the cattle received as much corn silage
and clover hay as they could eat.
In addition, Lot 1 receiver full feed
of shelled corn and linseed oil cake
in the proportion of six pounds Of corn
to one pound of linseed cake. Lot 2
received the same amount OF linseed
cake at Lot /, but only One-haif as

MAXIM EXPLAINS GERMAN Gun
Derides Idea That Shells Are Dead
When They Fall

From the New York Journal.
Hudson Maxim, ordnance and explo-
.sive inventor, is ready to build a gun
that will hurl a shell from London into
Berlin. Mr.. Maxim said he could build
such gun at any time the allied gov
ernments wished to finance the job, but
he added that he would not urge the
plan,, as the game would not be worth
the powder.
Mr. Maxim pooh-poohed reports that
the shells from the new German gun
fall virtually inert in Paris after
travelling seventy-six miles. He also
branded as nonsense the statements
that the protectiles describe q fiat
trajectory with d maximum altitRGe
of fifteen miles. Mr.. Maxim said:
Put no stock in that statement that
the shells are nearly dead when they
strike. The rumor that they go no
higher than fifteen miles is also NJ
credible.
THE probable explanation of the
slight force with which they are said
to fall is because they carry a COM
paratively light charge of explosive
and a very thick steel jacket. This
would be necessary in order to dis
charge them with sufficient velocity
for so great a range.
Even if the maximum altitude were
but twenty miles, those shells would
fall at high velocity. Just fancy any
thing falling fifteen miles and landing
lightly! It's absurd.
las a matter of fact, they will prob
ably find that the shells go up through
the atmosphere to forty miles maxi
mum altitude. At that height there
would be almost absolute vacuum.
The gun would be fired at an angle of
about As degrees, scarcely less.
THE muzzle velocity of a 9-inch |
naval gun that would fire shell twen- |
ty miles is about $500 or 5000 feet a !.
second To double that range, you |
must double the velocity and four |
times the energy. To attain range
of seventy-fve to eighty miles, you
would double the length of the gun
and use eight times the original energy |
or powder. This would send shell
with a muzzle velocity of six thou
sand to eight thousand feet a second
las to the force with which the
shell would fall, remember that one
pound dropped a thousand feet
through a vacuum would hit the earth
with the force of thousand pounds
dropped one foot. Shells do not drop
in a vacuum, of course. but the prin-
ciple is the same"

tanned in the silage. Lot received
the same amount of linseed cake as
the first three lots, which averaged
PIT pounds per steer daily, while Lot
5 received an average daily ration per
steer of "A pounds of linseed cake.
Lots / and 2 were sold on the market
for $14.4O and Lots 8, and 5 were
sold for $14.10 per hundred-weight,
but the net profit per steer was great
est in Lot 4, which received no corn in
the ration, the profit being s15.O4.
The results of this test showed that
it is possible to fatten steers for one
half the expense, when corn is fed in
full feed. Such a ration may not make

manifest some times by All inclination
to desert after months of training,
which is a symptom of mental def
cheney, officers say. Ordinarily q SOL
dier, disciplined and trained for
months, responds to orders automatic
ally. 1t is the mission of the psy-
chiatrist board to weed out men who
are likely to fail in critical moments.
The testing of the students minds
is going on constantly. often without
their knowledge. Some tests appear
foolish and provide great amusement
to the students A cadet is sometimes
required to shake his head violently
from side to side six or eight times
and then with his eyes closed COM
manded to touch his nose with his
right fore-fnger. Inability to touch
the nose indicates lack OF the sense
of balance in some degree. This does
not imply a mental deficiency and the
desired sense of balance often can be
developed III those at first lacking it.
Problems to Test mental alertness
are given for instant solution. A Sc
tses of circles is made Oh { white

then are efdeFea TO draw a continuous
line over the first twe, under the Sec
ond three, over and then N4der and
so on, A mans poise is rated py bis
ability 10 follow the confusing direc-
tions, which are given at high speed.
Sometimes a cadet is sent on an er-
rand with instructions to DO Numerous
things. He is rated on his ability 20
them all and on the Sc
luence in which he performs them in
regard to their relative importance
Often a group of men are marched by

The University marketed at Chica-
go, April 2, forty head of 2-year-old
steers which were fattened during the
cattle-feeding test conducted by the
Missouri Experiment Station on the
extensive use of corn silage for fatten-
ing steers. This was the third in the
series of tests begun by the University
three years ago for the purpose OF
showing how to reduce the cost OF
feeding cattle and conserve grain.
The feeding test was used for peri
cd of 100 days, and was conducted dur
ing the past winter. The cattle used
in the test were grade Shorthorn and
Hereford steers. The forty head were

function Of those boards to strength

This war, physicians say, has devel-

than has any previous conflict. Such
results are due to shell shock, under

used for show cattle, but it makes a
satisfactory grade of beef, as was
shown at the inspection in Chicago

experts rated Lot 4 as the best of the
five lots.
In speaking of the success of the
test, H. O. Allison, of the animal hus-
bandry department of the University,
under whose direction the test was
conducted said: "Its extensive adop-
tion by feeders would make possible
an economy in the production of beef
