The extonalvo plant established by
the United States government at the
Washington navy yard Is ono of the
attractions for visitors to tho capital
city. Sevoral Immense buildings are
required for the accommodation of the
machinery and workmen employed,
and the ontlro work Is carried on
undor the supervision of naval officers.
Tho principal structuro of the group
of buildings la approximately 900 foot
long and 100 feet wldo, and 1b dovotcd
to tho boring, rifling and Jacketing of
the guns, or tho comploto construction
of tho guns proper as distinguished
from the carrlago and other accessor
ies. Tho well-known Morgan traveling
cranes and hoisting" apparatus are
employed for suspending and moving
tho heavy ordnanco, and In applying
tho Jacket thereto, nnd this machin
ery Is all of tho largest and most sub
stantial typo.
Trackways and beams of great bIzo
and strength extond along tho sldos
and across tho upper portion of tho
building to support tho traveling
hoists, and tho suspending chains,
mado up of onormoiiB links freely
travel longitudinally and across tho
building, nnd upon each of tho mov
nblo beams Is a houso or cab contain
ing tho propelling mochnnism nnd tho
operator.
Glgnutlc lathes are used for support
ing tho bonvy gunn nnd operating the
drills and othor required tools, nnd the
most expert workmen aro employed In
this Important work.
Tho "Jacketing" of tho gun In a deli
cate operation, requiring tho highest
ordor of mechanical skill. Tho slight
est flaw or inequality In tho surfneo of
tho gun Is quickly detected, and fre-
quently more than a slnglo trial Is
nocessary before tho Jacket is success
fully placed In position. Tho visitor
observing tho "Jacketing" process
will, bo Impressed with tho quiet dis
cipline of tho workmen engaged. Tho
master workman directs hla subordi
nates, and especially those In charge of
tho hoisting apparatus, almost entire
ly by signals with tho head and hands,
and" tho noisy shouting of ordors Is
not resorted to. In fact, tho discipline
of the great establishment Is nlto
strict and along naval lines.
Numerous notices aro conspicuously
posted to the effect that workmen nro
not allowed to talk to visitors.
I Necessarily the quality of tho motnl
employed In tho manufacture of tho
huge guns, constituting tho armament
of our great warships, Is a matter of
first Importance and tho materials aro
subjocted to tho highest tests known
to science. Ab a roault of tho great
caro required in this respect, as well
as in the subsequent steps Involved in
the dovolopment of tho finished pro
duct, tho cost of producing theso guns
Is very great.
Another largo building Is devoted to
tho building of gun carriages, especi
ally designed to support tho largo guns
and a largo forco of machinists is em
ployed to operato tho great variety of
machinery employed in this branch of
the work.
Many curious and specially designed
machines are seen In operation hero
for Bcraplng, shaving, drilling and re
cessing the hard gun metal, and most
of them are entirely automatic, requir
ing only the attention of a skilled
workman to adjust tho work and keep
tho machinery In perfect working
order.
In still nnother soparato building
tho work of forming and drawing cart
ridge cases is carried on, and this 1b
by no means the least Interesting de
partment of the plant to the ordinary
visitor. The rapid transformation of
a bulky, cumborsome looking blank
into a thin, shapely cylinder is an
operation which attracts the oyo and
excites the Interest of the unskilled
lookeron.

Tho array of boxes or crates of com
pleted cartridge cases ranged along
ono end of tho building would Indicate
that Uncle Sam Is a Arm bellevor in
tho soundness of tho Injunction, 'Til
tlmo of peaco prepare for war." The
formldablo looking rows of cartridge
cases, howover, are harmless, as they
havo yet to bo charged with the projec
tiles and high explosives.
As abovo stated, all of tbe work con
nected with tho gun plant Is In chnrgo
of naval officers who are specialists
In tho construction of ordnance, and
here and thcro about tho great work
shops Is seen ono of these officers ar
rayed at this season In his summer
uniform of white duck, with a cap of
tho samo color, tho spotlessncss of tho
garb contrasting conspicuously with
tho rather grimy surroundings and the
gronsy overalls of the hand workers.
Tho gun shops necessitated the es
tablishment within the yard of a rail
way Bystcm on a small scale, nnd tho
tooting of locomotives and tho shifting
of loaded flnt cars glvo ovldonco of In
dustry and labor.
Tho manufacture, or naval guns and
ammunition has greatly Increased tho
numbor of tho government's employes,
and constltuto nnothcr step In tho

