To understand and appreciate what the.
United States has accomplished in modern
gun construction it is only necessary to
know the history of this great plant. its
creation, its growth. the difficulties over

character of the products turned out. Four

Before the civil war. when smooth bores
and muzzle leaders were the only great
guns known on land or sea, and cast iron
was the material used in thei- construc-
ton. the United States possessed the best
guns afloat. But after the civil war a long
period of absolute inactivity followed in
this country. both in the matter of Shin

cations to them, and with good success
as this fragment from one of his letters to
an Indian CHIEF whom he was trying to
persuade to peaceful ways shows:
The red brothers all know that my
words to them have never been forgotten
by me- They have never been swallowed
up by darkness. nor has the light of the
sun consumed them. Truth cannot perish
but the words of a liar are as nothing /
wish you to come, and we will again shake
hands and counsel together. Bring other

TO make peace. War cannot make them
happy. IL has lasted too long. Let it now
be ended and cease forever. Tell all my
red brothers TO listen to my commission
ers. and to walk by the words of my coun-
sci. III they hear me and keep my words,
their homes shall be happy-their fires
shall burn brightly. and the pipe of peace
shall be handed round the hearth of their
wigwams. The tomahawk shall be no more
raised in war, nor shall the dog howl for
his master who has been slain in battle.
laughing of your children shall be heard
In place of the cries of women"
Loyalty to the Union.
The most dramatic event of Houston's
life a senator his refusal in 1854 to
obey the will of Texas and vote for the
kansas-Nebraska bill. This act led to a
bitter quarrel with his colleague, Rusk.
who had been elected with him as one of
the first two senators of the state. Rusk
upbraided Houston violently for be;raying
Texas. The two men parted in anger.
Houston threatening to challenge Rusk
If friends had not interfered a duel would
undoubtedly have resulted. Finally the
angry Texan gave up his desire for blood,
but turning on his friends he said: The
hansas-Nebraska bill may pass. but let me
tell what will be the result. The north will
never consent to see slavery in the free ter
ritories-the aboiitionists will elect Pres
ident South Carolina Will secede. other
states will follow her, and We shall have
the bloodiest war in the history of the
world The north has the army, the navy,
the money. She will blockade our ports
occupy our territory, abolish slavery, put
the south under military rule, and finally
we SHAH have dictator. There is no hope
Tor US unless Ii is in the common sense Of
the masses.
Throughout the rest of Houston's term In
the Sanate-some five years-he fought the
idea of disunion, and his last words there
uttered in February, 1854. We're hope that
the .perpetuity OF the Union might be Sc
cured to the latest prosperity"
Returning to his state, he was elected it's
governor. In his first message to the legis-
lature, in January, 1860 he declared. Tex
as will maintain the Constitution and stand
by the Union" When lincoln was elected,
and threats of secession nlled the air
Houston told the people that the result OF
an election was no reason for dissolving
the Union. THE Union is worth more
do nothing. Finally the secession party
depqsed him, and Texas Joined the southern
confederacy. Houston, heartbroken, would
take no active part on either side, and, I'M
happily, he died before the contest was
over-in July, 1863. IDA VI. TARBELL.

From Science.
A most interesting method of employing
the echo of sound has been devised for
the location of the carriers which some
times lodge in the underground pneumatic
tubes. Knowing that sound travels at a
speed Of. roughly. LOO feet per second. and
knowing the time measured in thousandths
Of a second between the firing of pistol
shot in the sponduit and the arriving of
the echo at the outlet of the tube, a simple
calculation gives the exact location of the
obstruction. The means of five experiments
in the test gave 2, 733 seconds, and
when the sound velocity was corrected for
air temperature the obstruction was To-
Gated at 1.531 feet from the instrument,
which was the exact location.

Mrs. Chant Smoked a Cigarette.
From London Truth.

Mrs. Ormiston Chant, the well-known
social reformer, has smoked a cigarette.
This momentous fact is chronicled prom
inently by the British press, and The pub
lie is gravely discussing the matter. for
the reason that Mrs. Chant has been the
incarnate ideal of British virtue since her
crusade against the London music halls
She has explained that she smoked tho
cigarette when she was detained in tho
Turkish lines. where she went in connec-
ton with work of the Red Cross Society
liz order to see if it would allay the pangs
of hunger. The experiment was a complete
success There We're certain unpleasant
sensations not unusual in such cases but
she now sympathizes with the fondness
for tobacco. Still, she does not believe In

Common Sense.

D. s. Rice in Boston Transcript.
OF all the gifts this side of beaven
mat ever were 10 mortals given
1he best to have, the worst to Miss
Inc iruest, sweetest source of bliss
Inc one rail left Of Eden's fence
GLANDS the pure charm of common senas
10 earn our right to daily bread
10 not regret when time is fled,
10 wisely speak and act and think
10 Keep LIES boat from ruins brink
70 balance every houIs expense
We need the aid OF common sense
sometimes no doubt, We need to view
The lightning bolts some genius threw.
But now We need, well mixed and stirred
with silent thought Or spoken word
sort of human FOOLS defense
Inc wholesome aid of common sense
Some things. perhaps, must stil1 be taught.
where mighty minds their power inwrought:
But now to guard the priceless wealth
VI pence and love. of youthful health
And how to keep our own few pence
Is taught alone by common sense.
We pray for faith, and light. and neace-
For sins remove, and loves increase
F0r strength to meet the tempters power
For dying race, for dying hour
But now, right in the present tense
Give US, . Lord good common sense
To keep from useless jar and strife
And bless the changing path of life
To make each fountain purer still,
To take from less its fatal chill
And bring thy own sweet recompensa
We bow to thee, blest common sense.
