Mules Not Treacherous.

Mules are charged with treachery
only by those who have never given an
intensive study TO their habits Mules
defend themselves from that which
they do not understand. They become
accustomed to being harnessed while
colts and it is traditional that q mule
never kicks while being saddled or har-
messed. The beast knows what that
means. But it is also traditional that
a mule sleeps with one eye open. He is
always alert to what is going on about
him. 1t is never safe to stoop down
suddenly to pick something up behind
or at the side of a mule. That is to
him an unexplained action. He can
not fathom the intent back of it and
he generally lets fly with one or both
heels by way of protest.

WHAT IS MEANT BY
 THE CAl|BER OF A GUN

Confusion as to the meaning of the term cahber arises chiefly from it's use as an adjective to indicate length, as when we say "a 50 caliber six inch gun" The word caliber as applied to artillery signifies the diameter of the bore of gun measured diametically from face to face of the bore of course, somewhat larger.
 gun, then, of six nch caliber is a gun whose bore is just six Inches. For convenience and because the power of a gun when once it's bore has been decided upon depends so greatly upon its length artillerists are in the habit of defining the length of the gun in terms of the caliber.
 Thus the twelve inch United States naval gun. which is forty feet in length, is spoken of as 40 cariber twelve inch. the length being just for-
