The beautiful waved lines and curious
fioweT-like figures that appear on thessur
face OF the barrels are really the lines of
welding, showing that two different met
ais, iron and steel, are intimately blended
in making the finest and strongest barrels.
The process Of thus welding and blending
steel and iron is g very interesting one.
Flat bars, or ribbons, of steel and iron are
alternately arranged together and twisted
into cable Several Of these cables are
then welded together and shaped into
long, fat bar, which is next spirally coiled
around 4 hollow cylinder, called q man
drel; after which the edges OF these spiral
bars are heated and firmly welded The
spiral coil il now put upon what is called q
Welding mandrel. is again heated and care
fully hammered into the shape Of q gun
barrel. Next comes the cold hammering,
BY which the pores Of the metal are Sc
curely closed The last, or finishing oper-
alton is to turn the barrel on lathe to ex-
aetiy its proper shape and size. BY all the
twistings aud weddings and hamInerings,
the metals are SO blended that the mass mas
somewhat the consistency and toughness
of woven steel and iron. 4 barrel thus
made is very hard TO burst. But the finish
ing Of the inside OF the barrel is an opera
ton requiring very great care and skill.
W nat Is called 2 CylliIcF-DoFeI DaIIel Is
where the bore or hole through the barrel
is made of uniform size from end to end.
4 chDke-bore is one that is a little smaller
at the muzzie than II is at the breech end.
There are various ways of choking gun
barrels, but the object Of all methods is to
make the gun throw its shot close together
with even and regular distribution and
with great force, There are several kinds
Of metallic combinations that guumakers
use, the principal OF which are called Da-
mascus, Bernard and laminated steel; the
Damascus barrels are generally considered
the best St Nicholas.

Rough on IncersolI.

The Catholic Union AID Times, published
at Buffalo, n. Y, pays its respects TO Rob
ert Iugersoll in this fashion:
Ingersoll, the orator of " scintillatingv
utility has come, abolished Christianity
again in his usual style and departed He
is richer by few hundred dollars and his
credulous dupes are Just that much poorer
The plus in his pocket is the equation Of
the deficit in theirs. They should sue him
for obtaining money under false pretenses
IN promising them some new music and
PLAYING off on them the same Old familiar
serenade They do not deserve anything
better; but that does not justify him. But
honor bright. q" let us tell the truth to
each other" Is it honest to advertise d new
lecture and then palm off on his audience
odds and ends of the same old stutfthat has
been made to do duty under one name or
another for the last dozen years or more :?
Come now Let US come together and say:
Now let US be honest. Let us teach other,
honor bright" AT one time the lecture is
called Mistakes of Moses" ut another
Skulls" at another The Gods" at an
other Orthodoxy and so on and so on
q litany of titles; but under whatever name
it is advertised it is the same old original
Jacobs of a song. Sometimes he begins at
the first verse and sings it through to the
last then he shifts the cylinder, starts at
the last verse and grinds it through TO the
first; again, shifting the cylinder, he begins
in the middle and reels it off in both direc-
tions-but always the same old tune There
is one advantage at least in this method of
abolishing Christianity: when you have
heard any one of the lectures you have the
whole collection, and all for fifty cents.
When the fiddler plays 40 Susanna" for
the first time you rather like it; when he
fiddles it again as " Yankee Doodle" YOU
may let it pass, but when he rasps it off
again as Life on the Ocean Wave" it
grows monotonous. After reading any one
of Ingersolrs lectures, you have gone over
the whole ground of his antagonism to
Christianity; you know all he has said
or appears to be able to say The lecture
of many titles changes its name every sea-
son as the snake changes its skin, while it
remains the same old serpent. Ingersoll
and Banum are educating the public
gradually educating them up to knowl-
edge of the thrifty philosophy that played
out attraction needs only to be Te-christ-
ened before its proprietor begins his annual
tour This trick of showmanship, however
will not last forever. The people grow ia
miliar with the attraction, and familiarity
begets contempt.
We give in another column extracts from
our city contemporaries which indicate the
turn of the tide and decline Of IngersolPs
star. The papers made him, and it viii
not take them long TO unmake him, now
that they have begun.

