they keep in the background out Of
harms way-unless, indeed, the gun
should endeavor TO usurp the peculiar
duties of n Government mule, or the
performance of thrown-over applicant
for fat position. These great guns, y
which, by the way, are not of the vari-
ETY. that sailors say are blown on Father
Neptune's domain, are made in the latest
style, and are "breech-losders." 1t may
tend to reassure the timid also TO state
that they are ''Quakers. This is not
the case, however, with all the weapons
of offenseo seen in that portion of the
building The Calling gun is there with
its circle of ugly-looking mouths, and
rified steel cannon, whose missile will
KNOCK an OK over, even after its force is
spent. There are also trophies of warm
the shape of captured cannon, which are
yeritable tramps-gray, or rather green,
with old age, from which the fortunes of
war have stripped the polish but left
there instead the honorable scars and
honestly earned LONELINESS of veterans.
Scattered at random among the guns are
samples of the missiles used In them.
There are immense solid balls, and those
which are as large, but which are not
solid, and all the more deadly for not
being being so, as the interior is filled
with smaller ones, each one of which at
the proper time starts out on its own ac-
count with rowing commission to In
terview anybody or anything that stands
in its way. The cutlass, used in the old
fashioned hand to hand fights, when
''boardersn were repealed in that way,
are there, with the old muskets, which
did the repelling at long range, and some
of them have history--one of the rifle
muskets, for instance, having served in
the Russian army during the Crimean
war, and perhaps might be one of those
which impeded the progress of the "six
hundred who charged onwardo at
Balaklava Our own '1ate unpleasant
ness'' is wildly recalled by the presence
of the stern part OF the "Kearsage, y
with the solid-shot still in the ragged
hole, for which the gunners of the Ala
bamaN are TO be blamed. In marked CON
trast to the metallic Titens, Of which
mention was made before, is the model
of PARROT gun which modestly stands
in the rear of its big brother; yet, small
as it is, it can bite as well as bark.
While these things are usually viewed
as the enginery Of war, the idea forces
itself upon the mind that the constantly
increasing destructive power with which
they are being endowed is gradually
transforming them into the most effec-
tive enginery of Peace, and that the
knowledge of what they can do will pre-
vent the necessity for doing it.
