The interesting fact is developed by expert
ments of the United States Ordinance Depart
ment that iron, by repeated fusion, up to Ger.
tain number Of times, is thereby greatly i'm
proved in strength. Guns cast solidly, and
those cast hollow, through which latter water
was made to circulate after casting, showed an
astonishing difference in their relative strength,
the difference being in favor Of the hollow-ca cast
gun, which is attributed to the method of cool
ing the solid gun, contracting from the out
side, exerting a strain upon the arrangement
Of the particles of the metal In the same direc-
ton as the strain Of the discharges. The ex-
periments also showed that old castings are
great deal stronger than new. Eight inch
guns, proved thirty days after being cast solid,
stood but u charges, thirty-four days, 81
charges; one hundred days, 73l charges; and
six years, 1882 charges This phenomenon
is accounted for By supposing that the particles
strained in the cooling re-adjust themselves in
the course Of time to their new position and
become free or nearly so. These are impor-
tant facts for engineers Exchange.
