BIG GUNS OF A CENTURY AGO
fectlve Cannon Known to
the World.

II would scarcely appear feasible
that shot weighing 800 pounds could
have been employed century ago,
yet the Turks, who used the largest
cannon I'm Europe, actually used guns
Of such caliber at that time When
Sir ]. Duckworth passed the Darda-
nelles to attack Constantinople in 1907
his feet was dreadfully shattered by
the immense shot thrown from the
batteries. The Royal George, of Ito guns,
was nearly sunk by only one shot,
while another cut the mainmast of
the Windsor Castle almost in two; a
single shot knocked two ports of the
Thunderer into one; the Repulse GA

men killed and wounded by shot,
the ship being saved only by the most
wonderful exertions. The heaviest
shot which struck our ships was Of
granite. weighing 800 pounds, and was
20 inches In diameter. One such shot,
to the astonishment OF the tars, stove

BIG WILDERNESS OF CANADA
Nobody Thinks Of Going into Region
Northeast Of Lake St. John
Approach by Big Peribonka.

The region northeast Of Lake St
John is off at one side where nobody
thinks of going except few trappers.
The mining and timber have not
seemed rich enough to draw the white
man.
The main avenue Of approach is the
Big Per1bonka, the largest of the Lake
St. John rivers The real wilderness
begins in the neighborhood of Lake
Tchotogoma, so miles up the river.
Beyond that stretches a vast region,
as fresh and Wild as natural and
primitive as anything discovered by
Columbus and with fewer human ten
ants. In the last fifty miles Of it's
course the Big Peribonka comes down
from it's high plateau roaring through
defiles of ragged rock and making
necessary ten or more portages, sew
eral of them in the perpendicular
style of architecture. OF late years
q rude wagon road has been extended
through the burnt-over country be-
tween the village of Mistook, near
Lake St. John and the Shute Mcleod,
the last but one Of these Peribonka
falls The necessity of climbing up
a steep river has thus been largely
eliminated. Lake Tchotogoma may
be reached from the other direction
where the means of access have also
been improved; and one coming up
from Quebec by the Saguenay boat
should go In from that quarter and
come out by the new route down the
Peribonka.
The outfit is carried from Chi
countimi. at the head of steamboat
navigation, up to the foot of rough
water in the river, distance OF seven
miles. Then comes wagon journey
of % miles northerly to the Lac des
Iles.-Outing.

WHEN TO WEAN LITTLE PIGS
Many Of Best Hog Men Take All
Young Animals Away at Same
Time-Good Plan Outlined,

Should the pigs be weaned at six to
eight weeks Of age. or should they be
allowed to run with the sows until
the sows wean them?
Sows which raise two filters a year
had best wean their spring litter at
six to eight weeks of age. Some farm
ers who keep sows only for one litter
are in favor of early weaving so that
the sows may be-dried OF rapidly and
fattened.
II the pigs are to be weaned early,
they must be taught to eat grain long
before they are weaned Two or three
weeks old pigs will learn to nibble a
little. A good grain mixture Is so
parts Of corn, 20 parts of middlings,
10 parts Of tankage or wheat meal.
5 parts Of oats and s parts of oil
meal. If SKINNED milk may be had
1T should certainly be fed, especially
just after weaving time.
Many of our best hog men now wean
their pigs early and wean them all at
the same time. The day before wean-
ing they put the sows and pigs to-
gether In pen by themselves and give
the sows little or no food that day
The pigs are allowed to drain the
sows' udders and the next day the
pigs are put In good pasture by
themselves and given nutritious ra-
ton, skim milk being fed If 1t is
available The sows are put on short
pasture and for the first day or two
are given plenty to drink but little to
eat. In short time they are dried
up completely and they may be given
good ration to get them in condition
for breeding or for market.

New Armored Motor Car.

