How Big Fellow Tumbled Overheard
and Lost His Teeth.

How Big Fellow Tumbled Overheard
and Lost His Teeth.
An amusing accident happened one
day last week to a participant in sail
ing party at Bar Harbor, the true in
wardnnss for which is even yet un-
known to the other members except
one, says the New York World. There
were four couples. Among them was
a charming young widow whose little
boy was kept carefully in the back
ground. Her escort was big, brawny,
good-natured fellow, for all the world
like the ideal man the lorn woman
would cling to. The boat ran consid-
cradle distance out, and then the happy
pairs nestled closer to each other, con-
versation Jagged and became half
whispered. The widow and her beau
were in the shadow of the sail. A gust
OF wind caused the craft to roll and in
stantly a heavy splash startled the ex-
cursionists from their reverie. The
big fellow had fallen overheard. He
was fished out, but the sudden morose-
aess which he had apparently ac-
luired in the water made him a
veritable damper on the company and
the party was headed toward the
shore. The unfortunate took the ex-
press north the next day. The widow,
learning he had gone, told friend in
great confidence and with many bushes
that the poor man was just about to
kiss her when the boat rocked, and in
his excitement his false teeth became
loose and sank in the sea. She knew
it, for she saw them flash in the moon.
light ere they disappeared forever.

that will be completed by the end of the
year 1892 is nine in1h, five l0-inch and
two Pinch guns, the total cost of which
will amount to $4,000. Besides this
there will be considerable additional work
done on other guns in various stages Of
construction.
The l6.inch gun. when completed. will
be brought to Sandy Hook and tested as
to the type. This monster will fire 1000
pounds Of powder and projectile weigh
ing over one ton. 1t will be 4915 feet
long and weigh l25 tons. It's estimated
muzzle penetration in iron viii be four
feet and its maximum range about fifteen
miles. Owing to the limitations o weight
and available space aboard ship tae heavy
guns will not exceed 10 inches in diameter
of bore This objection, however, does
not apply to the land defense, and it is
wise to possess guns not only equal in
power to any the attack can bring for
ward, but superior.
Each of these large guns before the type
IS accepted will be given a thorough test
ing for range, penetrability and durability
before others of a similar kind are built.
All of these will come under the fortihca-
ton act of March 3, 1888, In which con-
gress provided for the establishment of a
mixed board of army and naval officers
and civilians with the secretary Of war as
president.
