STRENGTH OF Gun METAL.--"We were
never so powerfully impressed says The
Liverpool Albion, "with the improvements
in the manufacture of gun-metal as during
recent visit to the Mersey Steel and Iron
Works, where We witnessed various at
tempts to bnrst a twO-pouuder gun. The
experiments took place In chamber exca.
vatoa in the sandstone rock, covered over
with loose sheets Of iron. Of course. made q
considerable rattle wheI each explosion
took place. The gun in question, which is
five feet two inches in the bore, and weighs
some where about four HUNDRED pounds, af-
ter being charged with one pound of powder,
was filed to the mnzzie with one pound
balls, aud fired by means OF a string. When
che smoke had cleared sway, it was found
that the gun was all right and that so great
had been the force of tb4 explosion that
many Of the shot were shattered. and others
deeply buried in the rock. The gun was
again charged. and filed with balls. aud
cylinder. or round bar of iron, which pro-
jected from the moaih. l. was then fred
with equally satisfactory results The next
trial was with one aud half pounds of
powder and three cylinders, weighing 76
pounds altogether. This is test which few
guns are calculated to withstand; but
though the noise OF the explosion was very
great. the metal of the gun was so tough
that it remained uninjured. The weight of
the metal was afterwards gradually in
creased to nearly ninety pounds, with
safety.

COURAGE or THE WALggs.-The walrus
ia an obstinate animal, and Goes not fy on
the approach Of man; on tbe contrary.
forming themselves into a body they 90
and meet him, and resist any attempt on his
part to proceed. When a company of trav-
elers meet these animals on the shore. they
are forced TO Sight their way through them;
and If the walrnses are peiied with stones,
they gpaw them with their teeth, but after.
wards attack the men with redOubled fury,
rending the Gir with the most tremendous
growing These animals seem to be fully
aware OF the effect of united resistance and
attack, and also of the utility of keeping ia
masses and ranks; for should any one of
them attempt to retreat. those in his rear
fail upon and compel him to keep in the
ranks or kill him. Sometimes it happens
that. when one walrus attempts to stop
another, who is retreating. they all begin to
suspect each other of being Inclined to fly !;
and, in that case, the contest often becomes
universal. When two are fighting with one,
the others come to the aid of the weaker
side. While they are thus fighting on the
land, others that are in the water raise
their heads and look on for time, till they
also become enraged, swim to shore, aud
Join in the combat.
