Eaclh in His Place.

h4Gn n HIS ElaC0. (Thomas DeWift Jones, in Farmers
 Mail and Breeze.) Three men went to the worldwide
 war,
 Each worked In the place he found One went out on the battlefield, One to increase tho harvest yield, And ono to the mill in town. Three men rose as the sun came up, Each brushed the sleep from his
 brow.
 One took his bucket and went to the
 mill And one put his hands to the blow. Three men toiled when the sun was
 high,
 A dust from the struggle rose. One drove the enemy down to defeat, One furniahed rations of bread and
 meat And tho other made their clothes. The three lay down in the quiet night, The day had been nobly won. For one had finished his bit at the
 mill,
 One had toiled on his farm on the hili And one had stayed by his gun.

What Bio Guns Are Made OF.

According to the Mitigate Monthly,
no fewer than III miles Of steel wire
are wound on a 12-inch gun that
weighs 1871 tons. In appearance this
wire. which is of the same quality as
piano wire. resembles tape: 1t is one
quarter Of an inch wide and One-tenth
Of an inch thick. 1t is tested to a
breaking strength Of 40 tons. The
wire unwinds from a reel as the gun
barrel revOlves; and tension of about
fifty tons to the square inch insures
mechanical accuracy in wrapping II
round the gun.
Various parts Of the gun receive
different thicknesses of wire. At the
breech Of a Pinch gun, where the
chief strain comes. there are 81 lay
ers. which give thickness Of 9h
inches of wire but at the muzzle 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 auto
matte process-an example Of wonder
full mechanical ingenuity. When the
gun is finished. experts test the ac-
curacy of the rifling with plastic gut

lite Despotlo Rulers Descend From
Menellk, Son. Of Solomon.
Abyssinia is the Ethiopia Of the
Bible, and 1t is almost unchanged since
the birth of civilization. The line OF
despots that rule Abyssinia today are
the lineal descendants Of Menelik, the
son Of the queen Of Sheba and King
Solomon. They seem to have inherited
very little of the well known wisdom
of their famous sire, however, for
Abyssinia is today the unregenerate
ragamuff1n amorg nations-and also
the picturesque remnant Of the worlds
oldest civilization.
For Abyssinia, surrounded by trop-
ical wilderness and without seaport,
is a country apart from the modern
world-a country Of turbaned and san
daled men, of yelled women wearing
silver anklets, of mighty hunters who
still take their game with leOpards and
hawks as in Biblical days; a land
where gentlemen live by plumber and
monks by aims and man has as many
wives as he can buy or steal
Abyssinia is a fortress of antiquity,
defying the world by its sheer physical
impenetrability. But few degrees
from the equator, it Is a great mass of
igneus mountain ranges flung down
upon tropical plain. Lower Abyssinis
is burning desert and fever ridden Jun
gle. The interior Is healthy upland cut
by great gorges, many Of which are
wholly impossible. In the midst Of
this wilderness is Lake Tsana, forty.
seven miles long and more than 5000
feet above sea level. 1t Is the source
of the Blue Nile.-Exchange.
