Jacketing a Gun.

For the last two or three days efforts
have been made TO jacket the nickel steel
gun at the Washington Navy Yard, but
as yet, success has not rewarded the
work in that direction. Several eX-
cuses have been offered as to why the
Sellers system of jacketing has not been
satisfactory. 1t has not been fully de-
termined yet. however, as 10 whether the
system is at fault.
The process OF jacketing is to lower the
tube of the gun into pit, in which is
also furnace. The jacket is heated, and.
after having reached a proper tempera-
ture, and hence proper expansion, it is
lowered down over the tube. A stream
of cold water is shot up through the tube.
which cools 1t of and the jacket shrinks
to the tube. The most important part OF
the work is to heat the jacket with GER
tain degree of uniformity, and for this
purpose various methods of heating are
usually tried. Sometimes coal is used
and sometimes wood.
For the nickel steel gun, however,
naphtha has been used, it being claimed
that greater degree of uniformity would
result. An attempt was made Friday to
shrink the jacket on. The tube was put
into the pit, and the jacket heated, but
When IL was lowered on the tube it was
notlced that little part stuck. If the
jacket had remained on the tube long
enough Tor the cold water to be turned on
great difficulty would have resulted to
get 1t oil, but Immediately the uneven
part was discovered it was gotten of and
an investigation commenced. The Sell
ers people claimed that the tube was not
standing plumb. To remedy this the pit
where the tube stands is being prepared,
and on Monday it is expected TO again
commence the operation of jacketing the
gun.-Washington Star.

TWO SONNETS.
MOUNT SHASTA,


The Scared and rugged peaks which round
thee stand,
Thy stalwart soldiery and sentinels are;
Stately and beautiful. thou risest far
Above them, like hero-warrior grand
Mongst men-proud Hector with his fierce
browed band.
When storm-torn clouds the valleys blur
and mar,
Oft, glorious as the victor's flag in war
ftThy crest is seen, and maketh glad the land.
When through the summer air is lightly
blown
The breath of pines. and leafy sapIings nod;
When by long, green and sinuous lines is
shown
The distant rivers course; when bud ana sod
And blade are warm with lite-unmoved,
alone,
Thou towerest in the grandeur of god!
DAY-DREAM
A field OF wheat--a shimmering sheen of gold:
Beyond, a sweep of meadow, smooth and
fair,
That swims and quivers through the heated
air;
And then the lake, within whose depths
behold
Reflected rocks and jutting headlands bold.
And farther yet, the hills lie gray and bare,
Clear cut against the sky, but melting where
They dip to blue ravtne and lumber void,
lie within an oak trees pleasant shade,
a stream in moving light before me glides;
And here the hearts unrest is all allayed,
For some bleSt charm in such scene abides
Which soothes the wounds the careless
world has made,
AS purple mist the cleft and scanned peak
hides. FREE LANCE.

COAL IN SOUTH AMERICA.
Mr.. Caracristl, of Richmond, Talks About
His Discoveries.


Mr.. c. F. Y. Caracristi. the explorer and
concessionaire of the South American coal
and oil in the republic of Colombia, has
just arrived in Richmond, and is stopping
at Murphy's Hotel. Speaking of the South
American coal and petroleum, he said
After my explorations and publications
on the coal deposits and the UNEMPLOYED
regions of Colombia, the late president,
Dr. Rafael NuneZ, and the present acting
president. Caro-, recognized my labor in
behalf Of the republic. and called upon
me to launch the important enterprises.
which indicated In my reports published
by the United States Department of State
and reproduced in nearly all the CONNER
cial languages of the world.
Colombia is a country the size of twen-
ty Of the States of the Union and Is
larger than the United States were before
the acquisition Of Louisiana. 1t has about
100000 inhabitants many of whom are
unciviliZed Indians. There are many re-
gions yet to be explored. and my labor
in this direction has brought TO light
many wonderful riches before unknown.
Coal in South and Central America and
the West Indies is worth from 81 to $50,
and 1t is all imported from England ex-
cept about 2h per cent, which comes
from the United States. The total con-
sumption Of coal in these countries Is a
little over 100000 tons. valued at s26,500,
900. and the Colombian mines, embracing
an area Of over 10000 square miles, are
the only deposits so far discovered near
the seashore. These lie from three to
sixty miles from the ocean.
"Perpetual-flowing oil-springs. some OF
which will fill 6-inch pipe. are also
found within 500 feet of the Caribbean sea.
The coal is anthracite, bituminous. and
camel in veins OF from to 20 feet thick.
Work is now In progress. and the South
American market will have our coal on
sale in the next six months. This. II Ii
claimed. will reduce the cost Of water
transportation about 10 per cent.
These mines are only about twelve
hours run from the mouth Of the Pana-
ma canal"

MAUcK GIVEN TO HIS FATHER.
This Judge Wickhnn's Decision-A Woma
Sent to Jail-LOnntY NeMs.

Judge Wickham, of the Henrlco County
Court, rendered his decision yesterday in
the case of Frank p Mauck. whose
father brought legal action to secure his
release from the Laurel Reformatory.
The Judge granted the parents petition.
and the official of the institution were
given thirty days In which to appeal
from the decision. Young Mauck's case
Is rather peculiar one. He resided with
his father who was abundantly able to
provide for him. and without having
committed any offence was taken before
esquire" Vincent and committed to the
reformatory for an unlimited period as a
vagrant.
Mrs. Mary Martin, white woman
possessed of rather n handsome face.
was committed to jail yesterday by Ma
gistrate Tyler. TO await the action
OF the grand jury on the charge of having
stolen a COW from some negroes. Mrs.
Martin was seen by the oll-gate-keeper
on the Williamsburg turnpike driving the
animal Saturday night, and as she could
give no satisfactory account of herself
his suspicious were aroused and when
shortly afterwards the owner of the COW
came seeking her the woman was ar
rested.
John Humphreys, the negro man who
at dance In Fulton Saturday night
shot William Holmes. another colored
man, in the jaw surrendered himself at
the County Court yesterday. 1t appears
from his statement that Holmes had first
attacked him with a razor. Both men
were taken before esquire" Tyler. who
committed them to jail for hearing Sat
urday.
The Board of Supervisors were in ses-
sion for a short while and issued vouchers
for the salaries Of the various officials
and employees Of the county. Some time
ago the board offered a reward of 80
cents for hawk-scalps. "A youth named
1dan Stall presented the board with three
and was paid $50.
George Coleman was before Justice
Lewis on charge of beating his wife.
lie was fined SO and costs and made to
give bond for good behavior in the sum
Of $500 for six months.
