The exports o(f the Uivited States Ord- nance Deparbm«nt at Washington have onder cc:iEideration a new gun that is expected t o revolutiooiie the gentle trt ol cannoD maJcing. The difficulty encountered by the makers of heavy ordnance ims always been '^hat when ooBstructung a gun to be used for fir- uig the tjvmendousiy p<>werful charges OBe-1 U» these days it has been ioitos- Bible to 'guarantee that the explosion Vril] not dams^ the gtui so aa to In time render it useless. The claim is made for the new gun that it is indestructible and mieets all the needs of heavy ordnance that ex- perts have been seeking in vain for so loBg a time to procurv;. It was Invent- ed by Edwin F. Bowl, of Chicago. The most ititer<«ting feature of the gun to these who are not experts m the matter of the force exerted by exploding powd- er on metal is that the cannon is con- structed in such souUl sections that it can be carried around by the artliiery- â- neti who \iae U. It can be taken to pieces and put together again in aa amaziingly short lime, and whien ready for firing, according to the claims of the Lnventotr. it ia the strongest can- non ever invented. IHero iS what Mr. Blood sA^a about it :â€" "The fan is constructed in sections of moderate weight, each section leiug made out of cast, bat u£ rolled stfel difik^, carbooized to Lbe dt-sired degree. Each sectikjia is ring shaped^ and of a â- Lze to match the ce-utrai steel tube. Troubled Sleep. Nightmares and Dreams Filled the N:g'atB With Terror.

T&a foUowingi ILttle story of h>ow a horsie called his driver to work is only soother itialance of the intelligence of man's mo^ widling and able helper, the horse: "It is on reeord that during the build- ing of the '^Vaierloo bridge, a horse called Jack was employed to draw atoue trucks along a traurway. Near at hand was a 'ueer shop, used by carters and navvies. < Jack's driver, named Tom, was an honest fellow and very kind to Jack, but too fond of spending more time than he ou-rht at the Ijeer shop. Jack, tboug-h a restive animal, got accustomed to I'om's habits and waited patiently till an overlooker started into activity. "On one occasion the superintendent, Ijeing away, TVjm took so long a sped'l at the ale that Jack grew lired^ and the trace fastener being long enough, he put his head Inside the beer house dbor. and seizing the astonished Tom by the collar wi.tb his tes^th dragged him out to his duty at the truck."
