A BATTLESHIP'S TEETH.
Modern Ocean Fighter Is Equipped
with Most Formidable
Armament.

The teeth of a British battleship are
many and various. Her largest bark
ers" are the four 12-inch guns she car
ries in her charlottesville modern eGi-
tion of the older turrets. These guns,
like all our later pieces of ordnance,
are re-wound"-that is, they con
sist of pair of steel tubes, over which
are wrapped between 40 and 115 miles
of specially-designed steel wire, says
the London Mail.
The gun itself weighs, when finished.
46 tons, and is mounted in all the latest
battleships Of the Majestic and Can
opus class. 1t is 37H feet long, and OF
12-inch interior diameter. The full
charge is G. pounds of cordite, with
which it can drive its s50-pound proiec-
tile clean through nearly n yard of
wrought iron at 1000 yards range, OF
31.2m. at twice that distance.
The secondary" but probably the
most valuable, portion of every battle
ships armament consists of her IL G.
inch guns. These weapons are also
wire-bound, are 20 feet in length, weigh
tons Is hundredweight, are construct
ed in much the same way as their lar
ger brethren with II to 80 layers OF
wire, will fire n cordite charge of 1874
pounds, capable of sending its 100
pound proiectile through IL inches OF
wrought iron at 1000 yards, and fire
IS shots in n minute.

An interesting Experiment.

A very interesting experiment may
be performed with a block of ice by
anyone when the ice is near the melt
ing point, says a well-known scientist,
If wire is put around the ice and a
sufficient weight is suspended to it, the
pressure Of the wire on the ice will
gradually liquefy that portion imme.
diately under the wire, which allows it
to sink into the ice slowly, and as
this process goes on the ice freezes to-
gether again behind the wire, so that
In time the wire will pass entirely
through the block and leave it solid
block, as it was before the experiment
began.-Albany Argus.

CLOWNS WITH THE CIRCUS.
some Are Heroes Even In. the Dress
ing Tent - Teaching the
Circus school.

The clown who now approaches with
the circus, is a hero in the circus as
we'll as out of ito the circus boy,
at any rate. When the circus was at
Madison Square Garden last year, says
the New York Post, there was a circus
rider of tender years-not more than
eight-with 1t. His father and mother
were riders and, in certain states,
where the law permits 1t, the child
had part in the act. Dressed in spang-
led white Hastings, he rode a white
horse bareback; he leaped through
hoops, and he was hoisted to the Shout
ders of his father and so carried at
mad pace around the ring. This was
all a pleasure to him; but it was his
ambition to be clown.
He was not permitted to appear in
Madison Square Garden; the Gerry
society agents were too formidable.
And this distressed him very much, as
appeared one night in the dressing
room, when his father and mother
were in the ring. and he could hear the
applause. rising mufiled to where he
was. He turned "flip-haps" and hand
springs" for awhile; but one of the ac-
robats put a stop to this distraction
with: Here. Johnnie, quit that! You'll
sprain your ankle doing that on this
hard floor" The child stopped without
a word, and sat down on trunk, where
he sighed, and fell into deep thought.
Penny for your thoughts" was said
to him.

up quickly. 81 was thinking wished |

"What do you want to be a clown
for? Isn't riding good enough for
you?"
The clown gets more hands Zap
plause)," the child answered, knowing
~. "There's more fun in it, too. I'm
not going TO be a rider. I'm going
to be a clown" lie had. indeed, been
practicing the "nip-haps" with that
ambition; and now the circus people
say that he continued to do so all sea-
son long. and to spend odd moments on
the parallel bars between. the after
noon and evening performances a
| clown. as everybody knows, must he
more skiilful at everything than any
body else.
There are half a dozen or more chill
dren with every large circus, and they
have no opportunity to get an edmca.
| ton save in the winter time-some OF
them have no chance then. The cir
Gus school is something of a problem
every season. Some kind-hearted man
however, usually gives his time to
teaching the children, and school Is
kept on the benches in the big tent
after the afternoon performance. More
often than otherwise the teacher is a
clown; the clowns seem all to be good
hearted fellows-as might not be ex'
pected.
With large circus two seasons age
there was well-bred and educatot
clown, who taught gratuitously al
summer. The children were apprecia
tive and attended regularly; at any
rate, the clown was in control, anC
would compel both attendance and at
tention. When the performers were
about to dispense, the children sur
prised him one afternoon in the biz
tent and made him a small present, ac
companied by a great wreath of flow
ers. 1t was all the compensation he
got; but the people say that he count
ed it sufficient.
