The London costermonger is an in

foot to get him removed as a nuisance
by the new borough councils. and he
is organizing TO fight II. AS there are
90, 900 OF him In London, he has chance
OF winning His chief value for those
who do not deal with him lies chiefly
in his independent attitude toward
London life. His characteristic dress
has been made familiar to us by Mr..
Cheyalier, and is modelled ON style

and along the seam OF the trousers as

Another viking shin Fouus

Another Viking ship, or rather boat.
has been unearthed near Kiel, but this
new discovery cannot compare in di-
mensions with the finest specimen of
its kind, which may be seen by tour
lists at the museum in ChriStiania. In
fact, this clinker built Viking vessel.
which is about the size of one ossur
modern fishing boats, is perhaps the
most interesting thing to be seen in
all Norway. Those who see it will
realize for the first time why star
board or "steer-board," is applied to
the right side Of vessel, as the helm
protruded from this side, and not from
the stern, which is practically The same
as the bow. There is a popular i'm
preston that viking" is etymologic-
ally synonymous with "Sea-King"-
but this is erroneous. The word is not

GUN BARREL MAKING
Process Employed In English and
Belgian Factories.
Iron and steel bars sa.dwicheA TO.
ssther I'm Bundles and Rolled
Out I.to Ribbons In
the Work.

shotgun barrels are made OF mix
ture OF pig iron and mild steel. The
iron is first melted in a furnace, which
removes the dross, and then. while
cooling, is shaped into chunks or
blooms" A steam hammer forms
these into square blocks at the same
time condensing the metal and max
ing II purer. The blocks are put
through successive sets Of rolls until
they are reduced TO rods about fve-
eighths Of an inch square. The roll
ing interlaces the fiDers Of the metal
and increases its tenacity and ductil-
| lty. The mild steel Is prepared from
Swedish pig, and 10 worked into rods
in the same way as the iron. says the
Little Chronicle.
The iron and steel bars are sand
wiched together in bundles. The
finest barrels are about 90 per cent.
steel and 40 per cent. iron. Each bun
die is put in a furnace, hested white
hot, welded into single bar, and
finally rolled out into rod. This rod
is reheated and twisted by machinery
until 1t has 10 to is turns to the inch.
The twisting shortens the rod, makes
il half as thick again and toughens
the metal. Two OF the twisted rods are
now laid side by side with the twist
running in opposite directions, heated,
welded and rolled into fat ribbon
one-half inch wide and not quite so
thick.
This ribbon Ia wound round q man
drel much as child winds a piece Of
tape around its finger, and in this
way a tube is formed which is really
half OF the future gun barrel. The
other half is made in the same way, with
another ribbon, and the two parts are
welded together so skillfully that the
were joined. II twist barrels are
wanted the ribbons are wound 30 that
the edges OF the spirals merely touch
each other and in that position are
welded together. For Damascus bar.
rels the spirals are wound so that they
overlap each other.
Next the barrel Is smoothed on the
outside and bored inside to the proper
gauge, by means OF lathe. II bar
rel Is to be choke bored, the bore IL
given gradual enlargement of two or
three hundredtbs Of An inch, from q
point near the muzzle TO the breeeh.
After boring, the barrels are brazed
fast to the breech block, and, IL for .
double-barreled gun, the connecting
ribs are soldered in position.
The barrels are colored by mix
ture of acids. They are painted with
the acid several times. and after each
treatment are laid away several hours
aud then secured with a steel brush.
Finally they are dipped in boiling wa
ter, secured. rubbed and polished with
oil.
American gun makers buy most OF
the gun barrels they need, getting
them in the rough from English and
Belgian factories and putting on the
finishing touches themselves.
The different heatings. rollings,
weddings and twistings that gun metal
gets while being made into barrels
give II wonderful purity and strength.
A gun practically never bursts unless
there is some obstruction, such as
snow, dirt and the like In the muzzle.
1t is near the muzzle, too, that a gun
usually breaks.
