IVE OF THE BIG- forging is accepted by the government it tor at the works and shipped to the Wash- ington navy yard. The price received by the makers for such accepted forgings averages cents per pound. The price is renderea thus high on account of the fine quality of the stcel and on account of the fact that the great size of the forgings makes necessary the building of @ vast plant especially for their manufacture. THE TURE AND JACKET. ‘The tube forms the main body of the gun. The jacket is a larger cylinder placed over the tube at the rear, encompassing the powder | chamber to give it greater resistant strength. The chase hoops, of lesser thickness than the Jacket, cover the tube in front of the jacket, While the jacket hoops form a third layer of steel over the jacket. Thus the rear or breech part of the gun is built up in three layers, the middie in two layers and the muzzle in’ but one—the tube simply. The above is the cess pursued in the production of each set of a1 ne TURNING a 13-INCH RIF} SUPERIORITY OF AMERICANS.

It is a prosperous cit; commercially; its bazaars are well stocked wi choice and costly goods, among which are the velvot carpets, many of them having handsome goid embroidery, ‘The carpets of Herat have always held a very high place, oven in the east, among the cele- brated mannfactures of the kind, for their durability and colors, Daghestan rugs derive their name from Daghestan, a rocky and mountainous district on tho elope of the Caucasus in Asiztic Russia, Years ago these rags were exported only in small quantities and were sold masaly to con, noisscurs, who had a mania for collecting rare Nebuchadnezzar had captured Jernralem, she had already risen to greatness if noi to glory.” Benares is the resort of pilgrims from other parts of India, Thibet and Burmah, and also forgings—a complete set comprising the tube, the jacket, the chase hoops and the jacket hoops.

The pile ts oft and rather short. ‘The colorings excel all others on the globe, and perhaps the only reason why their pre-eminence is not un- derstood is the fact of their newness and recent construction. ‘The other admirable gan shops of the Washington navy yard have long been Fecognized as invaluable features of our na- tional armory system, and it is well understood that the highest ciass work has been turned out of the foundries, forges, projectile shop, gua- carriage shop, breech mechanism shop nnd rolling mills there; but tue public know little or nothing about the wonderful new “North Gun Shop,” where the latest big ordnance to astonish the natives ts being fabricated —begun in May, 1887, under the administration of Secretary Whitney and Capt.
