Casting a Big Gun in Boston.

They made a fourth attempt to cast a 5+ton l2inch rife for the Chicago the other day at the South Boston iron works. The difficulty with gun casting is the cOOlings and the patent which krupp has on this is the basis of his fame. However, the BOs- ton fOundries are courageous. They first make agun-pit of sand and clay thirty feet. This takes the form of the gun to be cast. The core, which is to make the bore, is carefully fabricated and suspended in the pit with mathematical nicety. Then at 6 o'clock of one day the fires are started un- der three furnaces filled with steel ingots, each containing thirty-five tons. In about twenty hours this is reduced to a molten mass Cutters are provided from each furnace to the gun mold.
 At given signal each furnace Is tapped; the white liquid runs into the gun-pit; the core stands the shock, and in twenty-two minutes the pit is full The furnaces are plugged and the mass of metal (fifty-four tons in weight), is left to cool. This pro cess takes four weeks; then, if no disturb ance of the core has taken place, the lat ter is bored out, the gun is lifted from its bed and the work of finishing begins. It takes six months to accomplish this This magnificent gun, when complete, will be thirty feet long and weigh fifty-four tons. It will fire 265 pounds of powder, throw a projectile 50 pounds in weight, have a velocity of projectile of ,s60 feet per sec ond, which would cover three miles of range, and a muzzle energy of l6.0OO tons to the square inch of impact-Or the capacity to send a solid shot through twenty-three inches of iron plating Chicago Herald.

Lobbyist, Work at the Capi,or.

The work of an attorney and a lobbyist before congress is not considered dissimi lar by many people here, although there Is n difference. An attorney-lf he Is a legitimate one and confines himself to legitimate wOrk-simply presents the le- gal argument or common argument in his case to a committee, as he would to jury. There his work ends, and there the work of the lobbyist begins. A lobbyist confines bis operations to individual members. He seldom If ever talks to more than one at a time. By all manner of arguments and persuasiyeness he induces the members of the committee or the whole house or sen ate to support his bill.
 The lobbyist does not work as much at the capitol. when he can be seen, as he does at the rooms of the statesmen. Many, however, importune the members or sena- tors whenever they can There are a num- Der of professional lobbyists here, but the number Is not so large as Is generally sup posed. There are probably not more than fifty men or women here who make live hhood by inhuincing the votes of law makers. Many more than this number receive compensation with the understand ing that they will influence men, but they claim treachery and all that kind of thing if the measure naturally fails, and If it naturally wins they take the credit to themselves.

A BIT OF lNGRATrTunP.


 The TribuDe's Washington special of the l1th says:
 John l.. Hayes, the man wno passed Miss FolsOm's baggage and was recently removed from the position of Inspector m the New York Custom house, ves in Washington to-day to find ont why be WAS removed. At the tImo he passed the baggage Secretary Lamont, who met Miss Folsom, thanked him and Fsid fl he could ever do him a good turn to let LIm know. Hayes sent in hIs card to Lamontto today, md the latter refused to see him. Assistant Secretary Smith of the Treasury Department, on whom he then called. told him frankly that he had removed him.
 "On what groundY" osked Hayes. "OffensIve partiSanship.1 answered Smith. Why, Mr. Secretary" said Hayes, "I havn't hal anything to do with politics in ten years." "You once lived ID Meafviile, Pc ," said the Secre- tary, ''a;.d had record there as G poiit- ica. worker. T. was on that you were removed"
 "l hved in Meajville sixteen years ago." said Hayes, telling tho story later IG the day. 'I served all through the war, End wa7 appointed tp place n the Custom House, under Grant" Hayes supposed Lamont had an order from the Secretary of the Treasury when he pass ed the Folsom baggage, but IL turns out he had uone. and the baggage was ad- mitted free of duty.
 No true American can read the above article without a blush of shame lt Is obvicns that Inspector Hayes ToulI no: have passed Miss Folsori's baggage had il not been apparent ths: Private Secretary Lamont desired it to be sd- mitted fee If duty.

