Every year the machinery in the iron mills of Pittsburg, Pa., is be ing made more ponderous. The necessity for this lies in the de mand for immense castings. Every thing 'is growing larger than in former times. Ships are bigger, locomotires are more powerful, iron front buildings are higher, and agricultural implements are vastly larger. The development of mill apparatus to meet this increase has been gradual, but within the last two years a wonderful im petus has been given to the for ward movement by the building of the new war vessels for the United States navy. Andrew Carnegie has just com pleted the building oi a mill at Braddock, one of the suburbs of Pittsburg, expressly intended for the manufacture of this govern ment work. There is not a single I bit of apparatus in it but what is the largest of its kind in the world. The shears, which snap a bar of iron in two as though it were tissue puper, exceed any thing in size that has ever been known by the sons of Vulcan. The lathes are greater, the rolls aro longer and heavier than anything the balance of the country can' show, and even the steam boilers aro the largest ever made by the hand of man. In the Black Dia mond stegl works, Thirteenth street, Pittsburg, there is the largest steam hammer in the United States. The blow of fifty tons which it strikes every second of time that it is in operation shakes the earth for two squares around the mill. Yet it is so easily controlled, and so nicely adjusted that the hammerman has placed ou the anvil block beneath it a delicate wine glass containing an egg, and turning on the steam full force would let the ponderous weight above fall until at a cer tain distance,, and. then .shut, the steam off. In this way the ham mer has ben kept forjuvtral min utes gently tapping the glass and egg without breaking them. .But now the government itself is going to throw nil these marvel ous achievements in the hack' ground by the improvement, at the navy yard in Washington Cit. They will transform that quiet place into the most powerful workshop in" the universe. For instance, there was not found in the mills and foundries of the whole .United "States "traveling cranes?' big.enough to move about the immense castings and wrought iron parts of large cannon which the war and navy departments nave projected. JLnese cranes are very familiar objects in. the vards and iron mills .everywhere. They are simply a block .and tackle ar rangement so fixed upon a steam car that they will pick up"a heavy piece of metal and rucli off speedi ly to any .part of the building with it. The largest of these "travel ers" in Pittsburg will carry a bur den of thirty tons with safety to the ropes "and. rigging. -In the Midville. Steel Works, Pennsylva nia, a traveling craneof twenty-six tops capacity has been erected to facilitate the handling of the cast- ines for the new warships. These are now the two largest apparatus of tbe kind in. the country. But work will soon be commenced on a iray pling crane t for . the . Wash ington navy yar3 wmoh will have, a carrying capacity of 110 tons. This is .intended for us& in the manufacture of a HfAon gun, which "when finished will'be the largest in the coast defense of the United. Sfates. To 'Hurti" this wonderful cannon a lathe i? now being made which will surpass nil other lathes in size. The machine will have'to'be 120 feet long and will have a- "tread" of nine feet. The gun itself will bo fifty feet long, and to turn and bore it the lathe wjllj of course, be required ,to be. double that length. All tbe tools and machinery to make this big cannon are being made purposely lor the job, so large "and strong must they be. The confract'lor delivery of the steel forgioga has been conoluded withjthe.BethTobera Steel Works, of jeasferniPerinsylwnia. But be fore that'eompanv tould make the fojgfngSjhpytpojiadVio"' erect a new tnaTtf liwSnoneKTor th:e bd sizes. The J10-ton gun will be of 16-inoh caliber, will require a charge of 1,000 pounds of powder, and will throw a projectile weigh ing 2,000 pounds. To even make these projectiles will .necessitate larger machinery in that line than is now in existence. Then, to transport the gun finally over the different lines of railroad (if the ocean route is not taken) would require stronger iron bridges than I are now in use.j ao the work ot enlargement goes on almost in definitely.- finitely. JY. CT. Letter. The Greatest And Least Eainfall. Rainfall in the United States varies in different sections from les3 than 4 to more than 100 inches. The rule may -bo generally fol lowed of a decreasing rainfall with increased distances from the ocean. Rainfall works inversely on tho tea line, decreasing on the Atlan tic from south' to north, and in creasing on the Pacific side from south to north. The greatest rain fall in the world is at Cherrapunji, Assam, India, where tho avorage is 493.2 per year. In 1871 for one year it was 905.1, or 55.5 feet. In the United States it is smallest in Lower Colorado. Generally the United States is blessed with a fair rainfall. "There is scarcely any locality in tho United States where rain to the amount of .2 inches does not occa sionally fall in a single day, while a fall of 1 inch is not unusnal." Downpours are not uncommon, and General Greely gives many instances. At Brownsville, Texas, during September 21 and 22, 1880, there fell 11.9 inches, of rain, but 30.4 was recorded in Rewab, India, and the climax was readied in Purneah, Bengal, when, in 1879, there fell in the day 35 inches. Ten inches in two hours, occurring in Pennsylvania, is a fair record, cloudbursts aroexceptional phe nomena. Tn' -Arizona, in 1881, there was a cloudburst. A stream which was dry rose in the day to be 15 feet deep, and in thirteen hours was dry again. N. 3". Times. Druggists are best Informed from ex perience what remedy is Hpplieablo to different diseases and their evidence is more valuable than that of an) body else. Kead the following testimenial: "I liavc been selling Simmons Liver .Regu lator for ten years, and can sav 1 never sold a medicine that has given such sat isfaction. Our doctors use it nnd pre scribe it In their practice." C.W. Cox- wat, Druggist, Wilton, N. C. lany of the blessings univer sally desired are frequently wanted, because most men, when they should labor, content themselves to complain; and rather lirlgpr in astate in which they cannot be at rest than improve their condition by vigor and resolution. DO XOT SrFFEE AM' LOXLEU. Tired feeling, dull headache, nains in various parts ot the body, linking at tne pit oi tue stomach, loss or appetite, fevonsliness, pimples or sores, are ail positive evidenco of poisoned blood. No matter how It became poisoned It must be purified to avoid death. Acker's, English Blood Elixir lias never failed to remove scrofulous or s philitic poisons. Sold under positive guarantee by J. V. Conn, Druggist. Fanned by the charm of loveli ness, the independent and virtuous spirit amalgamates with what is earthly. Thus it is that love dei fies the dust and brings down upon earth that which is heavenly. PAKE.NTA CBUIIXAIXY LIAIHX. More than half of all deaths occur betore six years of age.

Acker's English Baby Soother has done moro to bring this about than all other causes combined. You cannot afford to bo without it. J. W. Conn, Druggist.
