Rapid-Firing Guns.

The terms rapid-fire" and "quick-
firing" guns, so frequently seen in the
press reports of naval affairs, do not
convey to the ordinary person any
adequate idea of the improvements
that mechanical ingenuity has ef-
fected in ordnance in recent years.
While rapid and quick firing guns are
the smaller weapons of a battleship,
they are not the dimiuutive affairs that
they are ordinarily considered, as the
improved methods of breech mechan.
ism and loading have been intro.
duced in the case of 6.inch guns,
which throw 1OO.pound projectile.
The saving in time and ease of ma.
nipulation are effected by using fixed
ammunition, in which shell, powder
and primer are united. The 6-pounders
OF which there are numerous types
can discharge with accuracy twenty
to twenty-five shots per minute, q
number which can be raised TO thirty
or thirty-five if accuracy in aiming
the piece is dispensed with. From
5-inch rapid fire guns thirty.six shots
have been fired in five minutes, and as
each OF these projectiles is seventy
pounds in weight, the effect can be
readily understood.

some of the things told about two
months ago have not materialized.
The airship man, who was to drop
wads of dynamite on Spanish ships,
has not been heard of lately. Neither
has the man with the new photo
graphic apparatus, who was to 60 up
into the air and take snap shots of
camps and harbors. He would be
handy at Santiago just now. Edison
has not come to the front with his
cheap and novel way of illuminating
the waves. Tesla has not destroyed
any fleets with an electric bolt. The
dynamite guns have not yet been fred.
Mirex is still untried. The submarine
boat is peaceful. That wonderful new
monitor built ON the plan invented by
a retired admiral has not left harbor.
The ballet-preef cloth isn't made. Et-
cetera

BattleShips and Cruisers.

The difference between battleship
and an armored cruiser is technical,
and experts have stumbled over the
matter. A battlesffp is supposed to
have heavier guns and armor, and to
be better fitted to withstand hard
knocks from an opposing force. But
this does not always hold good, as
may be seen in the case of the Maine.
as compared with the Brooklyn. The
Maine was battleship, but she was
not SO large nor so heavily armored as
the armored cruiser Brooklyn. On one
point there seems to be no dispute,
and that is the fact that the cruisers
are faster than the battleships, and it
is conceded also that in most instances
the battleships are better protected.
Auxiliary cruisers are vessels which
were built for the merchant service,
but with view to being armed in case
of need. When the vessels were built
the government had an understanding
with the constructors and owners by
which provisions for arming were
made. A similar agreement exists
between the English government and
the owners of the large ocean liners
which sail under her flag. The cruis-
ers st. Paul, st. Louis, New York and
Paris would not be recognized by the
people who travelled across the ocean
on them when they were luxuriously
appointed passenger boats. Superhu-
Gus furniture has been removed, and
the vessels in their war paint look as
though they had been built for war
purposes.

SOME of the new piano features are
First A shifting keyboard, so ar
ranged that the piano can be lowered
or elevated in pitch to suit any voice.
Second-A duplex piano, having four
strings, representing a duet, an alto
and soprano tone, producing most
striking and beautiful effect. Third
the Eelectric piano, so arranged
that by merely pressing the button"
the instrument will play anything to
perfection, from the light, fantastic
two-step to the most intricate sonata
or concert solo. 1t can be manipulated
also in the regular way. This is the
very piano for public places, where it
will produce more music to the square
inch than any other piano in existence.
