In Maine they are beginning to find
out that prohibition does not prohibit.
It leaks out that in this self righteous and
model moral State that the prohibitory
law is both privately and publicly in
vaded, and is altogether imperative. 1t
is abundantly proven that the liquor
law does not represent the public senti-
ment of the people Of Maine, and there
fore it is not illegal to violate the law.
Neal Dow and a few others OF that ilk
get highly moral laws passed without
much difficulty, but the great difficulty
comes in their enforcement, when they
are above the moral standard Of commu-
mites and State. To enforce a law prop
erly the sentiment of the people must be
in accord with it. A leading Maine pa
per says that everybody in the State
knows that liquor is drunk in parlors, in
offices of law and in the studies Of cler-
gymen, in kitchens and workshops, in
the cars and on steamboats,. The people
keep it at home, and take it with them
when they travel, and carry it in their
pockets wherever they go. The express
companies bring it into the State for
private consumption, and a good deal of
the contraband stuff escapes detection
and goes into the smaller towns for pub
lie sale. The temperance men grieve
over this state of things, but they can't
help it. Most of them acknowledge that
the Maine law does not prohibit, and
some Of them think it is worse than nc

M. d. Conway, in . recent London let.
ter to the Cincinnati Commercial Gazette,
discusses Queen Victoria and the Prince
of Wales in a manner that leaves nothing
to be desired on the score Of ~frankness.
He starts out with the remark that it is
about time for Americans to be given q
hint that they are in danger of making
themselves a little ridiculous in the way
they sometimes indulge their sentimental
side in speaking Of Queen Victoria. Not
long ago, he says, he was present at the
annual dinner given by the Novimagians,
a club Of antiquarians, a good many gen.
tlemen and ladies being there, when an
American guest made q speech, in which
he fairly decorated shat noble woman"
with rhetorical Kohinoors, and left her
framed in o constellation of admiration
points. The English people smiled and
winked at each other; there were whis-
pers about distance lending enchant.
ment, and about the curious notions pre-
vailing in the American provinces. Mr..
Conway says the Queen is certainly not
liked by the English people," In the
course Of 81 years residence in London
he has formed . large acquaintance. and
he positively asserts that he does not
know one English man or woman who
personally likes or admires the Queen.
She is variously objected to as morose,
morbid, stingy. grasping, ugly, sullen'
ill.humored, and torpid, if not stupid.
He does not say that these opinions OF
her are correct, but that they are gener-
ally held-though, Of course. not pub
licly expressed. The English Radicals,
MI. Conway says. really set q high value
on the Queen because she has brought .
large degree Of u~npopularity on the
throne. They would like her to live a
long time, because every year the people
learn more and more how unimportant
the throne is to them, and are gradually
forgetting the traditions Of court splendor
and gayety. Turning from Victoria to
Wales, Mr.. Conway asserts that the
Queens growing unpopularity measures
the growth of the Prince Of Wales popu-
larity, which has been steadily increas-
ing, until it is fast amounting up to
enthusiasm.

AN EXPERTS WORK ON A TREASURY TINE

A Washington gentleman tells this story :
"On the Sd OF July the discussing clerk OF

il on the 9TH he could not. You see it is
one OF those combination time-locks, and
he wound the time part Of the lock up on

holiday. Businessmen and people gene

money, but would have to go away with
out il, because il was in the vault, and that
could not be opened. The most expert
machinists and Iocksmiths in the city were
sent for, and they worked at it from the
18th until Yesterday, but could not open IL.

HOW HUGE BLOCKS OF THE "RAW MATERIAL
ARE TURNED AND BORED INTO GREAT
GUNS.
National Republican,
The two new slX-inch steel guns now
being constructed in the ordnance-shops at
the navy-yard will probably not be finished
for several months. The work OF building
them Is necessarily slow oae. All the Ia
Dor is performed in the shops here, except
the manufacture of the steel-that is done
at the Midvale Works, in Easton, Pa. The
steel then is shipped to Washington, and
the work Of converting it to cannon is per-
formed
This is complex operation, and to the
looker-on is decidedly interesting. The
steel is first "turned" by a steam lathe
working slowly, but with tremendous
power, until the heavy mass of "steel in
| the rough" so to speak, becomes a long
| cylindrico-conoidal column. In this con-
| dition 1t is placed in proper position and a
hole drilled clear through it by means of
what is called 4 "hog-bit." This hog-bit is
a small rectangle OF very hard steel, turned
up at one end in such manner as to
form rude vertical section of a spheri-
cal triangle. The whole rectangular
piece is then clamped down upon flat
shaft OF chilled iron in such manner as to
| nit in and form one piece with the shaft.
The latter has at the opposite end cylin-
drical shape, which end is held in frame
and worked by appropriate machinery
moved by steam upon one end of the steel
column to be perforated. The end of the
column Is first "dug into" little, and
then the "hog-bit does its work. 1t re-
wolves on Its axis, and the 4" bit" describes
4 circle, tearing out the hard steel slowly
but surely. AS the gus have bore OF
SIX inches diameter, and the bit describes
circle OF only two and tbree.ouarter
inches radius, the enlargement OF the per.
foratlon is accomplished by other bits.
Once perforated, the now hollow tube OF
steel requires to be "jacketed.v secular.
ed" and "breeched before 1t is allowed
70 graduate into the society Of cannon.
The jacket is an outside wrap OF steel.
followed in the same way, heated until il
expands sufficient 10 be slipped over the
tube 1t is intended TO jacket. Upon cool.
ing this outside wrap contracts and presses
upon the now inside tube with almost the
same degree OF cohesion as the molecules
OF the steel themselves. The object OF the
Jacket" Is to strengthen the gun and pre-
vent accident.
The explosive force Of the gases evolved
from gunpowder being tremendous, and
occurring mostly at the breech, the primary
object Is to strengthen this latter part. Col
lars OF steel, great blocks OF the carbon
ized iron, having been turned into shape
and perforated, are next expanded by
neat, and slipped over the breech- part |
OF tae gun. When contracting they |
grow into and become part Of it. The |
Dreech-head OF the gun Is next lathed and |
fashioned, different workmen being en-
ployed on differents parts Of this. The
riding Of the gun is another step. "A dit. |
ferent kind OF "bit" from the "hog,n |
spur OF steel tempered to great hardness Is |
clamped to the centre OF semi-clrcular |
