From the Philadelphia Record: Modern warfare has developed into a science that levies upon the services cf experts and experienced mechanics a3 largely as the pursuits of peace. It is an expensive operation, and very few among the millions who read the prow ess of the American navy have any conception of the enormous cost of each shot that is fired. Those whose knowledge of arms and ammunition is limited to the impressions received from the display of cannon and pyra mids of spherical cannon bails in parks, armories and national ceme teries cannot realize what great chang es have taken plsce within the past ten years. The Invention of the modern high power guns has brought into use pro jectiles that are the finest product of ingenuity and improved machinery, calling forth the best efforts of skilled artisans. Instead of cast Iron globes that could be turned out by any foun dry twenty years ago, use is now made of the grades of steel, tempered with as much care as a razor blade and ground and polished with as much ex actitude as a surgical instrument The complete story of the manufac ture of armor-piercing projectiles by the steel works in Reading is a secret so carefully guarded that it has always been hard to obtain, but at present, when the big plant is running on a war footing, it is still more difficult, as only employes and government in spectors are permitted to enter the company's immense machine shops. Shells four, five, six, eight, ten, twelve and thirteen Inches in diameter are being made for the navy, and eight, ten and twelve-inch sizes for the army. Contracts aggregating several millions of dollars are being filled there, and as the company operates the largest pro jectile plant in the world, there are few American vessels-that do not car ry these shells. Here is the history of the making of a ten-inch shell, and as the projectiles of all sizes are made in the same man ner. It gives some idea of the vast amount of labor required to equip a fleet. In the casting shop molten steel is cast into a solid piece twelve and a half inches in diameter. It is then taken to the forge-room, where, after being reheated, it is hammered down to ten and three-quarter Inches, and considerably elongated during the process. Next it is conveyed to the machine shop and placed upon a spe cially constructed lathe and turned and pointed. The only parts of the shell that bear against the rifled surface of the gun are the conical end and a cop per ring that encircles the base. This ring is soft, so as not to injure the rifling. After the finishing cut has been given to the projectile the diame ter of the largest part of the cone is ten and five one-hundredths Inches, and that of the body of the shell nine and ninety-one-hundredths inches. Then the "extracting ecore" Is cut. This is a V-Ehaped groove, in which a tool can.be fastened down when it la desired to withdraw the shell from the gun. The next move is the boring of a five-inch hole, in the base of the pro jectile o a depth of fourteen inches. Tempering follows. In this process the shell is suspended, point downward, in a receptacle filled with molten lead. and is allowed to settle until the metal' rises above the cone base. At first the temperature of the lead is but 500 degrees, but it is Increased gradually to 1,300 degrees. The wor'.c of heating continues for four hours, when the shell is withdrawn and sprayed with water to give it a hard exterior. Next follows a bath in a vat. filled with secret ingredients, after which the shell is cooled with a jet of water. Once more the shell goes back to the machine shop, where the hole in the base Is widened half an inch and tho depth increased two inches. The hole is then threaded and a screw plug in serted. The grinding-room is next. Here the extreme diameter of the ccne is ground down to ten inches exactly. The workmen now apply the "band score," which is a groove for the re ception of the soft copper band. After a soft steel cap has been fitte;! to the top of the projectile, on thn theory that when the shell strikes the armored side of a battle-ship the point will be protected without any inter ference with its penetrating power, the work is finished as far as the steel .company js concerned. It is then boxed up and shipped to some United States arsenal, where it is filled with an explosive compound and made ready for its-work of destruction. Kw Xaa-KUllae- Ballet. From the London Times: A new service bullet, just adopted by the war I office, will be used for the first time in the expedition .to Khartoum. Sev- i era! million' rounds are being sent out ! for the use of the infantry who are i going out to Egypt The reason as- j signed for the change- in the. service bullets is that the Lee-Metford. though it is more deadly at ten times the range of the old musket ball, -does not dis able an enemy as effectively as is -considered desirable. The case Is -elon gated and' so hard that soldiers have ' been known to go on fighting after half a, doaen Lee-Metford bullets have gone throngs them, while the bullet Itself has passed through two or three men ' consecutively, shock being sacrificed for penetration. The Dum Dun ballet,, now also superseded, caneinto use for the purpose ot stopping the rush ot the hordes xt fanatics, ai It had the ad vantage 'of spreading out and create ing up whenever it encountered re sistance, but there his recently bee& some discussion in France as to the propriety fcf remonstrating 'witji the British war office on the ground that it is contrary to the convention made with other European powers in 1868. The new service bullet is the same diameter (.303) the same length (an inch and one-firth), and the same weight (215 grains), as the Lee-Met-ford