GREAT GUNS FIRED AT SEA.
All Four of the Monitor Terror's 1O-Inch
Guns Discharged at Once.

Tie monitor Terror, of the United
States Navy, did what no other ship in
the United States Navy ever did. She
fired solid shot at sea from her four 10
inch GU ms in one volley. All the guns
went off as ono piece. They were fired by
electricity from the bridge. Nearly
1000 pounds of powder was burned in
doing it and q ton of metal was hurled
into the deep. That volley represented
about $500 worth CT material destroyed.
The recoil of the four tguns represented
no less than Sc, O00-foot tons, and yet the
Terror showed SCARCELY tremor as the
guns plunged back from the discharge
ard then slipped into theirEplaces. That
same energy would have lifted one ton
Sc. 600 feet into the air. That reveals
the posi- bilities of such craft as the
Terror, whose largeS6 guns dre VI bne
10-inch size.
1t was terrific shock. No one can
describe the deep boom of sach volley.
1t was like an earthquake to the ac-
compartment Of heavy artillery. Every
man en- the bridge had stuffed his ears
with cotton, and this deadened the
sharp-cutting blow on the tympanuIn OF

and then all strained their eyes to see
the splash. The noise was forgotten at
once. About 10 seconds passed, and
then three miles away to this east two
immense geysers spouted u2 from the
OCEAN. They went up to height OF
fully rs feet, and for a second or two
seemed to remain stationary. Then il
was that they looked like beautiful Ice
tergs cleaning in the sun. Their green
sides flashed with colors. Soon they
began to melt, Sano Just as they were
dropping their glowing forms into the
sea two mora geysers sprang up half a
mile beyond. They wers fully so feet
tall They, too, became icehergs, and
then as they began to melt, two more
geysers, probably 90 feet high, sprang up
and were transformed to 5ergs. Then
Others, smaller and smaller, leapt into
the air as the four shots, in pairs. went
