A visit to the big steel works at Sonth
B«-thleheui. Northampton county, j
where they make armor plate and can
non for coast defense, is calculated to
give a man some ideas of the enormous ;
I expense of war. 1 accompanied the
Appropriation Committee to the Lehigh ;
University recently, and after inspect t
ing that elegant institution, founded by ;
the late Judge Packer, we were shown v
through the steel works. It i 3 an 1m- f
mense establishment, employing 4.000 (
men, and it is here that most of the J t
large cannon and armor plate fur coast t
defense and for the United States Navy (
are made. t* saw them forging
armor plate and M casting a cannon.
They make guns there weighing eighty I
ions*, and are preparing to make one ]
| hundred ton guns. These enormous f
j engines of war are made of the best of
, <teel. They are not cast in one piece. 1
j but in several, one steel case being 1
: shrunk onto another until the desired ,
! thickness and strength is obtained. | (
I Thev are then bored out and rifled with
|as much care and accuracy as the finest 1
' shot gun. An ordinary 12-inch bore i
' gun for coast defense is fort}" six feet ,
I long, and weighs sixty tons. There (
j were a hundred or more altout the
■ works, some completed and others in 1
i course of construction. These guns f
cost the Government at the rate of *l.- (
000 a ton. A sixty ton gun is worth
$60,000 when completed and so on. The
life of some of thes*- big gnns is short j
too. When in active service it will not
stand more than one hundred shot*
Every shot fired from one of the largest I
guns costs about S2OO. A sixty ton gun i
will project a hall accurately and hit a j
mark eight miles distant. The largest
guns will throw a ball fifteen miles.
War is mighty expensive but we must ]
have it now and then. t

BOY + +
To discover the wear, or the wear out, to a pair of
shoes —that is, if he is a well boy. The shoe bills for
sick boys are not very large. If your boy is one of
the healthy kind he contributes largely to your shoe
bill. Now then, you want to keep him healthy, and
you want to cut down the bill; and that's where we
come in. The boy don't come in until he has to.
You a ve heard of shoes that " wear like iron."
We have them. The price is no higher than you
have been paying, but it takes the boy half as long
again to wear them out. Sometimes he gets dis
couraged in his efforts to get a hole through the toes
when riding "belly whopper" on a bob sled, or
kicking the bark off a tree, but HE has to stand it,
and the shoes don't care. Bring him in and let us
fit him with a pair of our
"BOY RESISTERS."
