Few people, says a Western CORE
spondent, have any very accurate idea
of what modern steel riilcd cannon
looks like, or how complex and diff
cult process its fabrication is To
the average citizen the word big gun
suggests Il huge mass of cast iron with
q large hole in it-short, cumbrous and
ungainly. But the modern ste ell gun
is neither. On the contrary, it is the
work of art, and, being so, is thing
of beauty. 1t begins with what is
known as the cube" which is the
only portion of it that extends in an
unbroken mass the entire length of the
gun. This tube is the foundation of
the structure. After being forged to
the required length and rough diane
ter, it is bored and turned with the
nicely of the most delicate machine. 1t
is then ready TO receive what is called
the Jacket This is another tube
of forged steel large enough for the
breech, and of the original tube to be
inserted in it for about onethird of
the length of the latter, measuring
from the breech forward. In prepar-
ing the Jacket for the insertion of the
tube, the two are so fitted that the bore
| of the former is n few thOusandths of
an inch smaller than the exterior Of the
latter. The jacket is then heated to
II black heat, by which it is
expanded sufficiently TO admit the tube,
and its shrinkage while cooling forms
"cold we'll" and provides what is
termed in the technology of gunmaking
| the required "initial tensions that Is
TO say, the cXertion of constant pres
sure by the jacket upon the walls of
the tube within, 1t usually happens
that the compression produced by the
shrinking process is so enormous AS to
contract the bore of the original tube,
under the length of the jacket, suili-
GENTLY to require the boring head to be
run through again in order to make ii
uniform. After the jacket has been
shrunk on the surface 1t is again turned
and polished with mathematical pre-
cision. Over this again are shrunk a
number of rings or hooks, also of
forged steel and the surface of these is
again turned and polished, when the
weapon is ready for rtling, This pro
cess is similar to that of growing ritled
small arms, except that it is upon a
much larger scale.

completed its inter.u urban line Owing to
a delay on the bridge at St Paul the Min

however. will be fully ironed by July 4.
The intervening time will be devoted to
surfacing aud ballasting the new track,

when thrown open to travel. Through
passenger trains will not be run until
Ang. /; local freights will be run between
stations as often as the business offered
may demand. When turned over to the
operating department there will be at least
Ave daily passenger trains in and out Of
St. Paul t"o Of which will be run through
TO Chicago. For the present the route to
Chicago will be via Mona and Forreston.
This will in all probability be only a
temporary route, az the run is too long for
much competition on through Chicago
business. The distance from st. Paul Is
484 miles, az against 40 by the Omaha
and Milwaukee & St. Paul The building
Of the Dubuque g. Northwestern from

Is not expected that the new route will
