Piano PLAYING.

No instrument has such vast lit
erature, as rich and voluminOus, as
the plane, and more people are teach
ing and studying it than any otAer
instrument. The reason that, in spite
of it's popularity, there are only few
who play It we'll and artistically is
that the majority of people consider
piano playing more as means of
amusement and pleasant diversion
than as medium with which it is
possible to produce the deepest feel

DEATHS FROM INFLUENZA.

The influenza epidemic has thus far
taken much heavier toll of American
life than has the great war. The total
loss of life throughout the country is not
known, but the bureau of the census has
been publishing, for 46 large cities having
a combined population estimated at 3d.
600, 900, weekly reports showing the NOR
taIity from influenza and pneumonia.
These reports, which cover the period
from Sept. 8 to Nov 9, inclusive, show a
total of 80, 300 deaths from these causes.
It is estimated that during similar
period of time the normal number of
deaths due to influenza and pneumonia in
the same cities would be about 1000,
leaving approximately $4,000 as the
number properly chargeable to the cpl
demic.
The total casualties in the American
expeditionary forces have recently been
unofficially estimated at 100, 600. On the
basis of the number thus far reported, it
NAV be assumed that the deaths from all
causes, including disease and accidents,
are probably less than As per cent, and
may not be more than 40 per cent. of the
total casualties. On this assumption, the
loss of life in the American expeditionary
forces to date is about 40, 900 or $4,000

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS.

Is there ANYTHING in the report that the
"balle D' 8 m. m. Lebel cartridge and the
single shot rifle manufactured in this couD-
Try for the French early in the war are as
good combination for target shooting as
the Springfield 'O3 rifle and the 'O6 cart
ridge? How do the results compare with
tine shooting with the French Label rifle?
Z. N. D., Akron, Ohio.
There is not Good accuracy for war
purposes is obtainable with them, but far
from flattering. For comparison, tests
with these rifles and their ammunition
have shown that at 500 yards the single
shot model gave average groups of IL in
ches mean radius, whereas the Lebel gave
groups of rs inches mean radius, and the
Springfield is capable of groups of 4
inches mean radius and smaller
To help me make allowances in shooting
my % caliber autoloading rifle will you
kindly publish the drop at 40, 60 and 80
yards?
w. f NJ, Columbus, Ohio.
With the barrel in a horizontal position
and measuring from the line of the axis
of the bore, the drop at 40 yards is rough
ly 8 inches, at 90 yards inches and at
80 yards IL 10 inches Whatever error
exists in these figures is on the side Of
safety, or in other words, precise figures
will reveal the drop to be slightly less
than as given.
What is your oest suggestion for keeping
my feet warm in rubber boots on duck
hunt in cold weather?
d. r. G., Syracuse, N. Y.
First, be sure to wear boots that are
one size larger than the shoes you ordi-
narily wear. Next, wear inside them
one good big pair of soft wool socks, and
outside these socks pair of "moccasins"
made OF unfeeced sheepskin, with the
wool inside. In addition to the above,
we also are addicted TO cork insoles.
In duck shooting with heavy loads in my
doubIe-barrel gun, when firing the right
barrel with the front trigger the trigger
guard raps my second finger, so that this
soon gets sore. Is there some way can
overcome this?
NJ. c. r., Alliance. Neb.
Yes, either have your gun fitted with a
single trigger or buy soft rubber finger
guard made for the purpose and for sale
in most good sporting goods stores.
