DYNAMITE PROJECTlLES.

LONDON, Sept. % Within a few days
experiments are to take place In Wales
with an American invention known as
''Snyder's dynamite projectile." Foreign
governments are interested in the tests
and several of them will have military and
naval experts to watch the results.
Some four or Eve years ago +. II. Snyder
of New York conducted Il series of trials
at Sandy Hook and on the Potomac near
Washington in firing dynamite shells from
cannon with gunpowder. company
to exploit the invention was started in
New York and soon after Snyder came to
England and offered to exhibit bis inven-
ton before the authorities. While the
government seemed anxious to learn about
the invention it would not lend a cannon
for the test, and he brought his own gun
with a quantity OF projectiles TO England,
but the government threw so many obsta-
cles in the way of trial that he shipped
the gun to Turkey, where trials took place
at the Dardaneles They were so success
full AS to interest London capitalists, and II
conpsny Vas formed here with 5000 600
capital.
Some two years ago grounds for tests
were procured in South Wales, and q local
license was obtained. but after few shots
an order came from the home office for
bidding further trials until special gov
eminent license had been obtained. After
waiting more than year this was finally
obtained and a short time ago private
exhibition was made for the sharehol ders
Snyder says that the guns used were a
six inch breach loading naval rife and a
seven inch muZzle loading rife. The
highest charges OF powder were used, con-
sistinR of one-third quick burning black
powder, with two-thirds brown prismatic,
which gave the shell charged with from
ten to fifteen pounds of nitrogelRtine an
initial velocity of 565 meters per second.
The charges were so heavy that the con-
crete foundations. nine feet in depth under
the guns were shattered. The shell or
projectile is adaptable to any style OF ord
nance without alterations. A single shot
at the recent test wrecked strong steel
armored targets and pieces of the shells
were found mile and a half from the
explosion.
After the approaching trials are over
Snyder will return 10 America, where
further experiments will be made.
