WORLDS MOST POWERFUL GUN.

Composition Of the 16-inch Breech-
loading Rifle.
Describing the making of the most
powerful gun in the world, Day Allen
Wiley says, in THE Technical World
Magazines"
Technically this great 'peacemak.
err is called a 16-inch breech loading
rife. 1t is, perhaps, unnecessary to
say that the '16 inches refers to the
diameter of the bore, of the calibre.
In fact, this is so large that man of
ordinary size can crawl inside the
muzzle without difficulty. A better
idea Of the gun can be gained when it
is stated that the forgings for the
tube and jacket weigh no less than
1S4 tons. The tube itself Is 49R feet
in length, and, as the gun is of the
builtup type favored by artillery Off
GERS of the present day, it is reinforc-
ed at the base by the Jacket, which
was shrunk into position. The tube
is further strengthened by four sets
of hoops, which really make it of four
thicknesses of metal between the GEN.
ire of the tube and the breech."

Spectacle of the Lobbyist.

The profession of lobbying makes
men inexpressibly coarse, disgusting
ly sly and discouragingly pessimistic
on the subject of human character.
No man can be lobbyist without be-
ing all things to all men With the
religious humbug he must affect a
sanctimonious demeanor. With the
rake he must be ready to exchange
luscious jests and prurlent stories.
With the dull, pragmatic purist he
must be the sly, sleek hypocrite until
he lands his thick-witted victim. All
these activities are severe enough up
on the character OF the lobbyist. but
when he knows that they are perhaps
only preliminary to cash payment II
is scarcely to be wondered at that the
professional lobbyist becomes a sick.

Some of the Japanese papers print

acceptance of the peace terms became
known contain illustrations depicting
the prevailing sentiment. In the
Fochi shimbun (Tokyo) of Sept. 4
there is one entitled THE End of the

White, the latter with his tongue out,
are seen holding opposite ends of
string which they are pulling tightly,
strangling Baron Komura, while Pres

severe aspect, playing on the samisen.

At Yokohoma the Boyeki of Sept. 3
has a cartoon representing Baron
Komura on a scaffold painting the
rising sun black, his official colleagues
helping him. Count Katsura, the prime
minister, has his portrait surrounded
by skeleton heads of Japanese soldiers
killed in the war on the one side and
the angry faces of the populace on the
other.
In the Hochi Shimbun of Sept. S.
Baron Komura's portrait Is shown
flanked by two grotesque figures, that
on the left with long iron instru-
ment covered with spikes, and the
other with a Samurai sword The
two figures signify that he should

PRESENT TIME is THE BEST.
Refutation of Nonsense About the
"Good Old Days."

GOOD Old Days"
Sir Edward Fry, scholar and a
gentleman of the old school, has been
lecturing in London before the Bir-
beck college on the passing of the
good old times when life was so much
more joyous, and a venerable gentle
man of Brooklyn writes to the New
York Times to state his own recollec-
ton of "the good old days." This cor
respondent is about the same age as
Sir Edward, but he does not lament
the passing of the times which the
British gentleman recalls with SO
much regret. And why?
These are some of the significant
reasons why the gentleman of Brook
Ign does not mourn the good old
days" He recalls that when he was
a lad he was present at the trial of
a body of workmen in an iron foundry
who were convicted of conspiracy and
imprisoned for having struck for high
err wages. He remembers that In
those days the great majority OF me-
chanics could not read or write, that
the lowest priced newspaper cost
cents, and was. entirely beyond the
reach of the working people If they
had been able to read it. In those
rare old, fair old golden days" there
was little life, he says, for the work
ers but days of hopeless drudgery, re-
lieved by nights of drunkenness.
The gentleman's conclusion is that
the best days are the present days,
for the great mass of mankind.

Gold in Madagascar.

Consul Hunt of Tamatave writes
that there are bright prospects of gold
being found in fairly large quantities
in Madagascar. He says the exports
of gold in 1903 and 1904 amounted to
4,211 and 5,423 pounds. respectively.
The gold output of 1905 was 5,521.5
pounds, valued at $1,477,5O0. Quite
large number of persons are .Iros-
pecting for gold, but most of them are
men who have had little experience
in prospecting. What is needed is
experts. Gold dirt has been found
that yields $3470 per metric ton e 200
pounds). Collaborating reefs and al
luvial deposits have been found in
various parts of the island Some

all over the seventh district like

smart to deny the report at that
juncture.
Few, men in Kansas ever had the
personal following that Jerry Simpson
attracted in the seventh dis.

House.
The same crudities of speech that
characterized the statesman on the
stump marked his oratory in Con
gress. He had a penchant for attach.
ing singular verbs to plural nouns and
vice versa, and INDUCED in various

were overlooked to a large extent.

After serving two terms in Congress

at it's best, for that matter, was not
of the kind that protests against all

when wheeling was the fad, and
