A correspondent of The Army and .Navy Journal asks: "What is the longes, piece of ordnance that has ever been suo ressfully ared?" and receives the follow. ing answer: If you h!"'iade in the term ordnance everything that carries pro- jectile, we should answer fourteen miles. This is the straight tube conveying natural gas from Murrayv.Ne to Pitts. burg. To clear this tube out, projecti,s known as the gum ball was inserted in the end at the gas we'll closely fitting tl,e interior.

The Smell Ia ,Just na Rad.

Says a cigarette smoker in the Now York
Tribune: "People who object to cigarettes
are continually talking about the peculiarly
disaereeable odor of the burning paper.
This is sheer nonsense. A man could smoke
cigarettes made entirely of rice raper, and
there would be no odor at all. The differ
ence between the odor of a cigarette and
that of q Cigar lies not in the paper, but in
the tobacco. good cigar tobacco cannot
be used for making cigarettes, as it is of an
entirely different kind, ana is not prepared
in the Same manner. The difference in the
smell is generally placed to the credit of
the unofending paper, which has no smell
at all,5

London - Must Appeal to America

Dire Results Follow the Labor Strikes OF
London - Must Appeal to America
Workmen Here Will he Called Upon
for Aid.
LONDON, Sept 4-Nearly every day
is bringing to the metropolis reports of
trade and labor troubles, and despite
the fact of the opening of the winter
season being so near at hand there
seem to be ore disputes between capi-
tai and labor than ever before. The dis
pute in the building trades of London
is now eighteen weeks old, and all that
time nearly 5000 men have been idle.
The London united trade committee
and the various carpenters trades
unions have expended for strike pay
and organizing expenses nearly 5000, 900.
and second appeal to the building
trades of the United States
for assistance will be issued on Satur-
day. The first appeal was not produc-
tive of much spot cash. In West Cum
berland 5000 men and boys hitherto
employed in the steel department of
the West Cum berland iron and steel
works are idle, owing to the bad con-
dition of the business of the firm. and
great distress prevails. The strike in
the Queens Hill shipbuilding works
at Belfast shows no signs of being
brought to an amicable conclusion. Fiji
teen hundred hands are out. In the
Greenock foundries, too, only about
one fourth of the force is at work Two
thousand engineers in the employ of
the Thames iron works in the ship
building yards are on strike.
