No Fixation In Space.

The common idea as to the path Of
the earth being fixed i'll space" is tax
Ell exception TO by astronomers on the
ground that there are few if any things
III the domain of astronomy that can
really be called fixed space, that fact
being that unccasing changes are going
on, though these changes are generally
so slow rs to escape the notice of su-
perticial observer, but are fortunately
periodic, so that they fall within the
possibility of computation. Thus the
earth's path is not fixed, since the
ecliptic undergoes very slow change,
so that, while at present 1t is few Sec
onds more than 90 degrees 81 minutes,
in about Is, 600 years, astronomers cal
culate, it will be reduced to - degrees
is minutes, after which it will begin to
increase again, change SO slow and
within such narrow limits that it car
produce no sensible alteration in the

A TRANSPOSITlON.
1t Mangled the Salutation, but the King
Controlled His Face.

1t Mangled the Salutation, but the King
Controlled His Face.
An American who years ago served
as our minister to Spain was fond of
telling the following joke upon himself:
Shortly after he had become settled
in his new home he was hidden to a
state ceremonial, where he was to be
presented to tho king. His knowledge
of languages was limited to English
and French, and being DESTROYS of adj
dressing the sovereign i'll his own tongue
he took pains to coach" for the occa-
sion. Several phrases were rehearsed
until he felt that he had mastered them.
When the critical moment arrived, he
saluted the king with great dignity,
spoke few words in Spanish and pass
ed on.
"What did you say?" asked an Eng
fish gentleman.
Il spoke i'll Spanish, twas the rejoin-
der II said, Il cast myself - your
feet, which / am told is the most re-
spectful form of salutation.
"Ah, no." corrected Spaniard, who
had been observed to.-smilo at the en-
bassador's greeting. ~You are mistaE-
en-. You transposed your words, and
quite altered the meaning"
"What did say" asked the diplo-
mat.
With twinkle in his eye the Span
lard made answer, What you really
said was L throw my heels at your
head 80
But the king had not betrayed by SO
much as the fluttering Of an eyelid that
anything unusual had occurred. -Har-

DYNAMITE GUNS.
Fifteen NLsn In Relays Are Required to
Work Them.

Eht<~h 2h11 An ANSAaSo hho As~NNANS~
Work Them.
Dynamite guns, such as are used upon
the Vesuvius, are operated upon an en-
tirely different, principle from the ordi-
nary powder guns. They have engines
and boilers and air compressors and
coolers and all sorts of intricate ma
chinery in house not far away, by
which the projectiles are fired. The
dynamite or gun cotton or explosive
gelatin or whatever the explosive ma
terial may be is contained in the pro.
jectile only. This projectile is called an
"aerial torpedo" by the manufacturers
and is exploded by means of fuse
similar to any powder guns.
Dynamite or any other high explosive
cannot be used in an ordinary cannon,
because the powder would explode the
fore the system of using compressed air
came into vogue as the only method of
throwing dynamite to any distance. The
air is compressed and passed along
through various tubes before reaching
the gun and is used at about 1000
pounds pressure to the square inch,
which is much less than the power Of
powder. Dynamite will be exploded at
about 5000 pounds pressure to the
square inch. These guns are enormous
affairs, smoothbore, so feet in length,
made of the best iron, in three sections,
Hanged and bolted together and support
ed on steel carriage. The carriage is
mounted upon steel racing ring, so
called, and the system of handling is by
means of an electric motor. AS these
guns are covered by large number Of
patents they are very expensive, costing
the government many thousands of dol
lars each. Fifteen men in relays are
required to work them.
The gunner stands upon q platform
on the left side Of the carriage, uses
fine telescope sight and when all is
ready he pulls lever which allows the
compressed air to enter the gun, and
the discharge takes place. These guns
are all loaded at the breech, and the
projectile is handled by separate car
riage. The projectilo is about 10 feet in
length for the Is inch gun, and when
charged with 500 pounds of dynamite
or gun cotton weighs fully 1000
pounds. 1t is steel tube composed of
walls three sixteenths of an inch thick
and has spiral vane at the rear. The
fuse is foot in length and weighs 90
pounds. This fuse contains two pounds
and half of dry gun cotton and a few
grains of illuminate of mercury as de-
tonator. 1t is set to explode at impact
OR as the gunner may desire as to time
