stead of powder there is now inserted
in the touchholes of both pieces pro-
sale water pipe that in no way seems
to belong there. Before they enlisted
in the Industrial service of the Key
stone Bridge company the heads Of
both cannon were removed, so that
they are now open at both ends.
Through the great sixteen-inch bore,
water is pumped and is forced out by
long cylinders that are burdened by
$4,000 pounds of steel. This tremend-
GUS weight is released and, settling
the cylinders, forces them through the
bore of the cannon. Before them goes
the water that is thrown through the
pipes against machine known as an
"upsetter." At the other end of this
machine the 'T" bars used in bridge
construction are placed and the ends,
heated to white neat, are locked into
the "upsetter." The force of the water
from the cannon pushes the machine
against the end of the bar and starts
the head, that is later finished in the
big fve-ton hammer. Day after day
these huge guns have performed this
humble work, and when one looks at

CANNON OF GEORGE III.

From deadly implements of war
turned by the enemy against the sons
OF the land in which they have for
more than a century reposed to instru-
ments useful in the furtherance Of
peaceful industrial pursuits in that
same country, is the remarkable tran
sltlon through which two large can
non now in the works Of the Keystone
Bridge Company have passed. Cap
tured, it is supposed, by Gen. Gates at
the battle of Saratoga, one of the most
important engagements of the revolu-
ton, the cannon were placed in the
Pittsburg arsenal early in the last
century and remained there as SOU
venirs until 1893, when they were
bought by the old Shiffler Bridge Com
pany and placed in the mill to be used
as compressors. There for almost SO
years the old guns have done service,
and no better tools of their kind could
be found.
In a dark corner of the dingy plant,
hidden from sight, the greater part of
the time by the great weights sur.
rounding them, and smeared with
grease and CRIME, the old cannon still
retain their usefulness, and beneath
all the grease the royal coat-of-a arms
of the proud King George III. stand
out, the sole reminders of the days in
which they doomed in the service OF
the king. The royal crest is close
to the old touchholes of the guns. In
