A Big Gun Fired With Dynamite

The New York Times describes test
made of Lieutenant Zalinsk's pneu.
matte gun in New York harbor. The enor,
nous piece of machinery, the barrel Of
which is sixty feet long, is designed te
throw 100 pounds of explosive from one
to three miles. The particular feature
of the gun is that the projcctile is madt
to explode either upon contact with the
object or at any depth below the water
which may be required. Lieutenant Zal,
inski has for some time past been ex.
permenting with the gun to get the
greate,t results possible from the ex.
plosiye. He uses the electric battery,
which enables him to obtain the highest
order Of explosion. With his dry battery
tie shell explodes the moment that the
shot comes in contact with the water.
The time of explosion is governed by the
sensitiveness of the battery. By his wei
battery the explosion is prolonged
Ten empty pro ectiles were fired from
the gun yesterday, with a pressure oil
1000 pounds to the square inch, in the
direction of target twelve feet long by
five feet high placed In the Bay one mile
from Fort Lafayette and in the centre OF
a circle of barrels 800 feet round. The
average time required to fire the gun
after the word of command had beer
given was one-tenth of a second. The
average time required to reach the target
after the word of command had been
given was nine seconds. All the pro-
jectiles struck the water within the circle
of barrels, which proved to Lieut.. Zalin-
ski that the gun answered the require,
ments of Gen. H. L. Abbot, who main.
tanned that 100 pounds of dynamite fired
within thirty feet of an ironcad would
demolish the ironclad. The fourth pro
jectic struck barrel. Tho missiles
went straight as an arrow through tht
air, with a peculiar whizzing sound
which could be heard at considerabl,
distance. One OF two of the projectiles
went over the target. They weighed
from 145 to 151 pounds.
Lieutenant Zalinski then loaded pro-
jectile with 100 pounds of dynamite, ant
put it in the gun. The gentlemen ran t,
the other end of the folt; the Board hit
themselves behind tree, aud took sur
reptitious peeps from time to time at tn,
arrangements. The projectile was fired

Fighting on a Fast Train.

Western newspapers tell of fight on
Ehe Sunset Railway, recently, before day
tight. The train was fast one, and the
road rough In the smoking car were
two blanketed Mexicans, who, beyond
getting up a few times to light ciga-
fettes, did not move. Just before day
light the train pulled up at the little
way side station of Cline, twenty mills
west of Uvalve, Texas. The tram
stopped just minute but long enough
to allow Deputy SherifTs Baylor and
Nimmo to spring aboard. As their feet
touched the top steps they threw open
the door, and, aiming couple of revolv-
ers at the Mexicans, ordered them TO
throw up their hands. There was only a
single lamp swinging in the Car. The
sleepy passengers heard the curt demand,
and looking forward in the dim light
saw the shroude forms spring hastily
! up; the blankets fell from their should
ers, and the ball began.
There was an inces.ant explosion that
in the cramped and confined space Of
the coach sounded terrific. The officers
stood with their lacks to the door and
worked their revolyers for life. The
desperadoes-on one standing full in the
middle of the aisle, the other with one
hand resting carelessly on the back of
seat and swearing shrilly in Spanish
were enveloped In the smoke of their
own revolvers. Amid the gripping Of plush
and tinkle of shivering glass, the scream
ing ard covering men saw the tall form
in the aisle plunge backward to the floor
dead man. The other Desperate,
wounded, one hand pressing his side,
the other holding his empty revolver over
his head, with yell burst by the officers
through the door and leaped TO the
ground. Day had broken and the slow
ing train came to a stop. One of the
officers sprang after the fleeing, stagger-
ing figure, and called ON it to halt. 1t
turned and snapped the empty weapon
at its pursuer. Tn it went down with

The officers took an inventory of them.
selves. Though bleeding slightly in
several places, they were unhurt, but
their clothes hung in tatters. Baylor,
who stood nearest the MeX;cans, had his
clothes literally ribboned his hands and
the side of his neck were powder burned
Nimmo had not suffered so severely. The
Mexicans were horse thieves, for whom
the officers had wa rants.

EuNiS.

Apropos of an attempt being made by
society in England to ropularize goats,
the London &anaard says As most of
our finest French gloves are made of rat
skins, it is not necessary to enlarge upon
the value of kids as furnishing the raw
material OF these hand coverings. Nor
though the best Morocco leather-the art
of softening, which is still confined to
Muley Hassan's Empire-is made from
goat skins, would it repay anyone to
keep flock for that purpose. But as an
occasional change of food, goats flesh is
not to be despised. The old animal, we
admit, is not delicacy In Wales it is
sailed and dried, and eaten under the
name of chung venison," which is
strongly recommended for soup In
some countries it is even preferred to
mutton, being ''stronger food" and
therefore more nutritious than the flesh
of sheep. However, unless ones palate
has been educated up to goat, the feeling
after dinner on one of an uncertain age
is that of the backwoodsman who supped
on crow. He could eat crow, but he
failed "to banker arter it." No one
bankers after goat any more than he
does after mule, or alligator, or that
fricassee of donkey, regarding which,

Knew He Was a Doctor.

A bright little fve-year-old boy was
visiting his father, who belonged to a
New York regiment, in camp. One day,
as he was playing before his fathers tent,
he was accosted in pleasant way by a
sprucely dressed soldier. He was ac-
customed to being noticed, child in
camp being a great luxury, bat from this
soldier he showed evident designs of
moving away. "Come here, my title
man." said the officer. The discerning
child replied: 81 don't want to; you
are doctor; l know you are doctor "
"You are mistaken come here, am not
a doctor" But the little fellow only
put his head out of the tent far enough
to say: Eyes, you are doctor, too; I
know You are doctor, for can smell
the medicine on your BREATH"

But though the answer hoored him fat,

"For sun-dry reason, sir" quoth she.
