WHEN CLEVELAND TALKS

OUT OF eight.
The Financial FURRY Over BetOre
1t Was Begun Because of The
Presiden,'sC Clear Statement ana
The AdmlnistratiOn,s Purpose.

WASHINGTON. April 25.-The authori-
tative statement of Mr.. Cleveland in
which he announced the present and
future policy of the administration rela-
tive to the Use of the gold reserve, has
taken the edge off the excitement that
followed the act of the secretary OF the
treasury in dipping into the reserve
fund.
If there has been any danger of fnan-
cial furry that danger appears now to
have passed Under the Interpretation
of Mr. Cleveland's statement, the reserve
is to be treated simply as so much cash
in the treasury and whether the aggre'
gate rises or falls few millions day
becomes a matter of little concern, con
sequently very little interest was mani
tested today at the department in regard
to the financial situation.
MIR. Leech, director of the United
States mint, an acknowledged authority
on finance, said today: III 10 upon the
statement by the President as plain
and forcible announcement OF determi
nation of the administration to main
tain gold payments at all hazards, and i
the supply of gold at the disposal OF the
treasury should at any time be insuffi

OdOrs of Flowers.

It is O remarkable fact that, although
there are nearly or quite 100. 900
Towering plants known, the relative
number having odor is wonderfully
small, not more than ten per cent, IL
fact. In connection with this it IS
noteworthy that, because one species
of flower is endowed with sweet "dor.
it does not necessarily follow that MI,
o, nearly all. or even c fair proportion
of the other species of the same family
will be as favorably endowed. All IL
lustration Of this is found in the mig
nonette. There arc some fifty species
of this genus known, and OF them all
but one has any fragrance, nor is 1t
certain that the most inslgnltlcant-
looking flower has the greatest trag-
rance, or the most gorseoasly colored
likely to be without odor, thus SEEM
ingly disproving the theory that color
and fragrance are given fowersfor the
purpose of attracting insects to assist
in cross fertilization.-New York

Should Brahma bull enter the shop
of O green grocer and help himself left
and right the proprietor must be care
full to abstain from profanities of
speech. He may COCK the bull to the
door and gently assist him in appre-
cisting the necessity of departure, but
verbal comments have to be couched
in the most respectful terms. On a
crowded market place Brahma bulls
may be seen pushing their way through
the throng with sublime indifference
to the convenience of less sacred en-
titles, and trample down scores of re-
freshment tables to reach an assort-
ment of attractive vegetables. And
vet that four-footed nuisance is deemed
the pride of every Hindoo homestead,
and the proprietor of saddle bull will
sit patiently waiting in the rays of the
broiline sun to give the pet of Brahma
time to get over baking fit.

modern artillery as is now on view
in Jackson Park. The very latest in
ventions in the way of ordnance, heavy
and light, in all the Nations of the
earth are there to be seen and what
makes the display more interesting is
that each new invention or improve
ment is accompanied by its antetype
of many years ago. For instance, in
the British display, contiguous to some
ripe old smooth bores of the days Of
King George-guns taken from Mel
sons flagship Victory-appears the first
attempt in rifed artillery. The Whit
worth breech loading rifle WAS a crea-
tion ofthe Crimean War. 1t was efec-
tive while it lasted, and for some uses
was valuable accession to field and
naval ordnance. But with the advent
of steel armor plates and the intro
duction of heavier and powerful ord
nance the old Whitworth rife ceased
to be manufactured in England. Near
this obsolete specimen are several types
of the Armstrong steel high power gun
of to-day. The English government
has ceased to manufacture any larger
gun than what is known as the 65-ton
Armstrong, but no gun as large as that
is on exhibit. The largest is 3O-ton
gun which corresponds in type with

