AS William James points out in his
little book, it is getting away from
ourselves that is our big task in liv-
ing, getting away from our own self
ish and biased point of view, and
reaching out to the other fellow and
sympathizing with the forces that give
him a vitality that is our vitality.
The spectators judgment is sure to
miss the root of the matter, and to
possess no truth. The subject judged
knows part of the world of reality
which the judging spectator fails to
see, knows more while the spectator
knows less; and, wherever there is
conflict of opinion and difference Of
vision, we are bound to believe that
the truer side is the side that feels
the more, and not the side that feels
the less

Nourish Your Nerves.

People of nervous disposition need
a nourishing, nerve building diet.
Eggs served in various ways, milk, ce-
reals, ETC., should be a standard part
of the diet. Be careful of lavish use
of tomatoes or red beets. Supply your
table with quantities of fruit and fresh
vegetables and serve bran bread or
biscuit frequently. Should you have
a tendency to obesity be careful to
avoid an excess of starch and sweets.
Consult your physician about any es-
pecial tendency that you know your
family or any member of it to possess
and, guided by his advice, eliminate
such foods as might be harmful. In
families where there is no special in
disposition or hereditary tendency to
be considered let common sense guide
you, read up on dietetics and keep
your table free from unhealthful COM
binations and indigestible foods. You
will find this study an interesting one,
but beware of fads. A diet must be
varied to be wholesome, and it is bet
ter to use spices and condiments in
moderation than to let your table lack
flavor from overzea1 in leaving out
everything that is not prominently
wholesome.

sELFIsHNEss TO BE CHECKED
wise Mother Will Not Allow the
Smaller Children to Impose Upon
the Older Ones.

The small boyis loud in his protes-
tations as he and his little chums play
together, all of whom are older than
he. The boy realizes that the other
children are prepared to take advan-
tage of him and the instructive habit
of self-protectiOn, common to all ami
mails, makes him resent the attempt.
In his efforts to maintain his own
rights he is very likely to become in
sistent and dictatorial and he will not
hesitate to take advantage of the fact
that he is younger than the others,
and so under the protection OF his cid.
ers, who he feels certain will be on
his side in the discussion.
A child is never too young to be
taught that he must not be selfish
and must ask no more than his rights.
This habit OF lording it over all his
companions may increase as he grows
older unless a wise mother can rea-
son him out of it.
In a family composed for the most,
part of boys the girls often make life
miserable for them by selfishly appro-
priating the chief pleasures for them
selves. Many men who have poor
opinion of women gained this opinion
as children in their own homes, where
selfish girls were allowed to insist
that boys should chivalrously defer
to them in everything.
Boys and girls in family should
be brought up in the same way, and
what is right for one should be con-
sidered right for the other.
"Oh, but you will be man and give
up to your little sister," the mother
says, and the selfish girl is allowed to
impose on the boy in this way.
Little disputes in regard to family
rights should be decided on their
merits and not with regard to sex.
Boys should be taught to protect their
sisters, but should not be allowed to
cater to their wishes when these are
inspired by pure selfishness.

coast artillery problem the distant ship of the
foe is at the remote tip of the imaginary triangle
and the known base is the span between two OBJ
serving rangednding stations This interval
may be mile and, within some limits
the longer the better for accuracy.
Many have seen from afar at our coast defense
stations what seemed to be big bird boxes
mounted upon towering tubular supports or web
work of steel. There always two of them.
and officially they are known the primary and
secondary range stations In each of them, in
time of service, there are at least two men. One
turns by means of delicately graduated
mechanism a powerful telescope from right to
left, and his function is to keep the moving tar
get continually at the point of intersection OF
two cross hairs in the field of his instrument
His companion reads off at prescribed intervals
the angle made by the telescope with the per-
manent base and the faraway foe.
The same thing is being done at the other
range station at the opposite end Of the base.
time bell rings at each of these stations every
20 seconds, and at the third stroke the man read
ing the angular scale telephones that measure
ment to the plotting located where the
enemy cannot it and itself in telephone
communication with each gun or mortar division.
In the plotting room a group of men make use
Of the information coming to them internationally
from the range-fnding towers and by graphic
process determine with great nicely the distance
off of the steaming foe The plotting table or
board where the information from the observers
is applied is big semicircular affair-the curved
edge being graduated to fractions of a degree,
while the straight edge diameter represents
on definite scale the length of the base line
between the two spotter towers At each end
of this base line is pivoted ruler One is called
the primary and the other the secondary-corre-
spending to the range-fnding station with which
its operator is in touch by telephone. Here is
what follows:
The soldiers at the primary and secondary
pivoted rulers or bring the free ends to-
ward one another in accordance with the sepa
rate angles telephoned to them. third man
operates another ruler called the gun arm, which
measures the distance range of the axis Of

Again, 20 seconds later, another dot is made
where the shifting straight edges meet, and this
is numbered 2. Similarly positions are thus re-

1891 enlisted men. This is a shortage of sol
diers of 1,420 agreeably to the force authorized
by law, and this is ntimaton of the extreme
ly heavy work that the men would have to face
in case of hostilities, because we are minus
vitality necessary reserve
The average layman has but the slightest
knowledge of the extremely technical character
of the Coast Artillery corps, and to be proficient
these soldiers receive many-sded education
Theirs is the task of getting the advantage of the
enemy before the foe can locate the position of
our guns and mortars, and the whole system of
defense is the exact opposite of the way in
which hostile squadron would approach it's ag-
gressive task.
From the very beginning of the planning of our
existing seaboard batteries the idea of conceal
ment was the first concern. The mortars
designed to be hidden away in pits-each OF
them holding four of these weapons. The heavy
rifles not to be in plain sight, with their
threatening muzZles peering over the crests of
parapets Instead the disappearing carriage was
invented for mount. These gave the rifles the
power to crouch while loading awaiting
ice, and then. when the moment for action ar
rived, to spring up suddenly from behind their
embrasures to fire directly at the foe and by
the force of their own recoil to sink from view
and into position for reloading.
How is it possible for weapons of this sort to
be aimed at their targets? 1t is commonly known
that in naval service the guns held upon
their quarry by means of electrically operated
mechanisms that swing and elevate the rifles
so that the cross hairs of the telescope sights
can be kept right on moving target even though
the sea be rough and the vessel roll, The gun
pointers are undisturbed by this motion, and at
10000 yards and more are able to do some won
derfu shooting. But the gun pointers and train
ers in the mortar pits and the emplacements OF
the big rifles do not, themselves, the enemy
Yet despite this seeming handicap still they are
able to do some extraordinarily effective work.
The army gun pointers near New York, with
l0inch disappearing rifles have been able to fire
four shots in a total elapsed time of less than
one minute, and these concentrated upon
target four miles away being towed at the rate
of something over five miles hour All four
shots struck the target and actually passed
through rectangle "a feet high by So feet long
At 1900 yards the same caliber guns at Fortress
Monroe scored six hits out of six shots at NOV
ing target. The total elapsed time of the firing
slightly over two minutes, the batteries scor
ing Ia hits per gun per minute
The science of surveying has made these
achievements possible even though, as has been
said the guns and mortars must be trained and
elevated by who cannot their targets
