SPEED OF PROJECTILES.
Haw the Velooity of Cannon Balls and
Bullets Is Measured.
How tet loes a bullet travel? The
highest velocity ever given to a cannon
bull Is 1,620 feet per second. This Is
equal to a mile in little more than
three seconds, or nearly twenty miles
a minute. '
A rifle bullet does not travel so fast
as a cannon ball, the average rate be
ing 1,275 feet per second. This mat
ter of speed is tested In a very inter
esting way.
A long wooden shed is used, In which
a distance of exactly 100 feet has been
carefully marked off. At each end of
this space is a stand something like a
target with a large circular opening
where the bullseye should be. Across
each opening Is stretched a small elec
tric wire, connected with a delicate
Instrument In another room.
The rifle from which the firing Is
done 1 o aimed that the bullet which
flies from It cuts both wires. Obvious
ly the difference In time between the
cutting of the two wires marks the
speed of the bullet through that 100
feet.
When the first wire is cut an electric
current is broken and a rod falls, mov
ing a pointer on a slide in its descent
The breaking of the second wire acts
In the same manner on another set of
rods, slides and pointers.
The difference in the marks made by
the pointers on the slides makes it pos
sible to estimate the difference In their
time of falling, and from these calcu
lations accurate figures as to speed are
obtained. London Answers.

SEEKING HAPPINESS.
Little Things That Make Living a Joy
Are Not Always Appreciated.
We are told that happiness comes by
pieces and that it is these small bits
linked together that make our lives
worth while. Some of us are not con
tent to take our happiness by degrees
or at Intervals. We want it all the
time in big pieces, and if we cannot
have it that way we think that we are
deprived of our natural rights and look
upon ourselves as Injured beings.
It Is a rather singular expression of
human nature how happiness affects
the individual. With some of us it
makes us friendlier toward others and
anxious that they should experience
like joys; with others it makes us too
satisfied with ourselves to think very
much of our neighbors.
Perhaps those of us who know what
the joy of living means have experi
enced both of these attitudes at dif
ferent periods of our lives and are in
position, therefore, to appreciate a
varying viewpoint, but even so It Is
only after we lose something of that
joy of living and have found out for
ourselves that there are shadows which
no amount of sunlight can disperse
that we can readily appreciate the
blessing of whatever hupplness may
tlnd Its way Into our lives.
The little things that count so much
in our intercourse with euch other are
not always regarded as highly as they
should be, and for this reason we pass
by much that would give us Joy If we
only knew how and where to find It

. Gardens In the Ice.
A glacier when It dislodges Itself and
sails away over the Arctic ocean never
travels alone. In the wake of every
large one floats a Hue of similar com
panions. The Eskimos call this phe
nomenon "the duck and ducklings,"
and any one who has watched the
progress of the wild duck followed by
her brood will appreciate the aptitude
of the name. Strange as it may seem,
plants grow and blossom upon these
great Ice mountains. When a glacier
is at rest moss attaches itself to it,
protecting the ice beneath, just as
sawdust does. After a time the moss
decays and forms a soil, in which the
seeds of buttercups and dandelions,
brought by the wind, take root and
flourish.

MAXIM'S MACHINE GUN.
A Terrible Engine of Death Which
Works Automatically.
Early in life Hiram Maxim showed
himself u murvelous geuius as an in
veutor. An incident of his boyhood, in
which the recoil of a rifle attracted his
attention to uu apparent loss of pow-
er, led him iu 1881-2 to utilize the force
of the recoil to good account In a gun
which loads Itself automatically and
fires at the rate of 770 shots a minute
by the power of the previously wasted
force.
The Maxim machine gun Is un en
glue of terrible destruction. This gun
has only a single barrel, which, when
the shot is fired, recoils the distance of
three-quarters of an inch on the other
parts of the gun. This recoil sets inov
ing the machinery which automatical
ly keeps up u continuous fire at the ex-
traordlnary rate of twelve rounds a
second.
Each recoil of the barrel has there-
fore to perform the necessary fuuetions
of extracting and ejecting the empty
cartridge, of bringing up the next full
one and placing it iu its proper post
tloii in the barrel, of cocking the ham
mer and pulling the trigger.
As long as the filing continues these
functions are repeated round after
round in rapid succession. The barrel
Is provided with a water jacket to pre
vent excessive heating. Philadelphia