Love thee, my childr Why. precious oDc,
The flowers that brighten all the plain,

Would waste their sweetness but ia vain;

Such teans would flow from out mine eyes
Flow down and fall ss from dark skies
The drops of rain.
Iovethee, my child? Why, as the Gun
Lends light and glory to the day
So dost thou brighten sll my life
With thy pure loves each sparkling rSy;
And, tho the stars might glimmer bright.
I could but grope through darkseme night,
And tremhle with rude afrigh.
Vert thou away.
Love thee, my child? Yes, were it need
Ny life for thine I'd forfeit make,
And haste the hand TO strike the blow,
Or bind me to the flaming stake.
Love holds DER me such strength OF thT2l
Glad would die for thy sweet sake.
Child thourt nay su-Iny sunny star
The treasure Of my heart and home
My precious little human how's
Pure as the mountains daisy's bloom
Draw near me- sweet LIES but an hour
A step 'twixt childhood and the tomb
And such MS thou the Savior loves,
And bids them TO His mansion come.

TIE HoEoLULu FISK MARKET-A visit
.. tls fish market Of Honolulu on Satur-
Gay afternoon, winter or summer TOR there
arc no seasons here, remenbeT}, Is 2 sight
seldom elsewhere to be met. Situated on
the street lying beside the still surface Of
the hay. it seems as if the fish had only to
be augled for with the fingers FROM the
piers in order to be caught, cooked, cleaned
and eaten. Every variety OF fin atioat is TO
be seen il the market, prominently the
nutritious mullet Fish-wiveS, fish-hus>
bands and fish-children barter the sca,y
merchandise from stalls or counters COW
cred with fish and specie. Nowhere else
that know of could vendors leave in
parallel piles upon their tables with inn
punity gold and silver coins often amount
ing to scores of dollars. A good deal OF
chatting, joking and bargaining accom-
pany proceedings in this place Of trade,
the picturesque natives preponderatI3g
both as buyers and sellers. while all around
is life, noise, fiutter and business eageTness.
The scene reminds one of the Neapolitan
fish market in the square where Masanielio
organized his popular uprising aud revolt
tionary reyolt-that bold fisherman, king
of but three days reign. Fish is-a fGvorite
food of the Hawaiian at all times, which,
with bowl Of poi, makes up his usual
meal. Shell fish, shrimps especially, are
sold for salads la mayonnaise but there
is no native edible oyster. The oyster OF

TIE EVOLUTION or THE CORsET-As
long ago as the DAYS Of the Greeks and
Romans slight, et1ncee figure was admired
and StOutnesS looked upon - a deiormity,
aartial ridiculed fat women, and Ovid put
large waists in the first rank Of his rene
dies for love Several means were tried
y-then, as now, not only 10 restrain an cx-
panding figure, but TO exhanCe the beauties
Of . very slight one But they were of a
different kind from those with which We
are familiar. BandaSes were worn, with
the generic name OF fasctsg flqH5illares
These consisted OF the str0phapl, the cloth
worn around the bosom the te7Ia, q simple
band below, and the z75lG, or waist belt.
When band3ges failed, those who valued
the beauty OF their figures had recourse TO
a remedy prescribed by Screnus Sammo-
nicus They enyeloped their busts with
gariauJls OF IVY, which were thrown on
the fire IS soon as Withdrawn, and
afterwards rubbed all The upper
part Of their figures either with goose
fat mixed with warm milk, or with the egg
Of partridge. Men were rs vain is the
women, If we are TO believe hTistOphanes
and other writers. The great comic dra-
natist Knocked his contemporary CinesiaS
for wearing busks Of linen wood and Capri
tolinus, in his biography Of the Emperor
Anthony, mentions That he also had re-
course to them 10 compress his swelling
figure Testimony is conflicting, however.
Some contend that the ancients wore veri-
table cOrsets, arguing that when. Homer, in
describing Juno's toilet when she wishes to
captiyate Jupiter, speaks Of the two girdles
worn around her waist-the one bordered
with gold fringe, the other borrowed from
Venus-he vas really describing a Greek
corset and that the egide or cuirass OF
Minerva which Virgil describes is to be in
teTpreted in the same manner, But this
view is surely mistaken, for no monument
OF antiquity no artistic work, no eyidcnce
cleaned from other sources, point 10 the
Use Of stiff, uuyieldinS, whalebone corsets.
