The Thurlow Gun.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The Star prints
the following: "It seems that the cast steel
pitch breech- loading rifle known as the
Thurlow gun. which apparently passed
the Government firing tests successfully
at Annapolis last week, is not going to
have such an easy victory over the hoped
or built up cannon after all. The official
report of the officer conducting the tests
mentioned certain defects discovered in
the bore of the gun that will probably give
ground for a final report adverse to its ac-
ceptance by the Government. They are
thought to be due to the gas bubbles that
formed during the casting process. Friends
of the cast steel gun are hopeful that the
defects noted will not cause the gun to be
rejected. The cast gun is greatly cheaper
than the other and takes about one.fourth
as long or less in con struction.

A New Car venti,ator.

A car ventilator combining lightness

to resist the heavy currents produced
by the cars rapid motion. has :long

Gently brought forward to meet this
want. and the value of which Is claimed
to have been fully proved by numer-
Gus tests. q collar is fitted in the side
OF the car, which is mounted to turn
the inner end of a cylinder having caps
on its inner and outer ends; the inner
end OF the .ventilator has slotted
register. with regulating rod and keep
or extending within convenient reach
OF an operator. Two small pipes lead
toward the outer end of the ventilat-
ing cylinder. first diverging and then
converging at an angle, and open into
the side OF large pipe. the outer end
OF which has faring mouth. the in
ner end having a collar receiving the
tapering nozzle of q smaller pipe,
which has an outward faring mouth.
With this construction, the register
being open. the air currents passing
outward from the car meet at an angle
at the outer end of the small pipe,
forming a fan-like stream. completely
surrounding the tapering nozzle,
through which air is passing according
to the speed of the train. and thus in
ducing very strong draft through the
ventilator.-N. Y. Sun.

Kansas Salt.


The salt of Kansas belongs to various geo.
logic periods. and is found under q great part of
the surface of the State. Many deep wells east
OF the sixth principal meridian have their
waters strongly saline from deposits of the Car
boniferous period. In Northern-middle Kansas
there are extensive marshes that yield the
saline inhlorescence in large quantity. and
springs that yield strong brine. On the Indian
border OF Comanche County the plains of the
Camarron become covered with thick, whit
cake OF beautiful salt. The Great Spirit Spring
IN Mitchell County, is q natural artesian now
OF salt water, with other mineral Ingredients.
Within the last year the prospector's drill
seeking coal ana gas, has found rock salt In
beds I. ON ten to one hundred feet thick in the
counties Of Ellsworth, Rice, Reno, Kingman
and Harper. The southwest extension of the
salt marshes of Northern Kansas is due north
OF Ellsworth; SO that we have salt belt
straight across the State, with some easterly
extension at the north and considerable
widening west in the southern part l. e. south
OF the Arkansas river.
In 1873 in Meade County, just south of what
is now Meade Center, an area OF the prairie
suddenly sank down. leaving nearly vertical

There is now in it . sea-sreen salt pool, 3 feet
