Builders Iron Foundry, of Providence, R.
L, partly sub-let with the Morgan Engi-
neering Works, of Alliance, o. These are
aptly called the spring-return carriages.
The piece is mounted upon a cross-head and
recoils along slides inclosed at an angle of
30 degrees on the inner sides of the heavy
cheek pieces The recoil is absorbed by
hydraulic cylinders, and also in compress
ing pile of cup-shaped (Belville) springs,
strung upon rod, on each side, in the line
of recoil The reaction of these springs
causes the piece to return at once to the
firing position.
Another type of heavy mortar carriage
Cthe Canet) has also been procured for trial
This acts upon the hydro-pneumatic princi-
pie. An air cylinder is placed centrally
and connected with the two hydraulic cyl
inders, one on each side. The water is
partly forced out of the hydraulic cylinders
in the recoil and acts upon piston to COM
press the air, which then reacts to return
the piece TO the firing position.
Tie modern service guns and mortars
manufactured by the ordnance department
for seacoast defense are typifed, by caliber,
as follows:

now p.tsued, are based generally upon the
report of the board on fortihcation and
other defenses, made in 1885, That board,
as may be well known, submitted estimates
for land and harbor defenses of the prin-
cipal lake and seacoast ports, q in number,
the land armament to consist chiefly of "A
16-inch, 2O3 12-inch, ODD 10-inch and 102
S-inch steel breech-loading guns, or an ag-
gregate of 81 heavy guns and 700 12-inch
breech-loading rified mortars. A policy of
moderate annual appropriations was inaugu-
rated two years later IN place of that recon-
mended by the board to appropriate S21,-
500, 900 for the first year and $4,000, GOO
yearly thereafter until the completion of
the work. The present policy has the ap-
parent merit of providing just so much
money annually as the bare necessities of
the work demand. 1t has so far satisfied
these demands as regards the making of
guns, but unless the proper extension and
development of the work is unduly re-

develop as the trials at Sandy Hook are ex-
tended. They constitute very powerful and
effective weapons of defense, which can be
properly utilized only on land-being prac-
tically useless to mount on shipboard, where
the platform is too unstable to secure accu-
racy of. fire. Hostile ships approaching
within range of five miles of the shore bat
teries will find themselves in a very dan
gerous neighborhood. Targets made over
water have shown that 81 per cent of the
shot struck within the space of a ship deck
$50 feet long by so feet wide if taken bow
on, and IA per cent, if broadside on, at a
range of five and one-half miles. AT about
one mile range the percentages of hits for
the two positions of the target were found
to be go and 43 respectively.
Vessels of whatever kind are most vulner-
able to the high angle fire delivered by
these pieces, by which even the armored
decks will be readily pierced or shattered
by the heavy projectile, as experiments
have demonstrated. The projectiles now
used will be supplemented by steel shell Of
1000 pounds weight, containing powerful
bursting charge.
Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-01-03

Some of the 12-inch guns to be hereaftre
made will be 40 feet, or 40 calibers in length
Guns of 16-inch caliber will be made as the
necessary legislative approval is received.
These guns will weigh 125 tons and will use
a charge of 2, $40 pounds of brown powder to
propel projectile weighing 2,370 pounds.
The enormous energy of this proiectile,
g. 400 foot-tons, can be appreciated in stat
ing that it is equivalent to the striking
force of ,000-ton ram moving at the rate
of II knots an hour
Very interesting and full of portent for
the future have been the trials of smokeless
powder fired from the and 10-inch sea-
coast guns at Sandy Hook during the past

first lot of IL S-inch guns will be completed
in February, when the forgings of that size
will Be exhausted. Meanwhile work is pro-
crossing upon 38 10 and 12-inch guns from
forgings under delivery. A further supply
of 33 sets of s, 10 and Pinch forgings have
been contracted for. But the output of the
factory will require that money must be
granted to make contracts for additional
forgings within the calendar year 1892, in
order to prevent deficiency.
Gun-Carriages for the Seacoast.
General Flagler makes an earnest appeal
for funds needed to increase the facilities
for the manufacture of gun-carriages at the
Watertown arsenal. Unfortunately this
work is some years behind the guns. Dur
ing the past year available funds have been
used to improve the plant at the Watertown
arsenal, which is engaged upon alterations
of existing carriages, and new s-inch and r.
inch barbette carriages, of which limited

