suggestively termed, insidiously sap the

Nsw orananse Proving Ground.

In little more than two months the
naval ordnance proving ground opposite
Annapolis, where for many years past
the great guns for the navy have been
tried, will be practically abandoned and
the guns will thereafter be tested at the
new proving grounds at Indian Head,
ON the Maryland side of the Potomac riv-
er. short distance below Mt. Vernon
Work on the new ground is progressing
very rapidly. Houses are being erected
and wharf is being built with railroad
running from the end of 1t to the gun
platform. A travelling crane will be err
ected on this road for handling the guns.
A large scow TO be used in the transpor-
tation of guns from the Washington ord
nance foundry to the proving grounds is
being built by Baker, Whitley 81 Co., of
Baltimore. One of the last events of
Importance at the Annapolis proving
grounds will be the comparative trial of
armor plates, which will take place some
time this fall 1t has been postponed to
await the arrival of one of the plates
brought from Cammell s. Co., of Shelf
field, England Soon after the arrival of
this plate the test will be made. There
has recently been completed at the naval
ordnance foundry in Washington spe-
cial six-inch gun, made expressly for
these tests. 1t is thirty-fve calibers in
length, being just two feet six inches
longer than the standard six-inch gun,
and is intended to give very high ini-
tial velocity to the projectile. 1t was
completed In fifty-five days, which is the
shortest time In which a six inch gun has
yet been turned out at the Washington
foundry. This gun will eventually form
part of the armament of one of the new
cruisers.

Costly War Implements.

Tens of thousands of pounds of capital
nave to be sunk ere single Ill ton gun
IAN be manufactured. A particular
reason for its being costly to make is that
It's production consumes great amount
If time. To build such gun takes as
ong as to build first class cruiser. Yet
another reason lies in the fact that there
ire many and inevitable failures, which
entail great waste of labor. if not of ma
;eTial.
The III ton guns, without their mount
ngs, cannot be produced or sold to the
government for much less than g15, 900
apiece, the 81 ton guns for less than
about 10000 or the 40 ton guns for less
;han e6,300, and the expense of firing
these guns, apart from the wear and tear
If the weapons, mountings and ships,
nay be Judged from the amount of pow
Ter and the weight of projectile used.
In the case of the III ton gun the full
powder charge is $50 pounds of slow
burning cocoa or $50 pounds of West
phalian brown prism, and the projectile
weighs / 800 pounds.
In the case of the 81 ton gun the full
powder charge of slow burning cocoa is
$50 pounds, while the projectile is of
$50 pounds weight. In the case OF the
Is ton gun the full charge of brown
orismatic powder is 295 pounds, and the
oroiectile weighs ia pounds. The esti-
mated cost of one round from the largest
gun is about ESQ, from the second about
ESQ and from the smallest about $50;
out this is the cost of powder, cartridge

Pecans and Almonds.

Pecans are largely grown in some sec
tions of our southern states. especially in
some portions of Texas there being large
groves of them. Many bushels of them
are marketed north, but the bulk are used
in cities nearer to where they are grown,
though they pay the growers handsomely.
The almond, the soft or paper shell of
commerce, is esteemed by all lovers of
nuts-in fact. stands at the head in point
of STABILITY and price. Our present sup
ply is all imported, though there is no rea-
son why its cultivation for market pur-I
poses could not be made profitable in some
portions OF the south. 1t is of the same,
general order as the peach, and is one of.
the most beautiful trees that grow, manyI
of them being grown in lawns on account
of its handsome foliage and beautifully
habits of growth, in ATTITUDES where it will
not fruit.
1t should flourish and fruit in any local
ity where the fig will do well, and wei
should be pleased to hear of plantations,I
at least experimental ones, being set out toI
try if we cannot produce our own supply
soon of this most luscious Of nuts.-Phila-I

Artificial Limbs.

The history of artificial limbs begins
with very remote times. We have evil
dences that the Romans and Greeks inn
provised some sort of substitute for the
limbs lost in battle and the vicissitudes Of
life. Herodotus tells of a prisoner who
amputated his own foot in order to free
himself from the shackle, after which he
escaped and returned to his friends, who
made him wooden foot. AS proof that
artificial limbs were used in ancient times
the relic on exhibition in the museum Of
the Royal College of Surgeons, London. is
shown
1t is thus described: Roman artificial
leg: the artificial limb accurately repre-
sents the form of the leg. It is made with
pieces of thin bronze, fastened by bronze
nails to wooden core. Two iron bars,
having holes at their free ends, are attached
to the upper extremity of the bronze.
quadrilateral piece of iron, found near the
position of the foot, is thought to give
strength to it. There was no trace of the
foot, and the wooden core had nearly
crumbled away The skeleton had its
waist surrounded by belt of sheet bronze,
edged with small rivets, probably used to
fasten u leather lining. Three painted
vases lay at the feet of the skeleton.
They belonged to about the year 300 b. c.
The upper third of this leg was hollow;
the lower two-thirds were filled with
wood. Interview in Cincinnati Times

How the Orator Told the Parson, Not
Over Politely, to Go 40 Sheoi.
Mr.. Purvis told characteristic story of
Wendell Phillips, who fought side by side
with him during the battle for emaEcipa-

the abolitioniS!s and had lowled down
and insulted several previous speakers.
Mr.. Phillips walked to the trent of the
platform and, scanning the angry faces in
front of him with a keen and fearless eye.
began:
"You scouudrels!''
Instantly there was a storm Of angry
bowls and curses, but when they ceased he
repeated, in louder voice
"You scoundrelsp'
Again the storm arose and again he re-
peated the term. The fourth time the
American admiration for fearlessness and
fair play asserted ITSELF and the balance OF
his speech was listened to in silence and
with respect
Another time Mr.. Phillips was in rail-
way car in which were 2 number of minis
tiers returning from convention. Among
them was Il man with loud, strident
voice, who was loudly declaiming against
the abolitionists, and especially against
Mr.. Phillips. He was talking at every ono
in the car, and finally shouted that he I'M
derstood that Mr.. Phillips was on board.
Calling the conductor he asked him to

listener.
The little man with the voice strobe up
the aisle to disrespectful distance, and
after striking an attitude the following
colloquy took place.

"Then why don't you go south and
preach your doctrine theres" shouted the
little minister.
AT that time" explained Mr.. Purvis, in
relating the incidents, ANY abolitionist
would have been lynched in the south"
Replying to the clergyman, Mr.. Phillips
