STEEL FOR ARTILLERY.
Tremendous Pressure the Barrels of
Big Guns Must Bear.
Ito Be C%ontinued.)

Tremendous Pressure the Barrels OF
Big Guns Must Bear.
Modern high powered guns could not
be built without steel strong enough to
resist the enormous pressures to which
they are subjected. Few understand
how great these p~ressures are-almost
as far beyond ordinary comprehension
as are the distances of the stars or the
number of atoms in a glass of water.
An attempt to state the matter in a
form that will mean something to the
ordinary mind is made by a contribu-
tor to La Nature in an article entitled
''The Strains Resisted by Gun Metal"
He writes:
when the marvels of modern artil-
lery are described perhaps we direct
our admiration too exclusively to the
~mechanicians who have combined to
construct it. We must not, however.
forget the metallurgist. for it Is owing
TO the astonishing qualities of the metal
that the gun Is so we'll able to resist
the enormous strain due to the detona-
ton of the explosive.
IL Is interesting 10 cite ueTt SOuuc
figures published by Commandant Reg
nault. At each discharge of a gun. in
the ease of our field pieces. in less than
three-tenths of a second the pressure
exceeds twenty tons to the square inch.
and the speed of the projectile leaving
the muzzle is more than $500 feet a
second.
1.-The energy developed may be put
at about 100000 foot pounds. In 9th
err words. considering the cannon as a
motor working during an exceedingly
short time, we may place its rating at
about 20,O00.0 900 horsepower.
Not only must the metal be made to
resist these strains time after time, but
to do SO under ~unfavorable conditions.
such as the high temperatures produc-
ed by the explosives. And not only
must the metal of the gun be as strong
as this, but it is the same with that of
the shell. The shell of our seventy
Eve supports a pressure estimated at
seventeen tons. The work Of the de-
vice that takes up the recoil reaches
about twelve 0 to the square inch,
Inc the mount neutralizes at each dis
charge about two tons.
"In fact. these conditions are realiz-
ed in quite a remarkable way. 1t has
been possible to test ip the machine
shop the pieces of a battery that has
fred several thousand shots and to
show that they have suffered not the
slightest reformation.
This is why it is necessary to en-
ploy special steels. The use Of nickel.
in proportion of l per cent to 2 per
cent, gives to steel special qualities"

However, the air Of f1nality with
which she folded the notebook and
thereby seemed to dismiss the great

He saw no connection between her

And now, Mr.. Farnsworth," she
said briskly, what do you know OF

Ire lawyer was folding up his pa.
pers and putting them carefully away
in the drawer.
"Sandry? Why-not very much.
Miss Ordway. Simply that there is a
firm by the name of Sandry & MusseI
dorm which deals in fancy horses and
racing stock. They have magnificent
breeding farms in New Jersey and are
rated as rather more than financially
solid. Mr.. Wilton Sandry, the senior

"And where is this SOM"
"I do not know. He has been in

to me that he returned some time

HIS VIEW OF TIPPING.
1t Was Not the Mere Money That the
Old Waiter Craved.

Tips are said to be an evil of u
times, but the man who has to give
them makes the statement. That vast
number that receives the largest has
probably found it no crime. There is
much to be said on both sides, but l
cannot think that it is a system which
should be, indeed, can be abolished, for
the giving of a tip Is the recognition
of personal service. 1t Is the only way
one car thank q man who is not, in
his present capacity at least, in the
class of the one who dispenses the coin.
And there Is another reason-to argue
for the other side-that vas most beau
tifully exempliied in a story which
came to me recently.
A friend of mine took into service as
indoor man one who had attracted her
attention as a most perfect waiter in a
hotel. She paid him the same amount
that he averaged as a waiter, and she
found him as satisfactory in her own
home as she had expected him to be.
Yet at the end of a few months he beg
ged to return to his more exhausting
duties in a great caravansary.
II don't know az l can make it plain
to you, madam" he said to her ear
nestly. "but it's the tips that 1 look
forward to. Not that they are any
more, on the whole, than l get here.
but there's always an uncertainty
about it. l keep wondering if l am
to get a good deal or very little, and
it makes the day interesting. It's a
kind of an adventure, in a of
speaking, madam" - Louise Closer
Hale in Century.

was saying, "can you give me the full

bery?"
The eminent lawyers quiet eyes
were taking pleasurable note of the
Woman's beauty, the concise handling
OF he discussion in hand.
"As one of the attorneys for the
estate of James B. Whitby, l think I
am qualified to do So" he stated
gravely.
Then said Poppy Ordway, open

we'll. A bunch of lumberjacks from
Sacramento had come In during April,
and Sandry took them on. The Port
land Lumber company received the
second raft, a smaller one, by the
middle of May, and followed its re-
ceipt with another order that would
keep all hands and extra help at work
until August. The pressing mortgage
had been lifted by that first big check
and the young owner felt his spirit
surging within him like the growing
year. His only worry was the fact
that Hampden was building track and
o log-trail into the strip between camp
and the East Belt from the south.
He evidently meant to begin opera
lions under Sandry's very eyes.

At that moment Siletz came around

instantly ar expression of wistful sad.

June IS, 1899.
!, James B. Whitby, president of the
tandard Copper and Tin company, Con-
solidated, sit down to write wha l be-
ueve will be my last word on earth.
The telephone wires lave been cut, my
man is away for the night, and 1 am en-
hrely alone in the grip of one of my re-
current attacks of heart trouble, but my
brain is abnormally clear. 1 brought out
last evening from business $685. 600. for
reasons known to myself-all of it in bills
Of high denomination.
At one o'clock this night I looked I'D to
face a pistol held by a man, a young man
who was unmasked. You may as we'll
be patient" he said quietly, "for I intend
having a talk with you"
Then followed what suficed.to heat me
INTO the greatest rage of my life-an ac-

1rm, the statistical oldness of which

proofs, in his hands, which would states
prison me, and which proofs 1 positively
know do not exist.
The affair, I believe at this writing will
cost me my life, so vitality did 1t stir my
anger, and here and now before my
strength fails, let me commend him to
he fullest limit of the law for punish
he had fired his gun, to this I swear, and
his name is
There" finished the attorney, "the
letter ended, signed only by the hand
Of death, leaving the greatest mystery
Of the times. There was no trace of
the young man with the pistol.
There has been found no trace OF
The immense bundle of banknotes, as
there could be found no record of their
numbers nor any word of where Mr..
found nothing, as all the world knows.
The estate has employed the best de-
tective talent of the country to no
avail. There are no true clues, opin-
ions or theories. All are false when
applied"
With lightning rapidity Miss Ord
way had been following the attorneys
reading in shorthand in the red note
book.
"Ah!" she said with a breath of
satisfaction, that is excellent! Excel
Ient-and it closes the first matter of
which 1 spoke. Now for the second"
She smiled into MI. Farnsworth's
eyes in her own bewitching as
she told the small lie, for there were
no two matters upon which she had
