Chambers SAYS:

OhuhUS'o coy %
But the chivalry of the public
toward the newspaper is peculiar.
The public would appear to believe
that anything it can coax, wheedle,
or extort from the newspapers is fair
salvage from the necessary expendi-
lures of life.
Recently | listened in amaze
mcnt to the Rev. Robert Collyer
boast at Cornell University dinner
Of having beguiled the newspapers
of the country. He told how he
had schemed and got money to build
a new church after the Chicago fire.
He did not make it very clear that
the civilized members of his race
clamored for the new edifice, but he
made painfully clear his ideas Of
chivalry to the press. 'f

OF course this was said good-na-
turedly, was meant to be funny, and
was uttered from a public rostrum
with an utter obliviousness to the
mental obliquity that q momont's
thought will disclose. Itleft upon
my mind much the same impression

apparently respectable man boast Of

Of these questions he returned re.

POWDER FOR TIE TwELvEINCH GUN.

Washington July % (SpeciaD.-1t Is understood that
the officers of the Army Board Of Ordnance regard as
unsatisfactory the recent test Of the twevench gun al
Sandy Hook not on account Of any fault Of the gun
itself but because Of the unsatisfactory nature Of the
powder used in the trial. The powder burned too
quickly and placed undue strain upon the gun. al
ibourh The charge was far below the service charge
The theory of powders for all guns Of high power IS to
have the charge burn gradually, that the projectc
is given constantly accelerated speed until 1t leaves
the muzze Of the gun. If the consumption IS too sud
den the result an undue strain the powder cham
her of the gun, which is highly injurious and even
dangerous to the frer. If, the other hand the
charge burns too slowly, some Of the powder viii be
blown from the gun unbuned. 1t Is the aim OF pow
der makers TO hit the correct medium and to get the
full force Of all the powder without straning the gun
If IS obvious that this requires different kind of pow
der for each calbre of gun. The Dupont Powder
Company has developed successful powders up to that
for ten inch guns for The Navy and will follow this up
by q twevench powder By the time the Navy guns OF
that calibre are ready for trial.
The War Department has relied on foreign powder
for trying its guns, and the first lot they have
received unsatisfactory that there will have to
be a considerable delay until suitable powder Is
obtained The maximum chamber pressure OF the
new gun is to be 1G.5 tons per square inch. with which
900 pound proiectile IS to be given $50 feet veo
city with charge Of 40 pounds OF powder. In last
weeks firing the heaviest charge used was but $40
pounds OF powder and yet with reduced charge the
pressure sixteen TONS and that, too, with pro
iectle weighing but ESQ pounds. The velocity was
1859 feet per second but If the projectile had been
