Tho present remunerative price of wheat and tho vast flocks of English sparrows have opened the eyes of the farming community throughout tho country. That this pest is as destruct ive as numerous and Increasing to nn alarming extent has long boon ac knowledged, but how to save the bread of the people from these feathered rob bers Is it subject which those most deeply Interested have not yet found time, apparently, to give any serious attention. The Importation of the simrrow from a country where prizes were offered for its destruction was In tho first place tho work of a fool, but now that we have the evil and show no disposition to mitigate It places us all on an equal footing. Something must be done, but how to do It and who Is to bear the expense are the questions. Tho Country Gentleman, the fore most agricultural Journal In this coun try, warned tho United States gov ernment against this useless and pes tiferous bird as long ago as 1S0S, when tho Idea of Its Importation was first broached. In ISfiO, when several lots arrived, the same paper urged that their numbeis be nt least kept under control, as the bird was too fond of tho farmer's grain. It is needless to say that the advice was In vain. Some effort, however, is being made of late to start a crusade against tho English house sparrow, and it will no doubt be brought before the depart ment of agriculture In due time. A start In this direction has been made by Miss Ormerod and Mr. W. B. Tegetmcler, who have Jointly prepared u circular tho upshot of which Is this: "Wo find, In nddltlon to what all con cerned know too well nlrendy of tho direct and obvious losses from sparrow marauding, that there Is evidence of the Injurious extent to which they drive off other birds, ns tho swallows and martins, which aro much more helpful on account of their being wholly In sectivorous: also that, so far from tho sparrow's fond being wholly of Insects nt any time of the year, even In tho young sparrows only half has been found to bo composed of insects; and of tho food of the adults it was found from examination that in a largo pro portion of instances no Insects at all were present, and of these many were of kinds that are helpful to us or harm less. Also It Is well on record that there are many kinds of birds which help us greatly by devouring Insects, and that where sparrows have syste matically been destroyed for a long course of years all have fared better for their nbsence; nnd also, attention should be drawn to the enormous pow ers of Increase of this bird, which under not only protection, but to some extent absolute fostering, raises Its numbers so disproportionately ns to de stroy the natural balance." Tho advice of many American au thorities that this bird should be de stroyed Is then quoted with approval; and the authors conclude as follows: "Reasoning on the same grounds ns to procedure In this country, we be lieve that similar action Is called for here. The amount of tho national loss, by reason of ravaged crops and ser viceable birds driven away, may be es timated, without fear of exaggeration, nt from 1,000.000 to 2,000,000 a year. We do not pretend to offer suggestions ns to what may be considered fitting to do by government authority, but much of their own perfection lies In tho hands of farmers themselves; nnd spar row clubs, well worked and always bearing In mind that It is only this one bird that Is earnestly recommend ed to their attention, would probably lessen the load to a bearable amount; nnd wo believe that subscriptions, whether local or from those who know tho desirableness of aiding In tho work of endeavoring to save the bread of tho peoplo from these feathered rob bers, would be money wisely nnd worthily spent." Tho sooner these suggestions nre adopted, and vigorously carried out, tho better. (,'erlnln Irish Stories. From tho Cornhlll Magazine. A Roman deacon wns sent for to bap tize, a baby. In tho cabin he could find no water, but thtro was a pot ot tea. "Tea," 1'reasoi I'd, "contains water, tho rest Is but accident," nnd proceeded to pour out a cup. Hut It was strong, oven lo blackness, bo he went In search of wa ter, and, having found some, watered the tea down to a more rcavonablo color, christened tho baby with It, and reported tho circumstance, ns a caso of conscience, to his superior. It had not occurred to him, having found tho water, to use It by Itself. A tutor's letter of condolence sent to a bereaved parent. This was unkindly attributed to Oxford. The tutor wroto: "I am sincerely grieved to hear the sad news of your eon's death. Hut 1 must Inform you ho would havo had to go down In any case, as ho had failed to sat isfy tho examlrers In classical modera tions." One other 'story I may add here, -as It serves to Illustrato n cortaln disparity often noticeable between Saxon and Cel tic word values, and also tho way In which Irish orators discount their own rhetoric A homo ruler was hurrangu Ins on English terrorism, and, after draw ing a horrid ptcturo of babies speared on the points of bayonet, etc., ho conclude!: "If that's your civilization, you may keep It. 1 call It most Improper."