CONCEITED TITLES.
MANX OF THOSE CLAIMED ARE NOT
TRUTHFUL.
The Assurance of Some Ran tern Raton
Make Fabulous Heading Tremendous
Claims of Earthly Importance Made
In the Titles of Sovereigns.
Even when King Edward has had
his tltlo so tinkered that it will in
clude the sonorous phrase, "King of all
the British dominions beyond tho
seas," ho still will not be aa well off
In high-sounding titles as many other
sovereigns, 'the Sultan of Turkey af
fects the "stylo and tltlo" of "Com
mander of the Faithful,", and tho Em
peror of Morocco 1b "Prlnco of True
Bollovers," while tho Shah of Persia
nnd tho Emperor of Abyssinia both
call themselves "King of Kings." But
these aro modest when compared to
tho Emperor'of China, wno styles hlm
so.f "Son of Heaven." Tho Emperor
of Japan has n most curious tltlo, be
ing styled tho Mikado, or "Honorablo
Gate." Thebaw of Burmah, tho wicked
old fellow who was overthrown by
the British, used modestly to call him
self "His Most GlorloiiB, Excellent
Majesty; Lord of tho Ishaddan; King
of Elephants; Master of Many Whlto
Elephants; Lord of tho Mines of Gold,
Silver, Rubles, Amber and tho Noble
Serpcntlno; Sovereign of tho Empire
of Thunaparantha and Tampadlpa and
other Great Empires and Countries,
and of tho Umbrella Wearing Chiefs;
Arbiter of Life, tho Great Righteous
ness, the Sun-De3ccnded Monarch,
King of Kings, nnd Possessor of
Boundlcs3 Dominions and Supremo
Wisdom." For obvious reasons tho
modest Thebaw had no visiting cards.
The Amir of Afghanistan calls hlmsolf
"Tho Light of Union and Religion."
Tho Emperor of Austria Is "His Apos
tolic Majesty"; tho King of Spain,
"His Most Catholic Majesty," and the
Bourbon kings of Franco wero "Most
Christian Majesties" at least in title,
thtough they wero sometimes qulto the
other way in reality. But King Ed
wnnl need not take a back scat when
It comes to religious titles, for is not
that pious man "Defender of the
Faith"? Tho King of Portugal Is also
possessed of a religious titlo, being
"His Very Faithful Majesty." King
Oscar of Sweden calls hlmsolf "King
of tho Goths and tho Wends," and the
German "War Lord" calls hlmsolf
"Duko of, tho Wends." Tho King of
Denmark, liko his royal cousin of Swe
den, calls himself "King of the Goths
and the Wends." This la very confus
ing to nn amateur in the king business
and their majesties of Denmark and
Sweden ought to toss up to see who
keeps the title. It must make the Sul
tan of Turkey smllo to seo how many
monarchs, reigning and dethroned, call
themselves "King of Jerusalom." This
tltlo 1b borne by the King of Spain nnd
the Emperor of Austria, by the Bour
bon claimant of the throne of "Naples
and the two Sicilies," ns well as by
Don Carlos, the claimant of the Span
ish throne. Tho Sultan calls himself
"Servant of Jerusalem," which Is moro
modest, and as ho has tho city the
other follows can qunrrcl over who is
"king" thereof. Tho King of Portugal
has a set of titles for "private circula
tion," as It were, In which ho espe
cially delights, calling himself, when
ho feels particularly "cocky," "King
of the African Sea, Lord of Guinea and
of tho navigation and commerce of
Ethopla. Arabia, Persia and India."
Littlo King Alphonso of Spain, not to
be outdone by his neighbor, calls hlm
solf "King of tho East and West In
dies, of India nnd tho Ocean Conti
nents." Tho President of tho United
States came very near having a title.
When they were fixing up tho Consti
tution it was proposed to Insert the
clause, "The President shall bo called
His Excellency." Benjamin Franklin
offered an amendment, which read,
"And tho Vlco President Bhnll bo called
His Most Superfluous Highness." In
tho latter which followed the title
clause was lost.
I'Ir In Trees Ilruuchcs.
In many of tho westorn and midland
counties of England tho nineteenth
century closed with the most terrible
floods within living memory. Happily
fow lives wero lost, but hundreds of
folk mostly poor were washed out of
hearth and home. Farmers, small and
great, lost cuttle, sheep and poultry,
nnd immense damage was dono to all
kinds of property. Ono comic incident
wan remarked at Alcester, In Worces
tershire. When tho water fell tho rec
tor took his walks abroad to seo what
loss ho had suffered. As ho passed
through an orchard ho was greeted
with tho piercing squeals of a por
plexod pig, which had got .mixed up
in the boughs of a damson tree. Prob
ably it had been borne Into the
branches by tho rising flood. When
tho waters went down It was left high,

OUR INCREASING OIL TRADE.
American Petroleum HutHr Than Itus
Inn Winning; Out In Japan. r
Petroleum oil, with shipments of
moro than 170,000,000 worth In tho year
ending July 1, ranks after coreals, cot
ton, provisions, steel and Iron as nn
Item of Americnn export to foreign
countries. Of tho ?70,000,000 worth of ,'
American petroleum shipped last year
exports amounting to ?5,000,000 wero
sent to Japan, a larger amount than
was shipped to any country except
England, Germany and Belgium. Rus
sia was our chief competitor, but
American petroleum is of better qual
ity than the Russian, 100 gallons of
crudo Russian oil averaging 38 gallons1
of refined oil, whereas 100 gallons of
American petroleum produce 75, nearly
twico as much, and the competition be
tween the United States and Russia In
petroleum In tho Japaneso market haa
so far boon favorablo to American
shippers. American petroleum brings l
higher prices in Japan than does Rus
sian and nccordtng to a recent report of
the American Consul at Relchenbcrg,
the prlco of Russian petroleum is de
clining. With the growth of tho for
eign market for petroleum, there is a
largo increase, for now commercial
uses, of tho expanding supply. So, as
the output of American petroleum in
creases by tho discovery of new wells,
tho demand for Its use seems to In
