The platform has been decided upon, but
has not been read. 1t reaffirms the state
platforms of 1880 and 92, which were the

FIRING THE BIG PNEUMATIC GUN.


cleaned, says that there comes out of the
recent tests at Sandy Hook the conclusion
for New Workers that hostile ship is not
likely to enter their harbor. If the guns
at Sandy Hook were not equal to keeping
out q foreign vessel, then n battery of these
guns stationed on COney Island and at
Rockaway could add strength that should
prove invinciblc. The owners and pro-
motors Of the new guns maintain that one
of the projectiles is capable of destroying
three mcn-ofwar.
The news comes from Washington that
the results obtained by these last tests,
and more especially the great accuracy
with which projectiles have been placed,
have attracted the admiration of the ord
nance experts in both services. They be-
lievc that the success of the gun will lead
to its adoption for purposes of coast de-
Tense and the protection of those coast
wise cities for which the fertilization
board has recommended general policy
of defense against attacks from foreign
fleets.
Next to the interest that attaches to the
establishment of the effectiveness of dyna-
mite as an ammunition, probably as inter
esting lesson of the recent tests is to be
drawn from the use of compressed air in
the guns. The officers say that for many
reasons it would be impossible to use pow
der Perhaps the most important is that
it would detonate so sensitive an explosive
as dynamite. The SO, 600 pounds pressure
to the superficial inch, which is about the
average force of powder, would cause the
projectile to explode before it left the gun.
Another necessity which renders the use
of powder impossible is the Importance of
keeping the gun cool.
A feature of the pneumatic system is
the ability of the gunner, to change the
range without changing the elevation of
the gun by controlling the amount of com
pressed air that escapes at each discharge.
The full calibcr projectilc is II feet i'll
length and has IA capacity for 500 pounds
Of high explosive.

Maxim's Machine Flew.

1t is generally conceded that Mr.. Maxim
has really mounted into the regions of air
on the broad pennons of his aeroplanes.
His last test is considered a triumph, al
though it ended in disaster. Under pressure
of 800 pounds of steam to the square inch
the aeroplanes lifted the solid weight of
100 600 pounds to a height of about four
feet, and then the machine dropped. This
accident is attributed by Mr.. Maxim to
the wooden protecting rails put up for the
purpose of holding the machine down up
on the steel rails, along which only had it
hitherto travelled during experiments. He
Is confident that had it not been for these
wooden rails his machine would have
Travelled far. 1t will take some months to
vepair the injured machine.

FARM NUTtS.

! A great many people think the creamery
is not an economic institution We ar,
certain however, says Hoards DIiryman,
that the way the average farmer makes,
handles and sells butter, is the worst hind
of economy in the wo'll. OF tie so
patrons who support the Hoard
creameries, not more than 80 would
become expert private dairymen. The
creamery has taken milk that orce
made butter that sold for the year at an az
ecage of lG cents and from that milk pre-.
duces butter that sells for an average tf
over % cents. If the dairy man wishes to
get every dollar possible out of the cows,
by way Of butter, he can double discount
his profits at the creamery by making up
his butter at home provided he makes the
right kind of butter.
Geo. F. Plat in Rural New Yorker says
he has found it to be an advantage to use
several forms of nitrogen in the same mix
ture. As he mixed this year, he had nitro
gen from nitrate of sodo, blood, bone and
meat, and ground bone. In former yearshe
used some sulphste of ammonia but
az that is costly, he now uses more
nitrate of soda, and finds that it does
equally we'll. He fails it an alvantageto

results. He HIS good crops growing

chased and added to their publishing bust
ness, in this city, the publication, The

concern proposes to continue its former
publication, 1.-THE Fireside GEN." which
has already attained circulation of l0O,-
900, and the new paper will simply be an
extension of the business and output of the
house. The adding of this paper, already
established, as it is on a solid basis, will
mean large increase in the amount of

circular mail. The Sawyer Company has

The Hallowell Granite Company have
present. For several months past they
have been at work on a contract for a
large two-story building in New York, to
be known as the American Surety build
ing and upwards of $50 men have been
employed. 1t is expected that this con-
tract will not be filled until at least the
first of January. The American Surety
building when completed will be the talest
business block in New York. Already
several shipments of stone have been
made, but as so much time has been con-
sumed in laying the foundation for the
building, that, as yet the stone has not
been placed in position. For the founda-
ton it was necessary to excavate to a depth
of GO feet to reach the clay. below which
is solid rock. A part of the work which il
now being cut is series of 80 mammoth
heads which are to be inserted beneath the
cornices, more than two HUNDRED feet from
the surface of Broadway on which the build
ing fronts. These heads are of Greek
cast, the faces having droll expression.
Farther up on the building will be inserted
rows of carved lions heads. At the entrance
will be eight columns, % feet in height. A
few weeks ago two large shields bearing
eagles on their faces, were completed. The
company short time ago introduced ma
chjnery by which the chisels are operated by
compressed air. This means of cutting
