Council last evening, and only needs
the signature Of the Mayor to consl-

A CAST-STEEl TERROR.

The Thurlow High-Powered Cast-Steei
Gun Lately Tested at Annapolis.
The Thurlow cast-steel gun was built by
the Standard Steel Casting Company, OF
Thurlow, Pa, for the purpose OF demon
strating the practicability Of making high
powered rife guns Of large caliber OF cast
: steel
About year ago, says the Chicago Trib-
: une, Congress appropriated considerable
sum for the manufacture and test OF cast
steel guns.
This gun was tested February 2 at An
napolis The test consisted in firing ten
rounds of full charge as rapidly as the gun
s.could be loadedsand discharged.
The result was entirely satisfactory, ten
rounds having been fired without the slight
lest accident, and as far as can be seen by
the inspections which have been made the
iigun has stood the test almost as well as
the high powered steel guns built by the
navy.
y, The gun was gagged before and after the
trial This revealed the fact that it had
been enlarged slightly just in advance Of
/ the seat of the projectile
). The amount of this enlargement was about
one-seven-thousandth Of an inch in its great
est part
:; This is not sufficient to render the gun IN
:; serviceable, and is but little, If any, greater
than would occur in a builtup steel gun. 1t
2 shows, however, that the elastic strength OF
''the gun had been about reached.
The gun was cast last summer OF open
hearth steel and afterward annealed.
the turning and finishing was done at the
: Washington gun foundry under the dlrec-
} ton Of the navy, and was in all respects
/ similar to the s1x-inch guns built by the
Navy Department.
8 The general dimensions of the gun are as
| follows: Length, sixteen and one-half feet;
, diameter of the bore, six inches; weight,
J IL, 100 pounds.
The charges used for testing it were 100
pound proiectiles and fifty pounds Of pow
der. This loading gives velocity OF the
; shot on leaving the muzzle Of the gun OF 2,OOO
feet q second.
! The pressure developed by this loading
would be equal to fifteen tons on every
square inch of the chamber. This pressure
the gun seems 70 have successfully stood.
With the greatest elevation that the gun
carriage will admit Of the range ofthe piece
~ viii be about six miles.
AS compared with the high-powered steel
hoop guns-which are built of tube run
ming the length Of the gun and supported
on the outside by shrinking on two or more
layers of steel hoops-lt may be said that
this gun is heavier in weight by ton.
While it is of not so expensive q construc-
ton as the built-up guns now in service in
the navy, it is, on the other hand, not so
strong. And the extra ton necessary TO Sc
cure the strength that the Thurlow gun has

Seven Miles from the Sea.

Seven Miles from the Sea.
Pisa, in Italy, famous for its leaning
tower, is called pisa la Morte'' by
the Italians; its commerce, once
splendid. has been gradually taken
from it by Leghorn, and it has declined
In population and Importance until it

travellers from an over the world, who
come to study its splendid architeo-
tural monuments of the middle ages
and enjoy its delightful climate.
The prosperity of Pisa has. indeed.
received SO great blow that the city
is in state of bankruptcy. The Ital-
ian public was lately shocked by a
statement that the town house or city
hall of Pisa was likely to be levied
upon by the city's creditors to satisfy
their debt
More lately still came the news OF
another and still even more startling
suggestion. Que of the members of
the municipal council of Pisa proposed
lottery to raise funds to discharge
the debt, and, in order to offer a suffi-
cient tempting prize to attract invest
ments from all over the world, he sug-
gested that the famous leaning tower
should be the first prize. To possess
as ones private property the leaning
tower of Pisa which has stood for
more than seven hundred years, would.
this Pisan councillor thought, be dis
tinction which all the world would seek
after. He did not indicate what he
supposed the owner of the tower could
do with it
Fortunately, this original project did
not meet with favor from the Pisan
council. and some other way must be
found to meet the city's difficulty. Pisa
is still the center of rich farming dis
trict, and its university is one of the
best iii italy.
The decline of Pisa is largely due to
a singular circumstance. In medieval
times it possessed fine harbor, Porto
PisaDo, at the mouth of the River
Arno. With the cutting away of the
forests upon the Apennines vast guam
titles of earth no longer held in place
by the protecting trees, were washed
TO the plains below.
This wash gradually filed up the
hsrbor of Pisa In 1442 its depth had
been reduced to four feet; a century
later only row-boats could enter it; it
WAS soon abandoned forever. There
are now no traces of this old harbor
and even its site is disputed. Pisa's
distance from the sea IS now about
seven niles.-Cor. Chicago Mail.

