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

The great cost of the shells used in
warfare has astounded most persons
who are unfamiliar with such mat
ters, 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 risk of such
shells bursting in the gun. Another
objection is that cast-iron shell is
liable to be inaccurate in its flight.
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 II shell were cast on a 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 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
18-pounder shell can be completely
machined from the bar in 40 minutes

MAKE KITCHEN BRIGHT
EASILY DONE BY EXERCISE OF A
LITTLE THOUGHT.
Many Reasons Why Room Should Be
the cleanest, sunniest and Most
Cheerful in the House-Color
Scheme Means Much.

One wonders at the housekeepers
who choose for their kitchen walls
and woodwork dingy gray or brown
or some other dark, dull color that
will not show the dirt. Are they bet
ter housekeepers because the dirt,
which is surely there, does not show?
Would these same women wear black
dresses and aprons when doing the
cooking and feel that they were clean
because they did not look soiled?
The kitchen should be the cleanest,
sunniest, and most cheerful room in
the house. 1t is here the housekeeper
spends most of her time, and it is
here the food is prepared and often
served.
1t is not always possible to have
the kitchen located so as to get the
best light, but dark room may be
much improved by using the proper
color. In Minnesota town the
school kitchen had windows on the
east side only. Half of them were on
a court and the others against hill; !;
but by the use of deep cream tint
on the ceiling, buff for the walls,
and woodwork of southern pine fin
ished in the natural color and
vanished, the effect of sunlight was
given even on the dull, short days
of the northern winter.
II there is much. sunshine in the
kitchen white or blue may be used !;
but on the north side of the house use
buff or warm. yellowish tan. The
increased cheerfulness and better
spirits of the housekeeper will mean
much to the entire family, and her
work will not be increased by the new
color scheme because sunny, pleas

HOW HIGH EXPLOSIVES KILL
Soldiers In Trenches Slain Because Of
the Disturbance Shells Cause In
the Atmosphere.

In recent address to the Society
of Civil engineers OF France, M. R. Ar
noux explained why soldiers are killed
sive shells. A pocket aneroid barome-
ter that had been made unserviceable
by being too near German shell
when it exploded showed that, at a
distance of less than three meters, the
explosion had caused in the room
where the instrument was placed a
sudden barometric depression of at
least $50 millimeters Of mercury. Now,
such depression corresponds to a
driving velociay in the air of 276 me-
ters a second, and to a dynamic pres
sure of 10,36O Kilograms a square
meter. That sudden static depres-
sion of the surrounding atmosphere
kills the men in the trenches, al
though 1t leaves them apparently un-
injured. When the pressure of the
air decreases too suddenly, the air
and carbonic acid that the blood holds
in solution are disintegrated in the
form of minute gaseous bubbles, and
are driven by the heart into the small
arteries. If their diameter is greater
than that of the small arteries, they
act, of course, as SO many gaseous
plugs, which instantaneously stop the
circulation of the blood; and death
occurs before the return of the at
mospheric pressure to normal enables
the blood to absorb them again. High
explosive shells kill through smaller
radius than shrapnel, but they are
more deadly, for within their radius Of
action no living being can escape

CRINOLINE COMING IN
TO BE A FEATURE OF NEXT SEA.
SONS STYLES.
Partisan Modistes Introduced It With
the Employment of Reeds-ActuaI
Hoop Skirt May Be Matter
Of Immediate Future.

Last winter the designers began to
put crinoline in the drapery that GOV.
cred the hips, and here and there one
saw the use of a skillfully placed
featherbone. One thought of it as
a caprice, but the watchers on the
tower knew its full significance and
realized that it was the harbinger of
new style.
This summer, in the styles launched
for the winter, the Paris designers
did not hesitate to display a fond
ness for reeds, and we soon knew
that they would be feature of this
seasons styles. They are. Not only
do they appear on evening gowns,
but they are used to lift heavy mate
rial away from the hips in a gown
that is intended for day use.
Genuine reeds are employed. They
are exceedingly light in, weight and
texture, and there is not the least
tendency toward the rigidity which
accompanied hoop skirts when they
were in their heyday. The effect
given is that of something quite
floating and unstable, merely holding
out the fabric from the figure to give
more curve, less attenuation.
But, the question is whether this is
only the beginning or whether the
designers have more sinister motives
that they conceal by this graceful ex-
perimentation. The actual hoop skirt
may appear. that accessory which used
to be sold in the shops as a common
article of attire, 75-cent affair that
every woman bought as she bought a
pair of corsets.

come nearer to the old idea of hoop

PETS OF FAMOUS soNGsTERs
Grisi Owned a Monkey, Lind a Mock
Ing Bird and Patti Was Fond
Of q Parrot.

OF all classes of humanity in the
world female singers are the most ad-
dicted to keeping pets, London Tit
Bits states. In the days of her prime,
some years after her marriage with
Mario, Nine. Grisi was the proprietor
of one of the smallest and prettiest
monkeys imaginable. 1t was a speci-
men Of that diminutive and charming
race, the ouistiti, and was usually
most amiable. only protesting by a
plaintive cry whenever its mistress
fondled her children or caressed her
husband in its presence.
When Jenny Lind was in the United
States one of her countless admirers
made her present of fine young
mocking bird in full song. He be-
came exceedingly tame and was wont
to perch on the great singers finger
and take seed and fruit from between
her lips.
In Minnie Hauck's Swiss home she
was always surrounded by flocks of
tame pigeons that perched on her
shoulder and ate from her hand. They
often carried their audacity so far as
to enter her bedroom and revel in a
good wash in her toilet pitcher, to the
great disorganization Of the very neat
arrangements Of her washstand.
The parrot of Nine. Patti is quite
a famous fowl, not only on account of
the celebrity Of its owner, but also be-
cause of its own varied accomplish

The veteran bacteriologist was in q

THE GERMANS AND THEIR spun

We of America have not yet lear1sd
the essential science of utilizing onx
potato crops to the fullest ADVANTAGE
and prices will not materially improve
until this is done. A careful censns
shows that in one year in Germany the
production of 1879, ,533 1893 bushel2Wns
produced on $751; 700 acres. The pota,
to acreage on the United States in the
big year of 1912 was 3,711,00O and tho
production 42O,647, 900 bushels, little
more than quarter Of the German
production. Iu Germany potatoes oc-
cupy two thirds of the total area given
to titled crop ald tnis means 1913 par
cent Of the total area. Economic in
vestigaticns III Germany are well ad-
vanccd and study has been made vi

figures are v,ry important and SHOULD
be of great interest to everyone in
this country wlo have anything to da
with the prediction of this crop; Az
100000 bushels of potatoes used in the
table; 81 ,S3S,5SS bushels made into al
cohol 81 .426,666 bushels made into
s,arch; 1.l, ,O13,s33 bushels used fos
seed; 646,5OG,666 bushels used for feeu
ing cattle and l57 ,953,33 bushels of 20
tatoes lost or ten per cent Of the total
production.
The potato furnishes twenty-five per
cent of the necessary food of the Ger
man Empire. In the families of the
working men, potatoes constitute fifty
percent Of the food consumed. The
| drying of potatoes is an unknown art
in the United States while in Germany
| it is well established business. in
Europe potato flour is used regularly
and special cook books are published
for its utilization in all kinds of bak-
cry goods. The immigrants from
NorthernEurope accustomed to the us
of potato flour, have created market
