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-

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.
