shown in the picture is 6 feet, inches.
It's length is 40 feet, Q inches. 1t will
be by far the most powerful gun ever
constructed. Lieutenant John F.
Meigs, formerly of the United States
Army, under whose supervision the
gun is being built, says of it:
''Its projectile will weigh about 2,300
pounds and it's velocity will be in the
neighborhood of 1000 feet per second.
The range of such gun would be very
great-not less than ten miles; and its
extreme range, or the utmost distance
to which 1T could throw a projectile,
would be in the neighborhood of Is
miles, according to Lieut.. Meigs. Its
power is so great from the weight of
the projectile that no armor-clad could
receive blow from 1t without perfora-
tion Of her armor."

126 tons. When that gun Is placed in

All the metal used Is fluid and

HARD FATE FOR
LUCKLESS DOGS.

At Point Brcexe. just outside Of the
limits of Philadelphia, at bend Of the
Schuylkill river that is found by every
breath of winter, 270 dogs are being
trained to draw large sledges in the
Klondike. They will be shipped there
as early as possible next spring and it
is intended they shall form a line from
the gold fields to some point on the
coast not yet determined.
1t has been ascertained that the sup
ply OF Esquimaux dogs dogs obtain
able on the way to or In the Klondike
regions, is altogether insufficient to
meet the demand. This fact is what has
caused the curious spectacle that may
be seen any day at Point Breeze.
The dogs are all sorts, none more
than two years old. none less than
twenty inches high. Brawny dogs too.
most of them. for weakling would be
of small use in the Klondike. Every
one of them is as young and vigorous
as dog can be. and each day they are
all becoming more and more accus-
toned to the lack of those things that
dogs generally get in civilization.
Their quarters. when the dogs are not
being driven, are some windowless
sheds-windowless because there are
only openings where the windows used
to be- and the cold and storm come in
as they please without effort being
made to stop them. This is for the
purpose OF hardening the dogs, and APP

the theory that it should make them

Just as soon as 1t Is considered ad-
visable-probably next April-these
dogs will be placed in a three story

From Seattle they will be transported
to whatever point from which the
Klondike is accessible that the owners
of the sledge line for which they are
being trained may decide upon.

are only just fairly in operation. for it
was not until November % that fires
were lighted in them for the first time.
Mr.. Brice declares that the only rea-
son gold has not been manufactured
before is because no one hitherto has
ever been able to learn just exactly
what gold consists of.
He says that it was borne in upon
him that the reason Investigators had
failed to learn the secret of the trans
mutation of metals, was that they had
never stopped to consider that the re-
duction of gold itself or silver was not
at all likely to result in showing the
exact proportion of the elements that
went to constitute each. Mr.. Brice,
therefore, experimental in ways that
he keeps to himself, and one day. al
most by accident, he succeeded in
making both gold and silver at the
same time. So he claims.
The particular ore used by Mr.. Brice
in the creation of the most precious of
metals is known as the ore of anti
mony, and it costs about SIS ton. The
10000 tons of ore day which it is pro-
posed to prepare from the ore of anti
mony by means of peculiar processes
which are Mr.. Brice's own, when re-
fined by the usual processes of refining
base bullion, will yield $4,000 to the ton.
One of the features / Mr.. Brice's
method consists in the use of artificial
volcanos, the principle of which Mr..
Brice learned by living six months on
the slopes of Vesuvius while that
mountain was in eruption. The ore of
antimony contained in crucibles is al
lowed to remain in these volcanos
forty-eight hours. 1t is then crushed,

