What Congress Costs.

There are just 401 members of the
House and of the Senate, and to wait
upon them and run errands and hold
open the doors as they pass in and out,
and carry the cards of their callers and
take care of the thousands of bills they
put in they have employed about 400
people, who are paid the snug little sum
of 1864, 900 for doing SO. Every mem-
ber has one employe, and for the service
of the same there is paid an average of
about 81, 300 each. The snug little sum
of $3.50, 900 is required to pay the SAL
aries of the Senators, and for the COM
pensation of the members of the House
81, ,695, 600 is to be provided, and this
brings the salaries of our National law
makers to a total OF over 81, 2,000, 600 per
wear. It costs little less than $780, 900
per session to pay the mileage of the
members, and the country pays $4,000
to purchase the stationery for members
and officers of the House alone in any
one session. The Treasury pays s52, 900
for reporting the debates, whether Con-
gress sits for one month or for twelve,
as the official reporters, like most OF the
clerks, are paid by the year, though
they seldom do more than twelve
months work in the twenty-four
months that make up a Congressional
term. - Washi,s0ta, Letter.

FiETEEN-MILE GUNS.
The Most Marvellous Thing Yet Attempted
in Gunnery.

in Gunnery.
Some important experiments have
oeen made at the Shoeburyness school
of gunnery i'll high-angle firing. A
London correspondent writes: Probably
no step of recent years is likely to lead
to ogreater results, for if the experiment
should be repeated with the same sue
cess, it Is undeniable that war ships
will have to be as fully protected on
their decks as they now are on their
broadsides. The experiments were
made with the 9-inch or 23-centimeter
gun used as howitzer. An elevation
of 81 degrees was given and battering
charges wepe used with Palliser shells.
Out of four shots three fell within a
space of 500 feet by 80 feet, represent
ing the deck of first-class iron-clad,
and the range attained was II miles!
Now, if it be really possible three times
out of four, or for that matter once out
of four times, to throw 9-inch shell
upon the deck of a ship in midchannel
between Dover and Calais, another
proof will have been given that in the
tedious duel between gun and armor
the gun has much the best of it. What
is very important, too, is that the heavy
charges and the high angle did not
strain either gun or carriage in the
least, and one of the officers present
has said that he believed the gun
would stand 45 degrees of elevation
without injury, while with AZ degrees
range of Is miles would be secured.
Now, at 15 miles, ships ''hull down,
so it comes to this, that we can throw
9-inch she'll on to the deck of a shiI
before we can seeit! Surely this is the
most marvellous thing yet attempted il
gunnery, which of later years has beer
SO fruitful in surprises. --A. d N Reg
