The war department. is about to mount
the largest gun in the world, at Sandy
Hook, New York harbor. When mounted
it will land a projectile weighing over a
ton at any place within a range of twenty
one miles. Its bore is sixteen inches.
1t uses 1000 pounds of powder for a
single discharge. Stood on its breach
beside a three-story building it would
project far enough above the roof for a
chimney, and lying on its side it would
shield full company Of 100 soldiers.
1t has taken four years to build it and
the cost is $4,000. 1t is believed that
one shot from this monster would sink
any vessel entering New York harbor.

, Before leaving the subject Of cat fall
lacies I may touch on another which Is
very prevalent-that cats loveAlaces, but
not people Numberless instances might
be adduced to disprove this, but perhaps
one which Is rather striking may suffice.
I knew intimately, at Endoume, Mar
settles, a black cat who was good enough
to live with great friend Of mine and
his wife. They not infrequently took their
walks abroad, so to speak, as far as
Italy and Corsica, for instance.
Wherever they went the cat went with
them, and wherever they stopped the cat,
sons. cared for nothing but to be in their
company. Insomuch that the Italian hotel
people were wont to make signs of aston
ishment and exclaim that the cat must be
a dog in. disguise. -. ~
Let me quote, as bearing upon this,
what Theophile Gautler, one Of the great
est possible authorities on the ways Of
cats land Dogs, says among other dicta.

easy task. It is a philosophical creature,
settled in it's ways, tenacious of habit, de-
voted to order and cleanliness, and the
last person to give his affections lightly.
He is pleased to be your friend, if you are
worthy of the honor, but he will never be

eyes SO deep, SO expressive OF affection,
SO human that it becomes startling. be-
cause it is impossible to suppose that
there is no definite thought behind them"
