Facts About Big Guns of the Navy
By Unit. Fiizhugh Green of the U. S. S. Teat
A 14-lnch gun Is built up from eight
or ten hoops or steel tubes. Each is
turned to an exact fit less several
thousandths of an Inch, then heated
red until expansion permits It to be
drawn on. It cools and adds strength
not only by Its thickness but by the
grip of Its shrinking.
The first or Inner tube has helical
grooves to give rotation to the shell
Just as In any sporting rifle. Tre
mendous firing pressures between IB
and 20 tons per square inch com
bined with acid gases und other prod
ucts of explosion cause erosion or
wearing away and pitting of the
grooves. Inner tubes must be re
newed periodically. The life of the
gun, so-called, Is about 150 shots. Since
frequent target practices are held few
years elapse before guns must be tak
en ashore and retubed. The total
cost of retublng a 14-Inch gun Is In
the neighborhood of $25,000.
Besides the Inner erosion constant
shocks of explosion crystallize the
whole steel structure. Crystallization
of metal may be likened to the drying
of cheese. At first the mass Is rela
tively tough and elastic. After the
heavy punishment of protracted firing
gun tubes weaken and become brittle.
Microscopic examination reveals con
traction and disintegration of metal
particles Just as cracks and crumbly
sections occur In n cheese. Further

An "Italian Sky."
Many poets have written rhapsodlei
In praise of the "deep blue sky," of
Italy. The blue Is deeper, not because
the dust then Is liner than In the
northern countries, hut because In the
countries of the North, due to the
grouter coolness of the air, the vapor
more reudlly condenses upou the dtllt
use of the gun Is dangerous. Some
times the crystallized state Is reached
ooner than is expected. The guns
crack or burst. On the Michigan 15
feet of a 12-lnch gun broke off and fell
on deck. On the next load the gun
captain, having opened the breech to
report "bore clear," shouted "There
ain't no bore I" Fortunately no one
was killed.
The charge of a 14-Inch gun is 385
pounds of smokeless powder put up In
four silk-linen bugs. The back end of
each bag Is painted red and contains
about four ounces of black powder
called the Ignition charge. A brass
primer similar to a rifle cartridge ex
cept It has no bullet, Ignites the black
powder which In turn sets fire to the
smokeless powder. Contrary to popu
lar belief there Is no real explosion
but a progressive burning of enormous
rapidity. Vast volumes of gas at high
temperature and pressure are pro
duced, forcing the projectile out.
A 14-Inch shell weighs 1,400 pounds,
Is five feet long, and contains a burst
ing charge. Twelve strong men lift
one with difficulty. Yet from the gun
it can sink a battleship 12 miles away.
It travels at the rate of 2,600 feet a
second or a mile every two seconds.
On striking It expends an energy of
65,087 foot-tons, or enough to trans
port a loud of two tons to twice the
height of Mt. Everest.
Even the old turkey gobbler Is ex
cited by red.
"Each color has Its own indlvldunl
characteristic. Red gives the Idea
of warmth and cheer, just as some per
sons have the faculty of making warm
friends. Iled, on the other hand, Is
likely to be Irritating unless It Is used
sparingly. The effect of a touch of red
In u room Is cheering, but a room
should not be papered In bright red.
"Blue denotes a different character
istic. It Is like the cool, sedate, dig
nified person. Blue retreats Instead of
advances. For this reason a small
room may be mude to look lurger If It
Is papered In blue. Because It Is a
cool color, Its use should be reserved
for rooms which are naturally cheery
und admit much sunlight. A north
room should not be pupered In blue."
Bees Are Supplied With
Two Sets of Eyes; One for
Near, Other for Far Sight
The eyes of an unlmnl cun only work
together when they enn be brought to
bear upon an object at the same time ;
so that, as u rule, the eyes of a fish
must work more or less Independently.
This Is sometimes ulso the cuse when
the eyes can co-operate, as unyone
who watches u plnlce or other flut fish
In nn nquiiiium will soon discover.
Many Insects possess more than two
eyes, which do not act together. A
leech, for example, hits ten eyes on the
top of Its head, which do not work In
concert, and a kind of murine worm
has two eyes on the head and a row
down each side of the body. Some liz
ards have nn extra eye on the top of
the head, which does not act with the
other two.
A bee or wasp has two large, com
pound eyes, which possibly help each
other, and are used for near vision,
and also three little simple eyes on the
top of the head, which are employed
for seeing things a long way off. So
that for close sight Inside the hive and
for far sight the bees will never need
spectacles.
Italian Museum Has Most
Valuable Book in World.
The Medico Laurentlan museum of
Florence, Italy, has in its possession
what Is said to be the most valuable
book In the world. This book Is called
the Codex Amlatlnus and Is pro
nounced by some scholars to be per
haps the oldest and by all odds the
best ancient Latin manuscript of the
Bible. The work lg believed to have
been copied from the translation by,
St. Jerome, which he made direct from
early Greek and Hebrew scripts. Its
origin Is placed In the ninth century,
und Is thought to have been the handi
work of English priests.
Only recently has the true character
of this book become known. For many
years it was owned by the Monte Aml
ati convent, without anyone being
aware of Its true value. Of course It
was known to be of great antiquity,
and was highly prized on that account.
But It remained for Italian scholars
to discover Its real significance. The
work is now priceless. It can only be
examined by virtue of u special permit
from the highest Italian authority.

