BULL AND PYTHON.
Story of Fight to the Death In the
South African Mountains.

Story of Fight to the Death In the
South African Mountains.
Last Sunday week one of the most
remarkable scenes on record is report
ed as having been witnessed in the Vi
cinity of Table mountain. A troop of
cattle, consisting of twelve COWS and a
patriarchal old bull, were grazing on
one of the pIateau-like spurs of the
mountain, which is surrounded on
three sides by precipitous ravines, and
on the fourth side, that nearest the
mountain, by dense bush. Some ma
lives higher up the mountain were att
tracted by the sudden believing of the
cattle. and saw two enormous pythons
coming out Of the bush and making for,
the cattle, which had drawn themselves
up in compact group with the bull at
its head. As the pythons drew near the
animals gradually backed until they
stood on a small space that jutted out
over a tremendous precipice.
Atthis stage sudden rush was made,
but only one heifer succeeded in escap-

raE Bre Steel GUN.
Taken from the Auueaiiug Furnace
and Now Being Polished.

A Pittsburgh special says: The big
steel gun was taken from the annealing
furnace at the Pittsburgh Steel Casting
Company works to-day and again placed
in the lathe for final polishing and re-
boring, which will end the work on 5u-
perintendent Hainsworths big pet in this
city. II will be shipped to Washington
about the Goth instant, where it will be
rebored and rihed TO the full six inches
in diameter required. In the annealing
furnace the gun was heated by means Of
natural gas TO l 400 degrees. 1t was al
lowed to cool and again heated to |, 400
degrees and gradually cooled of. The
process Of annealing Is a secret to the
Steel Casting Company, and has never
been used before, bat proved in this in
stance perfect success. The "sink
head" was cut off this afternoon and
boxed for. shipment to Government
Inspector Eaton, at Washington, for
official tests.
Mr.. Hainsworth said to-day: eff this
gun proves q success AIN going to offer
TO make the Government steel gun in
one casting, the same size rs the English
Hilton gun. and OF better quality, for

ed OF forty-fye separate pieces, IS forty
three feet long, and will throw a projec-
tile thirteen miles, which is FIVE miles
farther than has been done by any
American made gun. and cost the Gov

do it.
Experts who examined the gun to-day
say that it is simply perfect. 1t is as
close and smooth as a looking-glass.
