which the increased power OF modern artillery has
made necessary, the ultimate object being to attain
the greatest amount Of protective power with tho
least possible weight. But the number of manuiactur-
of is exceedingly limited in consequence
of the cost of plant and the sil and experience re-
quired.
Some writer's anxious to criticise those who have
given so much Importance to the tests Of armor
have asserted that because some OF the plates were
partially pierced through by the proectles used. the
armor was useless, since the penetrating power OF
modern artillery superior the resistance Of modern
arnor plating. But the circumstances attending the
tests at the proving grounds very different from
those in battle. In target practice at the
proving grounds the fire is normal, the
guns fixed platforms, and the range only
q few fcet-that is the muzzle Of the e-nch gun Is
only fifty -four feet two inches forty inches nearer
than the 6inch rifle. distant from the
centre of the plates toward which IL was
pointed. The proIectie Weighing 100 pounds, is steel
pointed and strikes with velocity Of about 2,1OO
feet second, and energy OF little less than 5000
foot TONS In battle where the range is great, the
armor fitted TO the ship is constructed to present. the
least amount OF normal surface, and the attacking gun
and moving ship are ever changing their positions.
In sea.fght, armor does not lose its power OF re-
sistance, while tho gun, the contrary, loses much
OF its power In an attack.
In the summer Of 1886 advertisements pub
lished by the Navy Department for armor and gun
steel for the ships then authorized. These advertise
ments stipulated, Congress authorized should be
DONE that all armor and gun steel should be Of
domestic manufacture. and the Bethlehem Iron COM
pany anticipating these needs took steps to meet tho
Government requirements far possible, and put
In the most expensive and complete plant in the
world. Contrncts were given by the Navy Depart
ment for both gun steel and armor plates; and in
