The New Cast Iron iiuns. At the ordinance foundry of ILe South Boston Iroo Works a largo fores of workmen la at present engaged in completing the third aud last in the ser ies of the three 12 in. cast iron rifled guns with a steel tube and steel hoops. The work of putting iu the Pteel tube, which is inserted at the rear of the bar rel, extendiug through from the breech, bas just been completed, after three trials, to insure getting a perfectly tight joint at the shoulder or casing ot the gun. The gun was placed horizontal? OTer a iongiti'.udinal pit, and was then covered in with a boiler annd sheet iron. A Die was built under it, extending from the breech of the gun to a point in front ot the trunnions. The body of the gun was expanded by the heat, and the steel tube was inserted from the rear. A stream of cold water was kept circulating through the bore of the tube, to keep it cool, during the whole operation, which lasted about tweniy one hours. The gun was then cooled down at tire breech to make it grip the tube, so that in contracting the front end of the tube was brought to a tight joint against the forward shoulders in the casing or body of the gun. An in genious arrangement of bolts and screws, together with a 100 ton jack, was used in inserting the tube and hold ing it in place nntil the cooing was com pleted. The gun will be transferred to the lathe iu a few days to be finished, bored and ritled, aad will be delivered to the government early in the fall. The Great Aines of Japan. II. Kondo, a trustee of the Mining University of Japan, who came to this city with the Japanese Minister to the United States. left for Mexico Friday for the purpose of examining the mines in that country. He will return to San Francisco about the 2Stb. Mr. Kondo astonished state Mineral ogists Irelan and Supertendent Hall recently while down in a mine at Grass Valley. Mr. Kondo asked how many men were employed there. "We employ about 2"0 men the year round," was the reply of Mr. Hall. Then Mr. Hall asked bow many men Mr. Rondo employed in his copper mine. "Well," replied the Japanese Cru'sus "there art about '20,000 men employed as laborers and 0,000 in the smelting works in various capacities." The superintendent turned pale and Mineralogist Irelan lapsed into silence. Mr. Kondo stated further that the copper-miners are eight miles square. The common workman received o0 cents a day, but the foremen and superin tendents received salaries higher than is paid for similar work here. The heads of the Virions departments are generally Europeans, and they received from J150 a month toG.000 a year. Mr. Kondo la reputed to be the wealthiest man in Japan outside of the ltojal family. He operates sixteen dif ferent mines of gold, silver, and corper. Ills principle desire is to obtain a thorough knowledge of the mining ma chinery used, and for this pnrposo be will visit Arizona, Nevada, and Colora do in turn. After a visit to Washing ton and the great copper mines in Mich igan be will retnrn home by the way of England, Germany, and France. Magnetism in Wells. 1 read in a paper, a short time ago, an account of a magnetic well, which the writer evi dently thought was something wonder ful. In reality it is a very common oc currence to find magnetism in drilling wells. I have been engaged In the bus iness for eight years, and it Is seldom that I penetrate the earth to any great depth without coming in contact with magnetic influences On withdrawing the auger when it is highly magnetized, pikes or other iron subatancei adhere to it with great tenacity. These veins or streaks of magnetism occur at vari ous depths, and sometimes but a few feet of the stratum is impregnated with it, and on going below its Influence is not not noticed on the auger. We sometimes encounter magnetism two or three times In the same well. Drink Some Milk Hot. Milk heated to about 100 degrees Fahrenheit loses for a time a degree of its sweetness aud density. No one who, fatigued by over-exertion of body and mind, has ever expeiiecced the reviving influence ot a tumbler of this beverage, heated as hot as can be sirped will will ingly forego a resort to it because of its being rendered eomweat less accepta ble to the palate. The promptness with which its cordial intluence is felt is in deed surprising. Some portion ot it 3cns to be appropriated and digested almost immediately. and many who now fancy that they need alchollc stimulents when exhausted by fatigue will find in this simple draught an equivalent that "will be abundautty satisfying and far more enduring in its effects. Largest Tree In America. The Virginia City Enterprise says the largest tree in the world stands in a small basin near the Kaweah, and is sunounaed on all sides by a wall of huge rocks. There is so much brush in the vicinity that the little valley in which the tree stands is almost inac cessible. The men who saw it had no rule, tape-line measure of any kind, but one of them measured the tree witn his rifle, which is foor feet in length. He found it to be 41 lengths of bis gun in circumference at a point as high above the ground as he coald reach. The top of the tree has been broken off, but it is still of immense hight. Tt hat it Take to Feed a Locomotive. It will perhaps interest some readers to know how much fuel locomotive burn. This of course depends upon the quality of fuel, work done, speed, and character of the road. On freight trains an average consumption may be taken at about I to I pounds ot coal consumed per car per mile. With pas senger trains, the cars which are heav ier and the speed higher, the coal con sumption is greater. A freight train of JU cars, at a speed of 30 miler per hour, would therefore turn from HO to 1,3."X) 'unds of cotv! pr hour. K A SK I NE THE NEW QUININE.

