How a Y, .dg Deer Became

Prior to the departure of the batteshlp

mirals squadron, supply OF PROVISIONS
was purchased. Among the supplies was
q young deer, which was to be used as fooo
when other fresh meat was unavailable.
When two or three days out it was de-
cided to kill the deer, but the pleading
ewes of the animal made the sailors heSl-
tate, and permission was asked 10 allow
the animal to live. The request was.
granted and the deer was chrlsteneAS

At o'clock i'll the morning he always
took his coffee with the men, and alter
wards took his cigarette. They trled TO
teach him to smoke It, but no amount OF
persuasion could make him do that. de
preferred to chew 1t.
When at the drydock at Port Orchard
the deer was allowed shore leave, but
when the gong sounded for supper Billy"
was first on board. One day, however, he
failed to appear, and the captain ordered
a searching party to be sent out tor him.
The men succeeded in finding him in the
woods, but as soon as he saw them ap-
proach be ran to the docks, but found the
vessel had gone. Word was sent back 10
the ship that lie was found, utwould not
surrender, and Immediately more men
were sent out. This time be was captured
and brought back to the ship.
Billy's fondness for roses almost caused
the loss of an elegant diamond pin. a
young lady visiting the Oregon wore
magnj ficent bunch of Jacqueminot fas-
tened by a diamond brooch. 1t was re-
marked that BILLY" had taken a great
fancy 10 the lady and cmulated Mary's
lamb, for no matter where she went, the

fancy was seen, for at his first oppor-
tunily Billy jumped up and gracefully
removed the bunch of flowers, and had it
not been for a bystander the pin would
have gone too.
The Oregon was at Tacoma during the
time of the rose festival and the ladies of
appetite, sent him basket of roses every
dav.
When the ship reached this city it was
decided that they would have TO part
with the deer, for his hoofs, unused 70 the
decks, were becoming sore so the officers
comm unicated with the Park Commits
sioners and offered BILLY" as gift to the
park.
BILLY" was placed in part by himself,
but becoming lonesome they gave him a
kangaroo as a ompanion, but, alas for
the latter, he was almost killed by the
sailor deer.

with all the rest of his kind, from which

The firm of Armstrong Whitworth & Co. at
Newcastle is evidently a very prosperous
establishment and illustrates what profits are
made in building vessels for foreign navies
The dividends declared annually since 1883
have ranged from 73l to 1875 per cent. the
latter being for the present year. AS the
amalgamatlon OF Armstrong Whitworth took
place last year and the stockholders were
credited with a certain number of shares at
$50 each the dividend just declared is said to
really represent % per cent. 1t should also
be taken in consideration that the vast outlay
for tools OF all kinds and various other i'm
provements have been paid for out of the
earnings of the company and represent in the
aggregate an exceedingly valuable property.
The Sims-Dudley powder pneumatic gun, an
American inven ton, was recently tested on
the range of Armstrong g-W Whitworth with salts
factory results. This gun is claimed to be the
only one in exis ience by which high expo
siyes can be fired by the use of powder. 1t has
bore of 211 inches and consists of three
tubes laid side by side, the main barrel in the
center. The air pressure is 5000 pounds 10

Quired TO work the gun. The projeciile
weighs eleven pounds, in whicn is placed four
pounds of explosive gelatine in the front and
six ounces dry gun-cotton and thirty grains

yards, at which the exploding shell dug
