TIE new x.inch Armstrong gun at Shoe
buryncss gives vClOcitics Of 1000 feet per sec
ond with seventy pound projcctiles while the
pressure in the Chamb Der does no. exceed fifteen
tons per square inch. II weighs about eleven
tons, and has n far greater penetrating power
than the old cleven-inch guns, which weighed
twenty-five tons. This decreased weight of
gun, with enormous increase OfetlicicnCy, shows
the rapid progress made iu artillery within
the past year, aud it further shows the posi-
bility of so arming those merchant vessels
which could not use the older heavy pieces as
to make them very effective for Offensc or de
fence. There Is every reason to believe that
the development Of certain new principles in
gun construction will lead to even more as
tOnishng results.
THE operation Of giving smooth surface to
shot and shell by means of the lathe has been
practically abolished IN the Royal Laboratory
department of the WoOlwich arsenal. Prujrc-
tiles are now cast Of the exact size required aud
with smooth surface. Two advantages have
thus been sccuTed-thC cost of production Is
reduced, and the hard and strong outer surface
Of the shells is preserved.
