Grants Pass At Your A Shabby Royal Palace, The Persian royal ulnco la most unattractive place. The courts are fill ed with painted figures of cast Iron In a kind of operatic ltouioo's costuuie, ud with boys of gilt Iron offering vermilion cups to gilt eagles. The tanks are stag nant and shabby, the gardens neglect td. The rooms are horriblo even for one of those munumouts of bad taste called royal palaces; tho walls are cov red .with mirrors, aud a decoration mado of small pieces of mirror set In elaborate patterns, the effect remind ing on of a wedding cake. The fur niture la without exception European, of poor quality and worse taste; there Is not a single one of those exquisite works of Persian art which in the col lections of Europe arouse enthusiasm not so much as a fine carpet. Neither the famous peacock throne o long er roneously thought to be the one built for the great moghal and looted by Nadir Sbab nor any of the Jewels are now exhibited.

Tbe making of a big gun Involves a much Intricate work as tbe putting to gether of a locomotive or a giant crane. A twelvo inch gun on board a battle ship Is fifty feet in length and has an extreme range of tweuty-Ove miles and an effective . range of twelve miles There Is a vaxt amount of Intricate and delicate, trained workmunnblp wanted In the Onlab of a giant cannon.
