The accompanying cut shows the
dynamite gun of whose destructive
work in Cuba the papers have of late
given more or less accurate reports
The gun and the carriage can be car
ried on two mules, or by ten men.
1t can be assembled and ready for ac-
ton in two minutes from the time it
is unlOaded. One Of it's peculiar ad-
Yantages is that it makes neither
smoke nor noise when fired. 1t is con-
sequently almost impossible for the
enemy to locate it at any distance
over half a mile, and if it is even then
discovered it can be readily hauled
off by hand to a new position. If the
gun is in danger of being captured by
the enemy, it can be made useless by
the mere unscrewing of the cap from
the end of one of the tubes, or by
sharp blow by stone or any other
hard substance on the central tube
The gun can be made in any fairly
equipped shop and in two months IL
men could turn out 800 guns, capable
Of throwing four pounds of explosive
gelatine from a mile to a mile and a
half three times minute.
The gun consists of three tubes laid
side ~ side on the same horizontal
plane. The middle and longest tube
is the main barrel and contains the
projectile. The other tubes are con-
nected with each other and with the
main barrel. The length of the gun

the land list of eminent persons are
being compiled. 1T is to be hoped"
says the circular put forth by the pub
fishers, that all will be sufficiently
allVe to the Importance OF such work,
and the lasting benefit to be derived
from placing their names, side by side
OF those OF our most hOnOred ones, in
a volume that will be found in public
libraries and reading-rooms through
cut the world, and which IS ultimately
destined to go down 10 pOsterity as
an enduring record OF the most
eminent people OF the nineteenth CEN
tUry. All are admOniShed not to with
hold, through motives of false modesty
Or pride, the information required;
ana those persons entitled to repre-
sentatiOn should, through themselves
or their friends, see that their names
are sent in and all facts correctly re-
ported, bearing in mind that without
such a record the most illustriOus
names would be lost in oblivion, and
their advantage of reference to an hon
cradle ancestry" Breathes there a man
with soul so dead to re-
fuse to reply to an appeal like this?
Biographical dictionaries already
exist, indeed, but they are, as the
circular before us justly observes,
sadly imperfect. They are loaded
down with the names of mere for
eigners, persons who Won distinction
in other countries and, therefore, with
no real interest to u.s. Twenty
five thousand names of Americans of
the nineteenth century will make
truly inspiring record roll of faEIe. The
selection of candidates for an hour
50 overwhelming will be made on the
most catholic principles, those who
subscribe to the book, Of course, be-
ing preferred, as is most fit and right.
For why subscribe to a biographical
dictionary if you are not to find your
name there? What do you care for
p1 eserving from oblivion the ancestors
OF other people? You want to give your
own descendants IAN honorable anceS-
try This is the greatest chance If
the kind we have ever had the good
fortune tC come across. 1t ought to
be as easy to get fifty thousand names
as twenty-five thousand for so literally
conceived an undertaking.

OF working these woods without the
aid of machinery make them unproft-
able for cabinet-made furniture. Ma
hogany is much softer and more easily
worked than these woods. Some New
England folk, before the middle of the
present century, had a craze for fur
nlture made of ironwood, otherwise
known as hornbeam, and cabinet-made
furniture Of this material is found
aOW and then in Connecticut. The
wood is regarded by modern wood
workers as utterly unfit for working

makers avoid the use OF beech, and it
Is used in this country mainly for fine

Very old furniture in cherry is al
most as highly priced as mahogany.
and fine old pieces in maple fetch high
prices. The best walnut furniture O

A PARAGON OF LEGAL LORE.

A country justice had been elected
but few days, when a young lawyer
rushed in and demanded a capias.
Now, that justice did not know a cap1as
from police cell, but he disIiked to
admit his ignorance. So he said
Now, see here, my friend. You
are a young lawyer, and, l fear, lack
experience. l would advise you not to
be too hasty. Don't be in a hurry.
Wait "A hours, and then, if you think
best, come to me and l will give you
capias."
The young lawyer agreed and went
away. The justice spent the remainder
of the day getting acquainted with the
writ called capias. When the limb of
the law appeared the next morning
the court felt himself qualified to issue
capiases by the busheI.
Before he could speak. the vouno
lawyer said
MI. Justice, you were right: | was
TOO hasty. l have that matter fixed
up all right and do not need a capias
nave come to thank you for the good
ADVICE, and also have brought you the
81 Zee you would have received for the
caplas, as don't want you to lose any,
thlng by your good deed"
He went away believing the Justice
TO be paragon of good sense and
legal lore.

, England piece is much more likely to
: be of oak than of mahogany, unless it
belong to the late colonial period.
Mahogany was a luXury even then
and oak was used in ordinary house
holds as being at once moderate in
price and durable.
/ 1t is easy TO tell whether a protested
European piece of walnut furniture is
genuine by the quality OF the walnut.
| European walnut is a denser and finer
wood than most of our walnut. A
piece of furniture made of ash at I'M
exposed points is almost certain to be
of American manufacture, but piece
/ having beech at such points is likely
to be of European manufacture. Beech
is plentiful in Europe and relatively
! scarce in this country, and with Amer
lean makers of furniture ash is
cheap substitute for beech and oak A
chair made entirely of beech is always
certain to be of European manufac-
| ture. Such chairs are often beautiful
in form and extremely durable. Mod
ern taste demands, however, that the
beech be stained to initiate mahogany
Near as New York is to mahogany
forests Of the West Indies, the best
mahogany comes from Liverpool The
! Liverpool timber merchants have long
controlled the mahogany trade, an
they get most of the best logs from
the West Indies and latterly even from
Mexico. Much mahogany is brought
to New York directly from the ma
hogany ports, especially those of Mex
leo, but for especially choice logs New
York importers still look to Liverpool
Indeed, English timber merchants own
good deal Of the mahogany now living
at the Lewis street inspection wards.
Some Of it has lain there nearly ten
years, subject to damage by the ele-
ments, while the British owners wait
for better prices.
New woods have come into usn of
late years, partly because timber of
the sort long used in furniture-making
mas become scarce, partly because
modern machinery makes it possible
to work woods that in earlier times
could not be proftably worked. Birch.
which is tough, crooked and difficult
10 work, is coming into use for factory
maze furniture. This wood warps
easily, but it looks well and serves the
needs Of the factory makers. Aspen
also is coming into use for the man
ufacture of furniture, though it. too.
IS grabbed wood, unfit to be worked
save by modern cutting machinery,
Another of the woods that the f1rni-
ture-makers have been driven to use
IS sycamore. It is fairly abundant and
cheap in the United States, and its
markings are distinctive and beautiful
but 1t is untrustworthy because of IFS
tendency to warp. It is sometimes
used as a veneer over less beautiful
but more trustworthy wood Some of
the North River ferry boats are ven ]
eered with sycamore. All Of these
troublesome woods have been improved s
for use in furniture by modern meth I

Birch, sycamore and the other
grabbed woods are not used by the