Ihe Gnn.a nnh thn IrhIans-

A goose which has just died at Stuttgart left the flock while still a gosling. and re- solved to have nothing more to do with it's companion geese, but to. try a new way of life for itself So It boldly marched into the barracks of a uhlan regiment, one day, and stationed itself next the sentry-box. The uhlans were touched by the goose choosing tO ally itself with their corps, and built shed for it to live in. For twenty three years neither threats nor persuasions were able to separate the bird from its adopted regiment. When the corps changed quarters the goose went with them, and when the uhlans went to fight for their country the desolate creature took up for a time with battalion of in fantry; but no sooner did the first uhlans enter the town than the goose marched out to meet them, and went with them to her old quarters. Since her death she has been stuffed, and is to be seen in a glass case on the gate of the barracks at Stutt- gart.-ChicagO Times.

TEE hostile Apaches have adopted ( new line Of tactics and now travel most ly by night, omnittIDg the mos, daring ierredaiiols under the cover of daik ness. The time was when they rev5r rCid,d during the night unless the moon shone very brightly. This new feature is very advantageous to .hem, for they watch during the day from elevat- ed places and when darkness falls upon them they know what route 10 take r. avoid the troops, and make short cuts across the open country unmoies!ed. II is in C chase by night, when the human eye cannot detect the faint trail, that bloodhouuds would be servioesble IT tracking them. The hostiles would scarce ly look for such accurate trailing in dark ness, ari i; the affairs we:e alTcitly managed it really looks feasible for the troops or volunteers to locate their hurrledIy made :camp and guard the avenues of escape before preoipitating a surprise attack. At least inc theory looks good on paper, and We wculd like to see it practically demonstrated. So long as the Indians can put stretch of twenty or thirty miles between them and thei- pursuets in a single night when travelling can be done wita the .eas; fatigue and greatest safety, there is but lit,le chance of overtsking them excepting by mere accident.

She p,dn.s Notice che Bullets.

The following story is told by the author of "WOmen of the War;" Capt. Mitcheus mother was tas mot tiulid woman l ever saw. We had to cross a pontoon bridge, and it was thought best that we should dismount and cross on foot, and It fell to my lot to escort old Mrs. Mitchell oger. No sooner had we started than federal bat tery not far of opened fire upon us. The soldiers on the opposite side of the river, protected by the high railroad emoank- ment, became quite frantic at our danger, and kept screaming to us to run, run, ladies, for Gods sake, run and get over herer All of this was lost upon old Mrs Mitchell. She could not hear what they said for the roar of the cannonading 10 which she had now become accustomed. Neither did she know that we were under fire Though the balls were splashing in the water on each side of us, she did not notice them, and no one felt called upon to draw her attention to the fact She oo- jected to running, preferring to walk; SO, taking her by the hand, we ambled along. Half way across we passed a soldier on guard, whereupon she stopped to ask him if there was any danger there. He was stOlid-looking fellow, but he fairly gaped at her; language failed him Before he could find his tongue hurried her on, de- claring that 1t was against order to speak to the guard For 1 knew that if she ever discovered the danger she as in, her knees would give way under her and would have the pleasure of carrying her the rest of the way.
 At last we reached the other bank, and were under cover of the railroad embark ment Then the officer in charge of the pOntOon bridge came up to speak to us. He was an old friend Mrs. Mitchell had not seen for years, and she greeted him cor dially; How do you do, Capt. Ha-risi am so glad tO sec you How is your wlfeS She Is very well, said the astonished cap tain, looking first at the old lady and then involuntarily at a shell flying overhead. And your sisters. how are theyP Very well, thank you, he said politely, not to be outdone by cOOlness. And our friends, the Turners-have you seen them latelyP He gazed at her in astOnishment. The forest trees around were being riddled by shot and shell, but she was so busy uk ing about her neighbOrs she did not notice them. The Argonaut.

The Wall Paper P.riI AS.in

may be able to throw a little light on the question. Formerly greens were the only arsenical colors, but within the last ten years an extensive use has been made by paper stainers of a compound of arsenic and glycerine. That enters now into almost all colOrs, and especially into the most delicate tinted papers. A richness and a softness Is secured by this compound that cefies competition Tinted book papers of the most delicate tints and of the highest cost owe their richness and delicacy of tint to the glycerine and arsenic solution. Hence the importance of put ting wall papers and tinted papers under proper surveillance.--Chemist' in The Advertiser