A novel type Of armored motor car
has been designed BY a resident of
Lowell. Mass. It contains some very
original ideas as to protection from
rife and gun fire. The car is shaped
exactly like a turtle. the upper and
lower shell being Joined at distance
of about sixteen inches above the
ground. The wheels are almost en-
tirely covered by the armor The lat
ter Is composed of steel shells, curved
to represent a turtle back, the in

for steering, emergency doors in the
rear and on both sides, a powerful
motor under the drivers seat, and q
quick-firing gun mounted on a re-
yolying base-these ere al parts Of

WHEN you HANG A HAMMOCK

A delicate point In the hanging Of q
hammock is the height. 1t must be
swung low enough that the children
can get into 1t without falling out
and breaking their worthless little
necks. It must not be so low that
father, who has to put two pennies
into the slot machine to get weighed,
will bump the ground In his swing.
To get the height right involves the

curve shall not become tangent. to the

For Il is embarrassing to find too late
that the hammock Is not fixed to car

Marvellous instrument.

A marvellous instrument, the COM
pound interferometer, has been in
vented by Prof. O. w. Chamberlain,
president and head Of the physics de-
partment of Denison university. With
this instrument It is possible to meas
ure a distance as small as 10000
000th Of an inch. This instrument will
in all probability be the most delicate
measuring instrument of its kind for
many years to come. II Is practically
impossible for the human mind to
realize the smallness Of the distance
measurable by the compound inter
ferometer, which Is 400. times as pow
erful IS the most perfect compound
microscope, but some idea can be
formed by the use Of comparisons
This 1-20, 1000, 00oth of an inch Is the
apparent size of the head of an ordi-
nary pin viewed at distance of 227
miles. or the size Of 30 cent piece
viewed at a distance of 5000 miles,
or the size Of a human face viewed at
o distance equal to twice the circum-
ference Of our mother earth.

MANAGEMENT OF THE BODY
Extreme Care Should Be Exercised
by Those Who Are Afflicted
With Defective Heart.

A person with q defective heart
must remain, in everything he does,
well within the limit of his strength.
Though able to walk fifteen blocks,
he should not walk more than twelve;
though able to work three hours, he
should work only two. and rest II
possible, every hour for few min
utes, to avoid fatigue. When able to
get along with seven hours rest and
sleep. he should rest and sleep at least
nine hours. His recuperative power Is
lowered and 1t takes, when overtired,
days and weeks to regain strength
which a healthy person RECEIVERS In
one night. He endangers his future
whenever he goes beyond his strength
even q little. or only to the point
where he begins to feel tired. He
may do as much as an average healthy
person. but he must divide the work
into periods of short duration. What
may happen in year or two must be
considered rather than whether, for
the present, the heart can stand the
effort. The best protection for the fu-
ture Is proper adjustment of effort
at all times to ones strength.-Ex-

CANDY TO RELIEVE FATIGUE
British Soldiers in France Devour
Sweets In Enormous Quantities
Substitute for Alcohol.

The value of candy is recognized
by military authorities. The British
soldiers in France are reported as
consuming "prodigious quantities of
sweets" A captain at the front with
the British army reports that the
canteen has five times the demand
for sweets that was expected, and one
fifth the demand for beer. The Aus
tralians encamped in Egypt have eat
en- all the chocolate to be had in
Cairo.
Scientists contend the sugar has
much food value and Is q good sub
stitute for alcohol. Chocolate. for ex-
ample, is harmlessly stimulating. Sol
diers have discovered what scientists
know before that sugar will relieve
fatigue quickly and give a sense Of
strength that is real without the sub
sequent depression experienced by
those who use spirits. Sugar and cam
dies are found to be useful not only
to the physically tired, but to those
who suffer mental exhaustion.

Movies In Spain.

A press dispatch announces the
first showing In Bilbao of moving pic
lures In their natural colors. 1t seems
pertinent to suggest to manufacturers
Of projecting apparatus and films in
the United States Of the probable OPP
portunity to introduce these goods
here. especially now, at the beginning
of summer, when the motion picture is
about the only amusement Of the peo-
pie. In all the principal plazas and
gardens of Seville, moving picture
screens are erected and small tables
and chairs set out, the exhibitors
either making their profits from the
drinks sold or by rental of chairs at
two cents each. Thousands of people
go nightly to the different plazas and
gardens, and the entire life of the
city for about four months centers
around these moving picture shows.
Anything In the nature of novelty is
sought, and the exhibition of pictures
in their natural colors would undoubt-
edly attract the crowd, and manufac-
,turers should, therefore, find ready
market It is probable that credit ar
