The guns a^e so mounted they may be hauled from one side, of the isthmus to the other, set up, and made ready for firing within six hours. Heretofore the 14-inch guns at the cahal have •not been movable. Precision of Rifle. Outranging the longest 16-inch battleship guns in the world by six miles, the new railway gun fires with the precision of a rifle. In recent practice out of 11 shots fired the battery scored a hit on the forward turret of a moving target the size of the battleship California 23 miles away. A development of the 1920 army gun and the old navy 14-inch railway gun that was. used in France during the World war, the new piece of artillery weighs 730,000 pounds with carriage, has a maximum range of 47,000 yards with an Initial velocity of 3,000 feet a second, and a maximum elevation of 50 degrees, as compared with about 27 degrees in the old gun. The new gun traverses without moving its carriage,"Whereas the old pieced had to be mounted on a curved track and-swung around to change direction. Each Shot Costs $700. Iffsing a projectile weighing 1,200 pounds, it costs $700 every time one of these giants is fired. Built in the carriage is a power plant, consisting of a 125-horse power engine directly coupled to a 50-kilowatt generator, which furnishes power for motors that raise and lower'the mount, operate power and shot cranes, elevate and depress the gun. turn the mount around on its liase, and furnish air for closing the breech and for blowing out bases after firing. Because of its heavy weight In traveling the gun and locomotive must be separated by three to eight gondola cars to prevent the tW heaviest weights crossing a bridge at the same time.

' • _ So thought James Wellington, wandering printer, who walked into the composing room of the News-Globe here and walked out with a royal title and an estate. Wellington is the son of Armsley Augustus Wellington, who chose poverty and American freedom to the teachings of a private tutor in the castle of Wellington, Ireland. When James visited the office here, he learned his father had died last March at Shamrock, Texas. James Wellington, itinerant printer, had become Lord Nenagh, county of Tipperary, Ireland. Lord Wellington immediately set out for Tipperary to take possession of the original estate of the duke of Wellington, of whom he Is a direct descendant.

The Norwegians, striving to the utmost, cannot eke out a living from the soil. They Import much food. Nor can they depend, as does England, upon the exchange of the products of their factories for the products of other people's farms. Even the skies frown often Upon Norway. The west coast for a good part of the year is shrouded by a pall of mist, fog, and drizzle, with 200 days of rain out of the year. The annual i^Mnfall at Bergen is more than six reet. The country Is traversed by a great dorsal plateau standing stark and high above sea level. In these rocky, sterile soils, useful plant life will not take root. A great wall of mountains known as the Keel defines the Swedish frontier. Southernmost Norway is in the same latitude as northern Labrador, with northernmost Norway lying far within the Arctic circle. Norway is hardly more than a fringe, or shelf, washed by the Arctic and "the North Atlantic oceans and J deeply indented by salt water inland canals!, known as fjords. For the most part, agricQlture is limited to nooks and corners. Little farms cling to the base of mountains like shipwrecked sailors to a life raft. Sixty per cent of Norway's farms are less than five acres; 98 per cent are less than 25 acres. Norway seems to be one of naturers climatic mistakes. Too much daylight in summer, too little ip winter; too much worthless water here, too much Bteriie mountain there. But what the country may lack in quality Is more than offset by the quality of the people who Inhabit It. Norwegians are happier than the common run of mortals. They are essentially open-air country people, knowing nothing of the misery and abject poverty of city slums and tenements. They have learned to live comfortably with themselves, having a wealth of inner resources on which to draw. Th«y go down to the sea in ships and see the earth and the fullness thereof. Before them lies the panorama of mountains, glaciers, cloud racks floating through the lofty defiles of their fjords. They know the world, too, from the inside of books. They are a bookish people, prizing education. Illiterates are about as plentiful in Norway as horned toads on Boston common. When it comes to exchange of intelligence, Norway has more telephones than Spain or Poland, with populations from seven to ten times as great. Its Face and Character. Each country, like each human being on this planet; has a face and char-. aeter of ~tts own. <phile, another elongated mountainous coast country fronting the western sea, in a considerable area of its homeland is parched and rainless, while Norway is drenched with moisture. Greece and Italy suffer from too much sun, while Norway hasn't enough to go around. Greece, Albania, Portugal, Ksthonla, and Norway are the only European countries which grow no sugar beets--too much sun In the Mediterranean countries, too little In Norway. Contrast the loiterers basking In the winter's sunshine on the steps of the Piazza di Spagna, Rome, with the Norwegians clad in furs and oilskins adventuring over cold, ghiy, fog-covered waters. Italy and Norway from early antiquity bred a race of sea-rovers, adventurers, discoverers. Norway and Greece, looking seaward, present the appearance of once compact lands that have been shot to pieces by titanic, subterranean Explosions. Their deeply indented coasts are fringed and.tasseled with island groups. The sea is sown thick with fragments like celestial star dust in the Milky Way. The inlands of Greece furnish goats, currants, and material for poetic rhapsodizing. The Norwegian coast* is an, exaggerated southern Alaskan coast. Skip PQfs navigate big ships through Norwegian fjords just as they do through the deep-cut Alasfkan inner canals. Reverse Charges . * Simultaneous Discovery • Chloroform was discovered In 1831 by Leibig in Germany and Soubelran in France, and their reports were published almost simultaneously.

