E73EE3 IKlWiyilMg uu A NOVEL GUN. Stamped the Gun-Testlnc Au thorities at West Point. Lying snngly housed near a point on Sandy Hook is a great gun, nearly thirty feet long. It has been there for some time and is an object of curiosity to all who visit the neigh borhood. This gun was designed in pai- by Mr. Georeo Edgar, and is his property. Ma'ny thousands of dollars have been spent upon its construction and exhibition, but though a military committee re ported favorably upon it, no steps were taken by the government to wards purchasing the patents taken out by its constructors. The claims made for the gun refer exclusively to the breach, which is said to possess do little novelty and merit. Not long ago Mr. Edgar visited Washington on business connected With this gun. He was acrompa nicd by an American mechanician and designer of guns, now employed t by the Russian Government to con f duct their great gun works on tho 1 Neva. After a somewhat unsatis I factory visit to the war department, I the two were sitting in the cafe of the Ebbit House, discussing the chances of the adoption of the principle of the gun by "the military authorities. "They tell me," said Mr. Edgar, "that what they want is a gun that won't explode; when they uetsuch a one, they say they expect to have no trouble iri finding an easy work ing and efficient breech mechanism." "Yes," replied his companion, "that is what they are looking for all over the world. " The two men sat silent for some lime. Finally, Mr. Edgar, in crossing his legs, kicked off the cover from an India rubber cuspidor. Like most of these contrivances, this cover was made of hard rubber with beveled edges, the sides as they sloped toward the hole in the center having a fall or decline of about thiity deirreca from a plane. Mr. Edgar observed this cover in tently as it ro led and girated about the marble floor. Before it cme to a dead stop ho seized it with something like pre cipitation, and with sparkling eyes exclaimed to his companion, "I've got itl" Got what?" asked tho latter languidly. "I've got the principle on which the non-bursting gun can be con structed." "Buhl" Not heeding this expression of in credulity on the part of his friend, a man, too, of great skill in me'al working, Mr. Edgar jrave Mich forci ble reasons for believing a non bursting gun could be constructed of a series of plates similar in form to the top of a rubber cuspidor, tha' lie was compelled to admit that there was something in the idea. Returning to New York City, Mr. Edgar at once set to work to make a gun on the plan sugge-rted by the incident in the Ebbit House cafe. This experimental gun is four feet long, and composed throughout its whole extent of corrugated plates of Russian iron. At its completion, he took it upto West Point, which, he had been told in Washington, was one of the government testing points for guns. On his arrival at the works, and mentioning the fact that lie had a new gun with him, he was told that the number of new guns constantly appearing was legion. "The trouble with all of them," said tho officer, "is that tney burst too readily. What kind of a test do you want us to put your gun to?" headded. "Why," replied Mr. Edgar, "I would like to have you burst it." "Certainly," said the officer, with something like sarcasm iu his voice. "We're always glad to accommodato gentlemen with new guns." The gun was now taken behind a hill, a double charge of powder in troduced, and fired with a time fuse. It turned two or three back somer saults, but remained intact. It was now loaded with a quadruple charge, and fired, the only effect being to multiply the number of the back somersaults. "This is very good indeed," said the officer. "I'm sorry to keep you waiting so long. I'll now load it up to the muzzle, and that will be the last of it." Fired under these conditions, it rose in the air, whirled around a few moments, and then came down and buried itelf in the earth. After being dug up it was charged nearly up to the muzzle with powder and wad, and then spiked. The only result was that it rose higher in tho air than before, spun around moro rapidly, and buried itself still deeper in the ground when it came down. It had not even been chipped ! "Is there anything else you'd like to put into it?" demanded Mr. Edgar, it now being his turn to be ironical. "No!" was the reply; "it beats me." Having thus s'tumped the gun-testing authorities, Mr. Ed 'ar brought his little gun bark to New York in triumph. Scientific Amori- can. j Another Subscriber Paya Up. Once in a great while something ! nnmps siealinrr across the virion lilrn a passin2 angel, having with it the I odor of strange flowers, plucked by unseen nanus, in unsnown countries far beyond the earthly seas. We do not understand it, cannot fathom it, yet we know that it must be a thing of oy and Tribune. beauty. Minneapolis The Broncho. A broncho is a horse, says the editor of the Santa Fe Democrat. He has four legs, like the saw-horse, but is decidedly more skittish. The broncho is of gentle deportment and modest mien, but there isn't a real safe place about him. There is noth ing mean about the broncho, though ; he is perfectly reasonable and acts on principle. All he asks is to be let alone, but he does ask this, and even insists on it. He is firm in this mat ter, and no kind of argument can shake his determination. There is a broncho that lives some miles from Santa Fe. We know him right well. One day a man roped him and tried to put a saddle on him. The broncho looked sadly at him, shook his head and begged the fel low as plain as could be to go away and not try to interfere with a bron cho who was simply engjged in the pursuit of his own happiness; but the man came on with the saddle and continued to aggress. Then the broncho reached out with his right hand fout and expostulated with him so that he died. When thor oughly aroused the broncho is fatal, and if you can get clo-e enough to examine his cranial structure vou will find a cavity just above the eye, where the bump of remorse should be. The broncho is what the cowboys call "high strung." If you want to know just how high he is strung, climb up on to his appx. We rode a broncho once. We didn't travel far, but the ride was mighty exhilarating whilo it lasted. Wo" got on with great pomp and a derrick, but we didn't put on any unnecessary style when we went to get off. The beast evinced considerable surprise when we took up our location upon his dorsal fin. Ho seemed to think a moment and then he. gathered up his loins and delivered a volley of heels and hardware, straight "out from the shoulder. The recoil wa fearful. We saw that our seat was going to be contested, and we be gan to make a motion to dismount, but the beast had got under way by this time, so we breathed a silent hymn and tightened our grip. He now went off into a spasm of tall, stiff-legged bucks. He pitched us so high that every time we started down we would meet him coming up on another trip. Finally he gave us one grand farewell boost, and we clovo the firmament and split up through the hushed ethereal until our toes ached from the lowness ol temperature, and we could distinctly hear the music of the spheres. Then we came down and fell in a little heap, about 100 yards from the starting point. A kind Samaritan gathered up our remains in a cigai box and carried us to a hospital. As the' looked pityingly at U3 the at tending surgeons marveled as to the nature of our mishap. One said it was a cyclone, another said it was a railroad smash-up; but we thought of the calico hided pony that was grazing peacefully in the dewy mead and held our peace. Humility. Humility has this conselation: It finds that the greatest minds have had the least conceit; that Shakes peare bent down from the imperial height of his intellect to be taught by a clown, to be informed by a milkmaid; that Socrates, in his cel ebrated voyage in search of knowl edge, with his perpetual question concerning the cause of things. found that knowledge in a woik man's siiop which he could not find amongst the schools of the pro fessors or philosophers; that Newton compared himself to a child who, playing on the seashore, had picked up a shell here and a stone there, and knew no more of them. The bullet of steel is worn smooth and polished when it has passed through the gizzard of an ostrich. The most conceited young prig who ever lived will find his level when brought to the rude experience of the whole world. Exchange. Attention Kui roadDIun!