Stockman Who Haa Disease-Free Herd
li Aiaumlng Risk of Introducing
Disease When New Animal
li Purchased.
(By R. 8. HULCE and W. B. NEVKNS.)
During the past five years the feed
cost of raising a heifer to two years
of age has probably been about $60,
except where cheap pasture was avail
able. The total cost of raising Includes
also the Items of labor, housing and
miscellaneous expenses. In consider
ing the latter Items It is well to men
tion the fact that on the ordinary
farm the additional labor expense
which the raising of a few calves In
volves is not large. The" expense In
volved makes It apparent that unless
the animal Is from ancestry the fe
males of which are capable of pro
ducing product that will sell for more
than the expense of producing It, the
heifer should not be raised. On the
other hand, the stockman who has a
disease-free herd Is assuming a risk
of Introducing disease when a new ani
mal Is purchased. Considerations such
as these confront every owner of dairy
cattle.
The Importance of feeding the calf

LEAVES STORED FOR WINTER
Jersey Calf One Year Old.
The digestive capacity of the young
calf Is not suited to receive large
quantities of milk at a time, but Is
better adapted for receiving small
amounts often. A young calf fed milk
three times dally will thrive better
than If fed the same total amount In
two feeds, providing the milk Is always
fed In a uniform condition.
A general guide for using whole
milk Is to feed It at the rate of one
pound dally to each eight pounds of
live weight! rarely feeding more than
12 pounds per day. The length of the
time whole milk should be fed will de
pend quite largely on whether skim
milk Is available. If skim milk Is to
be had, It can be fed to good advan
tage at the rate of about 15 pounds
dally, Instead of 12, to calves of the
larger breeds. The use of factory skim
milk has several disadvantages as com
pared with fresh, farm-separated milk.
If the milk is pasteurized at the fac
tory, It may be too warm to feed when
It reaches the farm In the forenoon,
and at night It will need warming. In
summer there may be times when the
factory skim milk will sour during the
day, so that It Is difficult to keep the
milk In a uniform condition for calf
feeding. In the feeding of calves, sud
den changes either in quality or quan

They Are Easily and Quickly Gath
ered In Various Way Big Pieces
of Cloth Excellent.
(By M. A. COVERDELL.)
If farmers only understood the
many uses to which leaves could be
put, more of them would be stored.
Some may think It takes too much
time and labor, but they are easily
and quickly gathered In various ways.
One good plan Is to have cheap bar
rels handy, fill them with leaves, and
set them away where rain or snow will
not reach them.
Another method by which the stor
age of leaves may be accomplished is
that of using common gunny or bur
lap sacks. These, also, may be stored
away without emptying the sacks, and
they will be In convenient shape to
use a few at a time during the winter.
If one has only a small number of
sacks, the leaves may be carried and
emptied from the sacks Into some out
building not In use; but where one
desires to store a considerable quan
tity, we find that bed-sheets, or simi
lar pieces of cloth, are excellent for
the purpose.
Simply spread them on the ground ;
rake up the leaves with a common
garden-rake and pile them on the
sheet; catch hold of each of the four
corners and draw them together.
A large quantity can be carried In
this manner, and when It is desired to
empty the sheet, let go of one corner
and allow the leaves to roll out.

CLOVER CROP PLOWED UNDER
Humus May Be Largely Saved by
Plowing Under In Fall Nitrogen
Alio Is Conserved.
Clover cut and allowed to remain
on the surface of the ground for seven
months from fall to spring loses about
the same amount of organic matter as
when fed to live stock, according to
recent experiments at the Ohio experi
ment station. This amount of humus
may be largely saved by plowing the
crop under In the fall.
0. E. Boltz, assistant chemist, In a
discussion In the station's monthly
bulletin, says that only about one
third of the clover remained In the
spring when the crop was left on the
Surface. When It was plowed under,
about three-fourths of the original
weight was found In the spring.
From analyses of the drainage wa
ter It was found that four times as
much nitrogen was lost from the plot
with clover lying on the surface as
from that having clover Incorporated
