improvements in Rolled Steel.


A protracted series of experiments
made at Siemens' works, in England,
with the new process of manufacturing
steel tubes, show conclusively, it ie
claimed, a remarkable adaptation of the
system to the manufacture of pipes for
the conveyance of water, gas and air at
high pressure, the manufacture of steam
boilers, boiler tubes, and especially for
bridge construction, owing to the light
ness and strength of the tubes of com
paratively thin steel, and which, it is be-
lieved, will enable the engineer of the
future to considerably increase the span
of bridges
The simple as well as remarkable pc
culiarity of this process of shaping
metals consists in the fact that, instead
OF avoiding any twist of the fbers, it by
one operation gives the greatest possible
twist to the fiber with corresponding
stretch of material. 1t moreover may,
assisted by mandrel, increase the outer
diameter of bar, instead of diminishing
it, as do all other rolling mills, but the
tube produced by this new method is
generally greater in diameter than the
bar from which it is formed, and thus
combining, as it does, all the various
systems Of rolling, it is claimed to pos
sess the advantage Of construction in
which all hitherto known rolling proc
esses represent part.-New York Sun.

as fate there she is. If go out between

The mammoth hreech-loading gun,
weighing so tons, has been success
fully landed on the beach at Sandy
Hook, by using an immense derrick
The gun has a l2-inch bore "a feet
deep, and was cast at the Watervlet

country. 1t is said to be the first
made of a number that will follow for
harbor defense. 1t is SO IA feet
long and will take a charge of 440
pounds of powder. 1t is claimed it
will impart an initial velocity of 1910
feet a second to projectie weighing
1000 pounds, and a muzzle penetra-
ton in wrought iron of 80 inches.
The gun will be taken from the

be drawn on double flat cars by one

"a young minister who preached
at Dalhousie in Canada on recent
Sabbath directed the mother of Il
child that was crying to take the in

threshold turned upon him, saying,
"Jesus said, Suffer little children to
come unto me-, but you don't feel

where the other left off, telling the
young man in cutting words to mind
