people of high position, and the open hos
tility Of Others who do not hesitate To pro-
claim education the parent Of socialism and
anarchy. and frankly say that the common
people know 10 much already.

quired mile. In the test for rapldity of
firing the contract required that loadingand

In the test fifteen iron plugs, weighing
about 527 pounds each. were fired, and from
the moment that the loading of the first
gun was commenced until the last shot
was fired seventeen minutes and fraction
elapsed. The air compressers were not
working during the time, although IT would
have been allowable, and yet at the end
of the firing the reservoir contained enough
air To fire eight more shots az n mile range.
Each of the fifteen shots was fired
with volume of air which had suiiiced TO
carry service shells one mile. The pause
between the first and second tests was due
10 the shifting of the Nesuvius.
