharge his rifle intention

SINGLE BOARD PLAN
A SUCCESS IN IOWA
System Is Endorsed by Leaders
in HeIghb0rs SIdte.

MADISON, WIS. = An investi-
cation conducted under the direction
of Governor Philip has shown that
the central board of education plan
has proven a success in Iowa and re-
ceives the warm Endorsement OF edu-
cational leaders and legislators.
AS the result of charges made by
opponents of the Wisconsin admin
istration central board bill that the
plan had proven a dismal failure in
Iowa, Governor PEGlipp determined to
secure first hand information on the
matter, and secured L. P. Benezet, SUI
perintendent of the La Crosse, Wis,
schools to make an investigation The
results of the Investigation have been
put into pamphlet form and mailed to
the board Of university and normal
school regents
Among those interviewed were Gov.
ernor Clarke, President Seerley and
Professor Cory of the Iowa Teachers
college,; Dean Wilcox, Professor
Shambaugh and Professor Pelzer OF
the University of Iowa; former Gov
ernor Carroll, Superintendent Thorn
hurgh of the Des Moines city schools;
several central board members and
former members of the separate
boards
The consensus of opinion was that,
as the result of the central board, in
stitutional lobbying has virtually dis
appeared routine management has
been much improved, entering wedges
for inadequately considered projects
have disappeared and many savings
in the form of reductions were shown.

Agate and Onyx.

onyx is not apparent to every one, as
is indicated by the samples of the two
minerals received by the United States
geological survey with requests for in
formation. Onyx marble, Or Mexican
onyx, is composed of calcium carbon
ate or banded limestone. True agate
is a variety OF silica. Onyx marble is
much softer than agate and is rarely
used for gems, but when onyx is OBJ

cut and polished for small ornamental
objects like inkstands and paper
weights, as we'll as for table tops and

do as he was told. but a few days
later he returned and complained
that he felt much worse.

RANGE OF MODERN GUNS
America Has a Cannon that Will Shoot
Thirty One Miles.

The shots fired into Dunkirk on
Thursday from a large weapon, or
weapons, from behind the German
lines near Nieuport. at a range of
about twenty-five miles, are said by
American army experts to be the
greatest long-range firing known in
actual warfare.
Several instances are recorded OF
long-range firing with powerful artil-
lery in times or peace. In England,
during Queen Victoria's jubilee cele-
bration, according to statements made
by an ordnance expert, a shot from
about twenty-one miles. Several in
stances Of long range gunnery have
been recorded on German proving
grounds. But never before in war
have missiles been hurled so far as in
the attack on Dunkirk.
There has been much talk about
huge new German guns, such as So
centimeter G9.6-inch) and 55 cent?
meter (21.6-inch) guns Of howitzer
type, calculated to shoot twenty five
miles, but ordnance experts say that
weapons of such a caliber and type
would not be used in twenty-five
mile firing. These men insist today
that the weapons used in the attack
on Dunkirk were Of no greater caliber
than twelve inches. The latest Ger
man guns Of this caliber could easily
cover the distance from the German
line to Dunkirk if fired at an angle of
forty-flve degrees.
The United States has coast defense
guns which could exceed the range at
which the German guns are supposed
to have been fired. The guns are the
latest American model, and they could
duplicate the German feat, If mounted
on carriages so constructed as to en-
able the weapons to fire at an angle
Of forty-five degrees.
Elaborate computations Of what
might be accomplished by firing
American weapons at an angle Of As
degrees have been worked out by eX-
perts for guns Of varying caliber. both
coast defense. guns and mortars The
most powerful of these in long range
firing is a twelve-inch gun. When
fired at an angle of As degrees, this
gun has a range Of $4,000 yards, or
81 miles. The highest point of the
trajectory or line Of flight Of the pro-
jectile would be $1,000 yards, or nearly
12 miles.
This highest point Of flight would
be above a point of 30-55th of the dis
tance from the gun to the target.
Stated differently, the highest point Of
flight would be $1,000 yards in the
air directly over a point 10000 yards
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1915-05-07

from the gun and $4,000 yards from
the target.
1t Is calculated by experts that the
highest point reached by the shells
fired from the German lines, twenty
two miles into Dunkirk, was about
seven miles. They estimate that the
time of flight from the German guns
was about 107 seconds. This is about
the fastest time made by body pro-
jected through space by a man-made
machine. The German projectiles
fired into Dunkirk, must have aver
aged about 3.45 miles a second
If 12-inch weapons were used, and
the weight Of the projectile was about
1000 pounds, it probably cost the Ger
mans about $1,000 for each shot fired
exclusive Of the cost Of operation and
Of transporting the guns to the front.
A weapon which would fire shots
twenty-one miles into Dunkirk would
closely approximate a 12-inch gun,
now in use in American coast defenses.
This, If fired at an angle Of As de-
grees, would have a range Of 41,000
yards, or over 23 miles. The highest
point Of the trajectory of this weapon
would be 13,500 yards, or about Z 1-2
miles, and the missile would reach its
target in about 1O7 seconds.
But this gun would fail by eight
miles to equal the range of the other
American 12-inch coast defense naval
weapons mentioned above, though 1t
is also Of 12-inch caliber, and fired
at an angle Of As degrees. The differ
ence in the ranges (41,OOO yards and
$4,000 yards) is caused by the different
ons, the different initial velocities,
weight Of shell, and loading charges.
Plotted on a diagram arranged in
blocks, 5000 yards to the inch, the
lines, representing the trajectories of
these American 12-inch coast defense
weapons, the one Of $4,000 yards
range, the other Of 41,O00 yards range,
and both fired at the high angle Of As
degrees appear colossal when compar-
ed with the trajectory of the best
American mortar fired at the same
angle.
The range Of this mortar gun, when
fired at As degrees, would be $4,000
yards, or nearly II miles, and the
highest point Of its trajectory would
be $500 yards, or about three miles.
The trajectory Of the 12-inch coast de-
fense, having a range Of $500 yards,
Is four times higher, and the range
is almost three times greater than
tnat Of the mortar gun fired at the
same angle.
Such long-range firing as was ac-
complished in the atatck on Dunkirk,
could not be done by weapons like
the German 42-centimeter gun, which
is primarily a howitzer and has a
short muzzle. This long-range firing
could only be accomplished by high
powered naval or coast defense guns,
built primarily for direct firing and
for penetration through hardened
steel armor at long ranges.
The German 42-centimeter guns
have a range Of about $4,000, or 2O,-
900 yards. The trajectory Of missiles
fired from them more nearly resembles
that of mortar Washington
