New Jersey Journal.
The largest gnn in tbe world for
throwiug dynamite projectiles has
been untde in tbe shops of Ribon &
March, Jersey Oily. The tube or bar
rel is sixty feet long, bore eight inch
es,. and brass lined throughout. Tbe
gnn, with its ponderous frame and
carriage, weighs forty-three tons.—
Tbe parrel is of heavy wrought iron
pipe, iu four sections of fifteen feet
each, bolted together by means of
couplings, forming a collar around the
tube, and bolted with steel bolts. Tbe
bore is smooth, and the brass lining
is an eighth of an inch thick. 'The
gun rests on a truss made of I beams
and Leavy stout plates revolving in
tbo trunnion bearings at tbe breech.
The truss is heavily braced.
The gun is fired by compressed air.
Tbe air chambers, wbicb act ns reser
voirs, are cylinders sixteen feet long
and eleven inches interior diameter.—
There are eight of these reservoirs
resting on a frame, four on each side
of tbe gan. The air cylinders connect
with tbe main castings by means of
brass nozzles. Tbe barrel is bolted to
the reservoirs anil upright castings,
which are carried on a frame of 12
inch channel irons. Theno in turn
are fastened to rollers, which can be
trained laterally in any direction.—
The barrel can bo elevated to nn angle
of sixty degrees above the horizon.—
A cylinder placed in tbe frame, charg
ed with compressed air, elevates tbe
•iQSP'dyijrcd-.yigle.. The trass
is also elevated by compressed* air by
simply turning a small band-wheel.
The gun is charged with cartridges
five feet long, eight inches in diame
ter, and containing 180 pounds of dy
namite. Brass shells containing the
dynamite are inserted in a cast-iron
oone forming the projectile, which ex
plodes wherever it strikes. Tbe pro
jectiles are hoisted with a crane and
inserted in the breech, which closes
with a self-acting apparatus. This
consists of a large brass nut which
serene into the breech, and is covered
with a cup vulve, thereby making the
raugnziue chamber perfectly air-tight.
The gunner stands on the platform,
and with a email lever aud hnndwheel
elevates or trains the gnn. Upon
pulling another lever, which operates
a series of valves, the brazen-throated
giant is instantaneously discharged.
There is no recoil and no report. The
moment the projectile leaves tbe gun,
tbe series of valves admitting the air
pressure close, shutting ofi nil further
escape of air. After the first bomb is
thrown, five more can be discharged
without any additional supply from
tbo mr compressor. Tiie telescopic
sight is fastened to tbe ends of tbe
trunnions of the breech, so that n per
fect uiui is obtained iu line with the
centre of tbe tiarre 1 . The frame rests
on a carriage with four wheels. Toe
forward wheels revolve around a king
bolt on a bed plate; tbe hind wheels
on h curved rail.
The gun was made for the Pneu
matic Dynamite Gun Company, of
New York. It bus been imte t in i-v-
DOES THE WORLD LIVE!
Professor Henry Nichols, of Ford-
barn, N. Y., advances tbe theory that
the earth is alive. He says the earth
is a living, breathing creature, an or
ganism of flesh and blood, of bone
and sinew, of muscle and brain. It
has respiratory organs and digestive
apparatus like any other living being.
It entertains likes nnd dislikes, and
passes through the ordinary phenom
ena of birth, growth, maturity aud
death. Tbe earth breathes only once
in twelve hours, or twice a day. Yon
can tell when it breathes by the tides.
Twice a day all over the world the air
recedes and advances. The respira
tion doos not make the laud'move.—
If you will look at the map you will

One of Ills Rules-
A fashionable yonng lady, who was
very homely, was speaking ton female
friend about a rich young gentleman,
who was also at the bull, and who
was considered quite n catch.
“lie is such an intelligent and
charming youug man. He promised
to dance the first dance with me, and
lie kept his promise like a gentle-
man,” remarked the homely lady.
“Yes," responded her friend, yawn
ing, ‘T heard him say that it wus one
of bis rules of life when he had nny
thing disagreeable to do, to go nt it
as soou us possible, aud be done with
it."
They have not been seen arm-in-
arm on the sirei-t since.

