GREAT GUNS.
How They Are Loaded.

\ London Times correspondent gives a
graphic account of the manner in which the
enormous guns on the new Italian iron clad
DuillO are handled and loaded. He says:
''The next point is the loading arrange
mentS. Think of the difficulty to be over
come. Here is turret exposed TO the fire
of the enemy'S small arms and shrapnel and
the gun is so long that its muzzle is al
ways outside the turret. In that
muzzle must be a sponge to clean it,
jet of water TO wash it, and extin-
guish any remains of fire left from the dis
charge. a cartridge weighing at least as much
as two heavy men, and shot the weight of
which falls little short of Il ton; and all this
must he done quickly with avoidance of all
nervousness. A shot must be properly
rammed home, lest the gun should be
strained or even burst. Here again comes
to the aid of the artillerist the silent, calm,
irresistible force of water. The muzzle of
the gun is depressed till it comes opposite
a round iron door leading below the deck.
The door, which is covered from the
enemy's fire by hood formed by sloping
plates of iron, glides back, and the head of
an enormous sponge appears, carried in
front of a metal rod. Swiftly and silently
il enters the bore OF the gun, lengthening
itself like Il telescope till it reaches the bot
tom of the bore, when spring is touched,
a valve opens and a deluge OF water rushes'
from the head OF the sponge, eXtlneuiShing
every possible trace of fire. 0bedient to
the touch of one man on the handle, the
sponge will advance and retire as often
rs is willed. then withdraw, leaving
room for the cartridge to APP
pear. Cartridge and shot are safe below the
deck, each shot with its charge on a separate
truck in the magazine always slowed in
readiness for use at the moment of action.
"A word from the turret causes the truck
with its freight of ammunition to be run out
ON to a small trap doer on main deck.
Instantly the door rises, the till cart
ridge is in the turret between the sponge
head and gun, which receives il
by short, quick thrust of the
sponge head now become RAM
mer. Another short lift by the same power
always water, and the shot'i is in front of the
muzzle. The sponge hammer then sends
home the shot and charge together perfectly
steady, and always by means of the water
power. Before going further let us mark
popularity in the cartridge. 1t is not solid.
A hollow cone of brass runs up from its base
TO its center, and near the center only does
the ignition take place through the vent
which Is in the rear of the gun in the axis
line"

the scarlet flush of modesty and shame
swept over her thin face. But no word was

a pile of money lay in the lady's hand in a
moment the offering of men and women
who were softened by her appeal, and in a
little while the spacious parlor was filled
with music and singing with here and there
a tender song whose burthen was of better

A Lady of Pluck.

MIR. P. Bowling, the merchant tailor,
who lives at the northwest corner OF
George and Elm streets, should visit an
armory and borrow musket or some
other shooting iron, and then may be
burglars who visit him now twice in one
night will learn to respect his privacy.
AT O'Clock this morning burglar got
into Dowling's house by means OF doc
tors Office in the rear OF the house ana
fronting on George street, on which he
climbed and then jumped into DoWling's
second-story window. Miss Murphy
boards at Dowling's, and the fellow
struggled into her room. She was
awakened by his noise. A sound In am
other part OF the house alarmed the bur-
glar. With GOODNESS and presence of
mind remarkable, Miss Murphy wanted
10 know OF him:
"What do you want here, STRIP
"Hushl Don't you make bit Of
noise! l want to get out of here; pve
lost my way" said the night prowler.
"Go out the way you got in" said the
lady.
81 don't know how that was; Pm lost,
l tell youw
The thought struck Miss Murphy that
by telling him to 60 a certain way she
could succeed In trapping the burglar
and effect his capture. Acting on this
impulse she gave him the directions
she thought would lead to his discom-
titure, but the fellow had somehow re-
covered his bearing and hastily departed
just as Bowling appeared on the scene,
though unarmed.
The inmates Of the house subsided
finally and fell to sleep. Again they
were awakened at quarter past A.,
just at dawn this morning, but not until
The same chap, 1t is supposed, had re-
newed the attempt, and this time carried
off pocket book containing between $45
and $50. What a pity it was that the
plucky lady did not have a pistol under
her pillow; for judging by the manner in
which she conducted herself under cir
cumstances calculated to throw the
average woman into spasms Of fright,
she would certainly have had the nerve
to lay that fellow up in The Hospital by
we'll directed shot.
