The Life OF The GUNS.

rhe life of a gun depends upon the
progress OF erosion, which sooner or
later is certain TO impair the accuracy OF
fire. Erosion is caused by the action OF
the explosive gases at high temperature
and pressure. According TO the Iron Age,
the hot gases cause thin film Of steel
to absorb heat. The film expands and
becomes set. Upon the release Of the
pressure, II contracts, which causes
minute cracks that grow larger with
every discharge. As they increase in
size they form passageways for more
hot gas, and that tends 10 enlarge them
still further. The inner surface thus
becomes roughened, and the bands begin
to conode. Finally, the bore becomes
so enlarged that If allows the gases to
escape. The shell does not then acquire
its proper rotation, and its flight becomes
enatic. All guns except small ones are
now constructed with Innings in the tube,
which, when the bore is worn out, are
removed and replaced by new ones.
the cost of refining gun is approximately
30 per cent of the cost ofthe gun. There
appears TO be no limit to the number Of
OF times that gun can be refined. The
small arms used in this country are con-
sldered TO be worn out after ), ,000to 7 500
rounds have been fired Small naval
guns Can be fired about | 900 times before
they are regarded as worn out. Large
twelve-inch and fourteen naval guns are
considered to have life, on one lining,
Of from 80 to 200 rounds. Low-velocity
guns, such as howiizers and mortars,
have corfespondingIy longer lives than
high-yelocity guns OF the same caliber,
because The pressures they develop. and
fence The temperatures, are lower.

Winter Grow Roosts.

The latest Yearbook of the Depart
ment of Agriculture gives an account OF
one of the most interesting bird phenomena
that still persist in the thickiy settle d
Eastern and Central States-the 'roosts"
where crows gather every night in cold
weather. Although, even in the nesting
season, crows are more or less gregarious,
their habit of flocking is most conspicu-
ousIy displayed during the winter. In
September they begin to migrate toward
a comparatively small area of the country
the territory from Connecticut south to
Virginia and westward beyond the Mis-
sissippi River. Their rooSts are usually
strands OF pine or other evergreens, al
though sometimes they pass the night in
groves of deciduous trees. Roosts are
often established in the near neighbour
hood Of large cities; one at Arlington,
Virginia, just across the Potomac River
from Washington, is supposed to have
contained at times as many as two hun
dred thousand birds. Several othei
equally populous rooStS have beer
observed in New Jersey and Pennsylvania
Fortunately, the crows do not feed TO-
gether, but as rule dsperSe by day ane
forage over wide area, so that the zoos
is not so serious menace to crops in thi!
icinity as might be supposed.

VIII Vote On Bonds.

In addition to voting for the numerou:
candidates on the four tickets that will bt
on the official ballot 10 be used on No
vember 7th, and expressing their senti-
ments on two amendments TO The State
Constitution, relating to Equal Suffrage
and the County Court, voters in Jefferson
county will be called upon TO pass iudg-
ment upon bond issue. The question
is whether or not portion OF the old
Norfolk & Western Railroad bond debt,
which has been bearing interest at the
rate of four per cent, shall be reissued to
yield interest at the rate OF live per cent
The county'S bonded debt dates back
to 1872, when a small portion OF our
people voted debt of $250,000 on the
county for the purpose of aiding the con-
struction OF the Shenandoah Valley, now
the Norfolk 6 Western Railroad, through
the county. The debt was evidenced
by bonds of the face value OF 500 each,
bearing interest at 6 per cent. Ills stated
that small portion OF the people voted
for the bond issue, for those persons who
had sympathized with the Confederacy in
the Civil War were disfranchiSed, only
the loyal Union voters being allowed to
pass on the question. Not over one
tenth Of the men of voting age had any
voice in the matter.
The bonds were to mature in "a years
from the time they were issued, but the
county could retire them atany time after
fen years. For some reason not all the
bonds issued were sold. To be exact,
1921, 400 were ever disposed OF. Since
then sos, 700 have been paid off and can
celed.
In 1887 the original issue OF bonds were
refunded 10 bear five per cent interest
instead OF six. Ten years later $50, 900
of these were refunded at four per cent
on condition that they were 10 be exempt
from taxation. Meanwhile the Supreme
Court OF the State has held that no prop
ery of any kind, except that of church
and charitable institutions, shall be free
from taxation. The holders OF the bonds
who bought them on the faith that they
would not be taxed have been injured to
the extent of the tax rate. The county
now wants 10 repair this injustice by re-
issuing. or refundiug, the $50, 900 OF bonds
so that they will yield five per cent in
terest. II is left with the voters to settle
the question of simple justice between
the bondhoIders and the taxpayers.

Bible Manuscripts.

The oldest Bible manuscripts now il
existence date from about 300 10 45O A
ID. and show US the Bible as il existed
soon after apostolic days. All tht
earlier manuscripts were either lost Oh
destroyed in the terrible prosecutions
which were directed not only against the
Christians, but against their treasured
sacred writings, their enemies thus hoping
TO stamp out even the slightest traces oil
Christianity. The three Oldest manu-
scripts now in existence are known as
the Sinaitic, the Alexandrian and the
Vatican manuscripts.
The Sinaitic was found by the eminent
Bible scholar Tischendorf in convent on
on Mount Sinai in 1914. II contained
the Septuagint, other parts OF the Old
Testament, the New Testament complete
and some OF the apocrYphal books. The
writing, after lapse OF more than 500
years, is still clear and legible.
The Aexandrian manuscript, which
came TO light in 1923, is not quite so an
cient as the Sinaitic. II has the Old
Testament complete, except that ten
leaves are missing, and the New Testa-
ment lacks nearly thirty leaves. II is in
the British museum.
The Vatican manuscript. the most an
cient OF all, is a great treasure, consist
ing Of about 100 leaves OF velIum bound
in book form. Part OF Genesis is missing
and also number OF the Psalms. The
New Testament is complete up TO He
brews, ninth chapter.
Other early Bible manuscripts OF great
value, but inferior to the three mentioned,
are the Codex Ephraem and the Codex
Begae, besides which there IS long
list OF later manuscripts.