Curtis, to practice what he preaches .uses turnips in feeding his bogs, and gives his experience. He says that the best pork ever made on the farm was made by feeding sixteen old hogs, twice a day. five bushels ot turnips and swedes, boiled, and mixed with a half bushel of rye, ground entire. Three weeks before killing-time tbe rye was increased to three pecks at each ueaL Tbe turnips were cooked in a potash kettle, which held, heaping full, ten bushels, when boiled nntil soft they were shoveled into a barrel, and tbe kettle filled again ; they were cooked with about half tbe fire required for tbe first lot. The troughs were filled with tbe turnips, the meal spread on, and the mass worked together with a hoe. Tbe hogs were then allowed to pitch in. After filling themselves with this suc culent and healthful food, they would go out into the ileld and lie down and sleep nntil it was digested, and then go and eat the rowen. or pick op the green leaves from the roots, and also tbe little turnips left in a portion of the field. They were fed only two meals a day, and this gave them time and aa appetite to eat grass, leave and raw rooLf, which in tneir torn helped to make growth and a healthy condition. These bogs were fattened with seventy five pei cent, of lean meat in them, and tbe flavor wis as near perfect as possi ble. Tbe store bogs were left In tbe pas ture until winter came, and bad very little meal, plenty of swede leaves, car rot tops, some apples, and all the grass they wanted I have never wintered hogs cheaper than tbe past year. Two-thirds of their entire food up to within a few days, baa been nothing but turnips, and the most of these common fiat turnips, called the red-top. The irnips have been fed raw morning aud noon, with a supper of thin slop, made of bran and rye meal and water, mixed op fresh. To cap the whole experiment one of bis young sows on a very cold night, farrowed a litter of eleven fine pigs, all of which did well. He says, if tur nips are 90 or 95 per cent, water, they produce wonderfully smart litters of pigs. The aversge squeaking, weak and helpless litter of pigs would all have died if they had been left to help themselves. Use fa I Suggestions. A thin coating of mucilage is recom mended as a remedy for burns ; It ex cludes all air and allays pain. For scouring steel knives, rub two common bard bricks together, put tbe dust thus obtained in a box in a bandy place ; you will find nothing better. Coal ashea mixed with salt and water to a stiff paste will harden like a rock and are good to fill cracks In stoves and can be uied to line a coal or soapetone stove. A simple dessert is made bv limns tbe sides of a monld with sponge cake and the bottom with sliced bananas. Fill the mould with stiff whipped cream. Set it on ice until eaten. To kill rats, fill a common wash-boiler one-tbiid full of water, and sprinkle over the surface a few bandfuls of oats. These will float on tbe surface, acd look like a tempting feast ; but the rat that ventures in is drowned. If the tomato vines are not staked, cut off tbe lower branches so as to trim tbe vines somewhat to a tree shape. By pinching off the ends or tbe tops and branches more laterals will be thrown out, and the limbs become stronger and better able to support the fruit. In cold weather, food that supplies carbon should be taken, but less in hot weather. During April and May, and also in July and Aognst, but little animal food should be eaten. A mixed diet is best, neither drawing nourish ment entirely from the animal nor the vegetable kingdom. tbj Bed-Haired (.Iris Dean Tan. A red haired girl, I believe, never turns browa. That. I understood from a learned physician. Is because she bas too much iron in ber blood. It is the iron that gives the fine Titian hoe to ber hair. If she bad lees iron in ber blood ber hair would probably be brown or chestnut, or perhaps blonde. The varying degrees of redness that you see in different proportions nf iron in their blood. A girl with