THE
Blue Moon
is a serial which differs in al
most every important particu
lar from the fiction of the day.
The locality, plot, characters
and manner of treatment, all
are unusual. A new but im
portant arrival among the lit
erary lights of Indiana,
David
Anderson
the author, is well equipped to
adorn the eminent group
which in the past has num
bered James Whitcomb Riley,
Lew Wallace, JIaurice Thomp
son and so many'others, and
today contains such distin
guished representatives as
Booth Tarkington and Mere
dith Nicholson. "The Blue
Moon" is an odd title for a be
wilderingiy strange, yet en
chantingiy delightful romance,
with characters, scenes and in
cidents such as one would like
to meet oftener in books.
Will Soon Appear in This
Paper.
Watch for It!

Effect of Drinks at Meals.
Drs. It. J. Miller, O. Hergeim, M. E.
Relifuss and I'. I>. Hawk of Philadel
phia have been testing the effect of
water, tea, coffee and cocoa on the di
gestion of meals of mixed foods. They
report to the American Journal of
Physiology (Baltimore) that one litre
of cold water, tea either hot or cold,
or hot coffee drunk with a meal does
not delay the passage of the food from
the stomach, but the addition of sugar
to the coffee does slightly delay the
process. * Cocoa markedly delays It.
Coffee, tea and water seem also to
stimulate gastric secretion, but cocoa
delays It, and coffee with sugar and
cream has less effect.

WAS PATCHWORK
| Giant Gun Used for Long-Dis
tance Shelling of Paris No
New Invention.
MJBE FROM WORNOUT GUNS
Was 122 Feet Long, Weighed 318,000
"ounds and Threw Projectile
Weighing 264 Pounds a Dis
tance of 75 Miles.
raris. — The super-cannon with
which the Germans began shelling
I'aris, March 23, 191S, was just pieces
I of old, wornout guns put together, in
stead of a startling new invention, ac
cording to American army ofllcers,
who were permitted recently hy the
Germans to visit some of their huge
armories.
It was actually just a neat bit of
patchwork that startled the world
when the terrific explosions began det
onating in the streets of the city of
I'aris, although the verdict at that time
was unanimous that the Germans had
invented a marvelous new cannon.
Naval Gun Was Foundation.
To begin ou the super-cannon, the
Germa is took a wornout 15-inch naval
gun, 50 feet In length. It was bored
out and a very heavy tube with an In
side diameter of 8.3 inches was Insert
ed, with about 40 feet of it projecting
beyond the end of the original gmr.
Over that another hoop was shrunk
and locked to the forward hoop. There
also was a patch of 19.7 feet, which
i was attached at the muzzle of the
gun.
The bore of the gun was treated to
a uniform rilling, the lanes and
grooves which Impart a rotary motion
to the projectile. The six-meter sec
tion of the gun at the muzzle, how
evor, was unrliletl, probably designed
to steady the projectile and defeat its
slight tendency to "tumble" or yaw
and fall to travel directly to its mark.
Such "tumbling" Is caused by the con
flict of two forces, one spinning the
projectile to the right, the other senrf
ing It forward. Such a force had to be
obviated as the shell had to travel up
ward 24 miles on its arc in order to
cover the horizontal distance of 75
miles*.
Clever Expedient to Kroiong i_ire.
The life of the giant pun, which was
318,000 pounds in weight anil 122 feet
ions, under the heavy pressure of its
high velocity projectilc was very lim
ited. But when the Germans found
the spun of the gun amounted to only
50 pounds they hit upon n clever ex
pedient. They bored out ihe 21-centi
iueter tube; which was very thick, to
24 centimeters, and later to 20 centime
ters, giving It just so much more life
at each calilier, with only a change to
larger ammunition required. The shell
hurled by the cannbn weighed 204
pounds and was 19 incites in length.
COLLISION BRINGS NEW STAR
Explanation of Recent Phenomenon Is
Given by Prof. Charles C. Conroy
of Los Angeles.
Vallejo, Cal.—The new star in th<
constellation C.vgnus, lately reported
through Harvard observatory, was
produced by a collision in the heav
ens between a large comet and a com
paratively dim sun.
This Is the Information given out by
Capt. Thomas J. J. See of the naval
observatory at Mare island, from Prof
Charles C. Conroy of Los Angeles.
"The star forms a corner of the par
allelogram of Alpha, Gamma and Del
ta Cygni, Captain See said he had been
advised. At present it is of the sec
ond magnitude and the magnitude may
be expected to increase far several
days, but will die down In the course
of a few months, he reported.
Industry is never wholly unfruitful.
If it bring no joy with the Incoming
profit, It will yet banish mischief from
thy busied gates. There is a kind of
good angei waiting diligence; that ever
carries a laurel in her hand to crown
her. Fortune, they said of all, should
not be prayed unto, but with the hands
in motion. The bosomed fist beckons
the approach of poverty, and leares
besides the noble head unguarded; but
the lifted nrm does frighten want, and
Is ever a shield to that noble director,
now unworthy was that roan of the
world that never did aright, but only
lived and died.—Feltbam.
