STORY OF A FORCED LOAN.
The Way zapata Gave che Bankers Of
Mexico Two Surprises.

one morning Iapata, the Mexican
was prohibition edict closing the
saloous. the other a command for the
bankers of the city to assemble for
conference.
The bankers attended the meeting
They went In fear, drcading confisca-
ton of their deposits. Only few
days before the armies of General
CarranZa had collected "forced loan"
of 100000 pesos from the banks.
What mercy could he expected of the
bandit leader? Zapata's. speech was
short and to the point
"Caballcros," he said, "my men are
hungry. l want 10000 pesos to feed
them for few days. You will pay
this. l promise YOU protection. You
may carry on your business without
molcstation as long as you do not aid
the enemy. You may go when you
sign the order for the money"
Thankful to escape with such a mod
est demand the bankers did as they
were ordered. Xapata kept his part of
the bargain, and for mouths the city
was better policcd than it has ever
been since Porfirio Diaz was driven
from Mexico But this is the strange
part of the story-strange to one who
knows the system of coniiscation which
has bled the business men of the coun-
try:
Ten days later Zapata paid back tho
10000 pesos s.-Chrstian Herald,

ARM0R PIERCING SHELLS.
Thoy Proved Their Superiority Over
the Gathmann Explosives.


the Gathmann Explosives.
The late Louis Gnthmann, the inven-
tor, who died Mt the age of seventy
four years, laborcd long and hard and
with zeal and enthusiasm to bring
about the development of the high ex-
plosivc shell which bore his name.
1t was Mr.. Gathmanns belief that It
was not necessary to carry the high
explosive shell through armor plate
ana into the interior of ship, but that
if sufficient quantity were detonated
against the outside of ship 1t would
be equally If not more destructive.
lie secured from congress an nppro-
priation for an eighteen inch gun capa-
bic of throwing shell containing 800
pounds OF guncotton. Our army and
navy officers held that the only effec-
tive shell would he one of the armor
piercing type provided with n delayed
action fuse, which would burst the
shell back of the armor.
Both types were tested at Sandy
Hook about n score of years ago The
armor piercing shell penetrated an
eleven inch plato and tore the backing
to pieces. The Gathmann shell burst
against the face of the plate, but failed
to do more than dent 1t In the earlier
rounds, finally cracking 1t In two in
the last round. The superiority of the
armor piercing shell was thus estab-
llshed.-Los AngclessTimes.
