CANNON TESTING.

Interesting Experiments at Sandy
Hook-The Value of Altered Cannon.
The United States Board OF Ordnance Oficers
continued yesterday at Sandy Hook the expert
ments they began on Friday to test the value OF
cannon which have been altered from smooth
bores to rines Thus far they have tried only one
gun-an eight-incn rife, with steel Interior
which was formerly ten-inch Rodman cannon.
during the series OF experiments have not yet
been mounted, ana one or them, q thirteen-iDch
weapon, has not yet arrived at the Hook. The
tests applied yesterday had very excellent results:
stun the Board are not satisfied and viii apply
others more severe during the coming week.
seven SHOTS We're hled yesterday. the charge at
the first fire being twenty-five pounds OF powder.
This was gradually increased until the nth rounu,
i. wnen me charge consisted OF thirty'nve pounds
were fred. Tie results attained with this cnarae
were velocity Tor the ball Of I451 ieet per sec
ond, and the enormous pressure on eacn square
inch OF the pr0jectile on leaving the cannon's
mouth OF $4,000 pounds The gun gave no sign Of
even the slightest strain under this great iorce,
which, however, caused the ridges and the de-
presslons Of the inside OF the cannon to De trans
lerred to the brass binding Of the breecn OF the
conlcal shot. One trouble has been caused TO the
expcrlme ting ofcers by the fact that the muzzle
OF the gun they have been using Is heavier than
