like the Elswicb and Woolwich guns, the
Washington guns can be thoroughly relied
on to do what is professed for them. This
is a large statement, for the Elswich and
Woolwich guns cannot be relied upon to do
more than 80 to 20 per cent. of what they
are professed to do. The Washington gun
factory is perfect, the lathes superior to
any in the country, and they work faster
The secret of the good workmanship lies in
fastening the responsibility for everything
upon some official by name. Here in happy
England the system is that no man shall be
responsible for anything. The country is

so careless that it is perfectly contented

building. The thirteen-inch guns have not
been begun though the contract for the
forgings are let. Commodore Folger saws
that all these great guns are being built at
the cost OF about so cents pound. This
will make the thirteen inch guns cost about
81, 600 each, and the twelve-inch guns about
s50, 900 each. The commodore thinks he
can build sixteen-inch gun for 40 cents a
pound, which would make such a gun cost
little less than 100000. He thinks. how.

than the thirteen inch, for the reason that
the great l0O-ton guns of European navies
are practically failures.

tailed to do what it was intended to do.n
Everybody understands the general
points of difference between the "monster'
guns OF Farragut's and Dahlgren's day, and
the splendid armament that is to adorn the
new ships. The old ftteep-inch Dahlgren,
which was then the apotheoss of marine
artillery, weighed about forty four thousand
pounds, was about fifteen feet long, took a
charge of eighty-tive pounds of powder, and
could carry $50 pound solid shot with eff
fective force distance of 1900 yards The
biggest gun now being made at the Wash
ington yard is the twelve inch, high-power,
breech-loading rife. 1t, like all the new
guns. is built upon a forged steel tube,
lacketed and hoped with steel hoops or
bands of varying widths but uniform thick
ness, until over the breech there are three
thlcknesses, over the main body of the gun,
forward of the trunniores two, and over the
remainder Of the gun clear to the muzzle,

triumph, seeing that he is yet but a kid, and
has already contracted for twelve still big
ger guns. That he can make them goes
without saying, for the steel forgings are
already contracted for. These are twelve

mounted on each of the three new battle
ships, Indiana, Massachusetts, and Oregon

now on the lathes in the great gun shop.
They are to arm the forward casemate, or

almost ridiculous. Let US put it in intelli-

How one of these great guns is made is an
interesting study. The evolution of the
ship of live oak into the steel cruiser of to-
day, presents no more striking contrast
than the evolution of the gun which is to
arm her. The huge furnace with its weight
of melted iron is no more; the great casting
pit with its sand mould has gone to keep
company with the old Spanish bronze re-
tort. All the effete traditions are cast aside.

PITTsBURGH, Pa, Jan. 24.-The miners
OF The United States have just COM
plsted plans for the greatest industrial
battle ever inaugurated in America.
The conflict between the miners and
the mine owners will take place on the
lat Of May. The entire national organ
Lstion Of miners, comprising 100000
men, will be directly involved in the
demand for the eight hour day.
According 10 the figures which are
given. IL will be a battle of millions OF
dollars against Ia Dor organizations, also
backed by millions OF money. At the
convention OF the American Federation
of Labor, held in Detroit some weeks
ago, it was decided 70 ask the mine
owners 5or an eight hour day. The
attera nces of the officers OF the United
Mine Workers ON the subject leave no
doubt that the miners will make the
Mght.
An immense strike fund is being
made ready for the miners, and when
Che latter go out they will have at their
back for immediate use nearly 81, 900,
