In the fields OF executive work and ma
val science that Capt Sampson made
his mark. Ordnance matters have been
his study for many years. and his thor
ough knowledge OF modern armor and
armament and the use and comparative
value Of explosives has come from hard
study and constant effort. Torpedo
work was his especial study about the
time Of the Inauguration OF the naval
war college at Newport, where he de-
liyered lectures on the subject. As in
spector Of ordnance at the Washing
ton navy yard for three years. he was
able to assist In the installment Of the
present magnificent gun factory and
to continue his acquaintance with big
marine rifles. From 1898 10 1897 he
was chief Of the bureau OF naval ord

with Lieutenant Joseph Strauss. de-
ylsed and perfected the superposed or
