TIE WOODBRIDGE GUN.
Something Of the New Engine of Des

Something Of the New Engine of Death
Now Under Process % Manufactures.
Boston, March s.-The new Wood
bridge gun. which is intended TO be
capable of throwing projcctile weigh
ing quarter of ton a distance of
twelve to fifteen miles, and which is be-
ing constructed at the arsenal at Water
town, will be completed in about four
months. At present the gun is little
more than steel tube % l-2 feet long, the
diameter being II 3-4 inches. The in
terror eventually win be bored to 12 1-2
inches. The specially of the Wood
bridge gun consists III the wire wrap
ping Around the steel tube, which is
made of hard rolled steel, are placed
strips of steel like barrel slaves, and
around these miles Of steel wire are
wrapped The steel slaves are put in to
equalize the pressure caused by the light
wrapping of the wire. The wire is .15
of an inch, and capable of bearing a
tension of 200 900 pounds to the square
inch. The wrapping of the wire upon
the tube is Gone by u special winding
machine, 80 as to put the wire on at a
great strain. Several miles of wire have
been wrapped so thickly that the tube,
several inches in thickness, is skunk or
pressed in until the diameter is reduced
by .04 of an inch. The object of putting
the wire ON so tightly is to develop the
elastic resistance Of the tube. In other
words, the immediate bursting sire 8
comes upon the wire, because the wi4e
is comprising the tube all the while,
and not until the wire has been stretched
little could any strain come upon the
rolled steel tube itself.
This would not happen until until the
internal pressure exceeded 50, 900 ponds
to the square inch. In the first trial
with the gun it is likely that ordinary
powder will be used calculated to throw
projectile weighing $50 pounds for
about twelve miles. and distance of
three or four miles with great accuracy.
III tried with the new powders, which
produce less smoke, the projectile may
be thrown for fifteen miles. In either
case the charge Of powder will be about
270 down to 250 pounds.
DR.. Woodbridge says that the new
powders receiving careful consideration
by the war department, but since the
explosive power is greater than of those
formerly in use, it is not always possible
to utilize the new kind for the existing
guns. The new gun will be rifed The
projectile will not make a complete rev.
olution before reaching the muzzle, but
as the rifling gains in curvature as it
goes along, the projectile when it leaves
the mouth while be whirling at a speed
equal to complete revolution in the
length of TIE gun. In about two months
it will be ready to be sent to the Water
vliet arsenal, New York, for finishing
touches. The gun is of the type used
in forts, bat this one is intended for ex-
perimental purposes rather than any

An eccentric man was Captain King
governor of an Australian colony. A set
tier once waited on Governor King to ask
for the loan of prisoner to help him in
shingling his house.
"Come to me in six weeks, when harvest
is over" sud the governor, "and l will
find a man for you"
At the end of that period the settler,
whose reputation for laziness was well
established, again presented himself
'Have you shingled your house?" asked
the governor.
ooh, dear, no! I've been waiting for
help"
"Well, go into that room and you will
see your man"
Presently the settler returned saying he
could find no man, although he had looked
all over the room even under the table
and behind the sofa.
mot find him" said the governor.
"How can that be2 Come along with me
and I'll soon find him for you"
Governor King ied the man up to the
large mirror over the mantelpiece.
"There's the man to shingle your house,
said he. Take him with you, quick, and
see that he does itp'-"The Convict King"

A Singular Suit.

Nine months ago popular actress,
the wife of a comic actor named
Pauly, committed suicide, and a
newspaper published an account of
the private life of the couple, alleging
that the unfortunate woman shot
herself in sheer despair at the i'll
treatment she had received at her
husbands hands. Copies of the ar
ticle were laid on the grave of Nine.
Pauly and were there found by her
husband. He brought an action for
defamation of character against the
owner of the newspaper, but before
the case came up for trial M. Pauly,
through grief, committed suicide by
shooting himself.
His mother, anxious to clear his
memory from any suspicion of stain,
asked permission to carry ON the case
in the place of her deceased son, and
the editor had to defend himself
against accusations which were prac-
tically raised by a man who had been
dead for several months. He was
found guilty and sentenced to three
months imprisonment.-Vienna Cor.

The smallest measure of weight in
use, the grain, has its name from
being originally the weight of a grain
of wheat. A statute passed in Eng
land in 1866 ordained that thirty
two grains of wheat, taken from the
middle of the ear, or head, and well
dried, should make a pennyweight,
twenty of which should make an
ounce, while twelve ounces were to
make pound
The pound therefore consisted then
of 7, $50 grains. Some centuries later
the heavyweight was divided into
twenty-four grains, which make the
troy pound, now used, $500 grains
The heavyweight was the exact

A Cherished Memory.

Her dress, never varied during prolonged
widowhood, was always black and of Sc

known to mar it's artistic unity, but al
ways over her soft abundant hair, of
which the thick coil and the natural wave
were the envy of younger women, the
matron were sheer white cap of tulle or
lace The transparent andor and straight
forward honesty of this dear woman's
character were so to speak, accentuated
by her dress, which, as the years went on,
seemed to her children and grandchildren
as the very garment of her soul.

death, spoke of his memory of her as very
clear and distinct. ''She always looked"
