ly run down and stopped. His first effort
was to get an upper clerkship in one of the
departments, where his Oxford education
would come into play and do him service.
But he stood no chance whatever. There,
competency was no recommendation; po-
itical backing, without competency, was
worth six of it. He was glaringly English,
and that was necessarily against him in the
political center of nation where both
parties prayed for the Irish cause on the
house-tops and blasphemed it in the cellar
BY his dress he was a cowboy; that won him
respect when his back was not turned, but
it couldn't get clerkship for him. But he
had said, in a rash moment, that he would
wear those clothes till the owner or the
owners friends caught sight of them and
asked for that money, and his conscience
would not let him retire from that engage

Withstand pressure equivalent to 10 tons
to the square inch, and if you could take a
rod of metal an inch square and stretch 1t
out toward the sky until the whole rod
weighed the enormous amount OF 10 tons,
you could rest the lower end OF this upon
piece of one of these guns and 1t would not
affect it. At the time of the last war be-
tween the North and South, nearly all the
guns in use were made of cast iron or cast
brass, and it was common thing for a gun
to explode and go to pieces. The guns of
to-day are made of the finest of wrought
steel, and the 12-inch gun, which is now at
San Francisco, was built up OF dozen or
more great logs of steel
Building Up Great Gun.
The inside tube of it when it was brought
to the factory was hollow log of steel,
which weighed in the neighborhood of 49,
900 pounds, and which was 35 feet long and
as big around az the largest oak tree you
have ever seem This log had been made at
Bethlehem, Pa, and it had been hammered
and drilled into shape, and its interior was
far smaller than it is now. Logs of this
kind of steel are lying now in the gun fac
tory ready to be used for the making OF
more of these 12-inch guns, and the steel of
which these logs are made is carefully
tested before they are accepted.
When this immense steel log is received
here it is put on great lathe and the out
side of it is shaved down, a stream of ice
water running continuously on the bit of
the lathe as it cuts the stell shavings from
its outside shell. The friction is so great
that the water becomes boiling and rises in
steam from the shavings, and the interior OF
the steel log is drilled out until it is of the
exact size for the ball of over 800 pounds
which is to go into it.
Binding With Hoops of Steel.
Now the steel log has been drilled out

He was mechanically turning over the
leaves of his diary, meanwhile, and now his
eve fell upon the first record made after he
was burnt out:

and he exclaimed:
''What have 1 been thinking of This

and these terrific expenses climbing and
climbing all the timei I must end this
folly strsightaway.
He settled up at once and went forth to
find less sumptuous lodgings. He had to
wander to and fro and seek with diligence,
but he succeeded. They made him pay in
advance-S4 90; this secured both bed and
food for a week. The good-natured, hard
worked landlsdy took him up three flights
of narrow, uncarpeted stairs and delivered
him into his room. There were two double
bedsteads in it and one single one. He
would be allowed to sleep alone in one of
the double beds until some new boarder
should come, out he wouldn't be charged

So he would presently be required to
sleep with some stranger! The thought of
it made him sick. Mrs. Marsh, the land

would like her house-they all liked it, she
said.

GREAT NOVELS CUT OFF By DEATH

GwRITTEN FOR THE DIsPATCH.1
To dream over literary projects. Balzac
SAYS, is like smoking enchanted cigar
ettes," but when we try to tackle our
projects, to make them real, the enchant-
ment disappears. We have to till the soil,
to sow the seed, to gather the leaves, and
then the cigarettes must be manufac-
tured, while there may be no market for
them after all. Probably most people have
enjoyed the fragrance of these enchanted
cigarettes, and have brooded over much
which they will never put on paper. Here
are some of 'the ashes of the weeds of my
delight" of romances whereof
no single line is written, or is likely to be
written.

