THROUGH STEEL FOOT THICK
Great Power of the Fifteen-inch Guns
Now in Use in the European
War.

We hear much and have read more
about the power of big guns and havoc
they create, yet very few people really
understand the immense power behind
one of these modern engines of de-
struction. writes a war correspondent.
What, for instance, do you understand
by the power of a 15-ineh gun?"
To form some idea, suppose wall
II inches thick and made of the hard
est steel; then take an automobile and
drive seven miles away from the wall.
Arrived at that point you will find a
big gun aimed at the wall you have
left seven miles behind and which you
cannot see. Go over to the gun and
pull the lanyard. The steel that you
release by pulling this lanyard will
travel through the air the entire dis
tance you have come by automobile
and will go right through the 12-inch
| steel wall.
The most powerful land guns ever
made are the German howitzers, or
| 16.5-inch guns. The most formidable
steel and concrete forts are cracked

they were made of paper. Naval guns
cannot be developed to the same size
| as land guns because it is more diff
| cult to handle one of these aboard a
ship. For that reason the greatest ef-
fective range with naval gun is from
eight to ten miles. The largest naval
gun is the 15-inch gun on the famous
British superdreadnaught Queen Eli
Zabeth, while the German 42-centimet-
er howitzer, which reduced Antwerp
anG other fortresses believed impreg
nable, is the most powerful land gun
The great guns aboard the Queen Eli
zabeth fire projectiles which weigh 8
ton. The United States, however, now
has guns defending the Panama cana
and New York, which hurl through the
air mass of metal weighing almost
400 pounds more than the British su
perdreadnaught's guns.

UNCOVER RICHES IN RUSSIA
Development of Mineral Deposits, Re
tarded by Autocracy, Now Likely
to Be Rapid.

AS in everything else, the old re-
gime of Russia had it's strangle hold
on the gold industry. Siberia and the
Ural could be considered the classical
parts of the world where deposits Of
precious minerals abound and under
a free and progressive government
they could easily lead all the other
parts of the world, says the Russian
American Journal of Commerce The
Russian press is full of news items
chronicling new discoveries of gold
and platinum deposits, as well as
other rare metals.
So from Krasnoyarsk, in Siberia,
came the news that in the northern
and southern Enisey mountain dis
tricts the gold seekers have lately
washed gold to the amount of about
$3.50 pounds. From the Lena, well
known as a gold-bearing river, comes
the word that new rich gold and plati-
mum deposits were discovered on her
tributaries, Willy and also Markha.
With the laying of the tracks Of the
Amur railroad there is almost q con-
tinuous procession of discoveries of
new deposits Of precious metals, espe-
cially ON the Rivers Burea and Khara
all the deposits are not far from the
new laid tracks and offer all the op-
portunities for a successful develop
ment of the newly discovered deposits

Long before dawn the thirty prison

cheroot some twenty PAGES away,
sitting on an unmarked chest of medi-
cines. He seemed absorbed in a book
on surgery. Ismail nursed the new
handbag on his knees, picking ever
lastingly at the lock and wondering
audibly what the bag contained to an
accompaniment of low-growled sympa-
thy.

and he said so. Then why-why in
Allah's name-am I not to have the
key of this little bag that holds so
little and is so light?"
"a razor would slit the leather cas-
ily," suggested one of the herd. 'Then,
later, the bag might be pushed vio-
lently against some sharp thing, to ex-
plain the cut"
| Ismail shook his head.
"Why? What could he do to theeY'
'It is because / know not what he
would do to me that I will do moth

Pray at Old Shrine,

Fifteen years ago the supreme court
of the United States evicted 800 In
dians from their old home on Warmers
ranch in California. Some time later
the Sequoia league induced President
Roosevelt to name a commission to
find a new tract for the Indians. This
resulted in the government buying the
Pala valley, where the Indians found
homes much better than those they
were evicted from. But Warmers
ranch was the old domicile, where Fa-
ther Ubach of San Diego held services
once a year, at which time all mar
riages, baptisms and funerals were
held. The present priest is Father
George G. Doyle and he has rehabili-
tated the chapel "for memory's sake.'
On recent Sunday the old chapel was
rededicated, and the Indians from the
Pala valley were happy in praying at
the old shrine.

CHAPTER V-continued.


The Rangar's eyes blazed for a Sec
ond and then grew cold again, as King
did not fail to observe. All this while
the women danced on, in time to wall
ing flute music, until, it seemed from
nowhere, a lovelier woman than any
of them appeared in their midst, sit
ting cross-legged with fiat basket at
her knees. She sat with arms raised
and swnyed from the waist as If in a
delirium. Her arms moved in narrow
ing circles, higher and higher above
the basket lid, and the lid began to
rise. 1t was minutes before the bodies
of two great king cobras could be
made out, moving against the woman's
spangled dress with hoods raised, hiss
ing the cobra's hate-song that is pre-
lude to the poison-death.
They struck at the woman, one after
the other, and she leaped out of their
range, swift and as supple as they.
Instantly then she Joined in the dance,
with the snakes striking right and
left at her. Left and right she swayed
to avoid them, far more gracefully
than matador avoids the bull and
courting deadlier peril than he-poi-
sonous, two to his one. AS she danced
she whlrled both arms above her head
and cried as the werewolves are said
to do on stormy nights.

