A Rapid Descent.

Not the least interesting thing belong

ing down again. From five to ten min
utes brings you back, jumping and al
most flying as You come, over space
which it took you good hour and a

ing to witness descending party. They
sink into the gravelly ashes half way up
to the knees at every step. 1t is so soft
and homogeneous as to be entirely free
from danger, except to boots, shoes and
stockings, and the sense of exhilaration
one experiences is almost like falling
through the air. The whole surface of
the soil, if soil it may be called, moves
along with the person who is descend
ing, and not footprint is left behind
any more than if one were walking in
water. 1t is hardly more than grand

Washington Society.

The story is told of the wife of very
prominent United States Senator of
Washington, who gave many bril-
liant receptions last winter, and who
always asked the society reporter of the
newspapers to speak of her diamonds.
Her diamonds were nothing but the
Alaska diamonds bought in a dollar
jewelry store. The way the fact came
out was that the many allusions to Mrs.
Senator So-and-so's beautiful diamonds
led the dollar jewelry man to use it as
an advertisement with his other GUS
toners.
1t was told of another Senator's wife
that she is one of the best poker and
Boston players in the country. During
the session she entertalns lavishly, and
scarcely night passes that she doesn't
have a card party at her house. OF
course she always plays, and they say
she never loses. A certain foreign le-
gationist is said to have lost several
thousand dollars at her house in one
night.

How Great Guns are Made.

The Springfield Republican gives the
following account Of how the Hitchcock
cannon are to be made: In the fabrica-
ton of the large Hitchcock cannon,
about to be manufactured at the water
shops, tits necessary that the iron should
be heated in reverberatory furnace,
to avoid its contact with sulphur and
other impurities of coal. The gun is to
be formed of rings Of wrought iron or
low steel, made without Yields, the rings
so formed as to be united first in the
centre, that the superfuous cinder may
be squeezed out. The anvil which is to
receive the blow of the steam hammer
is to be seated on the piston of hy-
drostatic press, 30 as to he lowered as
each successive ring is added to the
gun during the process of forging. The
furnace is to be situated between the
anvil and the steam hammer, and so ar
ranged that the rings project into it
from below, and the hammer drops into
it from above. The ring to form the
muzzle of the gun is laid upon the move
able anvil, and is projected sufficiently
into the furnace to allow the fame to
raise it to a welding heat. Meanwhile,
in another part of the furnace, the rings
are heated to welding pitch at the same
time by proportioning the heat, by
means of hampers, to the relative bulk
of the two parts. Without removing
the parts from an atmosphere in which
there is very little, if any, oxygen, they
are laid together and instantly welded
by few strokes of the steam-hammer.
The anvil is then lowered the thickness
of the ring just welded on, and the same
process repeated until the entire gun is
forged. One advantage Mr.. Hitchcock
has in his plan over all others is, that
he never over or underheats the metal,
the temperature being regulated in either
furnace by the turn of the hand, so that
an even temperature may be maintained
for hours, if necessary, thus avoiding
oxidizing, as the welding surfaces are
not exposed to the atmosphere. The
plunger, or ram, is to be made of cast
iron, eighteen inches in diameter when
turned, and fourteen feet long, with the
head fitted to receive the anvil-block.
This plunger will weigh five tons. The
anvil-block proper will consist of solid
casting, weighing eight tons. Over the
top of the anvil-block will be placed
several loose blocks, which will weigh
5000, pounds. The rings with which
the gun is to be built up are to be made
at Pittsburgh, Pa, and shipped to this
city.

What is Your Life Worth .

No estimate can be made Of the value Of human
life. It is beyond appraisement. The wealth Of
the world weighed against II would kick the beam.
Yet how many precious lives are thrown away IN
Willingly. The laws Of health are simple enough,
but they are not generally understood, and even
when understood are too often disregarded. At
this season. for example, when 1t is expedent that
the physical system should be toned, regulated
and purified to enable It to endure without injury
the intense heats Of summer, how many thousands,
even Of the feeble and delicate, neglect to fortify
themselves in this way against known danger.
Who is SO ignorant as not to be aware that Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters, when taken regularly, are
q suro protection against intermittents, remit
tents, and all epidemics engendered by the
vapor-laden atmosphere Of springa Who does
not know that the Same wholesome tonic and alter
ative II taken at proper intervals throughout the
summer, will prevent fevsrs, bilious attacks, head
ache, collie, nervous debility, Indigestion and al
the long of ills to which heat and malaria
give rise. Whoever wants clean bill Of health fol
the most enervatng season Of the year, should take
time by the forelock and commence course ofthis

The late James Brooks was born in
Portland, Maine, Nov. 13, 1910. His
father died late in 1914, and was lost at
sea while in command of the " Yankee, "
n private armed vessel, which sailed
from Portland under the sanction OF
the Government, and one of the most
successful of those who carried the war
among the enemy's ships. No fortune
was left to the widow and three surviv.
ing children, and nothing indeed be-
yond a small pension from the two pei
cent. naval pension fund of the war OF

The Lava Beds.

