A Word About Shot,
Why asks the Philadelphia Public
Ledger, are lead shot made by drop-
ping the molten metal from the top of
a high tower? The popular suppo-
sition, it goes on to explain, is that
they acquire the requisite spherical
shape from falling from a great
height; but it is not so. The leaden
globules are as perfectly spherical
when they start from the top of the
tower as when they strike the water
in a well at the bottom. The stuff is
held at the top of the tower in a
large iron pan that has a perforated
bottom, and the metal drops that fall
through are the shot.
_ In falling they cool, hardening suffi-
ciently to suffer no deformation on
striking the water two hundred feet
below. This indeed, is the reason for
the tower—to give the leaden globules
time to cool while passing through the
air. The use of the water in the well
is to furnish a soft cushion for the
shot to fall on. Later the shot are
scooped out of the well and are put
through a series of sieves to sort them
into sizes.
Only 48,768 of the 107,444
deaths in the American army during
the war were due to injuries suffered
‘in battle. In the expeditionary forces
the total was 72,951. Of these 20,-
829 resulted from disease, 48,768
from injuries suffered in battle and
3,354 from all other causes. Deaths
from disease among the troops in the
United States totalled 32,737 and
from other causes 1,756, giving a to-
y tal for the troops in this country of
| 34,493.

Pompeo Molmenti, the historian, re-
lates that in the sixteenth century the
gentle manners of the Venetian peo-
ple were evident in every department
of daily life, even down to the gr- --
ings in the street. The very nobles in
i the Seicento, the period of greatest
hauteur, were wont to salute courte-
ously by raising their cap with the
left hand and laying the right on the
heart. The populace was always ob-
sequious, especially toward patri-
cians and foreigners, and to every
question addressed to them would
never answer brusquely, “Yes,” but
always, “At your service,” though

505, an increase of 5855 over the pre-
ceding week, while 19 reported a la-
bor shortage totaling 4650 and nine
showed an equality of supply and de-

Lydwina, and she sponsored skating i

home town was Schiedam, in Holland.
Her family name was ancient and hon-
orable, apd her father followed the
honorable profession of night watch-
man. Nevertheless, Thomas a Kempis,
among other notables, found her in-
teresting, for he met her and wrote the
details of her life for all to read. Lyd-
wina was fifteen when some boisterous
girl friends dragged her out against
her will to skate on the frozen canal.
No sooner had they started on their
holiday excursion than one of them
bumped into poor little Lydwina—and
jammed a perfectly good rib. That
put her out of the running for all time,
it seems, and as she lay on her couch
of pain she was comforted by strange
visions, and before her death in 1433,
it is claimed, wrought several miracles
through her piety.
