Effect of Powder on Guns.

A serious trouble that confronts the
modern artillerists is the tendency of the
smokeless powders that are now exclusively
used to burn out the interior lining of the
guns, particularly near the powder cham
Der. The powder itself is the cause of
more or less anxiety because of its ehemi-
cal instability The erosion or burning out
of the interior tube of the gun, which is
in immediate contact with the powder
gases, is due to the high pressure and in
tense heat of the gases
At the instant a charge is fired great
volume Of gas Is generated, and, being
confined in the powder chamber by the
projectile, its pressure rises TO an enormous
amount, which, in the case of the service
charges in the United States guns, is as
high as seventeen tons to the square inch.
This Is accompanied by propoItionate rise
in the temperature of the gases
If il were possible to look into the pow
der chamber at the instant of discharge it
would be found to be at dazzling white
heat, As the projeetile begins to move
down the bore of the gun these white hot
gases rush cut of the powder chamber, and
as they stream from the larger chamber
into the smaller bore they literally melt the
hardened steel surface of the bore, the
process being probably assisted by some
chemical reaction not yet thoroughly I'M
derstOod
The gases, under the enormous pressure,
quickly find out the very smallest way Of
escape past the base of the shell, and they
stream at an enormous velocity and still at
white heat through any such slight open
ing and melt the hard steel of the guns
lust as a stream of steam or hot water
would cut its way through block of ice.
British artillerists have had great trou-
bic from erosion because of the quality of
powder which they use. The powder is
known as eordite, and the erosion is the
price which the British pay for certain
desirable qualities which are absent from
other powders that do not cause so much
erosion. Cordite consists of fifty eight
parts of nitroglycerin, thirty -seven parts
of gun cotton and FIVE parts vaseline, and
it is responsible for the serious eroding eff
feets. Bulk for bulk, the English powder
is much more powerful than the United
! States Navy powder.

DIAMOND DIES FOR WIRES.
Strands Six Miles Long Turned Out
Weighing Only One Pound.

r. d. futile, of Passaic, N. j., an
agent for a wire company, was at the
Broezel House recently, says the Buffalo
Express. There has been marvellous
development in the wire industry, he
said. Few people realize it. You can
get an idea of the fneness of some Of the
thread wire we re handling when | tell you
that there are over six miles of such wire
in pound-that is, copper wire drawn to
only three one thousandths of an inch in
diameter
tOf course, the hardest steel dies are
not sufficiently hard or suitable for this
kind of work. The wear on them so en-
larges them that while you may start in to
draw out certain size you'll find with
steel dies that at the end your wires diam
eter has increased.
Diamonds have proved quite satisfac-
tory for such work, say for turning out wires
Of less than OPS of an inch in diameter.
Sapphires also are used some With the
diamond, copper, platinum and even silver
wire are drawn and platinum can be got
down to wire FIVE ten thousands of an inch
in diamter
1.-The weight Of the diamonds so used
ranges from four to FIVE carats-not, of
course, of the first water-and they are
uncut except as to the die part In values
they run from SIS $50 a carat The total
value of the jewels thus being used in the
different wire factories of the country is up
in the hundred of thousands of dollars
Then, when you We comprehended
man 5 mighty practical work in this line,
think of the ugly-looking little spiders
One of the ordinary kind, I'm told, can
put out single thread so fine that it would
take about Is, 600 of them to equal in
thickness an ordinary single strand of sew
| ing silk, such as you can buy at any store.
Some very delicate electrical instru-
ments can be turned out with the use of
such tiny wire as the factories can com
mercially make now, but what keeps us
fellows on the road are the bigger sorts
There is much building predicted for your
city this year. m informed from the main
office, aud | We been sent here to get con
tracts for the grades of insulated wires
suitable for house and building wiring.
There are many miles of wiring in some
of the larger Office buildings and hotels.

Is This All So ?
From What TO Eat.

There is but one sure cure for the drink
ing disease or habit, and that is the sim
plest of all The cure consists in eating
fruits. That will cure the worst case of
inebriacy that ever inflicted a person. 1t
will entirely destroy the taste for intoxi-
cants and will make the drunkard return
to the thoughts and tastes of his childhood,
when he loved the Injuries which nature
had provided for him and when his appetite
had not become contaminated by false,
cultivated tastes and attendant false desires
and imaginary pleasures. No person ever
saw man or woman who liked fruit and
who had an appetite for drink. No person
ever saw a man or woman with an appetite
for drink who liked fruit. The two tastes
are at deadly enmity with each other, and
there is no room for both of them in the
same human constitution. One will GER
tainly destroy the other.

The Smallest Engine.

The smallest stationary engine in the
world, as far as its maker can learn, rests
entirely on scent piece, says the Mum
Gle Ind. correspondent of the lndlanap-
oils News. 1t is owned and was made by
John H. Cunningham, jeweler, of Eaton,
which is a small town ten miles north OF
Muncie. Cunningham has fad for max
ING miniature machinery.
The little engine operates at a remarka-
Bile rate of speed under pound of steam,
So small are some of the parts that mag
nifying glass is necessary to make proper
examination of them. The screws that
hold the parts together are made from
needles, the threads being so fine as to
defy the naked eye. The screws are a
fraction of millimeter in diameter. The
fiy wheel measures about ree-eighths Of
an inch in diameter 1t was turned
from steel by Cunningham, who says 1t is
the largest wheel that the engine will turn.
The engine has one sixteenth of an inch
stroke; the cylinder head measures one
eighth of an inch in diameter, while the
capped cylinder head measures fourth OF
an inch. The striking boxes are packed
with lint scraped from silk thread, cotton
being too coarse for the purpose.
Cunningham cannot estimate the power
of the little coutrivance whose steam is
generated in boiler made from hand
bicycle pump and heated by gas jet.
The engine thus far has never been able
to overcome greater resistance than that
furnished by the fly wheel.
The engine was first built on a 5-cent
piece, and Cunningham has now mounted
the coin and engine on small stand The
piping for the engine is small copper wire
drilled out in the centre and running to
the boiler, which is several times the size
and weight of the engine.
