into such gloomy minds by the Crd

the Exposition opens for its six mouths'

great wcrl; of et. Meeting the newest dis
play of tin- kind ever made in this
country. It was an absurd question
perhaps that I asked when I inquired
if his exhibits would be ready on May

looked repi ovingly at me.

'I he big gun of whieh I speak is a
United States Army t uel ve - inch
breeebloailing rifle, model of LS!C.
mounted upon a disappearing carriage.
Its weight, stripped of everything,
even the breech block, is 115.000
pounds. Its total length is SS-liK)
feet. The maximum diameter at the
breech is -1-1.5 Inches. It throws an
armor piercing shot weighing 1.000
pounds, the length of whieh is three
and one half fed. It also throws a pro
jet t .lo.an armor piercing shell weighing
l.ut: pounds, four feet long, t arrying a
burstiug charge of '6'.t.l pounds of gun
cotton. The charge of powder is "J-10
pounds of smokeless or 4;!() pounds of
brown prisma! ie powder. The muzzle
velocity of the projectiles under the
ai.ove conditions is ;i!0 feet per sec

muzzle energy Is :;ti.u'71 foot tons. The
power of penetration in steel at the
muzzle is ,"0.U inches, at 1.000 yards

and at 3.5K yards 'JL5.5 inches. The
total weight of the gun and carriage ts
477.050 pounds. The carriage is twen

and the gun win n in tiring positiou is

carriage. When the shot is tired. Ihe
recoil causes the mechanism to lower

curacy of aim for about eight miles,
and the extreme range is about double

To enable the observer readily to
make an intelligent comparison of the

Harris has caused to be placed by the
side of the great twelve-inch gun a ten

barbette carriage the rifle is at all

nism and its liability to -get out of or

particular use. On elevated sites the
parapet furnishes all the protection re
quired, but on a flat coast the disap
pearing would seen to possess very
great advantage. It is thought that on
low sites the rifle must be mounted
either on a disappearing carriage or in
a turret. The expense of a turret is es
timated at about four and a half times
the cost of the disappearing carriage?.
The Endicott Hoard on Ordnance and
Fortifications a number cf years ago
decided in favor of the disappearing
carriage, and the department has been
laboring to obtain a satisfactory one.
The one shown at the Pan-American
Exposition is considered the most per
fect in the world.
The ten-inch breecbloading riile is
from the model of 1S05 and weighs 00.

The solid shot is three and one !c
feet loner. The nowder t hai ire is 1

pounds of smokeless powder, and the
muzzle velocity of the projectile :s
2.300 feet in a second. The maximum
pressure per square inch is 37.ooo
pounds. The muzzle energy with the
charge of smokeless powder is "Jl.oso
foot tons. The gun has a penetrating
power of twenty inches in steel at
2.500 yards.
At the right of the ten-inch gun a
twelve-inch mortar has been mounted,
and it is no small affair. Farther to the
right is a live-inch rapid lire gun. All
are mounted behind sectious of a para
pet, and t lie four pieces represent one
gun of each type used in seacoast forti
fications. To the left of the great twelve-inch
disappearing gun will be exhibited the
old seacoast ordnance of the United
Slates, arranged in a historical series,
the twelve-inch guu itself representing
the climax. Near the small building
specially constructed for this purpose
will be displayed the mountain, bold
and siege guns of the present day. to
gether with types of old guns used in
the different wars in which the United
States have b.-eii engaged.
The Ordu-ince exhibit will show the
historical development of ordnance in
the United States, a gun representing
every type adopted by the United
States and showing the evolution ot
guns, mortars and howitzers. Among
the howitzers will be one made in 171K1
There will also be thirty or forty tro
phy guns, displayed according to peri
od of capture. A novel feature will be a
trophy fountain, representing a burst
ing shell, with water spouiiDg from its
crevices. This will be mounted on a
pile of projectiles, surrounded by tro
phy guns.
'Ihe largest guns mounted in any of
our seacoast batteries during the war
of 1SP2 were twenty-four pounders, the
diameter of bore being less than six
inches and the weight of guns 5.500
pounds They were a little over ten
feet long, and the powdt r charge was
six and eight pounds of black powder.
They wen mounted upon wooden car
riages In t! e thirty two pounder,
with a caliber of 0.41 niches, usuig a
charge of eight to ten pounds of black
powder, was adopted, and in 1S31 the
forty-two pounder, with a caliber of
seven Inches and using ten to fourteen
pounds of black iowderv came into use.
In 1S44 the eight and ten inch Colum
biads fired a shot weighing sixty-five
pounds and used a charge of ten to fif
teen pounds of black powder. The ten
inch shot weighed 120 pounds, and the
powder charge was eighteen and twen
ty pounds.
In 1Sj1 the first fifteen-inch Rodman
gun was cast. These guns were
smoothbores of cast iron. The process
of manufacture was evolved by Gen
eral Rodman, who, to prevent injuri-
mw strains produced by cooling cast

Nothing
Tssieo Good
And eating Is simply perfunctory
done because it must be.
This is the common complaint cf
the dyspeptic.
If eating sparingly would cure dys
pepsia, few would suffer from it long.
The cniy vay to cure dyspepsia,
which is difficult digestion, is to give
vigor and tone to the stomach and the
whoia digestive system.

The entry into womanhood b a
critical time tor a girt Little i
strual disorders started at that time i
grow into fatal complications. That
female troubles are filling graveyards
proves this. Wine of Cardui estab
lishes a painless and natural menstrual
flow, when once this important func
tion is started right, a healthy life wUJ
usually follow. Many women, young
and old, owe their lives to Wine ot
Cardui. There is nothing like it to
ffive women freedom from pain and to
it young women for every duty of life.

Miss Delia M. Strayer, Tully, Kaiu "I
have suffered untold pain at menstrual pe
riods for a long time, was nervous, had no
appetite, and lost interest In everything,
in fact was miserable. I have taken four
bottles of Vine of Cardui, with Thcdford's
Clack-Draught, when needed, and to-day
I am entirely cured. I cannot express the
thanks I Ucl for what you have done
for me."
