Evading a Calamity.
The new clergyman had a stock phraso
which ha used unrelentingly on the sinners
of his new pastorate.
"My dear man," he would say , as he ap
proached a brother who waa deliberately
breaking the moral code, "I fear the devil
has a mortgage on your soul, and unless
you mend your ways he'll surely fore
close." After service on Sabbath an elder called
the pastor aside and expressed himself as
being grateful that he had the courage to
rebuke the wicked men of the city.
"But, doctor," continued the elder meekly,
"when you encounter old man Wilson will

KEEP OF BIG GUNS COSTLY
Good for Ono Hundred hafa Earl
at aa Ksnenso of One Then
sand Dollars.
"When a Mg gun is mad It becomes t
perpetual charge on the expense acconnl
of the government." remarked the Inspec
tor of naval ordnance. "It costs a lot U
make It, too, to try it when It Is mountet
snd Its extreme limit of life Is 100 shots.
The largest guns we nmke now are twelve
Inch. They are from forty to fifty fee'
long and the weight of the gun will ceu
It to droop and In a few years render II
useless. It has to be sent back to tin
ordnance yard nt Intervals to have 111
rifling 'trued tip."
"Even the toughest steel with tha high
est elastic limit and greatest . tenallt
strength will bend under Its own weight
If you support a bar of steel even a fw
Inches long nt both end for n long timi
It will curve down In the center to A de
gree that can not Indeed be detected with
out the nld of precise Instruments, but H
will toko a perniHiienl set, and n gun doei
the same thing In u greater measure. '
"When we try n gun at tnV Indlin H'sd
proving grounds near Annapolis. Md., lh
avmor mnkers furnish the piste, the gun
maker the gun, the shcllmakera the pro
jectile mul the government the. powder.
The IoIhI coat of n shot la approximately
11, OiiO, and we usually fire three shots it
different dltiices. "
"The shell ia rasc-hnrdenrd nt Its point '
and now carries a charge i f oleag riouj
graphite In Its nose, which hrenks nt th
moment of Impart and oils the hole In t lie
armor. The patent on that prnphlte :chou
cost the government .V).nno. The shell sim
ply bores Its wsy through the armor ant
Its progress Is aided materially by .'he
graphite. The navy exacts armor that can't
be pierced and shells that will go through
anything, so we have about arrived at the
paradox of an Irresistible force meeting an
impenetrable body.
"As a result the few makers of this hleh
quality of steel are now iible to furnish
from the plants constructed under the
fostering care of the government a much
higher grado of steel to the trndo tlnn
ever before. The tensile strength and the
rlastlc limit of steel have been raised in
the general market from 60,000 pounds a
square Inch to 275,000 for one and from
45.000 to 1S5.000 pounds a square Inch for
the other within a few years, and thlli Is
an indirect result of the government's ex
actions. "It's seldom a gun Is fired after It Is
mounted. Gun pointers are used for drill
and once or twice a year the gun i usej
for actual target practice and. fired once
or possibly twice. But it Is too expensive
a machine to use for practice when there
are exact way of testing the range anil
accuracy of trlangulatinn and the knowrt
qualities of the powder and other factors
that apply to it and which are preserved
from the first test." Washington Times.
