Our Biggest Gan.

Some spectacular particulars are
given Of the United States gun, which
will preserve Americas lnalienable
right to possess the biggest thing on
earth" 1t will weigh 126 TONS will
have a length of forty-nine feet three
inches, and a diameter--fne by degrees
and beautifully less-varylng from
sixty inches to twenty-elght inches.
1t will be able to fire its five-fOot-fOur-
inch projectile an extreme distance Of
nearly twenty-one miles-20.07S miles
is the exact figure-and a projectile
fired at the elevation required for this
distance will attain height of 3O516
feet, higher" says the picturesque
recorder, ethan the combined eleva-
tions of Pixies Peak and Mount
Blanc" Thus the record distance fired
by a Hrupp 9.2-inch gun on April
%, 1892, when twelve and half miles
were covered and q height Of 21456
feet was attained, will be completely
surpassed. London Post.

Mnkinr a runnel End nIe.t.

It is quite apparent that to dig
tunnel from two sides and make both
ends meet is a delicate problem, says
Eugene p. Lyle in Everybody's Maya
zine. Should they happen not to
mee,. 1t would be an expensive wan
dering in the mountain to find them
and get them together. But fortunate
ly there is a guide as true and un-
bendable as mathematics. This is an
imaginary straight line between two
points. One point is a little observa-
tory-shed on the bank of the Rhone,
with spy-glass pointing horizontally
toward Italy. The other point Is a
SIMILAR little observatory on the bank
Of the Doveria in Italy, with glass
towards Switzerland, Between the
two points r.ses in Simplon mountain
mass. But the straight line goes
through just the same, for it is only
an imaginary straight line. 1t is,
however, steadily turning into a reali-
ty-that is, the tunnel And II it were
not for the grade of the tunnel, then
some day the observatory IN SWltzer-
land could look through the mountain
at the observatory in Italy. 1t will
be objected, however, that we went
around a curve in the tunnel. In fact,
there are two curves, but they do not
affect the straight-line proposition.
There is a small tunnel which joins
the main tunnel some hundred metres
or 100 yards inside. 1t Is called the
locating tunnel, and faithfully follows
the imaginary straight line. The
main tunnel finishes its curve at this
hundred-metre point, and thence con-
tinues along the straight line to the
corresponding curve at the other end,
where again, the straight line Is COM
pleted by a second locating tunnel,

sedontnrY Athletes.

An Engllshman who has spent much
time in Paris has whimsically OBJ
served that the French make excellent
athletes, where they can sit down to
it. The statement is worthy of notice,
says the Paris Messenger. 1t Is gen
erally acknowledged that Frenchmen
cannot play cricket, and few Of them
care for football; but it is fact that
they are skillful horsemen, as may
be seen at the polo matches in the
Bois de Boulogne. They also row
well, as may be seen every day on the
Seine; and, above all, they cycle well,
as may be observed all over Paris. And
the bottom Of all this is Sitting
down."

tnfortunate For the Lady.

A curious instance Of absence Of
mind is, according to the Liverpool
Post, furnished by a certain Oxford
don, whose scholarly abstraction"
frequently lands him in difficulties.
Dining out one night he suddenly be-
came versed in thought and for a
time sat gazing at his plate, evident
ly deeply engrossed in some mighty
problem. Now it happened that his
left-hand nelghbor, portly dame, had
the habit of resting her hand on the
table, palm down and fingers closed.
Suddenly the professor avoke from
his brown study, seized his fork,
plunged it into the plump paw re-
posing to the left Of his plate, and.
beaming genially through his glasses,
remarked, my bread, think"

10 Protect WiId Flowers.

Persons interested In wild flowers
are endeavoring to create-and to or
ganize-a sentiment for the protection
of our native plants, especially near
large cities, says the Youths Com
panion. The pond lily, trailing ar
butus, native Orchids fringed gentlan
and many Of the evergreens have been
gathered in Massachusetts for sale in
such quantities and so steadily sought
by frequenters of suburban woods,
that their extinction is threatened.
The remedy suggested is that care be
used to cut rather than pull the fow-
ers, so that the roots need not be dis
turbed, and that those who gather
rare plants for the market should
be discouraged by lack Of patronage.
