OPPOSED TO BONDS.
The Views Of James II. Davis.

Mr.. EDIToR:-I had not intended say
ing anything on this bond question, for
many reasons, among other things. the
dull times, which keeps me busily trying
TO make endSameet. But as a citizen, /,
sir, feel il to be the boundant duty of
every one to see after the interest of his
home and country, and it seems l am so
constituted that though would be still,
. / can not, therefore wish to say, and in
particular TO my own race, / have been
asked by some Of them my views on this
question, though as / was unable to an
swer intelligently, did not give them and
will say, although l have read
some of what has been said for
vet able to give decisive answer.
Though would suggest that we attend
the meetings that are being held, and
learn, ii we can, what is the best thing to
do. Do not make up our minds and say
Will not go, nothing they can say will
change me. Be willing to do right and
what is TO the interest Of our city. ] will
say TO you as said to Bishop Grant, who
by the way was decidedly opposed to
voting any more money to the city, for
the reason, he said, he didn't see how we
were going to stand the taxes now. |
said, well If they absolutely need the
money, and it is to be used as they say,
for the benefit and to the credit of San An
tonic, we ought 10 vote IL, and this is
just the way | feel in the matter, do not
care to, nor do intend, to do the will, or
try to satisfy, the wishes and personal
benefits of Mr.. Callaghan or any other
individual. i am not for downing Callag
han particularly, and no man, but say
If it be for the public good, to down any
man. or set of men, so be it. So as have
suggested we ought to attend the meet
ings, and If after investigation find it TO
be the best thing to do, why, go to the
polls on the day of the election, like men,
and vote against the bonds, do not allow
any promise, or hope of any in
dividual benefit to cause us to
do what we believe to lie
wrong in this matter, and thereby, not
only iniure ourselves ultimately, but the
town aid people as well.
see that some one gives as one of the
reasons for our failure to get one of the
supreme courts, is that our representa-
tives were, ''indisposed and did not, or
could not press our claim" ! simply
mention this to show how liable we are to
get left by just a little neglect, so in this
bond question, don't let us be sick enough
to be neglectful of duty, but be there and
do what is right. J. r. DAVIS,

Inocnlnilnn for LockInM.

Two Italian savants Profs. TlMoni and
Cuttani have recently Isolated germs OF lock-
Jaw, and have not only rendered guinea pigs
and rabbits Immune from the disease by In
lecting poison derived from them, but have
cured six human beings attacked by the com
plaint by means Of incubation. As Is well
known loctjaw has hitherto been considered
almost inevitably fatal. The germs Of the dis
ease seem To be found In the surface soil, so
that Immense numbers OF them may exist In
anybody garden. Rats can be given lockjnw
by simply mixing n little garden mould with
their food. That Is the reason why wound
from rusty nail is apt TO communicate the
trouble. !, Is nQtthc rust that is responsible,
as Is commonly thought, but n rusty nail is a
dirty one and presumably has been lying on
the ground. II has locljaw germs on IL and
they inoeulate the victim. Such hurt in the
palm of the hand or soleTof the foot is likely
TO produce the trouble, because In either place
there is bundle OF nerves. The disease Is
one OF the nervous system.

a NEW KILLING MACHINE.
A Cannon that VIII Throw ProJectro
Fifteen Miles.

Tho now Woodbridge gun, which is intended
to be capable of throwing 50Opound pro-
iectlle twelve to fifteen miles, which Is being
constructed at Watertown, will be completed
In about four months AT present the gun Is
little more than n steel tube 27ls feet long,
the diameter being 11gi inches. Tho interior
eventually Will be bored to 12I6 inches The
speciality OF tho Woodbridge gun consists In
the wirc wrapplngs around the steel tube,
which Is made. of hard rolled steel, which arc
placed In strips Of steel like barrel slaves, and
around these miles Of steel wire are wrapped.
Tho steel slaves arc put In to equalze tho
pressure caused by the tight wrappings Of the
wire. The wire n 15-100 OF an inch square
and Ia capable of bearing a tension OF e00,0O0
pounds to the square inch.
The wrapplngs OF tho wire upon tho tube Is
done by special winding machine so MS to
put the wire on at a great strain. Several
miles have been already wrapped so thlcEly
that the tube, several inches In thickness, Is
shrunk or pressed until the diameter Is re-
iuccd by 400 of an inch. The object of
putting the wire ON so tight is TO develop the
elastic resistance OF the tube. In other words
the bursting stress comes upon the wire be-
cause the wire is comprcssing the tube all the
while, and not until the wire has been slack
ened little could any strain come on tho
rolled steel tube itself. This would not hap
pen until the internal pressure exceeded $4,000
pounds to the square inch.
