Ihe Grpat DruSSian Eun.

The following description of the great
Prusslan gun, IS from the memorandum
notes OF j. S. Bliss, which were made at
the Paris exposition of 1867, where the
wonderful piece OF ordinance was on exhi-
bition:
"The Fred Krupp'-cast-steel, eleven
hundred Founder, rifed, breech-loading
gun intended for arming the coast. 1t
consists of an inner tube, upon which is
shrunk cast-steel rings. The inner tube
forms the important part of the gun, and
weighs in its present condition twenty
tons, having been forged from massive
ingot of forty and one-fourth tons, and was
forged under fifty ton hammer.
Total weight ofgun, so tons.
Diameter, IA inches.
Length, 2lG inches.
Number of grooves, 40
Weight of solid shot. 1912 pounds.
Weight OF shell, 1850.
Charge Of powder, 100 to 100. a"
This gun has been in process of manu-
facture for sixteen months, day and night,
without interruption. The railroad pos
sessed no wagon, which was of sufficient
strength to carry the CUR hither, so the
establishment WAS compelled to construct
one for it, which is made of steel and iron,
and rests On twelve wheels.. Weight of
the wagon IS twenty-four tons. The turn
table, which is twenty-five tons, could not
be brought to the exposition. Price ofthe
gun is els, $50. Price, complete, Ell, $50,
or S162, $50, in American currency, (atthat

Common Road locomotives.

The British War DEPARTMENT has inves-
tlgated q recent invenJ on of locomotive
without rails, and it IS pronounced in off
clal reports far more useful than any horse.
The superintendent OF machinery saws he
has ''come to tho conclusion that the cues
ton OF steam actlon on common roads is
now completely lived; that the apple l.
ton OF the lndla-rubber tire is a perfect
success; that 1t opens up an entirely new
held, and that he looks upon this applica-
ton as discovery rather than an inyen-
ton. In the course OF experiments wit
messed by Mr.. Anderson, the engine went
up zlgzag 'Gbry nth of courts and it can
describe any figure a. most IN a space of
twice its length. The boiler employed is
an independent invention adapted , the
carriage. It's chief REGULARITY is the con-
per pot used for holding water within the
furnace, and 1t Is SO contriyed that if the
boiler contains any water the pot will
have a full supply. This arrangement
keeps the centre OF gravity low, and al
lows tho engine ID run up hills Of | in 10,
or go along an angle of So degrees. The
wheel end It's tire may be described as con-
slstmg OF q broad iron tire with narrow
Ranges, upon which is placed RING of
SOFT VuicanIZed India rGbber; this ring is
about twelve inches in width and five
inches IN thickness, which thus surrounds
the iron tire, and is kept in its place by
the Hangs; then over ihe India rubber
there IS placed Oh endless chain of steel
plates, which is the portion of the wheel
that comes in actual contact with the
rough road, the reticulatiag chain being
connected by q sort OF vertebra at each
side OF the wheel. The India rubber tire
and this ring OF steel plates have no rigid
connection, but are at perfect liberty to
move around as they please without con-
sulting each oth0r, or even without the
concurrence of the inner ring OF the wheel
which they both enclose.

The LOSSes OF oral Effect
OF Dead Ernncllmcn

Murat Halstead in his last letter SAYS:
'Half Il century after the battle of Water
loo there Is sharp controversy as to many
OF the incidents o. the combat, and Victor
Hugo raised q storm of discussion by the
introduction of his Waterloo chapter in
Les Miserables. 1t is not to be thought
amazing. therefore, If there are disputed
points about the battle OF Grayelotte. One
the things talked about is cavalry
charge ordered by Steinmetz. He is said
to have directed q reginl eDt or regiments
of lancers to charge sup tlle~P Pans road
where it passes the head of tho dismal
hollow or abrupt ravine behind Gravelotte
that have been trying to tell about. The
story goes that there were three thousand
Of them put il, and that but eleven hun
dred came out. This sounds hike large
proportion of d charging party to be des-
troyed, but there would be no occasion for
surprise II it should tura eutzthat the facts
were IS represented.
1.-The Prussians have been smart-as in
nearly all things in this war (the especial
exception is in railroad menagement) in
the matter of removing their dead. AS
rule, they clear the ground of their own
dead and wounded with surprising celerity,
and are not so enegetic in the disposition
thrown upon thoir hands. 1t would not
have an celebrating effect upon Prussian
troops to march in tho thoughtful mood
that comes after the excitement of bat
tie among their mutilated comrades and
IL IN parts to them lofty ideas Of their san
culinary power to have strewn along
their path immense numbers of dead
Frenchmen. Tho fact that the day after
the battta | WAS for Soma time n, +bo cpot
where the bloody cavalry charge is said to
have been made and that there were 10
dead or wounded Prassians there, does
not prove that the statement of the destruc-
tive charge is inaccurate. What I saw
would rather corroborat9 the story. The
road was in that place bloody, though
Il ere had been a rain that would have re-
mO' ed a light stain The beautiful road
side trees were skinned and splintered and
battered in m extraordinary way. That the
lead and iron hail of the battle storm
had been poured there with the almost
fury was plain. Then there were q num-
Der OF broken lances, some of them
snapped by shot, and in the gutter We're
pennops ald helmets. 1t is related that

had to retreat, and it If question whether
they did anything for the country other
than get killed ii her name, and pursuant

TALK.-Sir William Hamilton used to
say that man never knows anything until
he has taught it In some way; it may be
orally, or it may be by writing book.
There is deep wisdom in the remark,
which ell readers would do well to pom
der. 1t is equally true that many authors
have talked better than they have written.
How pithy and vivid-how much superic r
to his writings talk of Jefferson ! 1t
spoiled men for everything that was not
both weighty and smart. II has been
justly characterized as both gay and po-
tent-its playtulness resembling the rico
cheting of sixty-eight Founders, which
bound like India rubber balls
and yet batter down fortresses. Bril-
hantly as Byron wrote, who would not
have infinitely preferred to hear him talk ?
His more serious conversation. even Shell
ley said, was ''sort of intoxicatiop."
Then let Us talk. Philosophers tell us that
knowledge is not knowledge until we use
it-that it is not ours till we have brought
1t under the dominion of the great social
faculty, speech. Solitary reading will en-
able n man to stuff himself with iniorma-
ton; but, without conversation, his mind
Will become like pond without an outlet,
a mass OF unhealthy s.aSnatUre. Ii is not
enough to harvest knowledge by study
the wind Of talk must Wiunow it end blow
away the chaff; then will the clear, bright
grains OF wisdom be garnered, for our own
use Or that of others. Prot. Matheaos.
