THE vESUvIUs Is A TERROR.

Dynamite in Six Minutes.

She Can Throw Four and One-Half Tons of
Dynamite in Six Minutes.
Philadelphia Special.
The contract between the Dynamite Gun
Company and the government stipulates
that before the Vesuvius can be accepted
each of the three 15-inch guns must be fired
five times in ten minutes. or on an average
once in two minutes. In a preliminary
trial. yesterday, ten blank shots were fired
in eight minutes, or On an average one shot
in less than a minute. Starting with her
three guns loaded. as would be the case in
battle, the trial yesterday proved that the
Vesuvius could fire eighteen shells, each
containing 500 pounds of gelatine and dyna-
mite, at an enemy In six minutes. In six
minutes the Vesuvius can steam two and
one-quarter miles, firing all the time as she
approaches an enemy.
AS the guns of the Vesuyius are fixed at a
constant elevation of Is degrees, the range
of her projectiles can be changed only by
varying the amount of air admitted to the
gun-barrel in the rear of the shell.
The air is always admitted from the firing
reservoir to the gun at a pressure of 1000
pounds per square inch, and the valve
which controls the admission of air must
be so delicately adjusted that the amount
admitted may be varied at will and to q
nicely.
In other words the valves must work to
such perfection that the final pressure upon
the shell may be diminished from 1000
pounds to the square inch to the pressure
Just sufficient to drop the shell a short dis
tance from the muzzle.
To attain such perfection in the firing
valve. using such enormous pressures. many
trials and experiments have been necessary.
As q result of forty blank shots fired yes
terday the certainty that the valve mechan-
ism will control the final air pressure, IN
creasinQ il or diminishing il a few pounds
at will. was demonstrated. thus insuring
certainty of fire at all ranges.
AS soon as final pi6 SEPARATIONS car be made
the board of naval officers Will convene to
witness a trial with dummy shells to satisfy
the provisions of the contract.