glossy, brownish hair tb,t shows red in a stronor lisht has only a fair share of fron in ber blood, but a bncktop, if I may be per mitted the expression, a bricktoD is fall ot iroo. Tbe doctors know of no way ot neutralizing tbe effect or the iron. Terhaps they wouldn't resort to it. even if they knew it. For it is tbe Iron in the blood that makes the red-beaded girls so strong acd hardy and good-natured. It also Is the cause ot freckles, i which are very good for the health. And it is noticed as a singular thing probably also having some relation to the iron in tbe blood that mosquitoes never bite red-headed girls. So you see. according to the dictum of thia learned physician, a red headed girl baa many advantages over her dark-haired sister. Te Trevent Forging. There is no driver of a horse but that bas felt the annoyance that results from forging or striking the forward shoes by tbe hind ones, and yet this can be prevented. The occasion of the forg ing Is tbe bind feet are thrown forward and strike tbe front feet before they can get out of the ay, a result ot the action of the horse, which can be cor rected by nsiog a heavy toe-weight shoe on the front feet to make the horse reach further. After tbe front shoe bas been nailed on, take a rule and measure tbe distance from tbe coronet to the bottom part of tbe toe, observing tbe slant ot tbe foot. Measuring the hind foot the same way It will be found to be about an inch shorter, and it can m raised quicker by placing tbe shoe on the bind foot so that the distance from tbe coronet to tbe bottom of the toe is the same as the front foot, and then let the shoe project well behind, making it a little heavy, then tbe foot will not be raised so high and thrown so far for ward, and so forging wlil be prevented. This is a very simple procedure, and one that csn be ordered by any farmer who is troubled by forging in his horses, acd save an unnecessary annoyance. warmtwavesI Are rolling in.

A- 6U)CVM, HI f..rt Su. k. V. IK Surturcd by Wolyen. Tbe Zoologist for March reprints an extraordinary pamphlet entitled ; "An Account cf Wolres Nurturing Children in Their Dens." This pamphlet was printed in rijmouth in 1852 and has long been out of print. On a wrapper of a coppy in the Zoological Library of the natural History Museum at .Sooth Kensington there is tbe following mem orandum in tbe handwriting of the Ute by Colonel Hamilton Smith : "This account, I am Informed by friends, is written Colonel Sleeman. of the Indian army, tbe well-known officer who had charge of tbe Tbugg inquiries and who resided long In tbe forests of India." The writer records a number of cases of children who are said to have been nur tured by wolves in India. Iu one in stance a Isrge female wolf was seen to leare her den, followed by three whelps and a little boy. This happened near Cnandour. ten mile from Sultanpoor, in the year 1847. The boy went on all fours and ran as fast as the whelps could. He was caught with difficulty and had to be tied, as be was Tery reso lute and struggled hard to rush into holes and dens. When a grown-cp person came near him be became alarmed and tried to steal away, but when a child came near him he rushed at it with a fierce snarl. like that of a dog, and tried to bite it. "When cooked meat was placed near him he rejected it with dis gust, bat when raw meat was offered he seized it with avidity, put it on the ground under his bands like a dog and ate it with evident pleasure. He would not let any one come near him while he was eating, but be made no objection to a dog coming and sharing his food with bim. The trooper who captured tbe boy left him in charge of the Rajah of Hash poor, who sent him to Captain Xichel lets, commanding the first Ilegiment of the Oude Local Infantry at Sultanpoor, and some interesting notes as to the boy's habits are given on this officers' authority. He died in August, 1800. and after his death it was remembered that he had never been known to laugh or smile. He used signs