The authorities of the town of Shell
burne, in Nova Scotia. have just placed

North America. 1t was built in Eng

tury, and became the property of the
Crown. When King George III. as
cended the throne of England, It was
considered fine machine, and one day
when the monarch's attention hap
pened to be called to Sheburne for
some reason or other, he decided that
he would make some sort of a present
to the place, and as result presented
the town authorities with the machine.
That was in 1895, a little more than
a hundred years ago; and the people
of Shelburne thought themselves very
fortunate indeed to become possessors
of so modern an aid in the fighting of
flames. 1t was very handsomely paint
ed, we'll built, of lasting material, and
for long time it was the towns chief

fire fighting apparatus that left the

pare the electric disruptive charge with
that of the ordinary machine. Per-
haps the largest X-ray machine in the
country next to that owned by Prof
Trowbridge is the property of Prof. ".
]. Morton, of New York. The distance
between the positive and negative
poles in this machine is not more thana
foot; it is over this distance that the
disruptive electrical discharges pass
from pole to pole. Imagine, therefore,
a machine where the positive and neg
ative poles are four feet apart and
some idea of the immense superiority
of Prof. Trowbridge's machine can be
gained.
The X-ray that this giant machine
can make possible is more powerful
than any of which Prof. Roentgen ever
talked-or dreamed. probably. 1t is
believed that through it and the de-
velopments resulting from its use
new era will dawn so far as the avail
ability of the X-ray is concerned. Here
is a light powerful enough to test the
theories of the experts who have
claimed that the possibilities of the
X-ray are only limited by the degree
of development.
Electricians who are studying the
X-ray problem in different cities of the
United States are discussing the ad-
visa bility of inviting Prof. Trowbridge
to carry out various proposed tests of
the powers of the ray, with view of
settling forever the disputed question
as to the effect of a tremendous in
crease of the penetrating power. Mr..
Edison is authority for the statement
that the construction of this machine
can best be likened to the dawning of
a new day in the world of electricity.

NEW GRIST FOR
AN AGED MILL.

An old colonial grist mill that ground
corn for Washington's army in the
days of the Revolution has just begun
grinding again for the farmers near the
s upper portion of Wissahickon Creek,
four miles northeast of Chestnut Hill,
in Pennsylvania 1t is more than
hundred and twenty-five years OLD;
vet the old Piper mill is as strong ana
steadfast apparently, as when the
Colonies were fighting for their I'D
erty.
Nowadays the place where it is To-
Gated is known as the Thomas estate,
and the big three story gray stone
structure looms up just as do the mem
cries of Lexington and Bunker Hill.
Every one of it's great cross-joists ana
beams were hewn by hand from solid
uuartered oak logs. Tha is the kind
of timber that lasts. IN olden times
this was the only mill anywhere near
the section of country where 1t stands,
and therefore about all the grain that
was raised for miles and miles around
it was brought there to be ground. In
fact until the day of steam power In
grist mills. its wheels whirled merriiy
every day, and the miller and his men
had that satisfied appearance OF those
who have plenty to do.
1t is now a little more than hfty
years since the mill ceased operations.
The old wooden shafting and quantity
wrought oak cogs and angle wheels
stood motionless and covered with
dust, left just as they were in the days
when prosperity smiled on the miller.
The spider wove his web and the BIRDS
sought shelter from storms in the OLD
mill. year after year and decade cfter
decade.
A few weeks ago it was decided that
so substantial a structure thoroughly
adapted to even modern milling, should
no longer remain in diSuse. 1t would
not do to attempt to operate with the
old fashioned gear and plant, so 1t was
decided to bring it up to date by the
removal of the ancient running gear,
and by substituting modern steel
shafting and steel cogs.
Down came the old square and octa-
gonal main shaft, together with the
quaint old paddle mill-wheel-just the
same wheel that poets have ~-ritten
Of just the same as the one of which
our grandfathers have told Us. Up in
their places went a modern iron tur-
bine and a six-inch steel main shaft.
The mill looked the same on the out
side, to be sure, but the spiders had
gone from the old interior and the
birds nested there no longer.
This was not all. In the old days.
the r1ill race, as it was first built, was
quite big enough. Not so now. 1t was
found necessary both to widen and
deepen it. The old semi-circular dam
was discovered to have outlived its
usefulness, and this, too, was recon-
structed. The true American spirit,
while it may rebuild, has no love of de-
stroying the old-time landmarks, and
the few changes which have been made
have, except so far as was unavoida-
bic, not been allowed to alter the gen.
eral appearance of the old mill.
The changes were completed few
days ago. The great doors that have
been closed to the public for half
century were again opened and now,
after a silence of fifty years, the old
mill again vibrates to the power that
grinds the grain.
