An Immense Gun,
From the London Tines

From the London Times.
There was great excitement at Shoebury-
ness, England, when the trials of the new
eighty-oue-ton took place. The alarm of
the Inhabitants over the possible dreadful
consequences suggests that felt regarding
the explosion at He'll Gate, in New York
Harbor. The eighty-one-ton gun was fired
with charge of $40 pounds of powder be-
hind shot weighing ZOO pounds. Notice
had been given to the inhabitants to open
their doors and windows, yet when the first
explosion took place windows in the vicin.
ity were broken, ceilings fell, crockery was
smashed, and there was general confusion.
A grocer's plate glass window, five hun
dred yards from the gun, was smashed into
bits, and the barracks had their sashes,
locks, and doors broken. The shot was
sent seven miles. Yet In the great explo-
sion Of 81, 900 pounds of nitro. glycerine and
its preparations at He'll Gate the damage
was very slight, and windows and china In
the vicinity suffered scarcely any injury.
The reason of the difference was that the
He'll Gate explosion took place under a
heavy cushion of water, while that at Shoe
buryness was In the open air. The eighty
one-ton monster is successful experiment
In gun manufacture.

A6iatfc Doctors,

The first care of the port physician is to
study your general appearance and ask you
about your temperament. When he mas
combined your symptoms with your tenn
permanent, he will pull bag out of his
pocket, or unite the scarf which serves him
for girdle, and open an assortment of
drugs in twisted bits of paper, perhaps
tasting or smelling to find the right ones,
and having chosen the proper medicines, he
will give you the usual directions about
doses and diet. The medicaments used by
Central Asiatic physicians are very simple,
being in most part vege,able substance, but
few animal matters and minerals being used.
They are usually taken i'll the form of pow
ders and decoctions, and when mixed medi'
ciDes are given the doctor allows the patient
to mix them himself.
