 Ever sinco\ our government has been. building up it's great white navy thousands of visitors haye bcsiegcd the men-of-war whenever an ,shchorage in port has afford ed an opportunity. Officers and men have been piled with questions concerning ev- erything aboard ship, from tho pennant that futters from her truck to the myste- ries of her double bottom. The ponderous tapcring rifles of the warship, with their training wheels, cogs and rocoil cylinders, elicit perhaps most of tho admiration and questioning Tho visitor stands all eyes and ears, as bluejacket swings open the breech of tho gun and explains the mech anism of tho block and vent, Then tho landsman ga2cs long and admiringly through tho glittcring ri1cd bars and wonders at the terrific power of so pretty and graceful a machine. And at last, when the broech block has been clattcrcd back into place, tho visitor in ninc eases out of ton will ask question that has been pcrplexing him ever since he laid eyes on the gun
 How do you obtain that deep bronze color on the outside of these gunsf"
 The quostioncr is well aware that tho gun is of steel, and he notices that the bronze color stops abruptly just over the curve of the brecch. He has felt tho glossy brown surface, with its darker lines, like the grain of polished mahogany, and has probably given it a surrcptitious little scratch with his nail without being any wiser. - The russet gloss defles tho scratch, and tho visitor repeats his query, Then Jack proceeds to tell tho process by which the guns on our fighting craft arc kept cleaner and glossicr than those of any navy r, arsenal, it is coated with grease to pre- vent rusting during transit, and this coat ing is kept on until the huge steel struc turc has been lifted into its carriage. Tic grease is then removed by carefully wash ing tho gun in q strong solution of com mercial potash or lye. It is washed twice with this liquid and allowed to dry thor oughly. The gun is then like a glistcning silver tube.
 Tho next operation, and ono requiring moro care, is tho application of a mixture of sulphatc of copper dissolved in sweet spirits of inter- To an ounce of each Is added a pint of distilled water. Four coats of this arc poured on and rubbed down hard and allowed to dry for "A hours
 Under this treatment the silver tube is transformed into one of 0 warm reddish brown without gloss. By adding arsenic to the same solution and applying again, the gun assumes darker toho Now comes the hardest part of Jacks work, the polishing Boiled oil Is mixed with bees wax and turpentine until comparatively thick substance results. This is laid on and polished down with cotton rags at first and then with tho palm of tho hand The result is the mahogany brown somuch adanired by inquiring visitors.
 The, brown coat lasts remarkably woll unless tho gun he fired, when the heat of tho discharge seriously damages the pol ish.
 The last coat is replenishcd about every honth. Now York Sun.

WHERE THE PEOPLE ARE.
Great Demonstration at the Concert
to Mr.. Davies.

Mr.. Theo. Fl. Davies has reason to
be highly gratifed at the demon
stration in his honor yesterday
evening, when concert compli-
mentary to him was given at the
Hawaiian Hotel by the Hawaiian
National Band. There was con-
course OF people crowding the spa
eious grounds, presenting a sea OF
heads to the view from tho hotel
balconies. Anywhere from 1000 to
5000 people were present to hear
the superb music and testify their
esteem for one OF the leading cham
pions Of Hawaiian independence.
In a fashionable throng in the par
lor, lanai and lower veranda were
several officers of the American and
British warships, and members Of
the diplomatic and consular corps.
The music, especially the native
songs, were received with rapturous
applause. 1t was suggested by a
connoisseur that tho singing of
the boys would have been helped
il accompanied by saxophone.
This hint may be taken into con
sideration by Bandmaster Libornio
for future occasions. The dense
crowd of well-behaved Hawaiians
who hung upon the music OF their
own band, cheering the patriotic re-
Trains till the welkin rang, formed
an object lesson that might well be
taken to heart by the alien crews
who are making preparations for a
Fictitious jubilation over the first
anniversary Of the attempt To de-
prive this friendly aud hospitable
psople Of their national existence.
The concert closed by the baud
playing with vim the "seditious"
air generally known as Hawaii
Ponoi."
