and Lady Mildred Hope, the latter
being sister OF the present prime
minister.
Mr.. Alfred Austin was born at
Headingly, near Leeds, on May 80,
1885, and is therefore 80 years of
age. His father was a merchant
and magistrate OF the borough of
Leeds. His mother was the sister
of Joseph Locke, the eminent civil
engineer and M. p. for HonitoD, of
which he was the lord of the
manor. Both his parents being
Roman Catholics, he was sent to
StonyhursJ college, Oscott. From
Oscott he took his degree at
the University of London in 1853,
and in 1859 he was called to
the bar of the Inner Temple. On
the death of his father in 1861, he
quilted the northern circuit, OH
which he practiced, and went to
Italy. "The Season: a Satire"
which was published "a years ago,
was the first of a series of four
works which have been recently
issued by Messrs. Macmillan, in a
collected edition of six volumes,
which embrace, among other less
notable creations poems like "The
Human Tragedy" "Interludes,"
"Madonna's Child" "Soiloquies in
Song" cloves Widowhood :"
dramas such as "Savonarola, ""The
Tower of Babel" and "Leszko,
the BASTARD" and novels such
as "Five Years of It," Gan
Artists Proof" and "Won by a

RIFLED GUN AT FORT HAMILTON, N. Y.
masonry the gun will be laid until the
disappearance carriage, upon which it
will eventually rest, has arrived. The
construction of this masonry was begun
about four years ago.
The new gun was made in the govern
ment arsenal in Troy, N. Y. 1t was
then taken to the proving grounds at
Sandy Hook, where it was tested. 1t
weighs SO tons.
Being 10-inch gun, its barrel is COM
paratively small, but it casts pro-
jectile weighing $40 pounds and re-
quires charge of barrel of powder.
At 1000 yards the shot will penetrate 20
inches of steel. Although the rifed
gun is so much larger and more power
full than the ordinary smooth-bore guns
with which the fort is equipped, it re-
quires no larger force to man it.
"The carriage will be of cast STEEL"
said Lieut.. McGregor, land although
it is called a disappearing carriage, it
is really the gun which disappears.
When in position the gun will be in
visible behind the parapet, and only
when firing will it rise to view.
'These breech-loading guns were first
manufactured, believe, by Krupp, in
Essen. The cost of the gun, the car
rage and its placement 1 would
roughly estimate at about $4,000.
"The government intends to protect
the entire water fronts at Forts Hamil-
ton and Wadsworth with these guns,
thus amply protecting the harbor of
New York and making the Narrows
practically impregnable.
"When this gun is in position no
ironclad of any nation at war with our
country could safely pass on the further
side of the Narrows. A single shot from
the ten-inch muzzle would sink it.
II would not like to make any pos
tive statement concerning the range of
this gun. There is decided differ
ence between the extreme range and
the useful range. The last 1000 yards
are far less valuable than the first 1000.
At the late queens jubilee in England
some talk was occasioned by the firing
of shot ten or fifteen miles. But such
a test is practically valueless.
''These guns are designed for use
in the inner bay, and were their pene-
trative power only ten or fifteen inches
there would be small chance of any
enemy's vessel entering here"

to the chair of dogmatic theology in
the archdiocesan seminary of Philadel-
phia, resigned his appointment in
Rome, and has ever since continued
as a member. of the faculty in the in
stitution at Overlook. During the pc
riod of attendance as a student at the
American college he was considered
among the most diligent and was re-
garded as among the most distin-
guished graduates of that famous insti-
tuition. He is said to have made a
most favorable impression upon the au-
thorities of the propaganda as theo-
logan, linguist and disciplinarian. As
a pulpit orator he is forceful, eloquent
and effective. The selection of the
rector of the American college rests
with the pope himself, and is usually
made from a group of not more than
four names submitted by the four SEN
ior members of the American HER
archy, the cardinal, archbishop of Bal
timore, and the archbishops of New
York, Boston and Philadelphia. These
prelates present to the vatican the
names of three candidates, usually grad
yates of the American college, who are
respectively indicated as "dignissimus,"
"dignior" and "dignus." The propa-
ganda considers the qualifications of
the aspirants, and either submits them
in the same form to the pope or ar
ranges them anew according to what
may be deemed in Rome some especial
work of eligibility. Technically, the
rector is simply the presiding officer
of the institution. In recent years,
however, the somewhat peculiar posi-
ton of sort of American envoy has
been put upon the rector of the Amer
lean college, and he is regarded as the
medium of communication between Wis
iting Americans in Rome and the holy
see, and all Americans desiring to at
tend the consistories, private audiences
or other functions at which the pope
is present, address themselves to the
rector of the American college. Owing
to this fact, to the vast number of
Americans visiting Rome, and to the
friendliness of the present pontiff to-
ward the people of the United States,
the late rector, Mgr. O'Connell, grew
to be one of the most conspicuous of
all the FOREIGN ecclesiaStics in Rome

