COSTLY BELGIAN GUN BARRELS.
They Are Made by Hand and by Com
plicated Process.

They Are Made by Hand and by Com
plicated Process.
The United States consul i'll Liege de-
scribes, i'll a recent report, the manufac-
ture Of ana tlade in Damascus gun bar
rels, wholly handmade, i'll the valley Of
the Vesdre, in Licge province These
barrels are fer sporting guns, and the
industry is many years cid, the work
men i'll the villages i'll the valley being
almost all gun barrel makers and the
trade descending from father to son.
The best barrels are a combination Of
the best primary substances, welded
and forged by the martelage a froid
process. The steel comes from West
phalia; the iron is manufactured lit
Couvin, in Belgium; the coal, which is
specially suited for the work, from the
Herve highlands, in Belgium, while the
motive power of the factories is obtain
ed from the river Vesdre. The industry
has increased greatly i'll recent years
These armes de luxe, as they are called,
are made by men working in pairs, each
pair in its own little factory, quite in
dependent of all others. They are paid
by the piece, the wages being good, and
about 2, 900 men are engaged ON the
work III the valley. Medium quality
barrels are made Of coke iron and steel
while the superior quality, which are
produced IN the Vesdre valley, are made
of charcoal iron and steel An ingenious
marriage" Of these metals gives a com
position which, when manufactured,
guarantees the required solidity and re-
sistance.
The Improvement in these damascus
barrels dates from the introduction cf
PERCUSSION caps in place Of the old flint
lcck. Formerly iron barrels alone We're
produced Now. to manufacture the
curled damascus, the ingot is composed
of 80 sheets of iron and steel, each hav-
ing a thickness of four millime ,ers,
which are enveloped i'll a sheet iron box,
placed in an oven ard welded together
at the lowest possible temperature. Each
barrel receives 100 welding beats while
being forged and if single one Of these
is unsuccessful the barrel may be q fail
nre, either by alteration of the damas
cened work or an imperfection in the
welding.
There is no official test of these armes
de luxe, but they are thoroughly tested
by the manufacturers before delivery.
The annual production of damascus bar
rels in the Vesdre valley is about 300.-
600 pairs, Of value Of about 800 900
francs. Of this the wages alone-for all
the guns are handmade-amount to
about 1000, 600 francs, The principal
markets are Great Britain and the
United States About half the barrels
made in the Vesdre valley are sold to
manufacturers Of arms in Liege to be
mounted. New York Times.

AN INDIGNANT FISH.
One BurGan Deprived Of Its Prey by the
Reckless Interference Of Another.

One BurGan Deprived Of Its Prey by the
Reckless Interference Of Another.
While the burgall, known also as the
Gunner, is not altogether d bottom feed
ing fish, still it feeds mostly On the bot
tom, taking whatever it can find there,
nipping the head off a clam when it
gets a chance, and not neglecting the
worms Of many kinds which find a
home there.
There were two burgalls in tank at
the aquarium One day a nereis showed
its head above the sand and gravel on
the bottom Of the tank alongside little
pebble. The nereis is a marine worm
that lives at the bottom. This particu-
lar nereis might have been three inches
in length by an eighth Of an inch III di-
ameter. One of the burgalls saw it as
soon as it lifted its head above the bot
tom, and he began to make for it at
once, but net precipitately. iii fact, he
did not seem to notice the nereis at all.
He just loafed about in the water, and
it just happened apparently that his
general movement carried him in that
direction.
The nereis was probably looking for
food Gradually it raised its head until
itwas half an inch above the sand. The
burgall, which had started a foot OF
more away, was then within six inches
Of it. Then the other burgall saw the
nereis and this burgall made a rush for
it. There was nothing for the first one
to do now but to make a rush for it too
The two burgalls met head on with
their noses right over the pebble along
side which the nereis had raised its
head, but the nereis had disappeared
The force Of the collision threw the
first burgall off his balance For mo
ment be lay in the water at an angle Of
40 degrees, but he righted himself
quickly and instantly started for bur
gall No. 2, and chased him round and
round the tank and finally up into a
corner, where be held him for minute
and then he swan solemnly away, in
dignant no doubt that the reckless in
reference Of the other had cost him the
prey he had so carefully planned TO
take New York Sun

a BROKEN FRIENDSHIP.
IL Was Terminated by a Bullet In a

1t was in the early days Of a town In

and daily ard nightly, iii the half dozen
saloons which the embryo city supported,
were congregated as rough a set of men
as could be found in any town Of the

their time in gambling and ca1ousing

been sent to their long home Prather' q
bosom friend was Billy Wells. He, too,
was bad man" i'll the western accept
al 2 Of the term. Damon and Pythias
were not more fraternal than these two
desperadoes. When one was seen, the
other was always near. II one got into
trouble, the other was always on hand
to assist him.
The tragic end of this friendship came
one summer morning. Prather had Just
successfully stood off" a sheriff and
his posse, and the crowd Of roughs was
congregated in his saloon, congratulate
ing him, drinking to bis health and
celebrating the occasion BY filing them
selves up with what is known in west
ern vernacular as 40 rod, - preparatory
to terrorizing the town. Suddenly
Prather drew his revolver from the scab-
bard, and saying, Boys, watch me put
a hole through Billys hat, I" fired
There was a yell Of agony, and Wells
fell to the floor wounded to the death.
My God, have I killed him?'' were
Prather's first words Then, throwing
down his revolver, he sprang to the side
Of the wounded man, just az the last
culver came over the PROSTATE form and
the soul went to render its account.
For the first time in years a solitary
tear coursed down over the hardened
features Of the man whose hands were
newly stained with the blood of fell
low creature, but, ashamed of this mo
mentary evidence Of emotion, be hastily
brushed away the tear, and turning to
the bar called, Drinks for the crowd. -

SHOOTING STARS.

Across the strtogs Of memory

When youth believed the shooting stars
That night aihwart the heavens cast.
They told him that the soulfelt wish
Asked, while still glowcd the flashing brand
We're sure 10 fall-a wondrous Gift
Within faith e supplicating hand.
How many dreams of love and wealth.
How many hopes of name and fame
With boyish trust-so soon outgrown-
We're loaded ON each fitting flannel
Say twas the credence Of the fool,
A farce whore folly played chief part
1t had what too much after lacks
The earnest service Of the heart.
And so of all those radiant ships
That one time sped Ger seas Of air
And piled up high with golden dreams,
Struck Ages rock and foundered there,
Hung in the sanctun Of the soul,
Where death can only force the bar,
Alone remains that joy we knew
And lived when dreaming of the star.

1t may he we'll 70 remark that the
canon law does not prescribe that the
pope must be a cardinal, or even cleric
Nevertheless since the election Of Urban
vi in 1878 the successful candidates
have belonged to the members of the
Sacred college, although as late a. 1853
a noncardinal was voted for several
times. At least two laymen-John XIX
(1024) and Adrian Y (1276)-have oc-
cupied the papal throne, and there is tor
day nothing to prevent laymen from be-
ing created cardinals, although they are
not entitled to vote in the conclave un-
less they can produce a special permit
