An Interesting Sight,

BOsTON, Oct. l7.-At the South
Boston iron works the casting Of a
fifty. four ton, twelve inch breech
loading rifle gun took place in the
presence of a large cOncourse which
included many military men. 1t
was the third attempt to cast this
gun, two previous attempts have
failed. At 12:i4 Foreman Wood
gave the order and from two fur
naces, holding over forty tons OF
metal each, the motion iron began
to flow, sending forth showers OF
sparks as it ran into the receiver
and thence into the mold.
\ few minutes later the third
furnace was tapped, and for fifteen
minutes the flow of metal went in
without interruption. Suddenly a
dense volume of flames shot up in
the air, followed by clouds of
steam. The furnaces were shut off,
but after a careful investigation
the iron was again turned on.
There is a possibility that the core
arbor of the mold is damaged
somewhat, but from present ap-
pea7ances the casting is a success
Over 10j tons now are in the mold,
Within twenty.four hours it will be
known what, if any, mishap has
occurred.
