Power of Bio Guns.

II is not easy to understand what the
power Of a gun really is-its penetrat-
ing and destructive power. What we
call 15-inch gun-which means one
whose muzzle or hollow part is Is
inches in diameter-will hurl q shell
right thru a plate or wall OF the hard
est steel IL inches thick seven miles
from the muzzle. The power of the
very largest land guns ever made-the
German howitzers or 16.5-inch guns
is such that one of their missiles cracks
omen steel and concrete fort as If 1t
were a nut.
There are two classes of guns-naval
guns and army or land guns. Because
they can be manipulated more easily
than those of ship, land guns are the
heavier. From to 10 miles Is the
greatest distance that a gunner can
cover successfully at sea. The largest
naval gun is the 15-inch English gun
on the famous superdreadnoughts. and
the largest land gun is the German
howitzer. OF the two the naval gun
fires a shell weighing over half ton.
while the other fires proJectile a ton
in weight. But the new giant 16-inch
guns of the United States, defending
the Panama Canal and New York at
Sandy Hook, shoot projectiles weighing
1870 pounds, which is over a ton.
These immense steel guns can sink a
ship before it has really come into sight
on the horizon, the location Of the bat
tlestip having been determined by air
plane or tower. - Popular Science

Take Care Of the Eggs.

The United States Department Of
has called attention to the
fact that carelessness in handling eggs
causes an annual loss Of over thirteen
millions OF them. The loss is due to
small cracks in the shells. Once an egg
shell is cracked even so slightly that
the eye can not detect 1t. the delicate.
protective, gelatinous coating which
nature provides as lining for 1t be-
comes exposed to the attack Of germs
and mold forms, lessening the keeping
quality Of the egg.
Five per cent Of all cold storage eggs,
the specialists find, spoil because Of
these small, scarcely perceptible cracks.
Just a little more care in handling the
eggs on the farm and in their transit
to market and to the consumer will
greatly lessen this important wastage.

and sparring were violations of the
penal law in the State of New York,
and boxing exhibitions with or with
out gloves at which an admission fee
was charged or received, either di-
rectly or indirectly, were forbidden.
Horton Law
In 1896 the statute prohibiting
spanning was amended. and allowed
athletic clubs to hold boxing and
sparring matches provided the club
owned the building or had a lease
Tor at least one year upon the build
ing. This was known as the Horton
law. On September l, 1900, the Hor-
ton law was repealed, and boxing
and sparring were forbidden in the
State of New York up to July, 1911,
when the Frawley law provided that
the provisions of the penal code
should not apply to any sparring
match or exhibition conducted by a
club licensed by the State Athletic
commission.
During the four years in which
the Horton law was in effect many
notable ring battles were fought in
the Empire State and several cham
pionships in different classes changed
hands. From 1900 to 1911 no con-
lSoIS VI prominence were OeclOeQ IN
New York but many bouts were held
under the Club membership" plan
by which the promoters claimed i'm
munity from any infraction of the
law on the ground that no admission
fee was charged.
Clubs Show Activity
The repeal of the Frawley meas
ure by the Slater bill. which will go
into effect next November, has been
anticipated by many club owners
and promoters throughout New York
State. Several of them are engaged
in polishing up their charters, which
have lain on dusty shelves for nearly
six years and are registering new
lists of members, with the idea of re-
ceiving the membership plan.
Taking into consideration that al
most a full year will have elapsed
before the Slater bill becomes oper-
ative and that many important ring
conetsts are to be decided here in
the meantime it is fairly safe pre-
dict that the sixth and final years
boxing under the Frawley regime
will be productive of tax which will
bring the total amount of income to
the State from this source up to one
third of a million dollars.

vent men who profit by their athle-
tic ability from going from college
to colleeg for gain and a continua-

Major Pickering's Opinion
Major Pickering is of the opinion
that unless sports are resumed by
the colleges, it will tend to show that
the colleges devoted attention to ath-
letics only when good teams of
championship caliber can be devel-
oped and that sports are not only a
secondary consideration, but tend to
do no good for the undergraduates.
But such tendency does not show
that the sporting activities are not
good for the undergraduates, for
such men as Major General Wood,
President Wilson and others in au-
thority have expressed their opinion
that the colleges continue their
sports and in this manner keeu the
men who are not eligible for serv-
ice in good physical condition until
they are ready for duty, thus MAX