Professional Pawners.
In many of the mean streets of Lon
don there are professional pawners
women, well known to the pawnbro
kers, who for small payments take
clothes and household goods to pawn
iur lueir iiuiguuurs. it is siuieu mat
the function of the professional pawn
er Is twofold. The woman who pawns
through a recognized intermediary gets
a larger loan than she would if she did
the business herself. For the pawn
broker the professional pawner guar
antees the good faith of the owner and
will be able to exercise pressure in
case of default London Express.
It Was a Fine Cod.
The artist William M. Chase once
hired a fish, painted a picture of It in
two hours and afterward sold it to the
Corcoran Art gallery at Washington
for $2,000. Mr. Chase afterward in
formed the fish dealer who had rented
him the fish of the price he had receiv
ed for the picture. "Well," comment
ed the fishmonger, "It was a fine cod."
Philadelphia Record.
The Maid's Reply.
As William bent over her fair face
be whispered:
Darling, if I should ask you in
French If I might kiss you what would
you answer?"
She, calling up her scanty knowledge
of the French language, exclaimed.
Billet doux!" Exchange.

stayed out so late last night?"

Oil Displaces Coal
Owing to the great output of petro
leum in California and its use as a
manufacturing, railroad, and steamer
fuel, the production of coal in Wash
ington has been considerably reduced
during recent years. It is estimated
that the consumption of California oil
for fuel on the Pacific Coast is equiva.
lent to about 21,000,000 tons of coal,
or between 6 and 7 times the output of
coal in Washington, or for that mat
ter in all the Pacific Coast States
combined, in 1914,

GOING ROUND THE WORLD.
The Gain or Loss of One Whole Day In
Making the Trip.
In sailing around the world eastward
the days are each a little less than
twenty-four hours, according to the
speed of the ship, us the sun Is met a
little earlier every morning. These lit
tle difference's added together will
amount" to twentj-Wtir "hours.' ' Tills
gives the sailors an extra day not in
Imagination, but as an actual fact
They will have done un extra day's
work, eaten an extra day's ration ol
food and enjoyed an extra night's
sleep.
On the other hand. In sailing wesi
ward the sun Is overtaken a little each
day, and so each day is rather longet
than twenty-four hours, and clocks and
watches are found to be too fust This
also will amount in sailing around the
world to the point of departure to one
whole day by which the reckoning baa
fallen In arrears. The eastern bound
ship, then, has gained a day, and the
western bound ship has last one.
This strange fact, clearly worked out
leads to the apparent paradox that the
first named ship has a gain of two
whole days over the latter, If we sup
pose them to have depurted from port
and returned together. Westnilnstei
Gazette.
Official National Anthem.
Do you know the official national an
them, which is supposed to bring the
patriot to his feet?
No doubt you think you do, even, as
has been proved again and again, when
more than two or three Americans are
gathered together, that no one knows
more than a phrase or two of the
words, but do you rise for "Hull Co
lumbia," "My Country, 'TIs of Thee,"
or the "Star Spangled Bunuer?"
Of course I hear the army and navy
folk, f a iu 1 1 la r with regulations, say
"Star Spangled Banner;" but, judging
from the actions of audiences at vaude
ville and movie shows recently, with
most It Is a tossup between all three,
with the odds favoring evenly "Hall
Columbia" and "My Country." Which
one Is it, do you really know? Phila
delphia Ledger.
Big Words and Big Speakers.
Perhaiw it would be a good thing,
writes a correspondent, if some one
were to compile a fairly comprehensive
list, with their meanings, of the big
words which great speukers affect. The
ordinary man who attends a public
meeting cannot even grasp "Idiosyn
crasy," let alone sucb words as "pro
tagonlstlc," "cohesive," "adumbrate,"
"synthetic," which ure common or gar
den specimens of the orator's vocabu
lary. But why should he use them at
all? Muuy great men who use quite
homely diction In prlvute life seem to
see the necessity of "doing it" on an
audience with strunge words culled
from the lute Sir Jans Murray's won
derful dictionary. Loudon Chronicle.
BraveTvfem
Terslans in general are not supposed
to be the bravest people in the world,
but even In Persia the inhabitants of
Kushun, a mercantile city, are notori
ous for their lack of a warlike spirit.
Their pusillanimity has passed into a
proverb and given rise to many stories.
One of the best of these is that when
Nadir Shah disbanded his army on its
return from India the 30,000 men be
longing to Knshan and its sister city
of Ispahan applied for an escort of 100
musketeers to see them safely home.