King, In a calm aside to Rewa Gunga,

Seeing Oneself.

"a sense of the dramatic is, of
course, closely connected with a sense
of humor. If you have this faculty for
getting outside yourself and criticizing
yourself, you will be pretty sure to see
whether you look ridiculous. If you
are a real artist in the exercise of the
gift, you will also see yourself in your
right perspective with regard to other
people. The artist must not be an
egoist He must not allow the lime
light to be centered on himself. He
will see himself, not as the hero Of
the story, but as one of the characters
the hero, perhaps, of one chapter,
but equally minor character in the
others. The greatest artist of all, prob
ably, is the man who prays, and tries
to see the story as the author designed
it. He will have the truest sense of
proportion, the most adequate sense OF
humor of all. Undoubtedly prayer is
the highest form of exercising this
sense of the dramatic.-From "a Stua
dent in Arms"

"Aye! We are her men!' came the
chorus, so that King looked up and
watched them over the open book.

down to light another of his black

ceased to exercise its charm over him.

all been buried there!

RESTED men BEST
Can Do More Work Than Those
Who Are Fatigued.
Josephine Goldman Discusses the Ten.
Hour Law-Great Changes Are
Taking Place.

Tremendous changes in the nations
industrial life are taking place in the
midst Of war. None is greater than
that caused by the Supreme court de-
cision holding valid the Oregon ten
hour law for men and it's minimum
wage law for women and girls, says
the New York Evening Sun.
Eleven states have been marking
time, half-heartedly enforcing their
minimum wage laws; in reality, hold
ing them in allegiance pending the rul-
ing of the United States Supreme
court.
In New York state Senator Wagner
has introduced bill establishing the
minimum wage principle. In the Dis
trict of Columbia plans for the intro
duction in congress of a minimum
wage bill have been held up for year
in the hope of favorable decision on
the Oregon statute. Similarly, 1egis-
lators in number of states have been
reluctant to present minimum wage
bills under the rendering of decision
by the Supreme Court of the United
States.
Arkansas, California, Oregon, Colo
| RADIO, Kansas, Massachusetts,, Mime
sofa, Nebraska, Utah, Washington and
| Wisconsin are the states that have the
minimum wage laws on their statute
records. In California the authority
of the Industrial commission expired
and enforcement of the law was prac-
tfcally dropped pending the Oregon
case. In Minnesota it was imperative
because of an injunction.
Miss Josephine Goldmark, associated
in writing the briefs in the Oregon
case, said after the decision:
GAS to the ten-hour law for men,
such law is a states most urgent
duty. In overwork America finds one
of its most serious menaces to the
public health. People die young in
America. Workers wear out quickly
The average length Of life has been
increased, but fewer adults than ever
live to old age.
'The tired worker is a great prob
lem for society. The victim of ia.
tigue is a menace to public health and
morals and to national integrity. He
takes to drink and drugs. America
in war needs to conserve it's vigor and
energy. The rested man can do more
work than the man who is fatigued."

One Fish a Day Is Limit.

The limit catch for anglers in Range
ley stream, near Haines Landing, Me-,
is probably the smallest of any waters
in the United States-daily limit one
fish fly fishing only.
The reason is that this stream is the
bSeeding place for the big Rangeley
trout, and Maine sees that it's stock of
big trout is not unnecessarily depleted.
The famous Page trout that weighed
12 pounds was taken from this stream
In 1867. The fish was the record fish
for almost fifty years, the laurels than
going to the 141a-pound trout taken in

Dried Potatoes in Bolivia.

Throughout the Andean plateau of
Bolivia potatoes are cultivated at al
titudes where even the hardest grains
and vegetables will not grow. The
natives have a method of preserving
potatoes, which consists of alternate
freezing and thawing until all the
moisture is removed. The resulting
product is known as chunu, and it can
be stored for months and even years
without fear of deterioration. Pressed
into little bullet-shaped pieces, chunu
is universally offered for sale in the
markets, and is one of the chief foods
of the native population. The same
report states that France and Sweden
have imported seed potatoes from Bo-
livia.

When Spain Ruled in Dress.

In the sixteenth century Spain ruled
the world in dress. She has the credit
of separating the bodice from the skirt.
Through the centuries she has pre-
sented pictorial appeal in costumery,
through portraiture and literature.
Zuolaga's women on canvas con-
tinue to present fascinating features
in dress to the girl in an American
suburb. The white stockings and black
pumps, the small fan in brilliant col
ors, the floating scarf over the shoul-
ders, the slightly full flounce of lace
rs finish to the costume from knees
to ankles, are bits of costumery that
are not unfamiliary to those who
know not Goya, Zloaga or Sorolla.
