THE NEW WIRE GUN.

itcannOt be burst with gunpowder, mark
ing for that reason limit of possibili-
ties in gunmaking.
Uncle Sam, through his board of ord
nance and Notifications, recently ap-
propriated SAL 900 for the construction
and testing of the six-inch Brown wire
wound gun whose performance was
witnessed a few days ago at the Sandy
Hook proving grounds AS a result of
the initial firing test new international
record was made for a gun SO calibers
long
Briefly forecasting the possibilities of
this new ordnance wonder, it is said
to promise the absolute impregnabil-
ity of the metropolis against any bonn
harding battleship or squadron equipped
with the mightiest guns now in commits
sion. Six of the new guns, mounted so
as to command the sound and harbor
approaches to the city augmented by
the powerful chain of forts extending
from Fort Rodman, near New Bedford
to Fort Hancock, on Sandy Hook,
would, according to reliable authori-
ties, afford a barrier impossible of pas
sage.
Speaking of the new artillery record
breaker an ordnance officer at the prov
ing grounds said: THE full significance
of these figures will be realized by COM
pairing them with the ballastic of the
6-inch, 50-caliber navy gun designed
for muzzle velocity of 1900 feet a
second when firing a projectile of the
same weight Yet the figures tell their
own story, and to anyone who has fol-
lowed the development of modern ord
nance it will be seen that no other gun
has approached 1,204 foot tons of en-
-ergy per ton weight of gun, the nearest
to it being the Krupp 5O-caliber 12-inch
gun, which develops 946 foot tons per
ton weight of gun"
Brleny, the new gun now being tested
at Sandy Hook has fundamentally a
forged steel lining tube, with an electric
limit of $4,000 pounds and an ultimate
resistance of 105,000 pounds to the
square inch. This tube extends the full
length of the gun, or 26 feet inch, and
1t is enlarged from a siX-inch diane
ter at the bore to nine inches in the
powder chamber, layer being ADDED to
layer by wire wrappings until the gun
is finished engine of war.
In speaking of the new sun, Col. Smith,
commander of the Sandy Hook proving
grounds, said: 'It has a number Of
good points, excellent points, in fact:
but. to my mind, its real value cannot be
determined until we have thoroughly
tested 10 and 20-inch guns of the same
pattern. Since the best and surest cure
for war is its. prevention, and since
the best preventive is to be always for
midably equipped fer war. We as ma
ton need more big guns, rather than
smaller ones. l believe. after consider
able study and experience, that 10 and
12-inch guns, accurately aimed and de-
liberately fired, are far, far more damag-
ing than guns of smaller, say, three, four
and six-inch caliber This has been
very effectively shown in the Manchu-
rian campaign"

The Kremlin, within which Grand

FRANKLIN'S WISDOM,

Want of care does US more damage
than want Of knowledge.
For want of the nail the shoe was
lost, and for want of shoe the horse
was lost.
For age and want save while you
may, no morning sun lasts all the day.
Experience keeps a dear school, but

Lying rides upon debts back; it is
hard for an empty bag to stand up

Creditors have better memories than
the debtors.
What maintains one vice would
bring up two children.
Plow deep while sluggers sleep; and
you shall have corn to sell and to
keep.
Work today, for you know not how
much you may be hindered tomorrow.
Who dainties love shall beggars
prove. Fools lay out money and buy
repentance.
Foolish men make feasts, and wise
men eat them.
He that by the plow would thrive
himself must either hold the plow or
drive.
The eye of the master will do more
work than both his hands.
Silks and satins, scarlets and vel
vets put out the kitchen fire.
Always tax ing out of the meal tub
and never pu tting in, soon reaches the
bottom.
Drive thy business, let not that
drive thee. Sloth makes all things
difficult, industry all easy.
Early to bed and early to rise makes
man healthy, wealthy and wise.
II you would know the value of
money try to borrow some.
When the we'll is dry they know the
worth of water.
Not to oversee workmen is to leave

If you would have q faithful SER

By diligence and perseverance the
mouse eats the cable in two.
Diligence is the mother of coed

ANIMALS NEW TO SCIENCE.

Among collection of some twenty
living animals received some time
since by the New York Geological
Society from Captain Thos. Golding,
of the ship Alfrida, was small, white
creature that proved to be a puzzle to
all natural history experts who saw it
1t is twentyone inches long-a little
more than twenty-seven, counting in
the tail-and stands rather more than
ten inches high at the shoulders.
1t rather resembles small Spitz
dog, but it is not dog any more than
it is raccoon, although the shape OF
the head and the face marking that
seem to belong so peculiarly to the
family of Procyonidae, are marvel
ously initiated in this little beast.
Perhaps it resembles white Arctic
fox more than it does any other crea-
ture. 1t has been called a white fox
IN the country (Northern JAPAN from
which Captain Golding obtained it,
but it is evidently no more fox than
it is dog or raccoon.
1t has now been admitted to the
great assembly of classified animals
under the name of Nyctereutes albus
or the white-raccoon dog. 1t is not
often one gets an opportunity of gaz
ing upon a brand-new animal never be-
fore known to scientific biologists.
Another very rare animal-so far
as the writer knows, the first animal
of its kind ever seen on this side of the
Atlantic-the socalled Tasmanian
wolf; zebra wolf, or pouched dog.
Thalacinus cynocephalus, is to be seen
at New York Geological Park. Al
though not new to science it is in
some respects more intesting ami
NAL than the white raccoon deg. The
'Tasmanian WOLF so far from being
a wolf, does not belong to the dog
family. 1t is, in fact, marsupial, and
is more nearly akin to certain of the
kanagroos, than it is to the Canidae.
The female, indeed, has we'll develop
ed pouch, though the marsupial bones
are wanting, being replaced by carti-
lagos. The animal walks upon its
toes and partly upon half its soles or
palms, as may be seen more evidently
in the hind feet; this causes the body
to he brought much nearer to the
ground in running than is the case
with a wolf or dog, and constitutes the
Tasmanian wolf semiplantigrade.
The lower canine teeth in dogs pass
on the outer sides Of upper ones when
the mouth is closed, while the large
recurved CANNES of the Tasmanian
wolf in the upper jaw are separated
from the incisors by space into
which the point of the lower CANNES
fit when the jaw is shut. The animal
has the peculiar lower jaw of the
marsupials-the angle is infected; il
is, in fact, a marsupial with structural
parts foreshadowing those of the more
highly developed dog. Such an ami
NAL as this transports US back to those
primeval times when animals far more
more generalized than those that now
exist united in themselves diverse
