Firing Under Water.

A stage was erected in the harbor nc
Portsmouth within the tide mark on
this an Armstrong gun OF the 10
pound pattern was mounted. The gun
ives then loaded and carefully aimed
at a target while the tide was low.
The target itself vas placed only
twenty-five feet from the muzzle OF
the gun. 1t was composed of oak
beams and planks, and was twentv-one
inches thick. In order to make the
Griper invulnerable, a sheet of boiler
plates three inches thick was riveted
TO the water logged hull in direct
range with the course the ball was ex-
pected to take if not detected by the
water.
On all OF these-the oaken target,
the boiler plates, and the old vessels
hull-the effect Of the shot from the
submerged gun was really startling.
The wooden target was pierced through
and through, the boiler iron target
was broken into pieces, and driven
into its "backing." the bail passing
right out through both sides of the
vessel making two huge holes, through
which the water poured in torrents.
Taken altogether, the experiment was
an entire success.

From the snow on the crests of the

rapidly grows in volume until it
reaches the edge OF a perpendicular
cliff overlooking "A beautiful plateau Of

centuries the water has poured over
the precipice until it has cut a smooth
passage, something like a large pipe
