The first 13-inch breech-loading rife
in course of construction at the Wash.
ington Navy-yard met with serious
accident about month ago While
in process of placing the jacket on the
tube, the jacket grasped the tube
several feet below the point intended,
and there welded fast. 70 remedy this
accident it was decided to send to
Philadelphia and hire hydraulic APP
paratus to force the jacket into its
proper position. 1t has been since
learned that the hydraulic apparatus
will have to be built expressly for this
purpose, and, as it might never be
wanted again, it was thought
that the expense for this
one occasion would not be justi-
fable, consequently the rife has been
placed in gun-pit in vertical posi-
ton, and about tile jacket is arranged
materials for heating it and the tube
also by means of an oil blast, and
when sufficient heat has been acquired
to expand both the tube and the
jacket, stream of cold water will be
worked up into the tube, with the
hope that the sudden cooling will con-
tract the tube and allow it to drop
down into the jacket and fit in it's
proper position. In the event of a
failure a continuance has been ar
ranged near the end of the tube to use
pressure and force the tube downward.
If the last resort is unsuccessful the
jacket will have to be cut away, caus-
ing loss of SJ4. OOC.

IT is at least doubtful whether
heroes of antiquity, like Hector,
Milo and Samson. were ply
sically superior to Corbett, jackson
and Mitchell; but it is pity that
when these modern heroes use the
same weapons as the ancients they
are comparatively ineffective. Sam
son killed 5000 Philistines with the
jaw-bone of an ass. 1t is a matter OF
public regret that this weapon, as
employed by these modern pugilists,
not only has no fatal results, but is
absolutely harmless.

The 0rca and the whale.


Hank Welsh, who has followed ~hAling
for mauy years, was lucky enough to be
one of a crew bsyond the Gulf of the
Holy Gross last spring that came upon
large whale in distress, surrounded by
three monster orcas, or blllers, which had
him wInded and badly wounded. The
story is best told by Welsh:
"We saw big brosdhead half a mile
away to windwsrd, and he kept 1mping
30 hard that we knew he was In trouble.
When We got closer we saw some thrashers
or billers afoul of him, and the water for
an acre or two around was bloody. The
orcas were pretty big ones and very VI
cious, especially one which was fully
twenty feat long, and when the whale went
down few fathoms this old boy rushed
down after him and gave 1t to him hard.
You sse a whale can stay under about half
an hour, and he can 60 down four or Eve
hundred fsthoms without mindiug the
pressure, but he can't do q single scbma-
rine trick ahead of an orca These orcss
sometimes chase whale 30 hard that when
he hits ths bottom he breaks bis jaEbone.
Well, this old orca followed the whale so
savsgely that he did not stay down over
five minutes at q time, and when he came
up he was jumped by the other two, which
kept watch on him like two hungry wolves.
When he saw the ferocious gang he seemed
to lose heart, for they were too quick for
him. think he was iust about worn out,
or dovn-hssrted, or something, for he an.
chored for q second. This gave the big
orca q chance to slide up and catch hin, by
the under lip aud bic piecs out. The
old fellow lashsd and dived, but down
went another orca after him.
"When the whale came up the orca had
him by tie lip. and the third one caught
! him by the tongue. Now q whales tongue

all the h9hts under the sun. How that

tsrs lanced him he seemed 30 enjoy II, for

II seems to be agreed among all whAlsrs
that no fight ever seen equals the awful
combAts which these sea monsters wage
against one another with unfhggtng fsro-
city. The orcs is the only grampus or
warm-blooded animal of the ocean that
constantly preys upon wsrm-blooded crsa-
lures OF his own kHd. preferably the
whale, the largest of his species. The
orcs's habits are predatory, and his strength
and ferocity are remarkable.

how long q whale can live after these saw
