WHAT IT INDICATES.

Nothing intelferes with ones plans
and ambition like sickness OF poor
health. Have you ever throught that
your kidneys may be the cause of your
sickness7 You can easily find out by
setting aside your urine for twenty -four
hours; q sediment or settling indicates
an unhealthy condition of the kidneys.
When urine stains linen 1t is evidence
Of kidney trouble. Too frequent desire
to urinate or pain in the back, is also
convincing proof that the kidneys and
bladder are out Of order.
IL is a source OF comfort to know that
DIR. Kilmer's Swamp-Root is the great
remedy for all kidney and bladder
troubles. 1t relieves pain, stitch or dull
aching in the back, difficult or painful
urination, frequent desire to urinate,
scalding or pain in passing it, and quick
ly oyercomes that unpleasant necessity
Of being compelled to get up many times
during the night. The mild and extra
ordinary effect of Swamp.Root is soon
realized Its action is gentle, yet i'm
mediate, the relief speedy and the cures
permanent.

ARSENAL AT wATERvLIET.

After the last hoop has been put on
1t goes to the boring lathe, after which
the breeCh thread is cut and the breeCh
screwed on. There is but one step of es-
sential importance yet necessary-it
must be made rifled gun. Its inside
must be Rrooved with a spiral groove,
which will set the shot whirling when
the time comes for it to speed on its de.
struCtive errand. Again the gun is put
into lathe. Three days are needed TO
rifle it. The muzzle end is finished and its
sharp edges are smoothed and polished.
The breech plate is finished and sights are
put on. The gun is weighed and marked.
Its logbook is packed away for reference,
and some fine day the gun will be taken
to Sandy Hook to be tested. 1t has prob
ably been eight or ten months since the
tube was taken from the car which
brought it, steel forging, from Penn
sylvania
Six weeks is practically the minimum
Of time for the making of a modern
gun, and to finish one within that space
everything would have to go marvel
ously we'll. The treatment" of the
steel would have to be a success at the
very first attempt-somethiug that does
not often happen-and the first tests
would have to show that the govern.
ment standard had been reached. Of
tener than otherwise these results can
only be obtained through much trying
and the expenditure of time. A batch of
guns may thus take months in the maxi
ing, while good luck may bring it down
to weeks.
None Of the guns is named They are
all numbered, and from the moment the
tube is received until the gun becomes

full shrinking has taken place or a great
gun has gone out to make its way in the

machines wnlon are ca handle II during
its different stages lifts it off and drops
IL beside other tubes on the floor of the
building. This operation is performed
as easily and gently by the travelling
cranes as a man might handle three
foot section of one inch lead pipe.
There are three of these cranes at Wa
tervliet-two of so tons each and one Of
120 tons. They are simply great bridges
which span the buildings width and
run its length on trucks not unlike car
trucks on elevated trestles, one each side
of the factory. The larger one works by
electricity.
One Of the chief objects in building
mp gun rather than casting it is that
1t may have greater strength than an
equal amount of cast or forged steel Of
the same proportions. Another advan-
tage is that by making q gun in thin
layers the quality of the metal may be
known all the way through-a thing
impossible in thick castings
When the tube has been measured, it
is lifted by one of the big cranes to a
lathe Of monster proportions, and it is
trough bored," as it is called This
process requires several days, and when
completed the crane again comes and
lifts it to another lathe, where the
shrinkage surface for the jacket is turn.
ed. 1t is then q bright, smooth shining
cylinder. The jacket is simply a steel
cylinder large enough when expanded
by heat to go over the tube. 1t covers
the tube for little more than one-third
its length from the breech.
When the tube and the jacket are
ready, the most interesting, the most
delicate and the most significant of all
the processes comes next. This is the
operation of shrinking" The coat is
to be heated until it is large enough to
go on over the tube, and then, cooling,
the tough baud of steel is to contract
with such irresistible force that the
mighty steel cylinder will be compressed
until its bore shrinks under the enor-
nous pressure.
In the center of the factory is the
shrinkage pit. 1t is an excavation 80
feet deep, with an exterior opening 40
feet long and 20 feet wide. When they
began to excayate it at the Watervliet
factory, it was found that solid rock
lay underneath the building to more
than that depth. The pit is therefore
nothing but an excavation into solid
rock No retaining walls were needed.
A furnace occupies portion of this pit,
in which the jackets and hoops are
heated. There is at the bottom and
built upward some distance apparatus
by which one of the monster guns may
be balanced and clamped immovable in
a vertical position.
When the jacket is put ON and has
cooled, the gun is lifted from the pit
and carried down the room to the lathe.
The processes by which the tube was
prepared for the jacket are repeated
with the different sets of hoops. Five
times the l2 inch gun makes the jour
ney to the pit Each time it comes out
heavier by many tons than when it
went in, and each time it assumes more
and more the appearance Of cannon,
losing its harmless appearance as a cyl

