She Takes a Trip Outside and Re-
turns to Her Anchorage.

down from Mare Island on Wednesday and
anchored in the stream off Clay-street
Wharf. hoisted her anchor at $50 o'clock

Heads on cruise to try her engines, the
Naval Board of Inspectors being on board.
AT o'clock in the evening she returned to
port and dropped anchor in her old posi-
ton.
The Charleston will remain in port to-day
and On Saturday will start on cruise down

The Charleston's main battery consists of
ten 6-inch breech-loading rifles throwing
proJectile of 100 pounds; two are mounted
on the forward barbette, two in the after,
the other six being broadside guns, three on
slue, In projecting sponsors. The ex-
treme range of these guns is six miles, but
the elevation that can be obtained on ship
board makes 1t about four miles or a little
over. The secondary battery consists of
Jour 6-pounders, rapid-fire rifles. six Hotch-
KISS revolving cannon and four GatlIngs.
There are ports for four aboVe-water tor
pedo guns or launching tubes, with which
the Charleston will eventually be fitted, but
winch nave not as yet been forwarded from
the Atlantic States, where they were con-
structed.
The 6-inch breech-loading rife cartridges
are composed of powder whose grains look
like iron nuts, and are made up by piling
the grains one on top of the other so that
the hole in the center will be in the same
line all the way through, in order to allow
the flame to go from the ignited grains at
the, base all the way through the charge
and start the ignition at all points Of the
cartridge at the same time. The grains are
built up on forms. wire running through
the grains, keeping them in place. a bag
Is then drawn over the grains and the wire
| removed. The bag is strengthened by
means of Hercules BRAID; if it were not
the weight would burst the cloth. This bag
is developed in a copper cylinder and her.
metically sealed. The cylinder has lid on
each end and ball to carry it by. When
the cylinder comes on deck from the maya
zine the lid of the tie-end of the bag is re-
moved and the case inserted in the gun the
other end is then pulled off and the rammer
shoves the charge home and out of the cyl
inder. The weight of the cartridge is fifty
pounds, and it consists of about 600 grains
Of powder. The grain is of an octagonal
form, IA inches in length and l inch in di-
ameter, and in its rusty brown color and
shape, with the hole through the center,
looks more like an iron nut than a grain of

SUGGESTIONS FOR THE SEASON,
Medical journal

Medical Journal
Be specially careful of draughts and sudden
changes.
Do not overwork. OF what use is wealth without
health?
Keep your feet dry, but do not wear Overshoes all
the time
Remember that the pores OF your skin, when In
health, are always open, and that closing them
causes sickness.
Dress warmly, but not heavily. Wooden clothing
that permits the exhaations of the body to escape
is the best.
Eat strengthening and hearty, but not too much
greasy food. 1t is mistake suppose that fat food
contains the most vitality.
III you feel chilly at any time take drink OF pure
whisky at once. Dufy's Pure Malt is the purest and
best ana has the highest recommendations.
DO not call the doctor for every slight ailment II
you nave cold feel depressed and lack appetfte
and vgor, you need something to tone and build M
the system. Nothing will do this so readily as the
