TWO WILLS.

IWO L.
For a few days Loria staid in
amusement and entertainment of
Pauline. Together they visited the
Sphinx and the Great Pyramids. To-
gether they made trips to Old Cairo
and to the Ostrich Farm. Together
they saw the Little Fortified Forest.
But the imTediate sights Of Cairo,
the tombs, mosques and baxaars,
Loria told her, she could visit with
Mrs. Macdonald or with their drago-
their trip up the Nile.
Pauline was happy. At Cars re-
quest she had ~endeavored to put out
Of her mind the horrors she had been
through. Frightened at the sus-
picions directed toward herself, fear
ing that she could not successfully
combat them-and, for another rea-
son-she had ned< to Egypt, and her
cousins protection. This other rea-
son she had almost dismissed, from
her mind, and she gave herself up
interest Of her present situation.
After their sightseeing each day,
they returned for tea on the Terrace
at Shepherds or went to Ghezireh
Palace for it, or to the house Of some
friend. Dinner was always a pleas
ant affair. and they had frequent
guests and were often invited out.
AS Pauline was wearing mourning.
no large social affairs were attended.
and under Mrs. MacDonald's guild
ance the girl pursued her happy way.
Nearly a week after Pauline's ar
rival, Loria told her that the next
day he must leave her. and go up the
Nile to attend to his work there.
They were in the sitting room OF
Papline's pleasant suite at the hotel.

WILSON READY
FOR PROTEST
ON MANDATORY
Informs Council Of Four
That Others Should

Paris, May 24.-(By the Associate
ed Press)-President Wilson has in
formed the council Of four, it was req
ported in peace conference circles to-
day. that the other members Of the
council should be prepared for the
United States not to take, a mandate
for Constantinople or any other part
Of Turkey.
This is interpreted not Is the .per-
sonal inclination Of the president
against the mandate. but as q pre-.
caution in case congress does not APP
prove Of a Turkish mandate.
The reported stand Of the president
has had the effect Of starting two
distinct movements with relation to
the Turkish problem. The first is TO-
place Constantineple under an inter-
national commission In which ali the
great powers would have q voice.
Should this not prove acceptable tho
second plan will be put forward;
This plan Is based on the 4ssump-
tion that II the rivalries among the
great powers Of Europe make It In

LIFE OF MODERN GUN
IS SHORT AT The BEST

The life of u gun depends upon the
progress of erosion, which sooner or
later is certain to impair the accuracy
of fire. Erosion Is caused by the action
of the explosive gases at high tempera-
ture and pressure. The hot gases cause
a hin film of steel to absorb heat. The
film expands and becomes set. Upon
the release of the pressure 1t contracts,
which action cause minute cracks that
grow larger with every discharge. AS
they increase in size they form passage
ways for more hot gas, and tina tends
to enlarge them still further. The in
ner surface thus becomes r~oughened
and the bands begin to corrode.
Finally the bore becomes so enlarged
that 1t allows the gases to escape. The
shell does not then acquire Its proper
rotation, and its flight becomes erratic,
All guns except small ones are now con-
structed with Innings in the tube, which,
when the bore is worn out, are removed
and replaced by new ones. The cost
of refining a gun is approximately 80
per cent of the cost of the gun. There
appears to be no limit to the number of
times that a gun can be refined.
The small arms used by the United
States army are considered to be worn
out after 5000 to $500 rounds have been
fired. Small naval guns can be fired
about 1000 times before they are re-
garded as worn out. Large 12-inch and
14-inch naval guns are considered to
have a life, on n lining, of from $50
to 200 rounds. Low velocity guns, such
as howitzers and mortars, have CORE
s~pondingly longer lives than high We
locity guns of the same cabiler, because
of the pressures they develop, and hence
the lower temperatures.

