WHY STEEL SHELLS ARE USED
Cast Iron Could Not Be Depended On
to Do Accurate Work That
Is Demanded.

The great cost of the shells USED In
warfare has astounded most persons
who are unfamiliar with such mat
tiers, and in answer to a correspond
ent asking why cheaper shells made
of cast iron were not made use of in
preference to the more expensive steel,
the Engineer of London has the fol-
lowing: In the first place, where
shrapnel is concerned, the number Of
bullets is reduced because the walls
of the projectile must be made thick
er. There is not an objection in high
explosive shells, which call for walls
thicker than is necessary for strength,
but there is danger of cast iron shells
developing cracks during manufacture.
and there would be a risk of such
shells bursting in the gun. Another
objection Is that cast-iron shell Is
liable to be inaccurate In its fight.
The projectile must be in perfect bal
ance with the walls, not only of the
same thickness all around, but homo
geneous. At the high speed of revo-
luton, the slight difference in weight
on one side would cause irregular
shooting. The steel shell is machined
inside and out, to insure uniformity;
but if shell were cast on core and
the core were not absolutely concen-
trio. the center Of gravity would not
lie exactly in the longitudinal axis Of
the shell. Furthermore, the making
of a steel shell has been so perfected
that such shells can be turned out
more quickly than those of cast iron
of equal reliability in accuracy. An
1S-pounder shell can be completely
machined from the bar in 40 minutes

Our Schooling inexpensive.

twenty-five million persons were en-.
rolled in educational institutions in
the United States last year. And they
required 100000 teachers, of whom
$4,000 were in public schools, to
guide them in the paths of learning.
About s34 apiece was what it cost
a give them a year of schooling. Com
pared with some of our other expenses
as a-nation, public schools seem. to be

les we spend a third of what the
schools require.
Measured in terms of products OF
the soil, the United States spent a
little more for education than the
value Of its wheat crop, and less than
half the value of the annual harvest
OF corn. What the ultimate value
OF the educational harvest will be is

Coin Shower Deluaes Workmen.

Workmen employed on the ditch OF
the Rogue River Canal company set
of a charge of dynamite under a
stump and then the air was filed with
dollars and half dollars. The blast
uncovered a money cache that had
apparently been buried there since the
early sixties. Most of the coins were
OF the mintage of the fifties, and when
the fall Of coin began there was wild
scramble for it. The cache contained
about $500, according to some; others
placed the amount as high as $500.
Some Spanish coins were found
among the United States coins. How
the money came to be beneath the
stur1p, or why or when is a mystery.

HARD CASH FROM JUNK PILE
Great Manufacturing Concern Turns
Ito Waste Material Into Various
Valuable Commodities.

II the pork packers use all of the
pig but the squeal, the great manu-
featuring industries are not far behind
in utilizing every ounce of matter
that comes into their hands. The
works at Hawthorne, ILL.,, of the West
ern Electric company. for instance,
dispose of junk or waste material
every month as follows: Brass, 100
tons; copper, $50 tons; German silver.
17h tons; iron and steel, SO tons;
solder skimmings, tons; lead, 1873
tons; paper, Z tons.
Scraps of different metal are kept
separate and are baled by hydraulic
presses. Chips and sweepings are
passed through separators and mag
netic separators. These are melted
down or sold to refiners. Scraps of
celluloid are turned into enamel for
insulating iron wire cores. Sawdust
and chips of wood are sifted according
to size. The former finds its way to
the plating and drying rooms, the lat
ter to the furnaces, where it produces
steam equivalent to the product OF
$500 tons of coal a year and wood
ash that is sold for an average Of
$6,140 year.
Waste paper and cotton waste is
made into scratch pads or used in the
packing department Lead from
iunked cable is melted of, refined and
used again or sold as pig lead. Cop
per wire is baled under pressure for
future use. Rubber is ground and
used in the manufacture Of cast rub
Der parts.
AS the company buys raw material
amounting to the average Of $780,
900 month, the retaining of junk is
a most important item of expense
saving. And this is true of every
large factory.
