A Carbonic Acid Gas Gun.

NJ. Gerard, French inventor, ha
produced a gun which shoots, not by tn,
aid Of villainous saltpetre, but by con
densed carbonic acid gas. You pull ,
trigger, one drop of the condensed gas en-.
ters the chamber OF the gun. It Is in.
stautly reconverted into gas, and the pres.
sure drives out the bullet with q velocity
continually accelerated until 1t leaves ths
muzzle. Mr.. Gerard claims that yos
can fire without stopping to reload, 300
bullets, one after the other, with the car
bonic acid condensed in q small cylinder,
twelve inches long. There il no fash,
no report, no smoke, no recoil, and NJ
heat. Invisible death can be rsined out
upon the enemy at 1900 yards range,
without any sign being afforded him oi
the position from whence the bullet,
come. The gas necessary to propel th,
800 bullets costs one penny. 1t is per
fectly safe against accidental explosion,
and is proof against FIRE aud water. u
the experiments justify the claims Of the
inventor, gln powder will join the bow

New York Central Strike Far fron
Settled.
The strike at Albany At present seems far
nom settled, Al several recent conflicts bc-
tween the strikers and Pinkcrton's men
prove.
The Van woert street crossing Of the New
York Central, at Albany, was the scene Of
the first disturbance. A freight came down
the graie from West Albany. Upon the top
Of every second car was q Pinkerton guard
with double barrelled shot gun, which was
pointed msnacingly At the crowd. A. the
train went BY the crossing one Of the Pinker-
ton men discharged his revolver at the crowd.
The ball struck Richard Dwyer. aged 10, in
the LEFT hip, end be fell TO the ground groan-
ing with pain. When some one picked him
up the ground was found TO be dyed crimson
with the boys blood. He was borne TO Ut.
Peters Hospital.
Like an avalanche, the mob Of bystanden
were upon the detective. His revolver and
club were wrenched from his hands and he
was numerically pounded. When Patrol
men Finn and Burns reached the spot the
unfortunate and bleeding man was held
against tree by the excited mob, some Of
whom were hoarsely calling for rope with
which to lynch him. At the station house
he gave the name Of James Hatton, and
claimed = residence In New York.
A little later another freight passed Van
Woert street, going south. Pinkerton men,
armed to the teeth with rifles, revoivers and
clubs, were on top. The train was lust en-
tering upon the bridge when number Of
shots rang out. the frearms being aimed
Into \ crowd Of about hundred men stand.
Ing on Lower Lumber street discussing the
strike.
Over 100 yards away, TO the north Of the
bridge, Mrs. Thomas Hogan was standing
In front Of her rcsidence. A shot from 3
Pinkerton gun struck her on the inner side
Of the left thigh, and she ran into the house,
crying with pain. The last case b q very
poaitive example OF the reckless way In
which the Pinksrton mon handle their arms.
Five Pinkerton men arrested werc ar
raigned In police court and four were admit

costs more than half as much again to
ship goods from New York to valpa-
raiso as 1t docs from Liverpool or Ham
burg, while II frequently happens that
the merchant In Chilli will receive his
bills Of ladiug two or three months be-
fore he gets his goods. The cost Of
freight by steamer from New York to
Valparaiso via Panama Is S34 per ton ;
heavy goods via Hamburg, $22, and via
Liverpool, e22. Freight shipped from
Liverpool, London, Glasgow, Bordeaux

figures are explanatory Of much that Is

The details Of the plans Of the three ssea-

under this years naval appropriation bill,
have been arranged.
The battle ships are to cost a 0OO, 900 each.
This sum does not include the armament or
the premiums that may be paid for increased
speed. They will carry the heaviest armor
and the most powerful ordinance. Their
construction means further encouragement

New firms are coming TO the front each
year with more or less interest In steel ship
building. New England has already pro-
duced two firms and may have . great con-
cern In these latest vessels.
The machinery designed by Engineer-in.
Chief George W. Melville, us. n, chief Of

twin screw, vertical inverted cylinder, triple
expansion engines Of 5000 I. H. p, under
forced draught, and 1000 !. H. p. under

Every approved device adding to the
health Of the crew, the safety Of the ship and
the efficiency In battle win be fitted. Each
battle ship will carry $50 men, including q
