LARGEST OF EARTH's GUNS.
SixteenInch Rifle Just Completed at
Watervliet Arsenal.

The biggest gun in the world il now
practically completed and awaiting
its carriage in the shops OF the army
gun factory at Watervliet, N. Y. It
was planned ten years ago and has
been over five years in process of con
struction. When compared TO
it the largest gun built In the civil
war times looks like toy cannon.
This new weapon is known az a six
teen-inch breech-loading rife and it is
intended for harbor defense. Forty
of these monsters were recommended
by the Endicott board for the harbors
of New York. Boston, San Francisco
and Hampton Roads. New York
, was to have eighteen, Boston eight,
San Francisco ten and Hampton Roads
four. According TO present intentions
this number will be somewhat reduced.
Some idea of the size and power Of
this gun may be had from the fact
that it throws projectile weighing
2,370 pounds. 1t requires 1,17G pounds
of ordinary powder TO do this, or SIG
pounds of the new smokeless powder.
The cost Of a single firing Of the gun
is over $1,000, OF which the projectile
alone costs $1,000. The gun has a
range OF twenty-one miles. IL has

ART OF THE HINDoo FAKiR.
Many of His Mystifying Feats Accom-
plished by Aid of HYpnotisn.

Captain James E. Parker, a we'll
known English traveller who has Just
returned from India, has added an en-
tirely new and remarkable chapter to
the many stories of Hindoo fakirs.
1t tends to bear out the charge that
the fakirs hypnotic their audiences
and cause them to imagine they see
things which are not.
THE acknowledged greatest of all
Hindoo mystic performances, said the
captain, "and the one that has been
told by trustworthy persons too often
to be doubted, is the one in which the
fakir throws a ball of Irvine into the
air above him. while he holds the
loose end of the string and then climbs
it, with a knife between his teeth,
following the boy assistant, who has
preceded him. In this performance
the spectators, surprised when both
boy and man climb out of sight, are
Mortified when the boys severed
head, arms and legs, followed by his
trunk, fall to the ground, with the man
sliding down close behind Their as
constituent is increased when the
fakir gathers the quivering members
and restores the boy to life
We'll, | saw this performance once
and once didn't see it. and the latter
experience was more wonderful than
the former.
II had some London friends visiting
me and after having left them for a
few minutes on the broad veranda OF
my bungalow ! saw as | was returning
the same fakir and his assistant whom
| had seen perform the trick standing
about forty feet in front of them ap-
parently preparing for their perform
ance. As ! was about the same dis
lance behind the Indians and had not
been observed | stood quietly where
| was.
THE man placed drawn knife be-
tween his teeth, took the usual ball Of
Irvine in his right hand, made a motion
as though throwing II in the air and
then stood perfectly quiet. My friends
on the veranda were looking into the
upper air with establishment pictured
on their faces. which In a minute
turned to a look of horror as their
eyes came back to the ground. In
another minute their corntenances
lit with pleasure and they loudly ap.
plauded.
They could not say enough about
the wonderful performance they had
seen and were astonished beyond
measure when | told them | had been
as near the fakir as themselves and

THAT OLD FOLKS HOME.
Ample Explanation in Regard to the
Egge Case.