weight was not so important as it is in the
armament of naval vessel.
The test OF the Thurlow gun was that re-
quired by the statute. Owing to the fact
that the gun was covered on the side and
top by heavy timbers for the protection Of
the people on the ground and to retain the
fragments in case of bursting, it was i'm
possible to fire it as rapidly as would have
been done in open field
Ten rounds were firedin nineteen minutes
'and eight seconds, or about seven minutes
longer than is naturally required for firing
a like number of rounds from navy gun
mounted on navy carriage.
This difference was, however, slightly in
favor of the gun, as it did not heat so fast.
The founders of the Pittsburgh gun, which
failed so signally, are about to undertake
the construction Of second gun built ex-
actly like their first, bat the process of an
healing is to be more carefully done, as they
attribute the failure of their gun TO the
want of sufficient annealing.
This process in all constructions of steel
that are to receive a violent shock is abso-
lutely Indispensable to relieve the strains
which are set up in the metal asst cools in

MOST of the cases cured by Ayers

Talks on Farm TOpics-..NO. 3.

This is an age of machinery. In
every industry production is cheapened
by its use. Too many farmers pay out
money for hired help that had better
be paid for improved tools. How many
farmers here in Vermont will spend
week or two in the busiest season of
the year furrowing out their corn
ground and then manuring in the hill?
They will drop forkfuls of manure in
the furrows-manure that has lain in
heaps in the field for weeks or months
then cover the manure and plant the
corn by hand. This is a costly way to
plant corn. The modern way is to
spread the manure in the fall, winter
or early spring, either with manure
spreader, when the ground is bare, or
by hand on the snow, when there is not
so much work as in. the spring. Then
the planting is done by horse-planter,
which drops little fertilizer each side
of the hill, mixing it with the soil, and
which does better work than can be
done by hand, planting at the rate of
eight or ten acres day. The corn
can be planted in drills or check-rows,
and the amount of corn and fertilizer
dropped can be accurately gagged. A
hand-planter is a great help and does
good work, but horse-panter will do
better, and either will often pay for
itself in one season.
Again. how many farmers will cult
vate their corn with an old-fashioned
cultivator, the teeth of which are worn
to stubs, and then spend days in hoe
ing, while other farmers harrow their
corn till it is too high for the harrow
and then use steel frame horseshoe
never carrying a hand-hoe into the
field, and very likely getting the best
crops of corn2 But all can not use a
harrow. In strong soil it will injure
the corn, and is out of the question on
a side-hill where the rows do not run
directly up and down. Stones are a
great bother, but somebody must till
stony land, and the best way is to dc
the best one can, and keep experiment.
ing till the best WAYS are found. i

No farmer need fear to use Planet, Jr.

Indigestion

Indigestion
is not only distressing complaint, OF
L itself, but, by causing the blood to
become depraved and the system en-
feebed, is the parent of innumerable
maladies. That Ayers Sarsaparilla
is the best cure for Indigestion, even
when complicated with Liver Complaint,
is proved by the following testimony
from Mrs. Joseph Lake, of Brockway
Centre, Mich.:-
oliver complaint and indigestion
made my life a burden and came near
ending my existence. For more than
four years suffered untold agony, was
reduced almost to skeleton, and hardly
had strength to drag myself about All
kinds of food distressed me, and only
the most delicate could be digested at
all Within the time mentioned several
physicians treated me without giving re-
lief Nothing that took seemed to do
any permanent good until commenced
the use of Ayers Sarsaparilla, which
has produced wonderful results. Soon
after commencing to take the Sarsapa-
rilla | could see an improvement in my
condition. My appetite began to return
and with it came the ability to digest
all the food taken, my strength i'm
proved each day, and after a few
months of faithful attention to your
directions, 1 found myself well
woman, able to attend to all household
duties. The medicine has given me q