It Weighs lit (I Tons and Shoots Sit torn .nilcs.-It Hurls n S,300 Pound Shell wllli tho Impnet ol n 3,000 Ton SMp at Full Speed. Tho largest gun ever built In tho world is now being constructed nt the Uethlehem Iron works. This en ormous piece of ordnance will weigh when completed 12G tons. It will ex coed by six tons weight the monster gun which Krupp, of Germany, exhibit ed at the world's fair In Chlcngo, and In length It will be nearly five feet longer than, tho German gun. This monster weapon Is being fabri cated under the orders of tho wnr de partment. It is the biggest order ever given to any establishment In tho world. Tho great gun is being built under the superintendence of John P. Meigs, formerly a lieutenant of the United States navy and a standard artillery authority In this country. With him is associated Captain E. U Znlinskl, United States army (retired). Tho government inspection work is in tho hnnds of Captain Ira McN'utt,' of tho ordnance corps of the army. All three gentlemen are- on the ground and per sonally see to every detail of the im mense undertaking as It progresses. FOR XEW YORK HARBOR. The Intention of the war department, It Is announced, Is to mount th? great piece on a specially built foundation on Homer -Shoals. The protection for this gun will be a turret, which will wholly Inclose tho crew nnd the'greater part of the gun. From Its position on Homer Shoals the great piece of ord nance will have a full sweep of the channels leading Into New York har bor. There Is not, It Is declared, a ves sel nlloat today with armor of suf ficient strength to resist Its shot. John F. Meigs estimates that a blow from tho new gun would have a striking en ergy equal to that ot a 2,000 ton ship when running at full speed. The shot from the gun, he udds, would smash, crack and battr down any armor which It would bo possible for a, ship to carry. The caliber will ho sixteen Inches. ,The length, from beech to muzzle, will bo forty-nine feet two Inches. Through the breech In a vertical lino the gun will havo a measurement ot exactly live feet. Mr. Meigs computes the weight of a shot for the new gun at a little over 2,300 pounds. That means more than a. ton of metal. The heav iest shots fired In England have not weighed over 2,000 pounds. Tho powder charge for the American gun will weigh nearly 1,000 pounds, Provided extreme elevation for range could be obtained, a shot from the N'C'W York harbor gun should be able to travel more than sixteen miles. The greatest known range over at tached was from the famous "Jubilee fihot" in England. Tho distance meas ured about twelve statute miles. The United States has never before attempted any heavier piece of ord nance for coast defense than a 12-Inch gun. The weight of a piece of the lat ter caliber Is approximately fifty tons. In tho slxtoen-inch gun , there Is ob served a Jump of n seventy-six tons increase In weight. FIRST INGOT CAST. The first ingot for the new sixteen Inch gun was cast at Uethlehem last week. It was for the tube forging nnd weighed S2.S0O pounds. Tho jacket forging is also out. It weighs 90,000 pounds. Under .the contract made with the war department the Uethlehem works will turn out all forglngs for the great gun. The tempering nnd an nealing processes will also be applied at tho Uethlehem shops. When nil the parts are out, the tube. Jacket and hoops will to? shipped to the United States arsenal, at Watervllot, West Troy, X. Y. There they are to be as sembled together, and the gun Itself rilled and made ready for service. All metals used Is fluid compressed. Tho specifications which are being nd liered to demand tho most exacting physical tests. Speclipen pieces of inetnl nre taken from nil forglngs and are subjected to elongation, breaking and bending tests. Finally, every part of tho gun must be forged metal. The tube, for Instance, has been cast and rough bored. It will haw a man drel Introduced through Its length and then be placed under the hammer For this latter stage the Uethlehem works have .tha largest hammer In the world. It Is capable of delivering a blow of 120 tons, or some ten toiiB more thnn tho famous Krupp hammer. The building of the new slxteen inch gun Is nn "expensive undertaking. Tho gun Itself will cost about $120,000. For single guns the average cost to th- government for all fabrication work In this country Is roughly $1,000 per ton of gun. The cost of tho gun carriage and tur ret will bring the cost up again to ns much as .tho weapon, while the cost for foundation will, Is Is estimated, round out a grand totnl of at least $300,000. The foundation for the flx-teen-lnch gun will require a depth. It Is said, of fifty feet If ieaith be the basis. This foundation must be con structed of concrete. FALLING ELEVATORS. Is the Responsibility in .Hon or the Mnchinury From Electricity. It often does seem that Inanimate objects are actuated by motives such us are only properly attributable to to sentient beings, and some one who has noticed this propensity ha writ ten a book upon the natural perversity of Inanimate objects. That bread will usually fall with tho buttered side down, and that a collar button will almost Invariably roll under the bureau Instead of toward tho nilddlo of tho room, aro matters of such common ex perience as to be admitted on all Hides. Fortunately tho loss of llf.- has been smnll, but that has been due to good luck rather than to good management, since the elevator5' that fell happened to fall when thoro were few passeng ers. It Is customary In New York to place tho management of thoso large olllco bulldliiEH In the .hands of soma real estate man, and it often hnppens that one man or firm becomes the agent of a largo number of thoso buildings and for all of them selects the help required. t5HELK. TA It Is perhnps natural that such an ngent should strive to keep .the ex penses of administration down to tho lowest notch compatible with efficiency nnd tho temptation often leads to a further step a reduction of expenses to a point beyond that compatible with safety nnd clllclenry. In several of tho recent elevator oc cldentsi the trouble hns been directly traceable to the employment of engin eers and others totally Ignorant of tho machinery ,thcy wcro called upon to handle; and In ether cases our inves tigation shows thut tho management ot the building Is in the hands of the Junltor a man totally innocent of me chanlcal knowledge or ,tho ability to discriminate between those who nre and who aro not competent In this line. XTnfortunntely tho law does not re quire that the onp!neer ot an elevator plant ho nn export engineer, nnd In competent men nre therefore too often Placed In charge of the lives of thou sands of pasfiongors dally visiting the building over whose elevntors .they hnve charge. This class of men are employed why? Simply because they nre cheap. In fact, nt tho coroner's Inquest over tho bodies of two men who had lost their lives by the falling of an elevator ecently, tho makers of the elevator which fell defended themselves solely on tho ground that the accident was due wholly to th ignorance of those in charge, and so It goes. There are some ugents, however, who employ none but the best men and who take every precaution to render the usa of their elevators safe. These not only employ competent men to run their elevators tnd other machinery, but some of them have adopted a method of inspection which is Intend ed to still further insure safety. One such method is this: A committee of three of his moe skillful employes Is appointed .to inspect periodically all the buildings for which he is respon sible. These three men make the rounds nnd examine everything, from the coal pile to tho incandescent lamp, Includ ing the elevators, their safety catches, pumps and other accessories. In caso anything Is out of order, their report fhows It and It must be put in order at once. Now, constrastlng tho ' results of these .two diverse systems, we find that with the one accidents have been most frequents and In the end costly; with tho other accidents have been rare, If Indeed they havo ever occurred. It matters not whether the elevator bo hydraulic or electric, accidents aro "bound to happen If the penny-wise-pouiid-foollsh sybtem Is employed, and they will bo rare even with Inferior machine! y and apparatus If tho lib eral and sensible policy of employing none but competent men is followed. Llfo Is too precious to bo Intrusted to Ignoramuses. This elevator manu facturers should, for Ihtlr own protec tion, see that their apparatus is placed In propel hnnds. On this platform both the hydraulic and electric eleva tor manufacturers oin sland together. California Excursions. Personally conducted. Leave Chica go every Wednesday.