has been Drought intoa certain degree OF
popularity.
There are some novelty goods in silk and
wool in plaids with thick and fine threads
which form the design. Some of them
have apparently ribbon laid along the
goods, but this is woven in the pattern and
the lines forming the plaids are thrown
ovor it. This is very handsome and is
called Japan plaid. French chsllies finer,
softer and more exquisite than ever before
are put forward. Some are polka dotted,
some have the dainty flowers we all so like
and others have n sort of Kaleidoscope de-
sign in many colors. Others are striped
or plaided with satin lines. These ohal-
lies are produced In no less than 80 shades
and colors
For gowns for late spring and early
summer nothing is handsomer than the
silk grenadines. The iron frame grena-
dine done in sewing silk is strong, as its
name indicates and likewise handsome,
though less snowy than some of the others.
There are lacelike grenadines, bayadere,
rice and camel's hair. The last has little
whitish hairs forming fuzz all over the
surface. The rice has little Jumps in the
weave, which give it the name The baya-
grenadne is more or less transparent and
is therefore made over bright colored silk
lining unless one wishes an oil black
dress. This material is as suitable for out
door as indoor wear. Comparatively it is
not expensive.
There is stuff of a silky fiber, looking
as though crushed, and this is called shred
ded wheat. Another is named oatmeal

and such as blends with almost anything

three of these are entirely novel and will

Violets as massed trimming on hats and
bonnets are unexpectedly popular. The
twisted shepherdess hats are literally COW
cred with them. All the shades furnished
by that flower are used. Pink buds and
Violets are mingled as trimming on much
Of the millinery. Some dainty bonnets
and hats are made Of braiding composed
of loosely rolled strands of chiffon and silk
null, sometimes in oolors, again in all
white and white and black. Bands of this
arrangement are often seen around the
sailor and the shepherdess shapes.

such a dainty bit in my bag, it seldom
staid there many minutes. Although ]
had dispatched hearty breakfast before
starting, out would come the dumpling.

it is as big as mother generally makes
them," l would say to myself. Then
would turn it about and admire its size.

We have thought that as far as reform
hygienio garments were concerned we
were far In advance Of any other nation,
but from positive information we find that
the Germans go much beyond us in such
matters Particularly do the mothers Of
growing girls favor the healthful reform
garments" as they call them. English
mothers put stiff stays upon their young
daughters when they are about IA "to
make form, " and as fast as the child oan
bear it she is laced tighter and tighter
until an abnormally long waist and pro.
truding bust are the result. French girls
are laced, too, as general rule, but less
than the English maldens.
The Americans do as they please, but
generally allow fuller play for their vital
organs and wear their garments comforta-
bly, loose. Certainly many wear corsets,
but quite as HlaDy more wear ono or an
other of the health waists made in such
quantities. Still others, and these of the
thinking class, do not wear even those
health waists, but have pretty well fitting
undorwaists made, literally treated to
featborbone in all the seams. This is so
flexible and so light that no matter how
many seams there are it cannot harm.
Buttons fasten the front and they are not
made to lace In the back, SO that it can be
seen that the plan is good.
Even the most advanced reformer in this
country manages to have the appearance
of true feminine grace in her health gar
1nonts. The Germans, think, rather
prefer that no mistake should be made,
and therefore the wearers certainly do look
rather stout in their reform clothes.
One fashion, or rather style of this
fashion, shows dress of pearl gray poplin
