Chief Justice Daley of New York,
president of the Geographical Society,
writing to the New York Herald, ex-
presses disbelief in the existence of the
open polar sea so earnestly advocated
by Lieutenant Maury, DR.. Kane and
DIR. Hayes, for the general reason that
the ce-bound condition of the portion
OF the Arctic that is known to us should
be assumed to continue in still greater
degree to the pole. as the nearer we ap-
proach it the further we are removed
from the influence of the sun. The idea
of an open polar sea originated in the
imaginary representation upon old
maps of the early part of the sixteenth
century Of such sea at the north pole,
with four rivers corresponding to the
cardinal points flowing from it, and a
statement made during the same CEN
fury by one Moxen, an English hydro
grapher, that he had met sailor in a
taven at Amsterdam who had seen this
sea and sailed upon it. Still Judge
Daley advocates continuous scientific
observations around the polar basin,
extending as far inward or toward the
pole as favorable opportunities offer;
for we shall never accurately know the
laws of aerial and oceanic currents un
less We know more than we do now
about what takes place in the Arctic
circle, and this will not be abandoned.
notwithstanding the calamity that has
befallen the present expedition.

Somebody once accounted for the ex-
cesses of the French Revolution on the
ground that the nation had become in
sane, arguing that peoplemay go mad in
masses as we'll as individually. This idea
appears to find confirmation in France
now, in the case of the prejudice against
doctors in the cholera smitten districts.
The explanation of the prejudice is that
a pamphlet written by German, and
containing the assertion that cholera is
natures means of Kidding the earth of
surplus population, and especially of
that part not fitted for the struggle of
existence, has been widely circulated in
France, and that the people think the
views of the government accord with
those of the German writer. The doc
tors are looked upon as the agents of
the government, and their object to en-
courage instead of suppress the disease.
A good many follies may be attributed
to simple ignorance under the influence
of fear, but this folly is so extreme as
to lead to the suggestion that it ema-
mated from and is believed in only by
persons who are insane.

How Gun Barrels are Made.

st. Nicholas. beautiful waved
lines and curious flower like figures that
appear upon the surface of the barrels
are really the lines of welding, showing
that two different kinds of metals, iron
and steel, are intimately blended in max
ing the finest and strongest barrels. The
process of thus welding and blending
steel and iron is very interesting one.
Flat bars, or ribbons, of steel and iron
are alternatively arranged together and
then twisted into cable.
Sevaral of the cables are then welded
together, and shaped into long flat bar
which is next spirally coiled around a
hollow cylinder, called a mandrel; after
which the edges of these spiral bars are
heated and firmly welded. The spiral
coil is now put upon what is called a
welding mandrel, is again heated and
carefully hammered into the shape
of a gun-barrel. Next comes the
cold hammering, by which the pores
are securely closed. The last or finish
ing operation is to turn the barrel on a
lathe to exactly its shape and size. BY
all the twistings and weddings and ham
merings, the metals are so blended that
the mass has somewhat the consistency
and toughness of woven steel and iron.
A barrel thus made is very hard to
burst But the finishing of the inside of
the barrel is an operation requiring very
great care and skill. What is called a
cylinder bored barrel is where the bore
or hole through the barrel is made of
uniform size from end to end. A choke
bore is one that is a little smaller at
the muzzle end than it is at the breach
end. There are various ways of "choh-
ing" gun-barrels, but the object of all
methods is to make the gun throw its
shot close together with even and regu-
lar distribution and with great force,
There are several kinds of metallic
combinations that gun makers use, the
principal of which are called Damascus,
Bernard and laminated steel. The
Damascus barrels are generally con-
sidered the best.

CONCERNING Gillian aoldiers.

e During the late encampment of the Minnesota
militia, Col Gaines Lawson, Twenty fl fth infan-
try and stationed at Fort Smelling, was detailed
toinspect the two regiments in camp. Thurs
day he sent in his report to Gov. Hubbard, and
speaks highly therein of the encampments, but
gives little advice to officers and men, The re-
port says, in substance, that at Winona, where
the Second regiment encamped, the attendance
was good with companies from abroad, while
those located nearer the camp were not repre-
seated as well as they should have BEEN The
same criticism on attendance is made of the
First regiment camp at Lake Calhoun The
First is particularly complimented on it's bat
talon drills and excellent rifle practice The
report suggests that inspections of arms should
be more frequently made by company comman-
ders and that the old calibre, Is, should be re-
placed by the new safety notch, As The re-
port recommend physical examination of appli-
cants for enlisting as citizen soldiers. Other
states have blanks for muster, pay rolls SER
geants, morning reports, guard reports, and
particularly blank for all commanders to fill,
giving semi-annual account of all state pro-
priety in their charge COL Lawson recon-
mends the adoption OF such blanks. It was
further recommended that each regiment be al
lowed an instructor of musketry who shall
be an inspector Of rfflo practice.

The season of 1884 thus far proved
comparatively Improbable one for the
watering place hotels, and also for the
lirst-class hotels in many cities, owing
in part to the unusually cold weather
of July, but also in part to an appar-
ent disposition in the public to be less
lavish of expenditure than formerly.
There is growing demand for simpler
and more homeike hotels, says an East
ern paper, with quiet Accommodations
and transformations service of the "good
old days" style. The quiet and home
like hotels are said to be making the
most money and rapidly increasing in
number, indicating a growing change
for the better in the habits of the Amer
lean people.
