Thu larger a canuou tbo more exten
sive are I ho injuries it receives with
each Mieeessivo discharge. All damage
done to a gun is internal. Tbo separate
action of tbo powder and tbo projectile
damages the piece every time it is aimed
and fired. Obviously tbo amount of the
damage depends upon the material and
workmanship of the gnu. Men who
iiiulto big gnus describe the barm done
their pet witb many intricate and puz-
/.ling terms of a scientific turn. Iu oue
case a gun is damaged because the part |
of the bore which contains tbo powder
is enlarged. This happens when the
metal is compressed , aud it isuioredau-
gerons aud more plainly seen if the
gnuners have been using wads between
their erplosivo and their projectile.
Then , again , cavities are produced by
the melting away of a part of the metal ,
by the heat of combustion of the charge. I
Oracles come from the teariug asunder i
of the particles of the metal at the surface - '
face of the bore , When it is first made ,
u crack of this particular kind is barely
perceptible , but it increases each tin.o
tbo guu is fired. Gradually it extends
completely through the .side of the
piece. The crack usually bt.ius at the !
junction of the chamber with the bore ,
simply because , as guns mnv are , this
part is not eo well supported as the
others.
Edward S. Farrow , U. S. A. , is au
thority on dttiuugu to gnu-- , although ,
like all others who have studied the \
question , he does not agree with very i
many authorities on all tbo points to ,
consider in the liio of a cannon. He con- j
tends that furrowing or scoring produced ,
by the erosive action of inflamed ga.sc.s
is the great disease which attacks tbu '
very big guns first. This particular injury - '
jury in most apparent where the current
of the gas is most rapid or at the inte
rior orifice of the vent and on the snr- j
face of tbo bore , directly over the .seat ;
of the projectile. This scoring begins i
early in tbo life of
very a very large j
gun , but it is conceded that it docs not I
become very important until the pict-o j
has been discharged considerably. Lieutenant -
tenant Farrow describes this scoring as
j
resembling the bark of au aged elm tree , j
tbo metal being eaten away into irregular - i
lar furrows aud ridges. In extreme j
case. , however , scoring has not killed I
the gnu , although in some cases it has i
acted like a wedge and split the bore at j
the place attacked. >
Where the action of the projectile has |
ruined the gun the damage has been
done around the projectile and in frout
of it. The elasticity of the metal and i
the crowding up of portions of it in !
front of the shot cause a rebounding
process. The projectile , carried forward
by the force of the charge , strikes
against the upper part of the bore ; then
it is sent against the bottom and again
bounds to the top , aud so ou uutil it j
emerges from the piece. The effect of
this bounding motion is to raise and de
press the gnu in its trunnion holes. The
accuracy of fire is diminished , and , of
course , the gun is unfit for service.
Bronze guns are the worst sufferers iu
this way. Mortars short and dumpy
are not affected.
To stop the bounding of tbo projectile
gunners wrap tbo shell in cloth or pa
per or else shift the base of the mass
to bo hurled. This last process is con
sidered the best and is done by reduc
ing the diameter of tbo cartridge aud
adding to its length. Projectile injury
is also caused by furrows or scratches
naado by rough shells or case shot.
Small fragments , too , break away very
often from the shells and give the bore
a grindiug aud cutting process , produc
tive of great damage.
Enlargement of the muzzle is another
serious injury produced by the projec
tile. This is caused by a process which
seems unavoidable. As the shell leaves
the piece it strikes against one portion
of the bore. The resistance at the mouth
being less than at auy other point , the
metal naturally yields , aud the muzzle
of the cannon is elougated in a vertical
direction.
Some men who ought to know eay
that 150 shots is the life of a very big
gun a 12 or 13 inch weapou. Others
place the number of shots at 400 or 500.
As a matter of fact , it is all guesswork.
The great Krupp gnu shown at the
World's fair and conceded to bo perfect
or supposed to bo so has been dis
charged less than ten times , and it is
now believed to have reached its limit.
On the other hand , the big guns of tbo
American battleships have passed the
time allotted them by wise men who
know gnus and apparently are as good
as when tested. How soon they may
yield , however , is not in the books.
Lieutenant Farrow says that n very
large gun should not be expected to
stand more than 400 or 500 shots before
it will be necessary to open a new vent ,
closing the old one at its interior orifice.
When the gun dies bursts the liues
of fracture are photographed. Speci
mens of the metal are saved. Tests are
made and couclusious drawn. And D n-
clo Sam has figured out so mauy things
iu this same connection that his guns
nowadays are conceded to be better than
those of any other maker. They live
longer than the wise ones say they
should. Chicago Times-Herald.