when he want ed anything and very few of them, ex cept when hungry. When his food was placed at some distance from him he would run to it on all fouts like any four-footed aBimal, but at other times he would walk uprightly. He shunned human beings and seemed to care for nothing but eating, if the pamphlet can be proved to ta perfectly trust worthy It certainly deserves to be care fully studied b anthropologists. Filling Out Orchards. In almost every orchard are vacant places caused by the death of the trees first set. If this happens tbe first year or two, tbe vacant places may be filled, and with a little extra care the latter set tree will be able to hold its own, and come into bearing about as soon as its fellows. But among "older trees a vacant place cannot be ho easily filled. There seems to be room enough, tfcnt there is not. Tbe tops may not Inmin gle by many a yard, bnt close examin ation of tbe 6oil shows that the roots of surrounding trees have interlaced throughout the vacancy. Generally, if a young tree is eet among a lot of older ones, the farmer does his best to befriend it. He digs a deep wide hole, partly fills It with manure, covers with dirt, and sets his tree over it. Quite often the tree thus Injudiciously coddled dies the first year. If it lives, it bas a sick ly, precarious existence. All around it an robber trees, whose roots start for thia rich foraging as soon as it was placed there. They establish them selves firmly under the little tree. Per haps the latter, after a desperate strug gle of a few years, yields a little frnit. It is nature's effort to offset attempted destruction by an unnatural stimulation of the means of reproduction. Much the better course. If a vacancy occur in the orchard, is to fill the vacant place with manure, and omit the tree plant ing. Almost all orchards are. tco crowded, and an occasional vacancy is leally an advantage. Photographing In Colors. The latest invention in photography is tbe discovery of a process by which colors as well as objects may be photo graphed. By the use of several plates instead of one. three negatives are taken on plates specially prepared. These are exposed in a triple camera. In front of them "light filters" are set, carefully adjusted, so as to admit to plate the amount of light just requisite Impress on tLe negative tbe picture of such a color as will, when combined with the other two colored negatives, reproduce the desired color and light and shade of the object photographed. In a recent lectare Mr. Ives, an invents or, exhibited the photograph of a land scape, in which tbe different shades of green In foliage and varied colors cf sky, houses, aad barn, with the rich orange of autumn leaves, were perfectly portrayed. Thia will work a revolution evan in pftoto-engravlng, while the composite photographic process, producing tbe fine lines of wood engraving, which the gelatinized zinc piate was not able to furnish, now rivals handwork so accus rately that the difference is not discern ible except to the expert. i How to Write on Ice with Ink. Not manv of you my children will care to write your letters on ice, even denng the summer months. But I was rather struck with the novel idea, when a boy of the Red School-house toli tbe dear Little School-ma'am a bit of news that lately had come to this country from Austria. It appears that Francis Joseph, the Emperor of Austria, has a country seat near Vienna,, and on this fine royal estate is a lake which in win ter is used as a skating pond. Well, during one of the latest Austrian "cold snaps," an expert Vienna gentleman went skating there, with a litile re sevoir of ink adjusted to the back of bis skate in such a way as to allow the ink to flow out in a fine, steady Btream. Then off be started, and before he Lad skated long, there appeared in his rapid track tbe name ot the Crown Princess, beautifully and rlainly wrilteu upoa tte ice. fn OurPopuforBrand sua X " f f finest Wfitfce found, a, Co77jbthatio?zwGt always o defy ad.
