have all met just such people who

IS WORLDS LARGEST LATHE
Immense Piece Of Machinery Turned
Out for Use Of United States
Government.

Those who live inland, and, In fact,
all who are not fairly familiar with
the large guns used for sea coast de-
Tense, can hardly appreciate the huge
size of lathe necessary to turn and
bore them. The lathe being designed
and built by the United States Naval
Gun shop at Washington. D. c., by the
Niles-Bement-Bond company, at the
Bement works, ia the largest made.
The lathe is SO long that the prepare
lions for It's installation include the
construction Of tunnel extending out
under a highway, as there was not
room for 1t between the walls Of the
shop.
The lathe bed itself Is 175 feet long
and is made in FIVE sections, but the
total overall length, including projec-
tons at the end of the bed, brings Ii
up to e1S6 feet. The main portion OF
the bed on which the carriages travel
has three broad shears, the total
width being 10S inches, or 9 feet, and
the length 1903 feet The rest of the
bed extends under what is called the
boring bench. which has two shears.
The total width of this is 81 inches
and the length rs feet. The weight
of the machine complete with electri-
cal equipment is $1,000 pounds, or 400
tons.--American Machinist.

FOUND GOLD LONG HIDDEN
ancient Prophecy Fulfilled But Puzzle
Concerning the Earliest Celtic

The quantity OF pUre gold ornaments
found In Ireland and in the Celtic
parts of Scotland is one OF the puzzles
OF the civilization of the ancient Celtic
peoples. says the duke OF Argyll.

low level was required. Superstition
among the croftee made them avow
that the concealed gold would never

came. Powder was utilized to blast
away the big boulder-stone. Flowing

The plowman waited at some dis

taken effect. When the pieces of rock
were removed the pillow was drawn
over the site. II was a recently-em.