What is remarkable, as showing the
military abilities of Captain Jack, say,
age though he be, was the discovery OF
a sort of defensive gallery that the Mo-
docs had constructed in order to COM
mand the approaches to their position
for distance of 500 yards. These works
evinced an engineering skill which drew
from the officers who inspected them
the most unstinted praise. They were
pronounced without superior in the
respect of strength, efficiency, and the
skill with which they were constructed.
The gallery was of serpentine shape,
between thirty and forty rods in length,
about breast high to man. The par.
allel walls of which it was composed
werebuiltof large rocks, and were about
ten feet apart. Cross walls, intended
to protect its defenders from cross.
fire, intersected its entire length every
few yards. The construction of this
work seems to indicate that the Modocs
had been for some time engaged in pre-
pairing this means of defence. Some
incidents of the last fight are recorded
by the troops engaged in it which would
seem to imply that the Modocs are not
at all alarmed at the campaign carried
on against them, while they at the same
time are anxious to be let alone. Dur
ing cessation of firing at one stage OF
the engagement one of the warriors call
ed out to some soldiers concealed be-
hind the rocks: "Why don't you boys
go home? How long are you going to
stay here? Don't you want to eat
Why don't you get your supper ?" and
similar utterances.

Horticultural Hints.

Horticultural Hints.
When fruit trees occupy the ground,
nothing else should-except very short
grass.
Fruitfulness and growth of the tree
cannot be expected the same year.
There is no plum that the curculio
will not take, though any kind may
sometimes escape for one year in a
place.
Peach borers will not do much dam
age when stiff clay is heaped up round
the tree foot high.
Pear blight still puzzles great many
men. The best remedy known is to
plant two for every one that dies.
If you don't know how to prune, don't
hire a man that knows less about it than
you do.
Don't cut off big lower limb, unless
you are renter and don't care what
becomes Of the tree when your time is
out.
Trim down, not up.
Shorten in, not lengthen up.
If you had an arm cut off, you would
feel it at your heart-a tree will not only
aNSib buS IOb W luc ItdIl.
When anybody tells youof gardener
that understands all about horticulture
and agriculture, and that can be hired,
don't believe q word of it, for there are
none such to be hired. Such a man can
make more than you can afford to give
him, and if he has sense enough to un-
derstand his business, he will also have
enough to know this.
Col. Curtis sent in the following as
the decision arrived at by a committee
of'the National Swine-breeders's Con-
vention'as to what constitutes a thor
oughbred hog. This authority states
that in the absence of any system of
records by which pedigrees of swine
are kept, your committee can only give
an expression which, from the nature of
the case, must be somewhat general.
Only such breeds should rank as thor
oughbred as arerecognized in authentic
history as of remote origin, and have
steadily been bred in line resulting
in the establishment of fixed type
capable of transmitting itself with uni
formity ; that the leading breeders of
pure-b bred swine form breeders clubs,
for the purpose of establishing herd
registries, after the plan adopted by
the breeders of thoroughbred cattle, in
order to secure greater uniformity, and
to perfect, as soon as possible, the yari-
Gus breeds.

British and American Expenses.

The British annual budget, to be submitted
to Parliament in April by the chancellor OF
the exchequer, will show an income of three
hundred and eighty million dollars, and an ex.
pendIture Of three hundred and 6fty-tive mil
lion dollars. Calculating the Interest on the
debt at one hundred and twenty-five million
dollars, the actual current expenditure will
appear about two hundred and thirty million
dollars. The expenditures of the United States
Government, taking the list of appropriations
MADE the last session Of Congress, are over
one hundred and ninety five million dollars,
exclusive of the Interest on the national debt,
or only thlrty-ave million less than those of
Great Brtsln-this, too, with no splendid ROYAL
establishment to support, and an army and
navy Insignificant compared with those of
Great Britain. Simple republican Institutions
seem to be more expensive than formerly.