A BrRitllnn Indian Story.
Hero is a Brazilian Indian story , cays
the New York Times. The jaguar and
the monkey mot. The jaguar had a lus
cious bunch cf plantains which the
mqnkey craved. "I will gladly give you
the plantains , " said tbo jaguar , "pro
viding you catch a fawn for me. "
"Agreed , " cried the monkey. "But , "
added the jaguar , "if you don't get the
fawn you must prouiiso to lot mo bite a
mouthful out of yon. " "Agreed , " once
more cried the gleeful monkey. Tbo
monkey ate the plantains , and tbo little
matter abcat tbo fawn quite dipped his
memory.
Then one day the jaguar met tbo
monkey and insisted ou taking his pay
out of the monkey's hide. The business ,
becoming serious , was left to the pec-
cari to decide. "It seems all right
enough1 said the peccari , "only this :
How am I to determine what is the ex
act size of a jaguar's mouthful and also
where is ho to bite ? He bad better refer
the matter to the big snake. " The bitj
snake took the subject under considera
tion. His judg idit was that he would
have to swallow the jaguar , the monkey
and the peccari The jaguar and pecu-ri
ho did at ouco assinilato , but the mon
key , being ui.iible , escaped.

"When Hooked into the dining roor/i

said the ratired burglar , "I siw n man

sober , but I thought I'd have to give
him a chance to get tired of sitting
there and go to bed before I began , for
if I didn't ho might wake up any min
ute and interrupt things. So I took a
seat in a big leather chair in the library ,

up. When I'd waited what I thought
was a reasonable time without hearing
from him , I looked in again , aud there
ho was , still sitting there , just the Fame.
"But this time , oven iu that light ,
there was something peculiar about him ,
and I ventured to turn my own light on
him now , and then I saw that it wasn't
a man at all , but a suit of clothes , with
a hat ou top , set up there to dry after
beiug wet in the rain. The man that
had worn them had been abed and asleep

Clothespins are an American com
modity. Some clothespins are made in
Sweden and in Scotland , but they are
big and clumsy , twice the size of the |
American pins and whittled out by j
hand. Clothespins are made chiefly of
beech and of maple , but some are made
of tupelo wood. They are made entirely
by machinery , counted into boxes con
taining 720 each by machinery , aud tbo
boxes are nailed up by machinery. It
might almost be said that blocks of
wood fed to machines at one end come
oufc boxed clothespins at the other. They
are made and sold wonderfully cheap.
There are two grades of clothespins ,
firsts and seconds. First grade pins can
bo bought for 35 cents a box. The pro I
ductiou of clothespius is enormous , millions - !
lions of boxes annually. The consump- j
tion in this country keeps pace with the
growth of the population , aud great
numbers are exported. Even people in
the trade wonder what becomes of all
the clothespins.

The autobiography of the late flev
Charles H. Spnrgeon contains an ac
count of what may be termed au early
business venture and its influence on
his character.
Spurgeon was brought up on Wtts
hynms , but not altogether willingly.
His grandmother coaxed him with
money to learn them. At first she gave
him a penny , but when she saw how
easily it was earned the old lady re
duced the prize to a halfpenny and tiien
to a farthing. There is no telling bow
low the amount per hymn might have
fallen , but just at this time his grand
father made a discovery which seemed
more desirable to Spnrgcoii.
He discovered that his bouse was
overrun with rats and offered bis
grandson a shilling a dozen for all bo
could kill.
The occupation of rat killing gave
him more money than learning hymns
"But , " Mr. Spurgeou characteristically
says , "I know which employment has
been the more permanently profitable

One of the best evidences of the value
of lightning i.ieltt up to date has been
afforded by the Washington monument.
It ifi capped L-y n flruall four sided pyra
mid of aluminium , which metal , so
chpap today , WRH very costly at the
time of the building of tbo greatest
obelisk that the world has over known ,
ibis aluminium tip is connected with
the ground by lour ! copper rods which
go down deep into the earth. On April
5 , 1885 , five immense bolts of electrici
ty were seen to flash between the monument
ment and a thundercloud overhanging
in the course oi 20 minutes. In other
words , the monument was struck fieice-
Jy five times , but it suffered uo damag'i
whatever.
On June 15 of the same year a more
tremendous assault was ir do upon the
monument from the heavens , and the
result was a fracture of one of the top
most stones. The crack still remains to
show what nature can do in the way of
an electrical shock , but the slightncss
of the damage is evidence of man's
power to protect himself from such at
tacks. The obelisk is ideally located for
attracting electrical assaults from the
skies , and yet , while many times hit , it
has suffered only onco. and that time tea
a trifling extent. Boston Transcript.
The Hour of LJiicolti'n Sliootitip ; .
A highly interesting story is told to
account for the fact that almost every
wooden clock in America has its hands
painted to indicate the hour of 18 min
utes past 8. It is related that most euch
watchmakers' signs were originally
made by one man , who was at first in
the habit of painting the hands to indi
cate any old or young hour that struck
bis fancy when he came to that part cf
the job. But vUicn President Lincoln
was assassinated he conceived tbo idea
of commemorating tbo event by record
ing the hour and minute thereof upon
all his wooden timepieces , a custom
ever since perpetuated. There is some
thing striking and dramatic about tbib
notion of t.mo standing still forever
after an event of such tragic signifi
cance. There is no doubt about the fact
tlftit nearly all the wooden clocks do in
dicate tbo hour of 18 minutes past 8.
You can see that for yourself. But if the
clockmaker thought ho was thereby re
cording the hour of the assassination
bis intelligence was as wooden as his
! wares , for President Lincoln was hbot
not at 18 minutes past 8 , but at about
15 minutes past 10. New York Post.
