Tremendous Guns.

The first high-power gun of r.
inch calibre built in this country
was fired July Oath at the United
States proving ground on Sandy
Hook Point. The results, as ex-
pressed by the ordnance officers
present, were satisfactory from every
standpoint. They show that Amer
lean ordnance-making is equal to
the best in the world, and that the
sea-coast defences with American
guns can be made effective against
any iron. clads on the face Of the
ocean. This gun, which is steel
breech-loading rifle, was sent from
the National Foundry at Water
vliet. N. Y. To-day's tests were not
for the ordinary service charge,
which consists Of 44O pounds of
powder, but were conducted under a
reduced charge Of $50 pounds Ger
man brown prismatic powder and
a projectile weighing 1000 pounds.
When the..shot left the muzzle of the
great gun there was an explosion
that shook the very earth. AS the
heavy mass of steel cut its way
through the cross wires 200 feet
distant, it plowed it's way through
the water five miles to the eastward.
The test of July oath was an i'm
portant one in the history of heavy
ordnance in this country and shows
that American guns are equal, if
not superior, to any that can be
built abroad. The great Krupp
rifle of same calibre can only fire a
charge of 357 pounds of powder.
Under ordinary service conditions
the American gun can stand 44O
pounds and attain range of twelve
miles.

spective cages and fred the fuses.
AS soon as the fuses began to burn
they attracted the attention of both
animals, but in a widely different

ner and watched the proceedings
with distrustful and uneasy eye.
The tiger. on the contrary, advanced
to the burning fuse with firm step
and unflinching paw and began to
roll it over the floor, and when it
exploded beneath his very nose ne
did not finch, but continued his
examination until perfectly salts

Prohibition and Drunkenness.

Maine is the cradle of prohibition.
For years its Neal Dow Prohibition
law has been made more and more
stringent. Last winter the legisla-
ture, at the request of the prohibi-
tionis!s, made the law ironclad,
pper-bottomed, and so rigid in all
its provisions that it was claimed
to be perfect statute. The follow
ing extract from the Portland Ar
gus shows how it worked the Fourth
Of July last:
Strangers who visited Portland
the glorious Fourth were thunder
struck. They thought Portland was
city where prohibition prohibited,
but found that there were more
drunken men to the square foot than
in any city in the country. Wheth-
er the rum shops were all open for
the celebration, or whether the pock-
ct peddlers did the business, is not
for US to say. The fact remains that
there was more drunkenness in this
city Saturday than for many years.
The police were kept very busy, and
the hurry-up wagon was on the go
all day and night. No attention
was paid to simple or respectable
.(?) drunks, and only the vicious
and troublesome were taken. AS 1t
was, there were thirty-fve arrested
for abusing the ardent and locked
up in the cooler. Some OF these
were sent to the Jail to make room
for newcomers. One man died IN

What One Honest Boy Gained.

A score or more of cash boys en-
ployed in an uptown dry goods
store organized a strike about ten
days ago. They wanted an increase
of fifty ceEts week in their pay
and the abatement of two or three
obnoxious rules relative to fines.
The determination to strike was
unanimous, and each boy was taken,
as fast as circumstances permitted,
into the remotest corner Of the Gel
lar under the store and made to
''swear upon honor" that he would
not back out of the movement until
the objects sought were attained.
A day or two before the day fixed
for the strike mousing porter
caught three of them together in
the cellar, and his threats to report
them for attempting to steal fright
ened them into telling him their
secret. Utterly disregarding their
pleas to "keep still about it," the
porter went directly to the super
intendent and exposed the plot.
That very night all of the cash boy S
we're summoned before the super
intendent, after the store had been
closed. eff there is to be any strik-
ing in this store," said the superin-
tendent, Il propose to strike first:
Now l want every boy who is pledged
to this movement to step forward" "
Only one boy stepped forward, and
he proved to be the most industri-
Gus and trustworthy boy in the
store. Each of the other boys, be-
ing questioned in turn, denied any
completely in the proposed strike.
The superintendent was a shrewd
man. He soon ascertained all OF
the facts and found that the one
plucky boy proposed to stand by
his "strike oath" until "the objects
sought were attained"
"Oh, very WE'LL" said the super
intendent, dryly. "As you are the
only one on strike will concede to
you all you ask."-N. Y. Times.

FIGURES ABOUT WAISTS.
The American Ones Said to Be En-
tirely Too Small.

