The truth Is that he is not a great su-

The Power OF Sincerity.

Though man must be sincere in
order to be great, he need not be
great in order to be sincere. What
ever may be the size of our brain, the
strength Of our powers, the talents of
any kind with which we are gifted,
sincerity of heart, or belief, or life is
possible to us all. It is of itself a
kind of greatness which, in spite of
many other drawbacks, will make it.
self felt. The honest, upright man,
who lives openly, fearlessly, and
truly, protesting only what he feels,
unfolding only what he believes in,
pretending nothing, Disgusting nothing,
deceiving no one, claims uncOn-
sciously a respect and honor that we
cannot give to any degree of power
or ability welded with duplicity or
cunning. If we could correctly di-
vide the world into the sincere and
the insincere, we should have a much
truer estimate of real worth than we
generally obtain. 1t is the fashion to
gauge people by what they believe
rather than how they believe it. Yet
important as is the former, the latter
is. much more so.-Exchange.

BIG GUNS ARE STRENGTHENED
One Hundred and Seventeen Miles OF
Steel Wire Is Wound Around a
TWeIVe-Inch Weapon.

No fewer than 11S miles Of steel
wire are wound on a 12-inch gun that
weighs 1872 tons, says a writer in the
Mitigate Monthly. In appearance, this
wire, which is of the same quality as
piano wire, resembles tape; it is one
quarter of an inch wide and one-tenth
of an inch thick. It is tested to a
breaking strength of IL tons. The
wire unWinds from a reel as the gun
barrel revolves, and tension of about
80 tons to the square inch insures me-
chanical accuracy in wrapping it round
the gun.
Various parts of the gun receive diff
ferent thicknesses of wire. At the
breach of a 12-inch gun, where the
chief strain comes, there are 90 lay
ers, which give thickness Of nine and
a half inches of wire, but at the muz-
zle there are only IA layers. Over the
wire the gunmakers shrink on steel
rings at white heat. When they cool
they contract and grip with immense
force. The rifiing Of the barrel is an
automatic proceSS-an example OF
wonderful mechanical ingenuity. When
the gunis finished experts test the &C.

percha.

STRONGHOLD OF THE BEAVER
Largest Colony in Existence Making q
Last Stand In Businesses OF
Southern Rockies.

Far up in the Businesses of the
southern Rockies, hidden in one of the
most inaccessible hooks that remain
in this country today, what is proba-
bly, the largest existing colony of beaE-
err, has established itself for a last
stand.
The beaver was once one of the most
abundant of our American animals, but
the ease with which he was trapped
and the value of his fur soon drove
him far on the road to extinction. Soon
only the most stringent of protective
legislation was able to save him, but
now he seems to be 'coming back"
and wherever he finds a favorable 10.
cation he increases rapidly.
There is no better place in the world
to study the interesting habits of this
little animal than in that little hidden
mountain valley just south Of the Col
orado line which the Mexicans have
christened "Lagunitas" and the Ameri-
cans call Beaver Lakes" The valley
nestles against the very backbone of
the continental divide, 10000 feet
above sea level and from every side
it is approachable only ~ long and
toilsome forest travel, except in win
ter, when it is not approachable at all.
The hollow in the mountains crest Is
dotted with irregular rows and minia-
ture ranges of hills, two and three
hundred feet high, that make up
most beWildering topography.
In among these hills the beaver have
built them a city. The landscape is
ideal for the building. Of their dams.
and by throwing barriers of stick and
mud from hillside to hillside they have
created a dozen big lakes, some of
them half mile long. Along the
shores of these lakes are built the
beavers lodges, There are probably
thousand beaver in this community,
reigning in undisputed supremacy over
their mountain domain. They are shy
brutes, but very early in the morning
and just at sunset you can often sur
prise them cutting the quaking aspen
on the bank with their chisel teeth or
plastering away industriously at one

War Financing and Taxes.

Those who read about the immense
war budgets now being voted and who
fear the United States is plunging it.
self hopelessly into debt, may take
some heart from comparing the situa-
ton with that of other countries. The
wealthsof the United States is figured
at $3.50, 600, 900, 900, and our personal
incomes $40, 600, 000,0 900 per year. If
then we raise $4,000, 600, 900 by bonds
and So, 500, 600, 900 by direct taxes, we
shall have at the end of the year. less
than six per cent of our national wealth
mortgaged, and the taxes will amount
to somewhat less than ten per cent of
our total income.
On this same basis we estimate our
per capita debt next June will be about
$126 as compared to nearly $500 per
capita in both England and France.
The Russian national debt is at present
S125 per capita and is causing grave
concern, but that is because Russia
compared to the United States is a
poor country-not poor in possibilities,
but poor in present liquid wealth.
Our federal taxes will amount to
something like $50 per capita, about
the same as France, but much lower
than the British tax, but because our
income averages larger than that of
either country the tax is relatively
considerably less. The Alexander Ham
ilton Institute figures the amounts col
lected for incomes from the various
countries as per cent from the United
States, 1855 per cent from England,
1913 per cent from France, per cent
from Russia and 1873 per cent from
Germany.
The first Is months of war will cost
the u. S. $19, ,O00,0 900. Of this
amount more than one-half is loaned to
the Allies, or is invested in commercial
enterprises that will have value after
the coming of peace. Since the out
break of the war between the United
States and Germany we have already
loaned over 81, 200, 000, 600 to the Allies.
These large amounts are loaned to
them in order to pay for goods which
they have purchased from US. The
balance of trade in our favor at the
present time is about $500, 600, 900 per
month and this represents roughly
loans which we must make.
