is urgent. No wonder. then. We take
Off our hats to the new process which
enables Uncle Sam to rebuild gun
in precisely twenty-five days instead
OF requiring an interval Of seventy
five days, as 1t formerly did, to renew
the youth Of one Of our protectors.
II we may Judge from the tests
which have been made. modern high
powered guns using smokeless powder
the kind that Uncle Sam manufac-
lures and uses-have almost unlim-
tied life under normal conditions. That
is the gun itself does not wear out
but they erode in the bore very rap
idly owing to the high powder pres
sures which they must sustain and
the consequent high Temperatures to
which they are subjected. This is the
explanation of why 1t pays. so well
to prolong the life Of big gun by
refining the weapon or renewing the
bore. The process Of rejuvenating our
heavy ordnance has been tremendous
ly facilitated by the practice in re-
cent years Of building all such guns
with conical liners. susceptible Of easy
removal. This has done more than
anything else to cut down the time
required to give gun new insides.
The shrinking pot, that inferno of
the gun makers, Is used in refining
gun even as 1t is in shrinking on the
Jacket" of q new gun. 1t is just here,
indeed, that the conical Timer" proves
its superiority over the cylindrical
liner which has lately become obso-
lete. The cylindrical liner when 1t
was worn out had to be removed by
boring, q tedious process Of cutting
that involved great loss Of time and
labor. In the case Of gun with a
WORKOUT conical liner, however. the
process is speedy and simple. The gun
! is placed in the shrinking pit and
heated to a temperature Of about 500
degrees. Then cold water is poured
through the liner with the result that
/ it cools suddenly and contracts as 1t
cools in consequence Of which 1t drops
out. OF course, the gun must be heat
ed again to insert the new liner, but
when the new lining is in place the
mass of metal is allowed to take its
own time to cool, no water being
sprayed on. After the reconstructed
gun is thoroughly cooled 1t Is cham
bered, rified and finished.

there was wicked spirit who took

Men suffered long and their cries

pushed the spider into 1t. Being I'M
mortal, the wicked spirit could not
be wholly destroyed, so he shrivelled
and shrivelled until he became tiny
insect and in this shape escaped from

tormentlng people in the form OF

dropping into the wound an intinites-

According to Indian tradition they
all. at one time lived in beautiful
land where there was abundance OF
hunting. Then the flood came which
swept over the earth. After 1t had
subsidized the boats rested on the hunt
ing grounds-some where fish abound
ed, others where there were bears
or wolves, and from these fish and
animals they took their new crests.
They settled on the land where their
boats came to rest and formed q new
tribal relation.
Each tribe has It's particular cere-
monial oyer the dead. The Indians
of the far North wrap their dead
in canvas or other covering and raise
them on scaffold to protect them
from wild animals. Several tribes Of
Southeastern Alaska practice a crude
sort of cremation, and after buryins
the ashes leave the effects Of the de-

These graves are never robbed. When
q chief dies his body is laid out in
state with all his belongings spread
about him. He Is dressed in his royal
raiment and placed on bed Of state
with blankets draped around the
room. Food is provided for the
mourners who como in large num-
bers. His gun is always placed upon
his grave.

FINISHING The Gun A TicklIsh Task.

Finishing The Gun A Ticklish Task.
That Uncle Sam has been able this
past few years to speed up the man
ufacture OF monster guns is the more
remarkable when we stop to consider
that the task of finishing such a gun
Is almost as ticklish as the assembling
process already referred to. For one
thing. the assembled gun must be
put in lathe and the bore brought
down to diameter exact to the frac-
ton OF an inch. Chambering is an
other painstaking operation, and then
comes rifling which consists in cut
ting spiral grooves in the. surface Of
the bore right up to the muzzle in
order to give each projectile desired
twist as 1t leaves the gun. 2
Finish-turning gives the big gun
that neat, business-like appearance
that so impresses tho innocent by
stander when he sees one Of these
weapons mounted and ready for ac-
ton. BY means of tho huge lathes