How Silk is Adulterated.

Some improvements" in the
treatment of silk are announced.
Ordinarily silk is weighted" by
depositing tannate Of tin on the
fiber; the material receives bath
Of fannie acid and then another of
perchloride Of tin, repetition of
this being made until an increase
OF the weight amounts to from 10
to 20 per cent, beyond which it is
not considered safe to go in the
case of silk intended to be dyed
light shades or to be bleached.
Recently a German inventor has
brought forward a process in
which SILICA is the weighing
agent. In carrying out this
method three steps are described.
First, the silk, raw or in any stage
Of manufacture, and either before
or after dyeing, is worked for an
hour in bath of perchloride OF
tin then, after squeezing and wash
ing, it is worked in a warm solu-
tion Of water glass or soluble
silicate OF soda for about an hour,
followed by washing, having also
been previously passed through
solution Of phosphate of soda. The
operation may be repeated again
and again, with no harmful effect
on the fiber or on the subsequent
dyeing, and in five operations the
silk may be increased in weight
some 100 to 120 per cent. The silk
is now soaped, and, II already
dyed, is cleaned in an emulsion of
olive oil and acid.

York stock exchange for 80 years, and
though essentially a business man has
found time occasionally to take hand
in politics, and when he cares to do so

of his party. He has always been averse
to holding Office, and the only official
position he has ever filed was that of
warden of the town of Greenwich,
Conn, where he. resides, to which he
was chosen on an occasion during his
absence from home on western trip.

went to Europe, and spent some time in
travel, after which he took law course
at Harvard and was admitted to prar
tice in 1884. His first aotive participa
ton in politics was as member of the
committee of 100, which led the indie
pendent movement for Clevelandagainst
Blaine in 1884. In 1888 he was elected
to the lower house Of the Massachu-
sets legislature as democrat and
served for three years, declining the
fourth nomination in order to make an
unsuccessful fight for congress against
Elijah A. Morse in strong republican
district. In 1889 he was again sent to
the legislature and was reelected in 1890.
That year he became secretary of the
democratic state committee, the next
year chairman of the executive COM
mittee, and in 1892 he served as chair
man of the full state committee, con-
Quoting a canvass of exceptional
strength. In 1892 he was delegate to
The democratic national convention, and
was chosen by his colleagues to repre-
sent the state on the national commit
tee. He was subsequently made men,
Der of the executive committee of that
body and chairman of the committee on
campaign literature. After the inaug-
uration of Cleveland in 1898 Mr.. Quincy
was rendered the position of assistant
secretary of state, which he at first de-
clined, but when it was shown to him
that his acceptance would crafty the
president and serve the party he yielded
so far as to enter the Office temporarily
for the purpose of recognizing the
consular service on the line of ideas en-
tertained in common by President Cleve-
land and himself. This object having
been achieved at the end of six months,
he resigned and turned his attention to
business and professional interests. He
is largely interested in two important

sense of justice to the other communi-
cants. 1t is an interesting question
whether the church is exempt from the
regulations of medical science in view
of this transmission of disease made
possible by collective use of one cup.
At any rate, the individual cup now
largely used has met with considerable
opposition because of it's apparent ex-
clusiveness. To obviate this objection
a communion siphon has been devised
which retains the idea of unity and
fellowship in the presentation of one
cup, effectually prevents the transmits
sion of disease and has cleanliness
which makes it most attractive. 1t is
intended for individual use. The wine
can be freely drawn from the cup, but,
owing to its formation, not one drop
