Damascus Gun Barrels.

(Pittsburg Commercial Gazette.)
The U. S. consul in Liege describes in
a recent report the manufacture of and
trade in Damascus gun barrels, wholly
handmade. in the valley of the Vesdre.
in Liege province. These barrels are for
sporting guns, and the industry is many
years old, the worxmen in the villages in
the valley being almost all gun barrel
makers. and the trade descending from
father to son.
The best barrels ore combination OF
the best primary substances. welded and
forged by the martelage-a-froid process
The steel comes from Westphalia, the
iron is manufactured at Couvin in Bel
GUM; the coal, which is especially suited
for the work, from the Herve Highlands,
in Belgium, while the motive power of
the factories is obtained from The River
Vesdre.
The industry has increased greatly in
recent years. The armes de luxe, as
they are called, are made by men work.
Ing in pairs, each pair in It's own little
factory, quite independent of all others.
They are paid by the piece, the wages
being good and about 1000 men are en-
gagged on the work in the valley. Medium
quality barrels are made of coke iron and
steel. while the superior quality. which
are produced in the Vesdr~ valley, are
made of charcoal iron and 5el. An in
genious marriage" OF these metalssgiye
q composition which, when manufac-
tured, guarantees the required solidity
and resistance.
The Improvement in these Damascus
barrels dates from the introduction of
percussion caps IN place of the old flint
lock. Formerly iron barrels alone were
produo9d; now, to manufacture the
curled Damascus, the ingot is compos ed
of 30 sheets or iron and steel, each having
"a thickness of four millimetres, which
are enveloped in a sheet iron hox. plac ed
in all oven and welded together at the
lowest possible temperature. Each bar
rel receives 100 welding beats while being
forged, and II a single one of these is
unsuccessful. the barrel may be failure
either By alteration of the Damascus
work or an imporfection in the welding.
There iseno Off cial test OF these armes
do luxe, but they are thoroughly tested
by the manufacturers before delivery.
The annual production of Damascus
barrels in the Vesle Valley is about 80,
COO pairs, of value of about 5000, 00(
francs. OF this the wages alone-for all
the guns are hand made-amount te
2. 900, 900 francs. The principal markets
are Great Britain and the Uritad States.
About half the barrels made in the Yes
DIRE Valley are sold to manufacturers. OF

"Boys, Never Touch Billiard Cue"


AT certain high school it is the GUS
tom to discuss briefly the mornings
news before taking up the regular work
of the day. 1t is. an excellent custom,
and one whereby the pupils reap the
benefit of the teachers more ripe ex-
perience, and learn not only to take a
broader view of events, but to appreciate
their full significance, and, if they con-
tain warning, to take that warning to
them selves to think about, and talk
about. and tell to their less fully in
structed parents.
One morning not long ago, paper in
hand, the teacher assembled to her desk.

Pioneer Press, IL: The government re-
port shows that a large amount Of corn is
still bin the hands OF the farmer. In
previous years it has been marketed
much earlier. Last Saturday the Chi
cago receipts from five OF the granger
railroads amounted to 269 cars, against
40 oars for the same date a year ago. As
the bulk Of the corn crop is yet to be
moved, the granger roads have nc reason
to distrust their earning powers for some
time. The railroads generally show a
most satisfactory balance sheet for
February. The leading roads Of the
country show q total increase over the
same month last year Of s3,674,3OI, the