bullet, and fits all the service rifles and machine guns In use by tho British army The case" Is of nickel, the oase only being filled with lead. The conical, end is left empty and when It strikes the enemy burrs, opens back ward and lodges in the body, penetra tion being -lessened and the shock in creased. The new bullet Is spoken of ae "the man-killing bullet," In contradistinc tion to the man-penetrating bullet It is propelled with cofdite, and has as ranch energy as the old MartlnUHeflry bullet of 410 grains bed with the best gunpowder; while, cs it is half the weight, the soldier Is able to carry double the number of rounds of ball cartridges. The new bullet is being manufactured In the Royal laboratory, Woolwich arsenal, by men and boys working overtime, at the rate of 2.C00,- 000 rounds of ball cartridges per week, and if the test in the Khartoum expe dition proves satisfactory a permanent stock will be kept on hand nt the pow der magazines at Woolwich. A con tract for 10,000.000 roanus of the new ball cartridge has been entered intt with Messrs. Kyticch & Co., and oni with ttie Small Arms Ammunitiox Company, Birmingham, for a simils; number. Skill with a Broomstick. The following is the fifth article o reminiscences of a member ot the Har ris light cavalry of service during th civil war, says the Kingston (N. Y.J Leader. "Having been .put through a sever labor exercise pretty nearly every daj for at least a month and thoroughly initiated by a skilled swordsman intc the proper method of cutting of the head of an enemy with the right, left or front cut, and as to the most direct and expeditious way of causing day light to shine through him by poking a hole in him just below the ribs, I of course thought I was a superb swords man. I had some of the conceit taken out of me one day while in charge of a troop which bad been sent to Wash ington to have their horses shod at a government blacksmith's shop. Said an assistant blacksmith: 'My friend, that's a very pretty sword you have.' 1 showed it to him with great pride, and then sheathing it I strutted acros.? the shop, putting on as many airs as a strutting turkey gobbler. " 'When I was in the Mexican war,' replied the man wearing a black smith's apron, 'I occasionally handled a sword.' Our troopers laughed at this, because they did not suppose a man who was spending his time shoe ing horses had ever been trained as a swordsman. Somewhat nettled, he picked up a broom handle, made a few passes with it and then said to mc: 'Take out your sword and give me a rap over my shoulder.' I drew my sword and in the most approved style struck at him with the back of it. To my amazement and thorough disgust the sword was twisted from my hand and dropped with a clang on the floor of the shop. And the blacksmith did this every time that I struck or poked at him, and he did it so quickly that I could scarcely see the move ment of the stick. On our way back to camp the boys had a good laugh at my expense. 'Well, said one of them, 'when I get into a fight I am going to take my sword in both hands and rap the first man I meet, and I'll defy any of those confederates tc loosen my grip.' " Itrltlsh Itecraltlng Methods. From the New York Times: The methods of enlisting recruits for the army in Great Britain differ greatly from those employed in the United States. It is mainly in the country districts where the youths are dazzled with the gorgeous trappings of the soldiers that the government relies for its raw material to replenish and strengthen the army. Detachments of different branches of the regular serv ice are detailed to the principal towns of each count, a band is furnished each recruiting Etation and It is the music that first attracts the peasants. Fairs and markets are held in all small towns and on such occasions the full detachment from the nearest sta tion, in charge of a sergeant, is always present. It is during the afternoons, after the farmers have disposed of their produce and their young assist ants have Imbibed the usual quantities cf malt, that the strains of "Garry Owen" cr some other enlivening airs are heard on the street. Probably fifty redcoats, neat, chipper and warlike, fol low the band. The sergeant, pompous and grand, brings up the rear. To a half-tipsy lad there is nothing more charming than the sight of the war like redcoats. He follows with the crowd into tho recruit in;: quarters and ac:ually before ha realizes what he ha3 done is a member of her majesty's ervice. The acceptance of a shilling from the sergeant binds the contract, which nothing save desertion can af terward break. The Irish patriots have always tried to prevent young men from joining the British army, but their efforts have been rendered almost fruitless by the music and trappings of the recruiting detachments. DEWEYCRAPHS. Admiral Dewey has won new laurels. His capture of Manila is likely to make him commander-in-chief of the whole American fleet. Boston Journal. Admiral Dewey opened the war and ended it with equal ability. His dash and his patient thoroughness are alike to be admired. SL Louis Globe-Democrat. Admiral Dewey made the entrance of the war and he makes its exit as well. From 'first to last he has held the center of the stage. Philadelphia Press. Messrs. Dewey and Merrftt have Is sued, a protocol of their own whose terms will not need construction with the aid of a dictionary and a grammar. Louisville Courier Journal. Merrltt with the army and Dewey with the navy have arain added to the laurels of the United States In the war with Spain. The surrender 'of Manila was a fit closing to a war that has proved to the world the prowess of American sailors and American sol diers, volunteers and regulars. IUino's State Register.

