The Largest Dynamite Gun.

According to Pail Mall Budget, Messrs.
Taunton, Delmard, Lane 81 Co., of Bir-
mingham, are just finishing the largest
dynamite gun which has yet been made.
The gun is to be discharged by the expan-
sion of condensed air 1t u pressure Of 5000
pounds per square u, the impulse Of
which is a safer props.dng energy than the
ignition Of any kind OF powder, because it
does not operate SO suddenly az to cause a
danger of the premature explosion of the
missile. The contract with Messrs. Taun-
ton e. Co. is for fifteen inch torpedo pro-
iector which will throw a charge OF 600
pounds of dynamite a distance of three
miles, but il is expected that this contract
will be followed by orders for still larger
weapons.
The barrel or pneumatic tube OF the gun
is of Whitworth forged steel, and weighs
about eleven tons. 1t is supported at the
breech end on fixed trunnions fifteen inches
in diameter, which are followed for the
passage of the compressed air. IL Is said
that the noise of the discharge being small,
the projectile might be dropped into q fort
or on to ship without giving the bcsieged
any intimation OF the quarter from which
the attack came. The conclusion when the
dynamite exploded would in all probabil.
ity he violent enough to put large garri.
son hors de combat. even IL they were not
wounded by debris. and truly aimed sin
gle shell would destroy an ironelad.

Ffrst-Our scorpion floats on the water,
but lies almost entirely below the surface.
This proves to US that the specific gravity
of camphor is nearly but not quite equal
to that OF water. AS matter of fact, If
we regard that Of water rs unity, that Of
camphor is .995.
Second-The animal does not dissolve.
Ca1nphor is therefore insoluble in water.
II we had placed 1t in spirit we should
have found, on the contrary. that it speed

Third-The different fragments Of which
our scorpion consists do not separate, but
remain one against the other, as we origi-
nally placed them This is because they are
held together by the force known as CO.
hesion.
Fourth-The eccentric movements we
have mentioned depend on a well ascer-
tanned but mysterious property OF cam
phor-namely, that when placed on the
surface of water it moves spontaneously.
1t is we'll known fact that q morsel OF
camphor placed in a glass of water will.
after few moments, begin to move either
with a sidelong or rotatory movement,
such movement being due, according to
some authorities, to the escape Of liberated
vapors; according to others, to mysteri-
Gus force inherent to the surface of liquids,
