THE GUN MOUNT TRUST.

General William trCZlcr, chr'i vi
ordnance. war department. in his an
nual report pays casual attention 10
the new Springfield pattern of imam
trv rifle. He has very ntlle to say
of its excellence. contentEs himseh
with stating that his rife has proved
70 be more powerful. accurate anu
rand than the rifle of the krag-Jor-
gensen type. which it replaced.
However the fact that the chief OF
ordnance has managed to divert MS
attention from the mounts for d!sap-
pearing guns long enough to glance
at the infantry rife is encouraging.
Years ago two captains in the ar
tiilery branch Of the United States
army elaborated in the invention OF
q carriage for disappearing guns in sea-
coast Notifications. Perhaps 1t Is
improper to say that they invented H.
They claimed to have improved upon
the type OF carriage employed in Eng
land and on the continent about two
decades ago.
However great she mechanical
genius manifested by Captains Bur
fington and Crozier in perfeciing the
mount for the disappearing gun, these
enterprising officers later have dis
counted their triumph along this line
In q political direction.
Fifteen years ago. Europe discard
ed che disappearing gun and its car
rage. About the same time the Unit
ed States adopted the idea. Follow
ing exhaustive tests. the war depart
ments across the sea came TO the
conclusion that. while the disappear
ing type Of seacoast gun possessed
certain advantages. these virtues were
more than counterbalanced by It's
faults. In rapid service. the gun was
liable to disappear and remain disap-

IF 1 were able, 1t would take too
long," replied Uncle, "but here are
few interesting facts:
Uncle Joe's Story About Iron.
Water coming in contact with
iron in the ground partakes of the
iron. Vegetation drinking up iron
water through it's roots in the ground
absorbs the iron with the water. AL
most every thing we eat and drink
has some iron in It, Passing into the
body the iron is caught up and used
by the blood. Too much or too little
iron in the blood causes illness.
Iron is seldom found in it's pure
or native state, except in meteoric
stones and in certain ores, chiefly
platinum. Still, so widely is it dis
tgibuted throughout the earth in its
different forms and with its many
companion ores, 1t may be claimed to
be not only the most important, but
also mostNuniversal of metals known
to man. 1t certainly is the most use
full.
Everybody is familiar with the
uses of iron in its hard form, but
only few beside those who work in
1t have an adequate idea OF how it
is manufactured.
"ToHg the iron out of the ores in
which it is found it is smelted. or
reduced, by heat. Sometimes the ore
is roasted before the actual smelling
process begins. Blast furnaces are
employed in separating iron from Gre.
A blast furnace looks like big. fat
smokestaek. But it is built different
ly inside, as the interior widens for
about two-thirds of the way down
ward and then pinches together
again. The ore mixed with broken
coal and limestone is dumped in near
the top and blast of air heated to
600 degree Fahrenheit and upwards, is

played into the furnace. At the bot
tom is a tap-hole, from which the
melted iron is drawn and allowed to
run into rows of parallel moulds,
called pigs, which are formed in
sand. The iron so formed is called
'pig-iron.' That left in the runway
which feeds the pigs is called the
SOW The crude iron so obtained is
called cast iron.
There are about six kinds of cast
iron, No. l having large and clear
grain and a dark-gray color. 1t Is
the highest priced, and is mostly
used in fine castings. No. 6 is US
ually called white iron, and is not in
much demand. 1t is principally used
for sash weights and other objects
wherein weight and durability count
most
"Malleable iron is iron that may
be twisted and bent without break
ing. 1t is made by a process of re-
filming and pudding, or by boiling.
Horse shoes, pins, nails, wire, stove
pipe, dishpans and almost all objects
coming under the general term hard
ware are made of 1t. Stoves, foun-
tains and most ornamental objects
are of cast iron. In short, malleable
iron may be said to be the kind that
gives and cast iron, the kind that
breaks
steel is malleable iron that has
had the carbon taken out Of it and
then restored to a lesser degree. In
its first stage 1t is sometimes called
blistered steel, for 1t is full of cavi-
ties. Blistered steel is male into
other forms. one of which is called
shear steel. BY a succession of heat
ings and poundings the metal mass
is made more compact. Cast steel is
made by melting the blister steel in
clay cruicibles and running 1t off in
to what are known as ingots.
almost all of the modern imple-
ments of warfare are made of steel.
though in some few rare instances
such is not the case.
ITO pay visit to an iron or steel
mill while the plant is running and
the workmen are at work affords a
most interesting sight and one never