A bulletin ot the Indiana experliieht station says: For the past two weeks' notices have been received by the sts tlon relative to outbreaks of sore eyes Among; cattle-. These reports indicate hat the disease is new to many local; ities and of unusual severity in. places .where it hsa occurred before. The fosses are always stated to be large and the cattle go blind .and. are unable to .craze and keep out ot trouble. The per, jcent affected ranges from ten to fit- 'per cent of the herd.' Contagious sore eyes makes its appearance by a swell ing of one or both eyes, a partial or complete closing of 'the lids and a pro fuse flow of tears. The eye-ball be comes inflamed, "blood-shot," and in a few days the central part ot the eye over, the pupil will bulge out. The bulging portion wiil be from the size of a pea to that ot a grain of corn. Underneath the surface there will be a yellowish white color, due to pus. In some cases the bulged portion breaks across. The disease IB quite painful. The principal changes take place within a week, but it requires about six weeks to run the full coursei The result is that a few are blind in both eyes, many are blind in one eye, and some escape blindness, but the Eight, cs a lule, is impaired. It inter feres greatly with grazing during the time of the disease, and may penna nently. Treatment: The disease Is conta gious; and therefore a separation of the diseased from the healthy should be made cs soon as the first symptoms apt-fear. Whenever practical keep the cat; tie up in the stable during the day and let them out at night. This can be done as a rule with cows. The local treat ment cf the eyes is to apply a ono per cent solution of atropine .twice a day, and apply calomel dust once a day. The calomel can usually be applied by us ing one of the small insect dusting boxes. A wash of a saturated solution ; of boracic acid has been found to be of some service. The attendant should j be sure to wash his hands with carbol ' ic acid solution, or some other disintec i tnnt after giving the treatment, as ; mere js a possiDiiuy oi tuuvejiua iuu disease from cattle to people. A. W. Bitting. Veterinarian. Disinfecting Pens at Fairs. Indiana Experiment Station: As , the fair season is opening it is im portant to observe all the measures that can be taken to prevent the spread of disease among stock. People do not , exhibit infested stock purposely, but unknowingly, and at times cause 88 rious loss. At the last session of the State Legislature a law was passed re- ' quiring the disinfection of swine pens, the disinfection of exhibit crates and swine before unloading and a state ment that no cholera had been upon the premises within two months prior to exhibiting. The law is defective In some respects, but has a very beneficial 1 effect, and has met with little opposi tion. Last fall fifty-seven fairs were held in the state at which hogs were exhibited, and all but five disinfected their pens. In 1S96 losses aggregating more than 58,000 were directly trace able to contagion on fair grounds. Last year only two reports were made of contagion and the loss was small. In diana breeders exhibiting in adjoin ing states where such precautions were not taken brought back disease and suffered considerable loss. The disinfecting of fair grounds should be done a week or more in advance. Re move all litter, allow the sun to do as much as possible and give everything a coat of white-wash, or apply a solu tion of chloride of lime, four ounces to. the gallon of water. The state law specifies that a ten per cent solution of carbolic acid should be used. Use the acii! as a spray twice a day during the exhibition. A spray pump Is the eas iest means for applying a disinfectant. A. W. Bitting, Veterinarian. Lamb Crop Short. It is set forth in a bulletin on the sheep industry of the country, recent ly issued by the National Live Stock association, that while the industry, as a whole, was never in a more pros perous condition, the lamb crop does net Ehow as large a percentage as usual, due mainly to the universal cold rains during the lambing season. All sections report forage to be the finest in ten years, and the lambs arc larger and fatter than usual at this time of the year (the only exception being in one or two limited sections along the Pacific coast, where drouth has prevailed. According to informa tion received direct from owners, it appears that less she?p will be market ed this year than last. The high price of western wool, 14 to 18 cents per pound, and the fancy prices paid for western alfalfa-fed iambs on the east ern markets, make it much more profitable for breeders to grow wool and lambs than mutton. It is too early yet to correctly estimate the wool crop, but it is believed that an in ciea?e of 10 per cent is a conservative figure. Coming Season's Orange Crop. Tha prospects of the coming orange crop and the disposition to buy supplies to the best advantage i3 seen by the fact that the Southern California Fruit Ex change advertised in Los Angeles on Monday for bids for furnishing l,50u. 000 boxes to be used in the packing ot the coming season's orange crop. The figures, which show that an enormous increase In the production in southern California is anticipated, will give a basis for estimates of the increased shipments over previous years which may be looked for. Not only are the conditions for a full yield favorable, but there is a great increase in the acreage of trees now coming into fulJ bearing. Pacific Rural Press. Temperature of Water and Evapora tion. The temperature of the water af fects the evaporation much more than is usually realized. A shallow' lake evaporates faster than a deep one be- cause its temperature is higher. Like wise the evaporation from the shallow parts of a lake is greater than from the deep portions. From lakes during the summer months the evaporation has been found to be as much as twice that from the tanks, an increase of temperature of ten degrees, or enough to change the temperature from 70 to 80 degrees, may be sufficient to double the amount. Evaporation proceeds from ice. but at a diminished rate. Varied Rations. With an abundance of good, well kept pastures, plenty of clover hay, corn, oats and - peas, the Jersey dairy farmer is approximately independent of the markets for dairy foods. If prices are satisfactory. It will be wise economy to increase the varie ty in his rations by the addition of bran, cotton-seed meal, linseed meal and gluten feed or meal. But- the prices must be right or they may cost more than they come to. N. B. Fran lin. If you want money bad, invest in green goods. - THE RUSH FOR GOLD.
