YEARS FUEL SUPPLY

TheFuel Administration is carry

ing all industries which use large
quantities of fuel, with a view to
learning the requirements Of each line
during 1918. The industries them
selves are playing a leading part in
tehse discussions. The al moi the

supplies not needed during the current
year.
The order which has been issued
limiting the use of fuel for the produc-
zion of window glass TO -56~per cent of
the amount manufactured In 1917 is
the result of offe of the conferences.
A survey of the field indicated that
while not more than 100000 boxes
of window glass would be used in
1918. competitive conditions were
likely to result in the oyermanufac-

Redmond's eloquence and his

In 1900 he succeeded in bringing
about AN amalgamation of the two

his opposition as Nationalist Leader

Redmond was well known in the

number, multiplied by c again, gives MS

A auick glance into fable of logarlth-

by two we have a figure in degrees and
minutes that represents the angle which
the gun mus2 be elevated from the hori-
zontal to send its proiectile 10000 yards

200 feet above the level of the gun. Also
because of the curvature Of the earth this
200 feet height has been reduced some
what. SO once more we delve INTO maine
matics to correct for curvature Of the
earth and height of site of the target. The
result we subtract from the angle found.
and this time our gun is ready for busi-
ness. Is 1T? No; it is not so easy.
The Influence Of the Rbling.
Every rifled piece of ordnance innparts
a twist to its proiectile, and this twist
causes the projectile to dcviatc from its
course. In our service this deviation
called drift, is to the right and is in ratio
with the range. 1t is constant. therefore,
for each range, and we find it very easily,
either by mathematic computation or from
drift tables. Also we go back to our wind
problem and find what effect the wind
will have in pushing the projectile from
its course either to the right or left. These
two corrections are brought together and

Again. there may be a difference in

the artilicrynsan Reduced to language
for the iayman, It consists in the knOwl-
cGse Of just how far a given piece Of
ordnance will hnrl its proiectile under
al conditions.
Very simple. say you. Yes, under stand
ard conditions. Every gun when it is
turned out from the maker is known to
fire a certain projectile to n certain range
az 4 certain elevation. These data are
compiled in tables and are theoretically
the same for all guns Of the same calibre
and model These tables are known as
range tables. and the conditions given
for the firing of projectiles for these
theoretical ranges are known as range
table conditions Remember this.
Now some Of the principal range table
conditions or assumptions are that the
earth is fat and does not reyolse; that the
atmospheric conditions are standard; that
there IS no wind; that sun and target arc
on the same level, and that the action Of
gravity is constant throughout the ira
iectory.
All well and good. We know that our
gun, then, will fire its proiectile, let us
say, ten thousand yards, under range table
conditions. In other words, given the
above conditions, it will, if properly laid
in direction, hit a target ten thousand
yards away. But unfortunately for us
the earth is not fiat, our target is ten thou
sand yards away and two hundred feet
above the level Of the gun there is a ten