DR.. J. C. Kellogg of Battle creek,
Mich, spoke at the Washington
High School to the girls of the
school during his late visit recently.
He opened his remarks by announc-
ing that he was going to say some
very unpleasant things about young
ladies. Notwithstanding their good
looking faces, he said most of them
are crippled and deformed. The
doctor has devoted fifteen years to
the study of the human figure. He
has made measurements of the
Mexican, the Italian, German and
French peasants, and compared the
size of their waists with those of
American girls, and has come to the
conclusion that the average Amer
lean woman is deformed, that her
waist is too small for her body. He
had compared the waist measure
ment with the height, and, as re-
suit of 1900 measurements, found
that the average waist measurement
is only 80 per cent of the height.
The average waist of the American
woman is 24.6 inches. The waist
of the Venus de Milo is AZ per cent
of the height. With such a waist
as that woman could draw good
big breath.
The waist of a woman, he said,
ought to be larger than a mans,
because her liver is larger. He said
"a smaller heart but larger liver, -
but not pleasing the young ladies
by this remark, he added: "Only
in quantity; in quality it is other
WISE" The doctor said that those
organs which should be above the
waist line are SO pressed down by
tight clothing as to make women
deformed. He called particular at
tention to the fact that although a
woman doubled in weight the meas
urement of her waist didn't increase
at all.
While in Washington the last few
days DR.. Kellogg has measured the
waists of twelve little girls in pri-
vate school and found the smallest
waist was % inches. The average
was "a inches; one was 254 inches
and one 264 inches, and those
waists, he said, will become smaller
as the girls grow older. These
restrictions of the waist cause
many other deformities, such as
hollow chests, dropping and round
shoulders. DR.. Kellogg did not see
any reason why women shouldn't
be as strong as men. The doctor
spoke of the Swiss women who car
ry heavy burdens on their shoulders
up and down hills, and said that
they are among the healthiest wo-
men in the world. He showed by
diagrams that the same evils occa-
stoned in women by tight clothes
were to be found in men who wore
belts.-Commercial Advertiser.

An Opal Worth q Million.

The most famous opal in history
was that which was worn in ring
by the Roman Senator Nonius, in
the day of the triumvirate. Its size
equaled that of a medium-sized
hazel nut. Yet its beauty and brill
fancy rendered 1t marvel among
the dilettanti of Rome, especially
when it was known that the gold
smiths and money changers" had
set its value at 100000.
Mark Anthony made overtures to
Nonius for its purchase, intending,
it is thought, to present it to Cleo
patra. but the Senator refused to
part with it, and for fear that it
would be taken from him by sheer
force sought safety in flight. Here
history loses all trace of this fa-
nous gem, there being no record of
it's transference from Nonius to any
of his family.-St. Louis Republic.

A Flexible Sandstone.

A greater curiosity than sonorous
sand is found in the flexible sand
stone of North Carolina. The quar-
ries are in the mountains of the
southwestern corner Of the state,
and the stone is taken out more as
a curiosity than for any other pur-
pose, though it is sometimes en-
ployed in building. When cut in
a thin piece, say the size and shape
of common milestone. you can
bend it into considerable arc with
out its breaking, and it will resume
its former straightness on the press
ure being removed. Of course if
you bend it too far it will break,
but the fact that it will bend at all
is most remarkable.-St. Louis

Instinct Makes Them Seek q Common
Resting Place for their Bones.

It is we'll known that at the south.
ern extremity of Patagonia the
huanacos have a dying place-a
spot to which all the individuals in
habiting the surrounding plains
repair at the approach of death to
deposit their bones.
Darwin and Fitzroy first recorded
this strange instinct in their per-
sonal narratives, and their observa-
tons have since been fully con-
firmed by others.
The best known of these dying
or burial places is on the banks OF
the Santa Cruz and Gallegoes rivers,
where the river valleys are covered
with dense primeval thickets of
bushes and trees of stunted growth.
There the ground is covered with
bones of countless generations.
"The animals" says Darwin, sin
most of cases must have crawled,
before dying, beneath and among
the bushes.
A strange instinct in creature
so prominently social inits habits, a
dweller all his lifelong on the open,
barren plateaus and mountain sides.
What a subject for a painter
The gray wilderness of dwarf thorn
trees, aged and grotesque and scanty
leaved, nourished for a thousand
years on the bones that whiten the
stony ground at their roots, the in
terror lift family with the rays Of
the departing sun, chill and gray,
and silent and motionless-the hu-
anacos' galgotha.

tains and the plains to suffer the
sharp pangs of death, that to the
Imagination, something of it all
seems to have passed into that
hushed and mournful nature. And
now, once more, the latest pilgrim
has come, all his little strength
spent in struggles to penetrate ths
close thicket, looking old and gaunt
and ghostly in the twilight, witt
long, ragged hair, staring into th'
gloom out of death-dimmed surker
eyes.
One artist we have who nigh
show it to US on canvas, who woulc
be able to catch the feeling of such
a scene-of that mysterious, pas
sionless tragedy of nature-tht
painter, I mean, of "The Prodigal'
and "The Lioness Defending Hel
Cub"
To his account of the animate
dying place and instinct Darwin
adds:
IL do not at all understand the
reason of this. but / may observe
that the wounded huanacos at the
Santa Cruz invariably walked to-
ward the river"