and lie down in an ice-storm cold
enough to freeze the ground twenty
feet deep.
But Yankees in their turn might
question the wisdom of the Hindoos
who share their last morsel of food
with a lazy Zebu bull. A Zebu, or
Brahma bull, can be used as beast of
burden, but is weakened, stupid and
as lazy as Holland prize COW. Warm
weather makes him capricious, he will
balk or turn in a circle with the per-
severance of an inspired dervish. The
monstrous lump of fat on his back
sometimes assumes proportions that
make every ounce of additional burden
q grievance, and to climax matters, the
ungainly brute is holy, i. e., supposed
to enjoy the special protection OF
Brahma and his allied divinities. To
beat a Brahma bull is an indictable
offense, and to kill him crime that
can be expiated only by lifelong pen
ance, if, indeed, the fury of the ortho-
dox natives should suffer the offender
to survive.

In the French exhibit is shown the
Canet rapid-fre gun. The largest gun
of that type is five and half inches in
caEber and II, 900 pounds in weight.
It uses twenty-four pounds Of smoke
less powder and throws q seventy.
pound shell. In rapidity of fire the
French are ahead of both British and
Americans, for at trial of one of these
guns at exhibitions two years ago seven
unaimed shots were fred in ffty-four
seconds, and at another trial of small
or one of the same type five unaimed
shots were fired in twenty-four seconds.
The Russian naval authorities have
adopted the Canet type of rapid-ire
gun for their service.
Then there are other types of such
ordnance on display in their depart
ment by the different nationalities.
There is Danish gun known as the
Finspong and Dutch gun known as
the Gericke, the invention of Captain
Gericke of the Dutch navy. Then
there is the Gruson, which is the in
vention of Prussian officer. This gun
is lighter than either the British or
American type, but it fires an average
of thirteen shots in thirty seconds.
Then there is the Krupp rapid-fre gun
on exhibition in the Krupp pavilion.
This is heavier gun than any except
the Armstrong, but it is not so rapid.
The largest type carries seventeen
pounds of powder and a seyenty-six
pound shell, but its highest speed is
seven aimed shots q minute.
In the Transportation Building are
several rapid-fre guns manufactured
by private English firms. In this same
exhibit is perhaps to be found the most
effective machine gun of any of the
smaller, calibers. 1t is known as the
Maxim automatic gun. There are two
of these guns on exhibition. One of
them, which weighs only fifty pounds,
has attained rate of 600 shots aminute.
The other is larger piece, weighs 1854
pounds, has powder charge of three
ounces and throws a little baby shell
weighing one pound, but it throws
them at the rate of $50 a minute. Then
there is gun shown as the Skoda
rapid-fre gun, which is to be seen in
the Austrian exhibit. The details of
this guns capabilities are not at hand,
but it is in most respects similar to
those already described.
When it comes to the display of pro-
jectiles the mind becomes dazed. The
projectiles range in size from one
pound to 1900 pounds. The latter is
the projectile for the big Krupp gun.
It is as big as barrel and as tall as
the average man. The average ser
vice projectile, however, weighs from
100 to $50 pounds. The biggest
American shell on exhibit weighs HOO
pounds, and is for the big twelve-inch
gun on exhibit in the War Department.
The ancient and obsolete projectiles
are also displayed in great number:
They include everything from what is
known as the old SOAR shot" and
''chain shot" down to the ingenious
explosive projectiles invented during
the war by the Confederates, some of
which are very novel. The "bar shot"
was made by splitting cannon ball in
two and connecting the two halves by
an iron bar; their purpose was to cut
rigging and ship spars. The chain
shot was on similar principle, except

this gun show a speed of five aimed
shots in ffty-fve seconds, four OF
them striking the target at range Of
900 yards. The powder used with this
gun is known as cordite. 1t is high
power explosive. This, therefore, may
be regarded as the very highest type
of modern rapid-fre ordnance. The
Americans are improving the Hotch-

With all his laziness the Thibet bull

But if the Thibetans ride their cows

one will cheerfully forego repetition
of the sensation. Another curious ex-
hibit is an old-fashioned furnace for
heating shot to fire at ships. These
two are relics of by-gone ages. Prob

ever fired at ship WAS at this same
battle of New Orleans.