There's q Great Deal In the Manner In
Which the Offering Comes.
New York Times.l
A certain New Yorker, whose income
permits the qualification of his generous i'm
pulses, wanted to send substantial gift to
an old friend, a clergyman, whose small
parish in distant community vouchsafed
him more of love and reverence than salary.
'I'm going to send B. $780," the New
Yorker announced to his wife one day in
December.

after minute, she asked: GLOW will you
send it?"
'Bv check, of course" was the reply,
elbow else should II"
But the wife demurred "It seems a lit
tie too-too sordid, doesn't it, for q man
like Mr.. B.? Let me manage it, may 1?"
and the husband consented.
On Christmas morning registered ex-
press package was delivered at the little
Western parsonage to Mrs. B. She opened
it wonderingly and found fiat box. Going
further, mat of silk paper was removed
and a dainty booklet of Christmas remem-
brance was disclosed. This was taken out
and admired and the card beneath it read
for the givers. Something showed still un-
der second mat of paper, and when that
had been put aside, there, fitted neatly in
the bottom of the box, were FIVE tiny silken
bags, each tied close with little bow of
ribbon. Each contained a twenty dollar
gold piece. This was the wife of the New
Yorker's delicate way of eliminating the
check element.

stories have bullet-hole through them, and

best manner, these poems.
1 have omitted, after all, a schoolboy his
torical romance explaining why Queen
Elizabeth was never married. A Scotch
paper offered prize for story of Queen
Mary Stuart's reign. I did not get the
prize-perhaps, did not deserve 1t. You
must know that Queen Elizabeth was singu-
larly like Darnley in personal appearance.
What so natural as that, disguised as a
knight, Her Majesty should come spying
about the Court of Holyrood. Darnley sees
her walking out of Queen Mary's room, he
thinks her an hallucination, discovers that
she is real, challenges her and they fight at
Faldonside, by the Tweed, Shakespeare
holding Elizabeth's horse. Elizabeth is
wounded and is carried to the Kirk OF
Field and laid in Darnley's chamber, while
Darnley makes love to my rural heroine,
the Lady of Fernilee, a Kerr. That night
Boutwell, blows up the Kirk of Field, Eliza
beth and all. Darnley has only one re-
course. In the riding habit of the rural
heroine he fees across the border, and for
the rest of his life personates Queen Eliza
beth.
Explaining an Historical Fact.
That is why Elizabeth hated Mary so
bitterly Con account of the Kirk OF Field
affair.", and that is why Queen Elizabeth
was never married. Side-lights on Shake
speare's sonnets were obviously cast. The
young man whom Shakespeare admired SO,
and urged to marry was-Darnley. This
romance did not get the prize, but am con-
ceited enough to think it deserved an hon.
orable mention.

is fastened to it or made with it and Won
have, after many months of work at an ex-
pense of nearly $4,000, one of the most
wonderful things in warfare. AS completed
the gun is at the back almost as big around
as -four barrel. AT the muzzie it is lust
IL inches in diameter and it is so arranged
when hung in the ship it could be almost
manipulated by child
One gets no idea of the size of these guns
from the technical description of them.
There are many ten-inch guns here These
are 26 feet long and they carry 500 pound
steel balls at the rate of 1000 feet per
second. The Maine will have four of them.
The Baltimore has in its armament four
eight-inch guns which carry balls
weighing 450 pounds and these guns
weigh $4,000 pounds apiece. The
six-inch gun weighs $500 pounds and the
amount of weight which the batteries of our
warships will be able to throw at a time is
almost ipconceivable. Secretary Tracy saws
that the Indiana will when completed throw
over three tons, or $500 pounds of pro-
jectiles at single discharge, and the shells
from her 13-inch gun will go % inches into
a steel plate one mile away.
Tho Cost of Naval Battle.
He says that her secondary batteries will
discharge $50 projectiles minute, and she
will have torpedo tubes which will shoot out
an all-around fire of 1S-ihch torpedoes, each
containing $50 pounds of powder. Dis
charges like this will cost an enormous
amount, and every minute of great naval
battle will send fortunes up in smoke and
sound Every round of fire from a 12-inch
gun will cost hundreds upon hundreds of
dollars, as the expense of making these
srmor-piercing shells is very great.
During my stay at the Navy Yard I
visited the shell house and had talk with
Gunner Walsh. He tells me that each
ship carries 100 rounds of shell and am
punitlon to go with each gun except in
time of war and u of these six-inch guns
would require /. 200 shells or 120, 900 pounds
of shell alone. 1t would take so pounds of
powder for each shell and this would take
60, 900 pounds of powder A great quantity
Of all kinds of shell and ammunition Is kept
