SMOKELESS POWDER TESTS.
Successful Trials With Four and Eighi
Inch Guns.

WARRINGTON, March 3I.--Some very
gratifying results have been obtained with
= hand made sample Of smokeiess powder
At the naval ordnance proving ground al
Indian Head. The tests with the powder
made hy he ordnance bnresu's chemist nj
Newport have hitherto h.en confined ta
small arms, Including the one, three and
six pound guns and the foar-inch rapid fire
gun, promising results having been obtained
in oil cases.
With charges about nebalf those used
with ordinary powders the veiocities were
Increased from l59 to 200 foot seconds,
with no increase Of chamber pressure. The
naval chief Of ordnance At the time ex.
pressed the hope that smoksless powder
might come into extensive use in ali guns
OF six-inch calibre and below it.
The test which has Just aiken place was
with four inch gun and with an eight-inch
gun. In the former weapon = THIRTY three
pound projeotile was used, with 4 powder
charge Of FIVE and half pounds. The
velocity obtained vas 2l60 foot seconds Mt
= pressure of "a tons. In the case Of the
eigh,-inch gun "a eighty pound proiectiFe
WAS used, as 10 done 10 the fore gn services
The powder charge was sixteen pounds, ard
there vas developed velocity Of 24i5 foot
seconds and . pressure Of ID 8 tons. These
results compare favorabiy with those OBJ
tanned abroad under much better eondi-
tons
This seems 10 settle the question, If any
ever existed, Of the merit Of the naval
smokeiess powder.
