and so every point within the length and
breadth OF the ditch may be struck By ball.
1t is Only necessary, therefore, to modify
the present five-6arreled Hotchklss reyolv-
ing cannon by giving to the rifiing of each
barrel different twist, and this Is done as
follows:
Barrel No 1-One turn in 80 inches.
Barrel No. 2-One turn in 81 inches.
Barrel No. 3-One turn in 81 inches.
Barrel No. 4-0ne turn in 1873 inches.
Barrel No. 5-One turn in 260 inches.
While the foregoing may be regarded as
the standard gradati0nS the variations in
twist of ritling will depend upon the height
of the gun above the ditch and the range
within which it must be effective. Two
men may work the gun. one turning the
crank and the other feeding the cartridges.
The carriage on which the gun is mounted
is of iron. with parallel side frames, and the
effort of recoil is resisted by anchOring the
carriage with picketS and by friction brakes
on the hubs of the wheels. A special de-
vice is provided for feeding the gun with
great rapidty at critical moments. To CON-
plete its destructive character the projectiles
employed are canister, the metallic cartridge
being charged with LIS ounces OF powder
and joined in a metal bOXcontaining twenty
four hard lead balls, each II of an inch in
diameter, arranged in eight tiers of three
balls each and with the interstices filled
with sawdust. The normal rate of firing Is
sixty rounds minute. or 1850 dangerous

simultaneously subjected to a rapid fire.
Delay at this moment, when the heavy guns
are no longer available, may be fatal to the
defenders. 1t is to meet this emergency
that the flank defense gun has been de-
signed for use in Notifications.
The principle upon which this new
weapon depends is as follows: If from a
rifled gun a round of case shot be fired the
canister containing balls of equal shape and
size svmmetrcally disposed about the axis
of the projectile, and if this canister case
takes the rihing of the bore, remaining
whole until the instant of leaving the
muzze, the balls will spread in cone
whose angle at the apex depends upon the
twist of the rlfling.
The more rapid the twist the greater will
be the angle of the cone of dispersion and
the wider and longer the area over whichthe
balls will spread. The intersection of this
cone with the plane of the ditch will be an
eliipse, and the dangerous Zone-the area
upon witch the balls fall-will be Of the form

the apex of one crescent toward the gun and
the other pointing in the opposite direction.
If now another canister be fired from a
second barrel, the twist of the rtling being
less rapid. the balls will fall upon an area
of less length than the first and wholly inside
ii, hitting points that would otherwise es-
cape. Similarly, If third barrel be rified

Rubio does not visit his distant fiOcks on
foot as did the good Father Salvierderra In
Ranona's day. 10 be sure, the country Is
greatly changed sine then, and walk
from San Buenaventura to the Camulos
would now have far less romance than in
the time of Franciscan rule. Now the
pedestrian is confined to dusty highways
between cultivated fields, whereas Bride
path then traversed the forty miles through
a wilderness Of mustard, slender and brittle
in stalk, filmy and yellow in blossom and
honey-sweet in fragrance. A poet or re-
ligieuse must have found fascination In
threading his way through this yielding net
work of branch and bloom, touching only
smooth stems and seeing naught but blue
pools Of tie sky above the golden cloud that
envelOped him.
The Temescal Rancho, on which the
Camulos stands, became in 1861 the prop
erty of noted Spanish gentleman, Don
Ygnacio Del Vale. He held various posi-
tions of honor in this State. and his death,
IN 1880, was the occasion OF great sorrow 10
all who knew him.
His widow, who still survives him, has
since devoted herself to the supervising OF
the estate and the training of her children.

proud old family. The two daughters, Mrs.

health of her mother. has assumed very
largely the charge of the rancho and is a
capable and efficient, as well as charming

1t is hard to believe, but one Of the

A RUSSIAN ROMANCE.
Result Of a Fathers Yielding to His Daughters
Wishes.

There died the other day in Russia the re-
nowned Prince Jussnapow. who was worth
several hund red millions of rubles. He had
been for many years widower. with two
beautiful daughters, of whom the younger
died three years ago. but he had no male
heir to take his title and great fortune. In
1882. the elder daughter. while at ball, was
seriously eDamOred of a handsome young
Lieutenant, CONFERENCE.-The lstnn, who
also paid very great attention 10 the young
Princess. Blu t without thinking of the posi-
Dility of marriage with her, he being
poor Lieutenant and she the richest heiress
in Russia. Two days after the bail the
young lady went to her father and told him
of her love, adding that she could not and
would not live without Count SumOrokow.
The Prince at first was very much sur
prised at hearing this, as he had counted on
a different husband for his daughter, who,
the year before, had even refused to wear
the crown of Bulgaria. However, cOnceiv-
ing that he could do nothing in this case, he
promised his daughter his consent if the
Counts previous life would not hinder a
connection with him. The result OF investi-
cations showed that the Count was, at all
events, nobleman, and the old Prince
thereupOn visited him in his modest dwell
ing. The Prince spoke very openly to him,
told him that he had made a deep impression
on his daughter, who was of the opinion
that she had made an impression on the
Count. II such was the case, the Count
would be very welcome in the Jussnapow
palace The Count Immediately followed
the Prince TO the palace After short
time the wedding took place, and one can
scarcely find happier couple in all Russia.
When the old Prince saw his daughters
happiness and the noble character OF his
son-in-law he requested aud got permission
from the Emperor to adopt him, and now,
after the death of the Prince. the once poor
Lieutenant has the title of the Prince of
Jussnapow and the immense Inheritance of
several millions in bonds, much real estats
in excellent condition and the family palace,
containing almost incalculable riches in
gold, silver, jewels and works of art. AS
