The Mofford gun, which is nov beng pro-
pared for trial on next Friday or Saturday a
the navy yard, is attracting considerable a.
tention among heavy ordnance experts, aud
1t is probable that the trial wiz be witnessed
by large number of people. The MOllord
gun Is designed to prevent explosions by con.
trolling the expansion of the inner surface Of
the gun, which in rapid firing takes place Mt a
much greater rate than that part of the metal
removed from the bore. This is done by con.
siructing the gun in two parts, practically
making an inner and outer gun with space
between the two about an inch wide. This
space between the two parts of the gun is
filed with nOn.Compressible fluid that will
not freeze or rust, and when filled makes the
entire gun as solid as If the whole were of
steel. When the expansion begins, cOnse.
qucnt TO the firing, this fluid Is forced out, aud
thus the pressure on the outer body of the gun
which would remain cooler aud bo but little
expanded is avoided. As the expansion con.
tinues from successive firing more fluid Is
for ced out, so that no matter how hot the gun
may become the unequal degree of heat pos
sessed by its parts cannot cause an explosion.
The cause Of all explosions is conceded to be
because of this unequal expansion, which Is
her, by overcome. The trial OF the gun will BE-
under the direction of Mr.. Moford, the in.

ONLY four members out of the fifteen Of
the committee on elections even pretend to
believe that Frank Hurd was elected to
Congress, and yet Hurd has the cheek to
attempt to crowd himself into that body.
The debate yesterday was strongly against
Hurd's pretensions, and the indications are
that the vote to-day will confer upon him
the privilege Of remaining at home until
such time as lie succeeds in prevailing upon
n majority of the voters In his district to
give him their sufrrages, contingency
which the NATIONAL REPUBLICAN trusts
may never arise.

THE Knights OF Labor are protesting by
petition against the free ship bill now on
the calendar of the House. They SHOULD
keep in mind the fact that the bill is a
Democratic measure or scheme designed,
as most Democratic schemes are, to lower
the price of American labor by bringing the
pauper labor Of Europe in competition
with that Of our American mechanics aud
workingmen. The Democratic party has
always been and is to-day the enemy of the
working people Of this country.

OUR esteemed contemporary, the Post,
has figured 1t out that the next House of
Representatives is to contain working
Democratic majority. Possibly that will be
so, but time may tell different story.

Rather Mixed Relationship.

A queer case of mixed relation
ship is that::of Widower and SOC
who married a widow and hel
daughter. When he married the
daughter he became father-in-laN
to the widow who was daughter-ln.
law; or in other words father-in-laW
to his mother-in-laW. His wife be-
came the step-mother Of his son-in.
law, who was in fact her brother,
being the son of his father, her hus.
band. When the son married the
widow he became the father-in-law
of his own father, because his wife
was his fathers wife's mother. By
his wlfe's marriage the step-father
of his step mother, who was his
step daughter. The widow is not
only the mother of her daughter
but also her daughter-in-law, and
the daughter becomes her mother
in=law.
The widow is likewise the daugh-
ter-in-law of her husbands father,
who, it will be remembered, is her
son-in-law by reason of being her
daughters husband. By marrying
the widow the son became the SON.
in-l&w of his mother, the wife of his
father. The son became the father
of his fathers wife, his half-sister
his swn daughter, because che is
the daughter of his own wife. The
old gentleman, by his marriage with
the daughter, became his sons
wife's son-in-law, that lady like
wise being:his daughter-in-laW, al
though being his wife's mother.
The fathers wife, as stepmother to
his children, is therefore step-mOth
er to her mother aid step-father,
the latter being the son of her hus-
band. If the union of the son and
widow be blessed with girl babe,
the little one would ordinarily be
the old gentleman's grandchild. In
this instance, however-the cid
man being son-in-law to the SON
be, in addition to being its grand
father, is a half brother to the in
FAINT, and the child is half sister to
It's grandmother. In case the
who married the widower,
should have a boy, he would at
once become his grandmOther's half
brother and her brother-in-law at |
he same time.
