A Great Gun Factory.

The Washington Gun Foundry since it
was started has turned out about fifty
six-inch guns. The weight of a six-inch
gun is about 10, 800 pounds. Each one
represents about three months labor in
the factory alone. The projectile used
in a six-inch gun weighs exactly 100
pounds. This is propelled by charge
of powder of fifty pounds.
The weight of the eight-inch gun is
q, 600 pounds. The weight of the pro-
jectiIe for this gun Is $50 pounds and
the weight of the powder charge is 125
pounds. In the Bureau of Ordnance cir
cular the general principle is laid down
that the amount Of powder used in all
service charges is one-half the weight of
the projectile.
The gun foundry has constructed
three ten-inch guns. The weight of this
gun is so, 900 pounds. 1t Is capable of
sending a shell weighing 500 pounds
nearly eight miles.
The proposed sixteen-inch gun-or, as
it Is better known, the 110-ton gun-wil
take at least two years to build. This
ordnance monster will be forty-three
feet long and will send a projectile
weighing 1000 pounds more than ten
miles. When this gun is completed it
will be placed aboard the coast defence
vessel now building at San Francisco.
The latter ship is under contract to be
completed in three years.
The capacity of the gun foundry when
everything is in good working order has
not yet been estimated. It has been
stated that the capacity for the factory
was ninety guns at once and that a COM
pleted gun could be turned out every
day. Commander Folger thinks, how
ever, that when the plant is in thorough
working order fifty guns can be in the
course of construction at once.
The six-inch guns cost on an average
about $1,000, the eight, ten and twelve in
increasing proportions, while the no
ton gun will cost over $50, 000.-Nsa0

Among the native blacks of Austria
liza an emphatic sign of joy at meeting
again, says the author of "Among Can

lamentation on account of the arrival of
strangers to the camp. l was frequently
surprised at hearing shrieks of this sort
in the evenings, and found upon exani-
nation that they were uttered in honor of
some stranger who had arrived in the
course of the day. This peculiar saluta-

stranger. The highest token of joy on
such occasions is shown by cutting their

A Find Of Flint.

Year by year fresh traces of the earth's
early inhabitants are being revealed.
One of the most important Of recent dis
coveries is that of Armand Vire, who, in
a French valley through which runs the
the Lunain River, has come across the
remains of at least ten prehistoric settle
ments. The immense quantity of flint
implements and refuse at one place, near
the village of Lorre-le-Bocage, some
sixty miles south of Paris, seems to justify
the conclusion that there must have been
located a prehistoric manufacturing vii
lage. the flint was worked into various
shapes used by the primitive people ofthe
early Stone Age. Some Of the imple-
ments are of types hitherto unknown to
science, including very small stone
hatchets, which are supposed to have
been funeral or votive offerings, and
flint hooks from one TO three inches
long, the smaller probably having been
designed as fish hooks.-Nsio KaEk-IS-&s

Nothing Wasted in Ivory Manufacture

Almost as much care is taken IN the
manufacture of ivory to prevent waste as
there is in the working of the precious
metals. lining IS lost. The skill of
.,Irner shapes the cuttings and cor
&c nrs so that they can be put to the best
use. Even the scrapings and sawdust are
not thrown away. Such trade-refuse is
converted into charcoal, and forms the
well-known ''ivory black" of the artist;
and, most amazing of all, is even boiled
into Jelly which is said to equal calf's
foot. London is a great centre of the
ivory industry Billiard balls are, of
course, turned out by the thousand.
Then many small workers in brushes,
mirrors, boxes, combs, etc, carry on the
trade in their own homes. They buy a
tooth, or part of one, from the wholesale
dealer, use such part of it as they may
require for their special branch, and DIS
pose of the remainder to a brother crafts
man. Many Germans are engaged in
this work, but in these artistic days it is
strange to hear that they do not obtain
much encouragement for "arving and the
higher forms of their industry.

Out of darkness, out of rest, out OF
strange communion with her mother in
another world, Phoebe foated back to life
again. A woman sat beside her and
famed her
''She's all right now," said a voice Of
the family-doctor order. "only faint

Phoebe smoothed her dress and sat up
on the chintz couch and looked at the
speaker.
''YOu subscribed for my book" she
said.
''But before that, " said the man. 'eBe-

hotel knows Peggy"
By next morning Phoebe was well
again, but Captain Barton insisted on see
ing her home.
''What did pa sayl" she asked. "Are
you sure he was not worried2"
''He said, replied the Captain, with
smile, "that girls are never to be depended
on, and that if he had had a son he never
would have cut up such pranks.
Phoebe felt the tears rise to her eyes.
"The old gentleman is very much
broken" said Captain Barton. "He does
want son as well as daughter; don't you
think so, Phebel"
When he said that, he looked like the
Billy Barton of the long-gone times.
A few months afterward he asked the
same question, adding:
"Won't I do2"
And so it came to pass that Phoebe, in
stead of ending her life as a solitary
spinster, married man who loved her
truly. The mortgage was paid off the
old place, and the farm was no longer
managed on shares. And the old gentle
man, what with freedom from care, and
luxurious living, grew stronger and
brighter in every way; much fonder of
his daughter, too, as in the olden time.
So that one day, when Phoebe Barton
came down to breakfast, and sat waiting
for those other two, and thinking of the
day with which this story begins, she
laughed softly to herself, and declared:
''And I'm really the happiest woman

WOMAN'S WORLD.
PLEASANT LITERATURE FOR
FEMININE READERS.


Near EastaHago, a small station on the
Georgia Pacific Railroad, Miss Betty
Emmons was walking along the track
when she discovered that the spikes had
been drawn and rail removed. just
as she made the discovery Miss Emmons
heard the roar of an approaching pas
senger train, which IS running at high
speed. She knew lie train would be
wrecked if she did not stop it, and she
did not hesitate an instant She wore
red flannel petticoat, and hastily tearing
it off, ran toward the approaching train,
waving the garment across the track.
The engineer saw the signal in time to
stop the train. When the passengers
learned of their narrow escape and Miss
Emmons's GOODNESS they at once made up
a handsome purse and presented it to
her.-N7o York Telegram.

Ate Her Twins.

A distressing case Of infanticide has
created much commotion in Philadel-
phia, particularly among the children.
Mrs. Bob, who was supposed, up to
Christmas Day, to be one of the gentlest
and proudest OF mothers, is found be-
yond a doubt to have made a holiday
feast off the tender bodies Of her baby
twins.
Though the case is of such a painful
nature, 1t is not likely shat the local au-
lhorities win take action, but if any more
baby leopards come to the Geological
Gardens they will not be SO entirely con-
ided to the care Of their mother.
Dan and Spot, the infant children of
Mrs. Bob, have been objects of much in
terest at the Zoo, and crowds Of children
have been accustomed to 90 daily to
watch the cute little creatures at play.
On the day before Christmas, however,
the little leopards did not appear, and on
Tuesday they were still invisible, while
Mrs. Bob, the mother, gave distinct evil
dcnce Of q guilty and uncomfortable con-
science. The keepers investigated and
found in the large box, which had been
the dwelling place Of the babies, nothing
but few bloody scraps Of fur
1t is not ut ali unusual for animals in
captivity to neglect and even destroy
their offspring. This is especially true
of the leopard. Their hatred of re-
straint generally induces them to kill
their cubs rather than have them grow
up in captivity. When leopard is
born it Is generally removed from the
cage at once, as the mother usually de-
yours it Immediately after birth. Mrs.
Bob seemed to be so proud of her young
sters, and gave promise Of becoming such
a gentle mother, that this precaution was
neglected in the case Of Dan and Spot
