He avoided queries which would involve
him in definite explanation, but promised
a full statement after the conference to be

He said he arrived in Denver following the

A GREAT INVENTION.
Yhs Holmes Lubricant Expssinsnts
With Rulsd Cannon.

Especial 70 the KEssEBEc JOURNAL
GARDNER. April e7,-For some weeks
past the Holmes company has been making
extensive preparation for series Of tests
to establish the utility of their nsw lubri-
can. material a. . means of reducing
friction and increasing the rotary motion
Of shells fred from rihed cannon. The
preparations consisted In the securing Of 8
three and . half inch fifed cannon
and the manufxcture Of four shells to
fs the cannon, each eheli weighing
l6 pounds. Heretofore the shell hiss been
provided With band Of copper, material
which greatly increases the friction without
giving the amount of rotary motion nsces-
ssry. Mr.. r, Fl. Holmes. the pasentse OF
the new material, con,ended that by its use
in place Of the copper ring these objections
could be greatly overcome. The p,epsra-
tons for mskingthe tests were completed
Saturday and in the afternoon, the mem.
bers of the company and those interested in
the new material, made q trip to the
vicinity Of Pleasant pond, several miles up
the Cobbossee stream, where . suitable
range was obtained. The instructions re-
ceived by the government called for the
use Of two pounds Of gun powder, ba. only
one and one-qusrter pounds were used.
The four shots were fired and in every case
the results were highly satisfactory, going
far beyond their most ssnguine
expectations. The rotary motion i'm
parted to the shell by the graphite
ring was perfect, as shown by the manner
in which the shell penetrated the plsnking
and other distractions In its pathway, as It
cut smooth. round hole about its own sizs.
The shot as fired left tee barrel of the gun
finely polished. One of the shells was
traced for distance of two and one-hslf
miles, and its passage it passed through
planking and other obstructions, q fact
which shows that the friction is much less
and that only one half the amount of pow
der is necessary to carry the she'll havi g
the graphite ring than WAS required to carry
the shell with the copper ring. The
graphite ring is susceptible to contraction
or expansion and thus keeps the propellins
gases behind it more completely than the
copper ring. which does not possess these
properties to such a degree. Another test
Of similar nature viii be made at the
same range today and in about q week
much more extensive and elaborate
test will be made under the supervision OF
an expert, who will be sent here by the
United States Government In this tiual
test some thirty shells will be fired and
every part will be gwen thorough trial.
Ii is believed thst the ring Will give the
same satisfactory results which were so
prominently manifested in the exrerimeats
made on Saturday.