G9Ec Odsc.
In regard to Thos. Egge. paralytic
who came from Bryant, S. D., and
was refused admission to the old PEG
pies home at Stoughton, Rev. Adolph
Bredesen of that city thus writes to
the Stoughton Hub
"To establish home for homeless
old people, Mr. and Mrs. Jerome
Scolen donated their valuable farm as
site, Mr.. and Mrs. Halvor Homme
donated the necessary furniture, and
other members of our church here and
elsewhere subscribed more than Sl5,-
600 to erect a suitable building. The
superintendent and matron. Rev. and
Mrs. NJ. r. Rub, are giving their serv-
ices for the small earthly reward OF
their board and 5000 per annum
Thus 1t has been made possible 10
give large number of worthy old peo-
pie comfortable home at a nominal
price. There is genuine charity in all
this To say that the home is a char
| liable institution only in quasi
sense, is gratuitous sneer. To say
that the custom of the place is TO
care for those who have means and
will leave their property to the insu
tuition, is a Misrepresentation. II IL
one of the rules of our home, and OF
all on nearly all such institutions, that
people vino have means cannot be I'D
mitted, except on condition that they
leave their property to the institution.
Such people do not need the home,
and ii was not intended for them
There is no harshness in such a rule.
and there is no reason why such PEG
pie should be admitted and cared for
at such an institution on any other
condition. The person who last week
was sent back TO Dakota by Poor Com
missioner O'Connell did not come here
under any misrepresentation. He was
advised by letter by Supt. Rub that he
could not be admitted as an inmate
because Of his physical and mental
condition. because he is a compare
lively young man. and for other rea
sons Rules and regulations have
been laid down for the guidance OF
| the superintendent and the directors
of Il e home. Under these rules, to
be received as an inmate a person
must be duly recommended, must
make application in due form to the
board Of directors, must be at least
60 years OF age, and of sound mind,
and must not be a helpless invalid
Our home for the aged is not, and was
never represented to be. hospital,
nor Is IT a poorhouse, and IT cannot be
made the one or the other without
great injustice to the inmates. Our
home Is undergoing the experiences OF
every institution of its kind. Because
we cannot admit and care for every
body who chooses to apply, or is sent
here by some one, we are called nm
charitable, etc"

Boomerang Advertising.

"Judicious advertising is the key.
stone of success" sure enough; but
what shall we say Of the boomerang
advertising? Representatives of two
firms in Portland, Me-, drove out along
a suburban road the other day with o
wagon load OF wooden sign boards.
Never troubling to ask permission they
invaded fields and orchards. ana
wherever they found a CONSPICUOUS
tree. anywhere within so feet of the
road. they nailed sign on it. One or
two landowners caught the scamps at
work ana elected them with vigor and
enthusiasm. but in most cases the mis-.
chief was done before people found IL
out. Happily, however, the matter
was not allowed to rest here. Three
or four citizens whose trees had been
defaced got together and talked the
thing over. and then followed the van.
dals right over their route and pledged
40 families not TO trade with the firms
responsible for the wooden signs.
And, considering that the signs got
torn down and broken up in the
course Of these proceedings. It is fair
to assume that the Portland mer.
chants would have found IL more
profitable 70 do their advertising

/ Then follows a conference with his

plunge into the arduous work of the
day. There are speeches to be made
that night, several of them-on Satur-
day night he addressed seven meet

he must make reply to the statements
of his adversaries, the newspapers
must be marked and called TO his at
tention. And all this work, the prep
aration of the speeches, everything.
must be crowded into comparatively
few hours.
1t is not proper to say that Mr.. Low
prepares his speeches as the word is
understood He never writes them.
He knows in general way what he
has to say, and with those mental
notes alone he steps upon the plat
form. This is what goes on day after

hard, but he says that he learned to
do it in his fathers business house.
There he started side by side with the

fathers stern rule of life and business,
of help or advantage. save those won
by his own efforts, and foot by foot he
climbed above his fellows. 1t was

would never have admitted him to it

Mr. Low has fine appreciation of
paintings, and in his Madison avenue

amples of dead and living masters. He
is a reader of catholic taste, save that
the light reading of the day earns
scant attention. Commercial and
financial themes and economics en-
gross him. In French and German
Mr.. Low is a proficient scholar. AS
to his fortune, he belongs to that small
class of rich men who are known for
themselves and not their millions. He
has not an enormous fortune as they
are rated in this generation, but he has
had enough to give Columbia $1,000.

which is the chief adornment of the

much from his father, Abel A. Low OF
Brooklyn, one of the wealthiest men
of his day. Careful investment has
augmented this, as his munificence to