The necessity of having well equipped
government factories is not, however. less
mandatory. They are needed primarily to
meet emergency demands for military sup
plies of every kind and especially new ma
terial which has not, whether in kind or
quantity, reached a commercial basis; and
after such status of any particular manu-
facture may have been attained they are not
less needed to govern the cost of production
and prevent the formation of "rlngs" among
the comparatively few firms which devote
themselves to specialties in the manufacture
of war material.
The Pacific Coast Left Defensele.s
There is at present no plant of any kind
adapted to the manufacture of heavy guns
on the Pacific coast. The question whether
the Government shall establish there a
factory for the manufacture of the very
considerable number of heavy gnns and
mortars required for the defenses of that
coast has been carefully studied by board
of army officers appointed by the President,
pursuant TO the act of August IS, 1890
The report of the board, which also treats
of the coast facilities for steel production on
the coast and other localities, has been
published, and is now before Congress for
its action. The board finds that about 500
heavy guns and mortars may be required for
the defenses of the Pacific coast and Puget
Sound, and the report states: ''The board
unanimously and as strongly as possible
recommends the erection on the Pacific coast
of gun factory of capacity such as to
enable the guns for that coast to be Ready
at least as soon as those for the Atlantic and
gulf coasts"
General Flagler, who succeeded General
Benet as chief OF ordnance in January, 1891,
says that at the Watervliet gun factory the

Work OF the Private Guanakers.

That private industry should have a
large share in this work is a natural de-
velopment of our institutions, wherein the
keynote is commercial rather than warlike
ascendancy. The amount of new business
that has been created and the improvements
in methods of manufacture introduced by
the necessarily rigid requirements of ma
terial procured by the Government have
been of no small moment to the commercial
interests OF the country. This is evidenced
by the number of firms having important
contracts with the army ordnance depart
carriages, proiectiles, powders and heavy
machinery for the army gun factory, namely:
The California Powder Works, Dupont
Powder Works, Bethlehem Iron Company,
Midvale Steel Works, South Boston Iron

of home manufacture, and also the first T.
inch steel gun prepared for service in this
country. The two services, army and navy,
sre to-day working independently TO make
each service a deserved source of ma
tioaal confidence, and the spirit of
friendly though keen emulation thus
engendered is one of the best guar
aDtees that can be given to insure good
results and economical administration.

year: A charge of so pounds of this pow
der, little more than one-third of the serv-
ice charge of brown powder, gave the 300
pound projectile of the s-inch gun a
velocity of 2, 162 feet and the energy of
9.,72o foot-tons, with pressure not exceed
ing the capacity of the gun-a performance
heretofore unexcelled One very important
result to follow from the adoption of the
smokeless powder will be that, as, ceteris
paribus, the force of the recoil decreases
with the weight of the powder charge, the
difficulties of the carriage construction will
be lessened.

The use of hose or allowing water to
run for irrigation purposes will not be
allowed except between the hours of FIVE
and nine O'Clock m and six and ten
O'Clock p m. This rule must be carefully
observed. Violations of the same will
be sufficient cause for shutting the water
of from the premises without notice.
Wherever hose is used for any purpose
it will be charged for extra except on
sidewalks in front Of stores where water
is paid for tor other purposes.
The use of hose to sprinkle streets will
not be allowed under any circumstances.
All leaky or defective gates, garden
valves, stop cocks, water closets or fix
lures of any kind must be put in good re-
pair and kept so and ali unnecessary
waste OF water prevented carefully. Fail
ure to do this will be considered cause
for shutting water OFF.
Use of water for any purpose must be
confined strictly to the premises and
uses for which it is paid for.

a Simple Problem.

The value Of baking powder is in the lcavcn-
ing gas 1t contains. If one brand is stronger
than another, it is worth more per pound
because it goes further in baking.
Royal Baking Powder has been determined
by the official chemical tests to be 27 per cent
greater IN leavening strength than any other
brand Its actual value to the consumer is
therefore II per cent. greater than the Others,
ms is equal to 1917 cents per pound
IT, therefore, other powders are forced upon
you, see that the charge for them is 13E cents
per pound less than the price of the Royal.