NITTI ADVISES ITALIANS
TO WORK TO Limit

ROME. oct, 9,-premler Nitti In an
open letter has just done some plain
speaking to the italian nation, The
moral Of II ls; Work more, consume
less or we shall be ruined" Nobody
had any idea things were so bad.
Nitti has hit straight from the shout
der, Here Is a sentence; Most Ital-
ians, even the best educated, ignore
the fact that they are eating bread
they have not grown; meat from a beast
fed In American pastures and which
they cannot pay for except by insur-
ring new debts, They are paying for
neither the goods nor the ships that
transport these goods"
To drive this hard fact home the
nremier explains that "the food for 49,
OOo, 1000 out Of a population Of 3S, 900, 900
comes from abroad, chiefly from the
United States, A large proportion of the
people Is living on credit. II Is now
nigh time for us to turn over "a new
leaf"
Nittl criticIzes the public who in many
districts refuse to eat frozen meat,
though such meat is eaten by nations
far richer than we are"
While pointing out the dangers of
credit, dear food and laziness, the pre-
nter shows the way to a better state Of
things. work. he says. Have done
with your strikes, for everybody who
talks Of revoluotion in Italy Is an ene-
my Of the people and a poisoner, italy
must maintain internal order at all
costs. It Is the condition on which we
live"
He tells the nation frankly that
America cannot go on financing ,Eu-
rope forever, that Americans will not
furnish credit to Italy unless the coun-
try r~eorganizes Its home affairs.

LARGEST OPAL Of
WORLD IS FOUND
IN UNITED STATES
FlaWIeSS Gem Weighing
Nearly Seventeen Ounces Is
Sent to Department Of In
terror as Show Relic.

WASHINGTON, Oct. s.-America wins
the palm for the largest uncut gem
ever discovered. according to informa-
ton given The Sun today. A giant
black opal, flawless, devoid of any dim
ming matrix and weighing, according
TO the balances in the office Of the
essayer of the treasury department,
1875 Troy ounces with a tiny fraction
to spare, has been exhibited to a select
few in the office of Secretary Of the
Interior Lane.
In color the new gem is a COM
mingled glow Of translucent greens n
blues, very deep in tint and is shot
with flames Of red. Roughly estimated
the mass Of the stone is 81 cubic
inches. Its weight in casats is 2,572.S 3
in grains S,l36, No determination has
yet been reached as to its intrinsic
value.

Niennese opal discovered II Northern
Hungary in 1770. That gem, not flaw.

Appropriated two-thiros the size of the
American find, The Viennese opal
weighs 1898 Troy ounces, or 1885, 1927
carats, which translated into grains Is
stone is roughly 10 cubic inches.
The value Of the Niennese stone,
which in view of the fact that It has
flaws not possessed by the world beat
ing American gem, gives some slight
idea Of the value of its successor In
900. 1t never has changed hands at
that price, but that Is the value at
which it is held by its possessors who
have refused successfully offers of
$125,0O and $l75, 900 for it.
The. shape and apparent size of the
American stone is like a quarter of a
brick. Its length is 3 1915 inches, is
/ 3-16 inches. The Viennese stone,
which Is wedge shaped, is Az inches
long, az inches wide and its thick
ness varies from 3 inches to Il inch.
The new stone is at present held by
it's possessors to be worth $3.50, 900;
at least that Is what they have hoped
it might bring in the gem market, 1t
was discovered more than W. years
ago but the discovery was not an
nounoed for the reason that in the
emergency of war 1t was felt that the
time was neither ripe nor seemly for
the introduction OF such a stupendous
luxury to the gem buyers and gem
wearers of the world.
The irridescence of the new gem was
its remarkable feature, according to
the fortunate ones admitted to Score.
tarv Lanes private view, For half an
hour the group sat spellbound as they
watched the play of the fiery orange
red flares through the mellow emerald
and sapphire tones of the stone itself.
The colors seemingly tremble In the
light, ever moving throughout the mass
of the gem. There are no dull spots.
The flashes are everywhere and contin-
uous.
