THE TEST.

One evening when he had nothing
worse to do an Eminently Practical
man invited an Eminent Thinker to
dine with him at one of those high
class restaurants where the bill Of
fare is printed in elegant French and
the bills paid in profane English. And,
because he had the price, he ordered
a dinner that embraced indigestion In
all its subtlest forms. t
When they had lighted their cigars
the Eminent Thinker began to talk.

Wis seldom read anything more pro

prize-fght, he was feeling well-fed

great erudition and much discernment

interpreters Of the great bard were

have written each play and what his
real conception OF each character
must have been. With his intellec-
tual pump finally began TO suck the
air and he had to stop for fresh
printing the Eminently Practical man
took a fresh grip on his cigar and
asked: A.
Would 1t be worth while to write
plays like Shakespere wrote?"
"Mehercule!" exclaimed the Emf
rent Thinker. ITO write plays like
SHAKESPEARE would not only make
man immortal but would also make
him rich"
"Then why don't you write some il
you know just how it was done"

and look red about the wattles before
proceeding to annihilate his friend.
After having looked sufficiently inn
pressiye for some time he resumed:
Now, IL | knew how Shakespeare
wrote his plays wouldn't 90 around
spouting about 1t but would give the
scheme try and perhaps go Shake

OF course this was terribly ignorant
stuff for the Eminently Practical man
to talk and the Eminent Thinker
thought it as well to make no reply.
He noted the fact, however, that there
seemed to be pseudo truth in what
the Eminently Practical man had said

IN OUR WEEKLY LETTER FROM WASHINGTON DC.

$780, 900
The Bureau of Labor Statistics has
just made public figures showing that
food products during 1914 were higher
than ever before. The average cost
of feeding a workingman's family
during the year 1914 was $6.68 higher
than in 1913, and S6O.93 higher than
it was in 1907.
The recent decision in favor of the
United States Steel Corporation is
hailed with enthusiasm by big bust
ness throughout the country and is
looked upon as the beginning of the
end of the raid upon all large bust
ness. The case will, naturally, be
taken to the United States Supreme
Court by the government but it is
considered more than likely that the
decision will be substantially upheld
by that court.

AMERICANS ARE WEALTHY

The people of the United States
men, women and children-are worth
1866 apiece. That is the latest word
on the subject given out by the fed
eral government; its figures, forming
the basis for the calculation, were
gathered from every available official
source.
Thus the citizen of the United Stat
es is just about six times richer to-
day, in national wealth, than he was
year old. At that time, in the early
when Chief Justice Brantly was a
%tifties, the per capita wealth of the
United States was $3O8. Of course,
since then we have increased in popu-
lation and otherwise, so that the ag-
gregate wealth of the nation is, in
fact, twenty-five times greater than
it was s~ixty-odd years ago. In the
grand total, about 60 per cent is in
fact, twenty-five times greater than it
was sixty-odd years ago. In the
grand total, about 60 per cent is in
real estate, but the figures exclude all
national state, county municipal and
other real estate not subject to taxa
ton.
Actually, this distribution is not
even, taking the country at large.
New York is much the richest state,
with Illinois second and P~ennsylvan-
ia a close third. But the per-capita
distribution by states makes the citi-
zen of Nevada worth $4,865. Next in
order com Iowa, North Dakota, Cali
fornia, Nebraska and Montana. For
u state the average per capita is
S2,743. Of course, n trouble with
this comparative showing is that the
states do not follow the same rule in
valuations. Some of them assess al
the full value; others at two-thirds
or fifty per cent-in eleven states the
ratio is about one-third.
In wealth we lead the world. Great
Britain, all told, is about 60 per CEN
as rich, as we are. Our total is $187,
739, 900, 900. The most recent figure!

HOW BIG GUNS ARE MADE

open hearth furnace from which in

Then ome the forging of the in
got. For small guns the ingot is
forged solid, but for six-inch and larg-
er the ingot is forged hollow. The
steam hammers which do the work
can give blows equal to 70 0tons.
Tests begin. Small pieces of the
steel are cut off, hardened in oil and
pulled asunder in the jaws of a n.y.
draulic press. The strain runs up to
46 IONS per square inch.
If the tests are satisfactory the in

Size.
Then the barrels are hardened by
being heated in oil at a temperature of
1900 degrees Fahrneheit. For this
purpose rapeseed oil is used. The
cooling must be very slow, and this is
managed by burying the barrels in
sand.
Then m the final boring, which
leaves the barrels smooth inside and
out, and next a fresh heating and
cooling. This is called "appealing,"
and is most necessary to preserve the
toughness of the steel.
Now the heart of the gun is ready
and it goes elsewhere to be built up
to the required strength by adding
successive layers of steel hoops. These
are put on hot and when the cool

Our big naval guns are all "wire-
wound" The barrel revolves on a
lathe while steel tape a quarter inch
wide and one-eighth thick is wound or
