NATIONAL FORESTS. It does not scorn to be generally known that the term "Forest Re serves" is no longer 'lcnal or ofltcml. ti,; nnm was chanced, by Act of March 4. 190T. to 'National Pas " tn indicate that these re nnu vm not locked un as "re- acrves" for tho distant future, but vara tn he administered for the greai- I turns of the European nations that has taken place within the last year should be conducive to foreign investments. H is now possible for us to acquire on adv.tntageoii terms the ownership or cor.trol of railroads or public utilities and industrial enterprises which hith erto have looked to England and lo the continent for their financial sup port. 'Investment a can thus be se. cured which will give not only profit able employment to American capital, but will in' turn powerfully stimulate . ! interest in the products of our in dustries. The way nns necn cicarea for the progressive development of our trade witn iatm-America upon a sounder and more secure basis than ever before. The need for better ma- for the financing of foreign i would be idle. It forms a back log in good years and lean and acts as a stabilizer to the more important domestic trade. Co-operative foreign effort would keep our factories run ning at 100 per cent of capacity." iTHE WHIP IN RIFLE BARRELS. ..ct irnnH of the c-reatest number now The first allotment of national for- j JT est money made investment promises to be met in an inirton in 1.H6. after the passage ot ' j . ,.,. the act which gave the states a share, probablv more capital avail- of the national fores, revenue.

The uo of hUth power powder In ri Ees h:is given rise to a phenomenon nhkh did Dot exit In black powder days. This Is known as "whip" mid is due to the pressure and vibration set up by the powder. It is coustant with given loads and Is always In tho same lirectlon. Sights are aligued by the manufac turer to compensate for this whip in proportion to the powder charge used. In firing auxiliary cartridges It will of ten be found that the rifle shoots off center. As a matter of fact the bullet from the auxiliary Is traveling in a true line with the bore, and It is the sights that are wrong. The lighter charge of the auxiliary does not pro duce the usual whip, with the result that the line in prolongation of the bore of the ride aloug which the bullet travels is not the line given by the alignment of the sights. Two other ride terms that must not be confused sre upsettage and key hol ing. Keyboling is the tendency of the bullet to turn over in aight. while up settage is the slight shortening of the major axis of the bullet due to the force of the charge. It was peculiar to black powder fired behind lead bullets and does not exist to any appreciable co-operative agreement between the i fedtral government i.nd the state of "Washington. The man who puts the alarm clock on a chair near the bedside where he can turn it off in the morning and go to sleep again is not in control of himself. . ' I.Ml.l.'ll. r- Mill .
