the gun which bears the first and heaviest
strain of the explosion. AS the pressure
lessons, the thickness of the gun is dim
inished, the thickness at the breech and

.of the gun in separate cylinders lessons
the danger of flaws and facilitates the
uniform cooling so important to the
Fstrength of castings.

/ Dor detences weighs twenty five tons, is
twenty -one feet long from cascabel to

and it's charge is thirty five pounds of
powder. Its range is said to be over

Mrs. Admiral Dahlgren, who is daughter
of Mr.. vinton, prominent Ohio Congress
man il his day, has quietly organised an
sAntE Siaeehth Amendment Society, which
will soon present memorial to Congress
against female suffrage. 1t is said that this
manifesto has been signed by, Mrs. General
Sherman, Mrs, James Brooks, Mrs. Dent,
Mrs. Creswell and other ladies of high posi-
ton here, The memorial, which is couched
instroRg terms, expresses the alarm which its
signers feel At the proposed Sixteenth Amend
ment and their belief that the agitation waged
by small minority of their sex must prove
in every sense injurious to their truest inter-
est. 1t urges that the proposed reform is
contrary to the spirit of the Scriptural teach
ngs of the relation of the sexes; that the me-
morialists love their husbands, and are more
respected by them than they would be if they
voted; that the history Of ancient Sparta
proves the demorslizing effect of giving polit-
ical power to woman.
