CUBAN HOSPITALITY,
rtsuU of a Hot Midwinter Tramp From
Santiago to Havana.
We quote the rlosiug paragraph* or
nu account, in the Century, by H.
Plielps Whitmarsli. author of "The
World's Hough Hund." of a liot midwinter
tramp from Santiago to Havana:
Although the entering of a city at
night and on foot was no new thing for
either of us. .\?*i at that tltne, after for
ty-slx days on the road, and after having
walked seven hundred and tlfty
miles with that partieular city as our
goal, we looked at the mysterious arc
of iight iu the heavens before us with
a sirauge pleasure not unmixed with
cxultutiou; for not only h:i?l we accom]illsh?'d
what we had set out to do
wltli safety add in perfect health, but
we also had that peculiar masculine
satisfaction of knowing that we were
the first white ineu to travel through
Cuba ou foot.
As soon as we crossed the bridge at
Guanahaeon we saw the eleeetrle lights
of Havana in circles, squares, and
seemingly endless rows. The whole
city was aldar.e. The placid waters of
the harbor over which we looked were
shot with silvery streamers. For the
remaining four miles we forgot our
sote feet, our weariness, even our hunger.
and stepped along at a gait in
keeping with our lively spirits. At
every turn wt round evidence that wo
were again entering civilization: first
a great, wliite-walled fort guarding the
road; then brightly lighted carriages;
later a paved strit't. and at last a
liorse-ear. Then t'roiu the suburbau
gloom we suddenly emerged into a
busy thoroughfare. We had made forty
miles that day. and were in Havana.
Hut alas! our rejoicings were tpilVkly
nippi d in the bud. Before we had gone
a block a small man with a large whistle
appeared at Balaam's head. He
looked at us suspiciously for a moment,
then whistled twice. As if by
magic four policemen appeared. In
vain we protested, threatened, and
nourished hnudfuls of papers under the
little man's nose. Our looks wore
against us. With a jubilant negro
crowd surrounding us, we were marched
ofT ignominiously to the police-sin- i
tIon for the seventh time, and "run j
in." mule. dog. ami all. for tly night.
Tims even to the last we were the recipients
of tin* one thing above all
others that a stranger nutlets in CubaMs
boundless hospitality.

MAKING A HEAVY GUN.
rakM I<on(tr Than tuc CoaitraeUaa of
the nblp That Corrloa It
Mr. W. J. Gordon sketches Woolvioh
arsenal in the Leisure Hour.
\mong u host of interesting descripdous
may be selected here what he
tays about tbj making *f a gun: "In
'.heir ea-W stages these gunB are unexpectedly
long and slender things, ow
ng to tnelr lielng without the colls
mil jackets that build them up to such
tmlkiness. They look their longest
luring their wiring, that modern proc?ss
which enabled uh to reduce the bulk
if the gun so much that the podgy
Woolwich iufants have developed into
graceful boys. There is something
startling in finding a gun being treated
ike a bat-handle, the only difference
ietng that instead of waxed thread
rou wind on a thin flat strip of steel
having a breaking strain of 10b tons
to the square inch, and wind this on
In several layers instead of one. The
fun revolves in a lathe as the cricketbat
does, but much morn slowly, and
In place of the wooden spool of thread
there stands, at right angles to it, a
huge Iron reel, from which the riband
Dr wire, as It Is called, which Is about
a quarter of an Inch wide, is wound
an ipirally at high tension, the spirals
being knocked up tight to each other
with a punch whenever they fail to
wind on closely together. The gun is
thus wrapped with literally miles of
wire mostly in the region of the powder
chamber. Over the wire jacket
come the hoops of cast steel cut out
of ingots as disks, and forged into
rings Just a trifle smaller than the linger
they are to fit: and when these
are finished they are one by one, for
there are many of them, hcuted just
enough to expand them, and slipped
over the gun Co shrink and grip it as
they cool, the gun being upright at the
time, with a stream of water flowing
through its bore to keep the temperature
down. In this way wiring is all
hidden, and the gun looks as though it
were built up entirely of these nius
slvp hoops, as it used to he. The lathe
work and other operations necessitated
by all this may be imagined, and wo
cease to wonder why it takes longer to
make a heavy gun than it does to build
the ship that carries it."
