Progress In the PrOdnotton oe ApplAaM0as
for Destroying Life and Property.
The Investigations BY The House and
Senate Conamittees Oh naHhl mud mili-
tary affairs and appropriations into
the question OF providing for coast, de-
fenses, war ships, etc. have haa the
effect Of developing 4 great deal Of In
terastlng infornietiDn Id regard 10 i'm.
proved war arms and ammunition.
The most interesting exhibit was made
BY General Hurst Of Mississippi, be-
fore the House committee ona naval
affairs the other day. The General
exhibited a newly-ingented reinforced
cartridge, which he proposes to intro
duce III the side-afIas. rifles and field
pieces Of The army and navy. sin che
first place, the cartridge starts 0pt7on
the principle that there should be
three times as much powder in weight
as lead or steel, steel missiles
being used instead of the or
dinary lead. For tho purpose
of, overcoming the rebound or
"kiclxn o new principle Is brought into
acquisitions One-third of the powder
Is exploded behind the ball, and when
the missile gets ahont four orr five
inches from Its starting-point the twO4
thirds tf the charge Oh powder is exs
pl6ded. Thus the resistance which il
usually encountered ia starting the
missile is overcome, and the two-thirds
charge Of powder adds additional force
in moving the ball by Its being on the
move before the heavy discharge of
powder occurs. General Hurst showed
that he can shoot with the COMMON
army rifle aisteel ball through an inch
Of solid steel plate, and that without
obstruction the ball would be forced a
distance Of four erflve miles He pro-
poses to shoot q large missile from
a field-piece q distance. Of twelve or
fifteen miles, and to make 1t penetrate
sixteen or eighteen inches Of steelplate
at a distance of three or four miles,
and he will shoot steel ball from a
side-arm a distance Of three miles.
Lieutenant zalinski's dynauiite shells
have been described heretofore. These
are fired from mortars and cannon a
distance Of from two to four miles, and
the explosion will destroy the most
nearly invulnerable ship or breastwork
ever made; and it Is improbable that a
ship or bfeastwork will ever be con
kstructed that can withstand the fogea
of these shellsfIa sfeYs
Lieptenant Gfaydon has also In
vented a shell which can be fired a
longer distan ce, and, 1t III said, with
greater security and accuracy than the
zalinski invention, Lieutenant Gray
don's shells are loaded with a compost
ton Of his own invention, which is
said to be more destructive than any
dynamite. Walls Of boiler-plate and
steel two feet thick have been de-
stroyed by the Graydon missile. Con-
gress proposes to appropriate $780,
100 for the purpose of manufacturing
