STEEL FOR ARTILLERY.
Tremendous Pressure the Barrels Of
Bio Guns Must Bear.

Tremendous Pressure the Barrels Of
Big Guns Must Bear.
Modern high powered guns could not
be built without steel strong enough to
resist the enormous pressures to which
they are subjected. Few understand
how great these pressures are-almost
as far beyond ordinary comprehension
as are the distances Of the stars or the
number of atoms in glass of water.
An attempt to state the matter In a
form that will mean something to the
ordinary mind is made by contribu-
tor to La Nature in an article entitled
"The Strains Resisted by Gun Metal"
He writes:
when the marvels of modern artil-
lery are described perhaps we direct
our admiration too exclusively to the
mechanicians who have combined to
construct It. We must not. however.
forget the retallurgist. for 1t Is owing
to the astonishing qualities Of the metal
that the gun is SO well able to resist
the enormous strain due to the detona-
ton Of the explosive
1T is interesting to cite here some
figures published by Commandant Reg
nault At each discharge Of gun. In
the case of cur field pieces. in less than
three-tenths Of second the pressure
exceeds twenty tons to the square inch.
and the sped of the projectile leaving
the muzzle Is more than $500 feet a
second.
'The energy developed may be put
at about 10000 foot pounds. In 9TH
er words. considering the cannon az a
motor working during an exceedingly
short time. we may place its rating at
about 20,OOOOOO horsepower.
mot only must the metal be made to
resist these strains time after time, but
to do so under unfavorable conditions.
such as the high temperatures produc-
ed by the explosives. And not only
must the metal of the gun be as strong
az this. but it Is the same with that of
the shell. The shell of our seventy
Ave supports a pressure estimated at
seventeen tons The work of the de-
vice that takes up the recoil reaches
about twelve tons to the square inoh.
and the mount neutralizessat eacn dis
charge about two tons.
in fact, these conditions are realiz-
ed in quite a remarkable way. 1t has
been possible to test In the machine
shop the pieces Of battery that has
fred several thousand shots and to
show that they have suffered not the
slightest reformation.
This is why it h necessary to en-
ploy special steels. The use of nickel,
In proportion of ! per cent to per
cent. gives to steel special qualities"

BELIEyEs HE saw A WOLF.

County Commissioner W. H. Sherman,
of Bar Harbor, is thorough convert to
the belief, held by few Maine men, that
wolves still occasionally stray into Maine
from the Canadian woods. Mr.. Sherman is
no tyro in the woods; he knows q fox, bob
cat, or lynx when he sees one, and is not
to be argued out of his statement that the
animal he saw recently while hunting in
the woods near Beddington was not one
OF these.
The animal was almost twice as tall as
fox, and it had long tail, not as bushy
as that of fox. 1t was a tawny brown in
color, lean in the hind quarters and
thicker at the shoulders, and the hair on
back and shoulders bristled up instead Of
lying smooth or parted like that of q fox.
Mr.. Sherman came up behind the
animal while alone. The animal was in
tent upon q house which could be seen
on side hill quarter Of a mile away.
Its head was in the air as it shifted toward
the house.
Mr.. Sherman approached within ten or
fifteen feet OF the animal. His first inn
preston was that it was "a shepherd dog,
and for that reason he did not shoot,
while he looked the animal over for full
minute, he thinks. Once he took careful
aim, but then lowered his gun, thinking
still it might be dog.
Then he spoke as to a dog: "Hello, sir"
In a fash the animal was of in the woods,
and theiStste puseum at Augusta was
deprived of a rare specimen a wolf
killed in Maine in 1915.

This is bumper year for crops, ac-
cording to the statistics issued Mon
day by the United States department
of agriculture. The nations princi-
pal crops exceed in value those of
1914, the previous banner year, by
half billion dollars. While several
crops do not equal in production the
record of previous years, this is more
than Offset by the high prices due to
the influence of the European war.
Many of the crops. however, estab-
lished new high records in produc-
ton as well as in money value.

Mr.. Bryan has come out squarely
against President Wilson's national
defense plan, which he characterizes
as "a departure from our traditions;
q menace to our peace and safety,
and q challenge to the spirit Of Chris
tianity which teaches us to influence
others by example rather than by ex-
citing fear''. This is the entering OF
the wedge which is likely to rip the
democratic party wide open in the
next campaign.

County Sunday School Association.
An effort is being made by the Hancock
County Sunday school association to
make Hancock county the FIRST in Maine
to reach the front-line standard. The
.sflying squadron" OF the association was
active last week in the western part Of the
county. A team consisting of the county
president, Rev. o. J. Guptill, OF Deer Isle;
Rev. D. w. Kimball, Of Sedgwick, and
Wesley j. Weir, the state secretary, held
meetings at Bucksport, North Brooksville,
Sedgwick and Stonington, and Mr.. Weir
spent Sunday with the churches OF Blue
hill.
The meetings, except when local condi-
tions interfered, were successful to the
highest degree, and encourage the ex-
pectation that tine association will achieve
its purpose.
In two years this association has made
more rapid strides than any other in the
State, and, according to opportunity,
presses the leaders now. There are ninety
three schools and over 5000 scholars en-
rolled, according to reports available, but
it is thought that not all have been found,
and final effort is being made to touch
each school.
1t is desired that as many schools as
possible prepare exhibits for the next
county convention, the best to be sent to
the exhibit at the State convention. Each
school has from now until next September
in which toget its exhibit ready. Par
ticulars regarding the nature OF the ex-
hibits may be obtained from Rev. Orville
J. Guptill, Deer Isle.