The fjords, whether the result of glacial erosion or faulting of the earth's crust, are of awsome beauty aqd of human utility.' by Gulf 8tre«m. The warm Atlantic drift from the Gulf stream supplies Norway with both climate and fish. But for this beneficence of nature, Norway would be a bleak and inhospitable waste and most of the Norwegians would be compelled to' emigrate or starve. Fish, following family tradition, crowd Into the shoal waters of the North sea to feed and breed. They're been doing it for thousands of years, and they'll probably keep on Just so long as this poor earth's pale history runs. They return like the swallows in the spring. Roughly speaking Norway has three strings to its fishing bow: cod, whale and herring; but the herring is king. Herring, because of their abundance, give rise to the greatest of the world's fisheries. They are as gregarious as the starlings which cluster by night in the tops of trees on Pennsylvania avenue, Washington. They run in immense schools, with some of their life cycle still shrouded In obscurity, although it Is probably as well known as that of any other important fish. Norwegian herring fisheries were famous before William the Conqueror. The Norwegian fish catch runs to about® one and three-quarter billion pounds^ -of which approximately one billion pounds are contributed by the herring tribe. The live herring is something of a traveler, but the dead herring goes farther. What one may call a "pickled-herripg-raw-cucumbersour- cream belt" Includes),a better part of eastern Germany, Poland, the three Baltic states, Finland and Russia. The Norwegian cod, unlike the herring, travels fteouthward rather than eastward. Cured codfish enjoys the entree to all classes of society in southern Europe, particularly In the Catholic countries where meatless days are prescribed. Some years ago, when Norway was trying out prohibition, a serious effort was made to exclude the importation of the more heady Spanish and Portuguese winesfrvThe Iber^ 14ns.naturally resented the affront to their delieious wines and threatened reprisals upon the Norwegian codfish. The anti-codfish campaign was too much for the Norwegians. They capitulated by throwing open their doors to Mediterranean wines. Development of Fisheries. Norwegian fisheries have developed from small beginnings, when little wooden boats put out a mile or two from the shore scrabbling for a meager catch of herring. Now great steel power boats make catches of 10,000 barrels of fish in a day. Once estimated by the pound, the catch Is now estimated by the ton. Norway has come largely to control the world's whaling industry, once a great American business, with Yankee ships sailing from New England ports. About the turn of the century it looked as if the whaling business the world over was doomed to early extinction. Defenseless monsters, the poor whales do not get an even break! Nature ironically dooms them by causing them to signal their own destruction, if whales were equipped to remain beneath the surface even as long as the modern submarine, they would be more than a match for the energetic Norwegians, with their big steel ships and long-range harpoon guns. / , Norway's annual production of whale oil rose from 19,000,00b"pounds in 1906 to 311,000,000 pounds in 1927. The Norwegian annual herring catch would load a solid train of steel gondola cars reaching from New York to Philadelphia, or, if converted to Norwegian cars, a solid train 300 miles long. It would require at least double these train lengths to handle the annual catch of whales. . The Norwegians are the northernmost and the southernmost workers of the world. Their operations cover a wider range than the flight of the Arctic tern. Annually 10,000 Norwegians work in Antarctic seas close up to the great Ice harrier. Just as many work in the Arctic seas on the outskirts of the polar cap. Norway's climatic eccentricities bear an Intimate relation to Norwegian agriculture. In Norway farming within the Arctic circle is by no means a desperate enterprise. As the snows retire, vegetation is quickened by long days of sunlight Even dairy farming prospers within the Arctic circle, despite the accepted notion that only reindeer thrive in these latitudes.
