HOW BIG GUNS ARE MADE.
They Are Not Cast, Now, but Are Built
Up.
From st. Nicholas.

From st. Nicholas.
Not so very long ago all guns were
cast by pouring mOulten iron into "A
mold and then letting ii DOL slowly:
but IL was found that runs made in
that way were not strong enough to
stand the tremendous strain of the
large charges of powder required to
send a shot fast enough to enable it
to pierce the steel armor of a modern
ship of war, 50 the old method of cast
ing was abandoned as the armor be-
came stronger, and now nearly all mod
ern cannon are what is called built
up"
First. a long steel tube of the finest
and strongest metal is made. and
around this are placed, or shrunk
on" successive cylinders or rings, one
over the other. with the greatest care
n nicely, first the jacket and then
the hoops" So nowadays a great
gun, instead OF being one piece, as il
used to be. is composed OF many parts.
The process above described is called
assembling a gun, and in the place
of the short cast iron cannon of for
mer days, shaped something like a big
bottle, We have the long, graceful steel
rifles, which look not unlike gigantic
watch keys. They vary in size from
the SINAI rapid-nre guns, a few nun
dred pounds in weight, to the great
lS-inch 'peacemaker," as II was fundly
called. which tipped the scales at 90
tons-120. 600 pounds.
All these modern guns are breech
leaders, and after the shot and powder
have been placed in the powder cham
Der, the breech is closed by a steel
'breech plug which is showed into
the gun and by a short turn is screw
ed tight into the breech.
The shot or shell has also undergone
a change. The round cannon ball most
of US are familiar with has given way
10 the "projectile," which is made of
steel, hardened according to the work
IL has 10 do; and In those that are in
tended to pierce armored ships the
metal must be so hard that the pro-
JeCtile can be fired through steel ar
NOR Of a thickness equal to one-elghth
more than its diameter, without its be-
ing broken or materially injured; for
Instance, an eight-inch projectile. ac-
Curding 10 this rule, must be capable
of piercing a nine-inch steel plate.

life who are yet holding in
our hands the precious gift
of time, cannot be estimated.
We cannot get more out Of
human life than we put into
it, The smiles of heaven are
upon those who do unto 9TH
ers as they would have 9th
ers do unto them. We are
hanging up pictures every
day about the chamber wall
Of our hearts that we shall
haye to look at when we sit
in the shadows. The law of
harvest is to reap more than
we SOW. So an act and we
reap a habit; SOW a habit and
we reap a character; SOW a
character and we reap a des-
tiny. Often we become dis
couraged and abandon a work
on the eve of success. We
must SOW before we reap,
"but in due season we shall
reap if we faint not.
Transact all business with
eternity in view. 1t would
be better for us to fail in
everything else, than to at.
tempt to shape for ourselves
a life without God, without
hope in Christ, and without
an interest in heaven. If we
forget God while we are
young, God may forget us
when we are old, Sin yields
its pleasures first; but the
pain is sure to follow.
The pleasures of sin are
but for a season. He who
would pass the latter part 9f
his life with honor, must,
when he is young, consider
that he shall one day be old;
and remember, when he is
old, that he has once been
young.
