method Of shrinking steel jackets upon
the central tube of the big guns.
The steel in a modern cannon, by the
expensive system OF casting in vogue,
costs nearly $3.50 a pound. A big coast
defense gun, like some the United States
mas been setting up along the Atlantic
costs from 100000 to 100000. The huge
Krupp gun at the Worlds Fair cost
$500, 600, and thousands OF dollars more
to transport it.
These big guns come so nearly being
one piece OF steel and the present method
of casting has SO many imperfections,
that big gun will hardly hold together
eor more than so 10 100 shots. Once the
gun shows a defect, no matter how
slight, it is ruined.
The new cannon is practically indies
tructible and the larger the gun the safer
it can be made The principle invol-
we'd Is so simple that United States army
men and engineers who have had a
chance to inspect it have burst out laugl 4
ing. not at the gun, but because no one
ever thought Of It before.
The steel rings Of wllice the new gun
is composed make heat en- iIDpossi oility.
A. long as the tube hold together the
rings will take up the heat, which will
lose itself between the rings. The strain

ing the tube practically indestructibIe
as long as the rifiing holds out. -Four
steel rods parallel to the bore OF the gun
reinforce the rings.
The gun will be of special advantage
when it comes TO overland trarsporta-
ton. The simplest of hydraulic pres

gsther, and pack train Of dozen mules
could carry cannon large enough TO
destroy a modern battleship. A gun as
large and powerful rs the Krupp cannon
exhibited at the Worlds Fair could be
carried on two canal boats.
TIE gun hay already been inspected
by the superintendent OF the United
States Ordinance department, and pre-
parations are being made to construct a
large gun at the United States navy
yard in Washington under Colonel
Blood's direction. An English firm IS
already constructing several OF the
guns for tsets abroad.
The model now at the New York Life
building was constructed under, the d.
rection of Duane Doty. chief engineer OF
the Pullman company. mvbfwymfwyrfd

The Haverhill Gazette, now in the
front rank Of newspapers. stands for the
journalistic ability of one man.
John B. Wright impressed his strong
personality on the paper from the day
that he secured control.

Judgment of men and events has built
up the Haverhill Gazette to its present
newspaper leadership of northern Mass
achusetts.
Editor Wright's long and brilliant
work on the Boston Herald, as chief
Of department Of special writers" has
all been utilized in the building up OF
this successful newspaper. 1t will sur
prise no one that getting out a big
newspaper, like the Gazette, morning
after morning, and year after year, in
the heat and smoke Of fierce political
conflicts, should entail great mental
and physical strain.
Incessant work told on Editor Wright;
but because he made use at once OF
Paine's celery compound, he is today
fully restored to his old time forceful.

says of this great remedy:
Haverhill, Mass, Oct. 8, 81.
Gentlemen:-Lt IS with great pleasure
that I bear testimony to the beneficial
results which almost invariably follow
the use Of that king of all remedies
Paine's celery compound. AS a, tonic,
free from deleterious material, it has,
to my way of thinking, no equal. This
remedy is a positive boon TO all nerve