“Got nny cow-bells ?"
“Yes, step this way.”
“Those are too small. Haven’t yon
any larger?"
“No, sir, the largest ones are all

Rusticus started off, and got as far
as the door, when the clerk called af
ter him:
“Look here, stranger, take one of
these small hells for your cow, nnd
you won’t have half the trouble in
finding her, for when yon hoar her

An Appetite That Waa Stronger Than
Her Coniclence,
Wbat curious people one meets on
tbe train, Tbo gnsb of a down East
woman in n buffet car cn tbe Peon
syivania Railroad, the ojtber day, was
ludicrous.
“Wnitah," she chirped, “what haav
you foah lunch?”
“Almost anything, ma’am. ”
“Coiffny ?’’
"Yes, ma’am.”
“Let me have coffay.”
“Bread and butter, ma’am."
"Let mo hove—ah—hot mbffinn.”
"We have none, ran’nm.”
“No hot muffins?” How pruvpkeen.
Let mo have bread—and say, waitab,
let me have—ah—oysters, nnd—ah—
chicken salad, and—ah—some boned
turkey, nnd, ah—”
She got them. She smnoked her lips,
but not for pleasure. Sbe was rnnd.
“Waitab,” sbe snarled viciously, ns
tbe startled porter answered her ring
—“wnituh! Wbat do you mean by
giving me such beastly coffay ? It is
notbiDg but grounds—nothing but
grounds. And the oysters I Say,
wuitab, where did you get them oys
ters. They are canned.
Tbe porter shrugged his shoulders.
“I’ll change them,’’ said the porter,
meekly.
Ho changed them, and sbe thanked
him with a grimace.
Five minutes after the train had
left Harrisburg tbe porter rushed
through the car in a white sweat.
“She’s gone,” he gasped.
"Who?
. .‘‘The.old woman with- »Jtdavy ap'
petite,” he groaned. - —-~u—--"T
"Wbat of it ?”
"Nothin—only she left at Harris
burg without paying for luob."
The womau from down East was
sharper than sbe looked.
An ingenious Philadelphian is mak
ing a fortune out of the despised nnd
empty tin cans. He renovates them,
rolls them out iu sheets, nnd sells
thorn for trunk plate coverings. At
the factory the soldered seams are
subjected to an intense bent, in sucb
a way that the solder is allowed to
run into'a receptacle, and is carefully
saved und sold, the profit from this
source alone almost paying the ex
penses of gathering and handling the
cans. The tops ami bottoms of the
cutis are melted and turned into win
dow snslt weights. This may be a
hint for some Southern man.
Experienced people are generally
well acquainted with the force of hab

ble to shake off habit, whether good
or bad. ' How important then that
habits of tbe yonng sbonld be good.

The name of a person is something
that neither tbe editor, printer nor
proof-reader rsu guess nt successfully.
If there nre nny words in the copy
prepared by correspondents carelessly
and illegibly written, they nre, in two
thirds of tbe cases, proper names. If
there is nDytbing that makes an indi
vidual mad, it’s to have his name mis
spelled, or distorted into something
else, yet in niiiety-niDe cases out of a
hundred it is the fnnlt of the person
writing tbe same.
A PARALYZED BARBER.
He Tries to oat a Farmer’s Hair and
Finds He Wears a Wit.
There’s a new barber in a Smith-
field shop who is said to blnsb every
time a customer comes in with a head
of hair over a week's growth. Tbe
cause of his trouble is this: A well-
known Moon Township farmer came
in Saturday, nnd, mounting the chair,
lay back for a shave.
“Hair's getting rather thin on top,”
ventnred tbe barber as be lathered
his victim's ohin.
“Yes,” responded tbe gentleman,
seriously.
"We’ve got the dandy tonic here,”
ventnred tbe barber when about
through.
"Good, isn’t it?” said the man in
cbnir, affably.
“Why, it will grow lioir on nn egg,”
responded tbe barber, ns he pnnsed
to pat tbe top of his customer's head.
"Now, is you.nre getting qnite bald
ap here, and I’ll bet in a mouth it will
grow oat nod be ns thick ns any
where.”
Here followed a panse, during wbicb
the shave was finished, and as be dried
the farmer’s face, be inquired:
“Try a little of the tonio to-day,
sir?”
"No; guess not,” was tbe reply.
"Say, yonr hair is getting pretty
long, ain’t it?” Or, was yon going
to have it cut ?”
"O, I guess it isn’t too long."
“Pretty long. Don't nobody wear
their hair long nowadays ?”
"Well, I guess I’ll let it go this
time.”
•fHave.n shampoo ?’’
"No;**"* '■
"Try some of-this sea-foam? It’s
the boss thing for this Pittsburgh
dirt.”
“No; and now I’ll tell yon some
thing, yonng man. After this don’
bother a man with a wig abont cn'
ting bis hair and tonios and sham
poos. It might embarrass him—
see?” amt tbe gentlemnn lifted tbe
eoverieg to bis cranium off, show
ing a bead with less hair on it
than a roll of country butter. It par
alyzed tbe barber so that the bald-
bended man had to put his wig on his
knee and comb it bimself.
