Why DO Rifle Barrels Burst2

Although shOtguns and rifles are
tested with loads which give pressures
far above those produced by ordinary
ammunition, swollen or burst gun bar
rels are not uncommon. The cause is
either attributed to defective ammu-
milton or to an obstruction in the bore,
such as snow or dirt. The pressure
of the powder gases themselves are
not to blame, for investigation has
proved that the swelling or rupture
is caused by the compression of the
air between the bullet and the obstruc-

Romans Raised Big Turnips.

The Romans raised turnips some
times weighing 40 pounds, and it is
thought they introduced the turnips in
to England where, as Cogan said
(1597) Although many men love to
eat turnips, swine abhor them" In
1929 and 1880 when there was dearth
in England, good and wholesome white

WOMEN TROOPER TO LEAVE FUR
 THE FRONT
tBy Associated Press)

NEW YORK, August 23.-It was the death of her husband which prompted ! Ensign Vera Butchkareff to enlist in the Russian army and eventually to organize the Women's Legion of Death, of which she is commander, and which achieved fame in a recent l battle with the Germans, according to Rfacts received by the Russian infor- nation bureau here. According to this information, Vera Butchkareff is young country woman, who went to Petrograd from her native village in the province of Tomsk.
 Having learned in May, 1915, that her husband was dead on the German frontier, she made up her mind to continue the task which her husband began and enlisted in the 25th Re serve Corps of Tomsk.
 After a comparatively short train ing, she went to the front with a com

SMALL GRAF I |S NOW CAREFULLY
 GUARDED

NEW YORK, Aug. 24. - The war has put pep into harbOr excursions. No longer does the small motor launch. the coat boat or houseboat wend it's way down the harbor unchallenged and unmolested. One really appreci- ates the fact that America is "in" af- ter water jaunt.
 Every craft, large or small is held up by the government patrol boats, and asked for an account of itself. Of course the large steamers are eas- fly discernible, and therefore not stop ped. But woe betide the private yacht 'Or craft of any description that at tempts to get by. It may cruise along for II lies, it's occupants smiling at the thought of putting one over on Uncle Sam. At this juncture business like little patrol boat is liable to come alongside. A murderous looking mounted gun may be seen, and from the boat a stentorian voice directs that the craft put back and report to the mother ship. And the craft that tried to run the gauntlet goes back.
 Another stern reminder that the United States means business is the buoys marking the position of the great steel chain extending across the harbor. The chain is designed to take care of any U-boats that come this way. The harbor is an unhealthy place for a ~ becalmed sailboat. It would be decidedly unhealthy, the au- thorities tell you, to allow your boat to bump into any stray floating object, Mines are no respecters of ships.

pany that was to fill the ranks. Col. onel Stubindorf enlisted her as q re- gnlar in the 28th Poloszk regiment. second army. For three months Vera Butchkareff fought with a rifle. and on March 8, 1916, was wounded in the leg under heavy artillery fire in a bat tie which took place on Lake Naroch. The wound, notwithstanding, she re- mained at the front with her com rades, who captured two lines of trenches and one thousand prisoners
 On March 9, after the commander and the captain were killed she led the soldiers in an attack which result ed in victory for the Russians.
 Afterward she went to the Austrian front, and was wounded in her arm. while taking part in a counter charge near the Doubova Korchma. Never theless, she retained her position in army. But in the next charge she was wounded severely by a fragment of a shell. She was taken to the hos pital. where she remained for four months. Immediately upon recovery. she went to Petrograd and saw NJ. Rodzianko, president of the Duma. to ask permission to organize a company of women.
 In a recent interview, Vera Butch kareff said:

for the front at once. We will set an example to the men soldiers, many of whom misunderstood the meaning lof liberty. It is enough to point to the assertions. to the fraternization and to all the undesirable phenomena that are responsible for the disorgani- zation of our forces. I will sacrifice my life for my country, and I am sure that I will find followers among the women. Woman's mission is not only to give life to man. but it is also up to us women to teach men how to de- fend the newborn freedom"

NEWS OF INTEREST.
FROM SCANDINAVIA 81. n !
Resume Of the Important Happenings
In Sweden, Norway and
Denmark.
NORWAY.

The great Norwegian cod fishery,
which extends along the coast from
F1nmarken to the vicinity of Bergen,
and is most productive at Lofoten
islands, closed for the season with 4
total catch of 81, 1877 900 fish, according
to the report of e. Haldeman Denni-
son, United States consul at Kris
tiania. This is Is, 437 900 fish less than
in 1915 and less than in any year since
1908. The greater part OF the catch,
49, 4l,OOO fish, was sailed and pre-
pared as split fish, 3,256,O00 were dried
as stock fish and most of the remain
der were exported fresh. Although
the average, the great demand for fish,
due to the war, made the value great
er than in any previous year. The Of
fetal estimate is $2O,100,00O. In 1915
the estimated value was only 9,461,-
0OO, and in 1914 $8,584,500. The value
OF the herring landed during the past
season was about $23,OO0,00O for the
green fish," and the value Of the
canned fish exported, chiefly sprats
and small herring, was about $14,OOO,-
00O. These figures indicate the great
profit that the Norwegian fishing in
dustry has made, due to the high
prices obtained because OK the existing
war in Europe. 1t has neen reported
that the British government has pur-
chased this years entire Norwegian
fish catch, and that th> purchase in
cludes also sardines and other canned
fish. In virtue of a resolution of the
storthing export duties have been
placed upon large variety of fish and
fishery products, the amounts ranging
from 26.S cents per 100 kilos for split
fish to $1.34 per barrel for spiced her
rings. These duties came into force
on March 80 and will continue until
June 80, 1917, unless modified by royal
decree.
