mn& laureate Austin Says They Are Conn
Elementary sGnd Not Rivals.
II is SO commonly assumed that
pOstry and science are antagonistic
that an address delivered by the
pOet laureate, Alfred Austin, at the
opening of a new school of science
and art, deserves wide publicity.
Macaulay, with his we'll known love
Of antithesis, once endeav ored to
show that as civilization advances
poetry almost necessarily declines,
and taking science as one of the
most important factors in the civil
LIKING process the Inference is that
n poet with a knowledge of scientific
FACTS labors under disadvantage.
Now, however, we are able to give
a poet laureate opinion that science
and art are complementary to one
another and not rivals. Science,
said Mr.. Austin, is exact knowledge
that and nothing more. But exact
knowledge is the foundation of all
the arts, and no man ever achieved
real greatness in any of them who
did not have the firmest grasp OF
the permanent facts which underlie
them. Music, the most intangible
and fantastic of the arts, cannot
move one step or excite a single
emotion without submitting to the
severe discipline of numbers Final

lions than by what are called scien

axhihits sympathetic kinship with

from being hostile to the artistic
spirit, is ancillary to it, for, as Dry

science. - The noblest manifesto

In this-the old one was cast and the
modern one is built. The old gun was a
single piece Of metal. The modern gun
is a mechanism. It maykbe taken apart.
The old one was simple and the new one
is complex. A steel tube, forged, 4I9
inches long, with wallsb inches thick
at one end, weighing 10 tons, is the
basis of a IL inch modern gun. With
this as q core there are put around it II
other cylinders of steel. The adjust
ments are perfect, within a thousandth
of an inch.
When this tube reaches the factory,
the car which brings 1t is run within
the building, and the first of the big
machines which are to handle it during
its different stages lifts it off and drops
it beside other tubes on the floor of the
building. This operation is performed
rs easily and gently by the travelling
cranes as a man might handle a three
foot section of one inch lead pipe.
There are three of these cranes at Wa
tervliet-two Of so tons each and one OF
1870 tons. They are simply great bridges
which span the buildings width and
run it's length on trucks not unlike car
trucks on elevated t~restles, one each side
of the factory. The larger u works by
electricity.
One of the chief objects in building
up a gun rather than casting it is that
it may have a greater strength than an
equal amount of cast or forged steel Of
the same proportions. Another advan-
tage is that by making a gun in thin
layers the quality Of the metal may be
known all the way through-a thing
impossible ip thick castings.
When the tube has been measured, 1t
is lifted by one Of the big crane to a
lathe of monster proportions, and it Is
trough bored. " as it Is called. This
process requires several days, and when
completed the crane again comes and
lifts it to another lathe, where the
shrinkage surface for the jacket is turn
ed. 1t is then a bright, smooth shining
cylinder. The jacket Is simply a steel
cylinder large enough when expanded
by heat to go over the tube. It covers
the tube for a little more than one-third
it's length from the breech.
When the tube and the jacket are
ready, the most interesting, the most
delicate and the most significant of all
the processes comes next. This is the
operation of shrinking" The coat is
to be heated until it is large enough to
go on over the tube. and then, cooling.
the tough band of steel is to contract
with such irresistible force that the
mighty steel cylinder will be compressed
until it's bore shrinks under the enor-
nous pressure.
In the center of the factory is the
shrinkage pit. 1t is an excavation 90
feet deep, with an exterior opening 40
feet long and 90 feet wide. When they
began to ~excavate it at the Watervliet
factory, it was found that solid rock
lay underneath the building to more
than that depth. The pit is therefore
nothing but an excavation into solid

Commodore McNair Studied the Art Of
War Amid Flying Shells.
Commodore Frederick Y. McNair,
who is expected to take charge OF the
north Atlantic squadron, is no theorist
in naval warfare. He is a fighter. His
bravery has won him not only expe-
rience, but honor and distinction. He
was born in Pennsylvania. He entered
the Naval academy at Annapolis in
1853 and was made a midshipman in
1850. He served in the China squadron
and was ordered home when the war
broke out.
He was a midshipman under Farra-
gut. He was with Farragut at New
Orleans. He was made a lieutenant for
bravery In 1901. He ran the gantlet at
Yicksburg and was made a lieutenant
commander for meritorious services.
His-activity, his courage, his resources,
distinguished him in that dangerous
| Mississippi work. He took part in the
assault on Fort Fisher and again Won
fresh honors-
He had four years of constant fight
ing. He studied the art of war amid
flying shells and solid shot. When the
war closed, Lieutenant Commander Mo

when with q mighty roar, a tremendous
belching of flame ard smoke they hurl
their gigantic missiles across miles OF
sea to seek out and sink the audacious
invader.
Uncle Sam has two big shops where
he turns out peace c~ompeElers. One OF
these is near Washington, where the
big guns for the navy are made. The
other is at Waite r~vliet, N. Y, where
are made the m ammoth rifles, siege
guns, mortars anil other pieces Of heavy
ordnance. 1t is at the latter that the
biggest gun in the world, destined for
the defenses of New York harbor, Is
now In course Of construction. There Is
another arsenal at Watertown Mass,
near Cambridge, and there the new dis
appearing gun carriages and heavy pro-
jectiles are mad %.
The post OIL Watervliet was estab-
lished in 1907, and the reservation en-
braces d tract. of AZ acres. 1t was then
called Gibi,onsyille. This unpoetic
name was charged to Watervliet in 1917.

After notifying the insurgents and

American vessels which might wish to

the war vessels of the United States got

ARSENAL AT wATERvLIET.

After the last hoop has been put on
it goes to the boring lathe, after which
the breeoh thread is cut and the breeoh
screwed on. There Is but one step OF es-
sential importance yet necessary-it
must be made a ri1ed gun. Its inside
must be grooved with a spiral groove,
which will set the shot whirling when
the time comes for it to speed on Its de-
structive errand. Again the gun is put
into a lathe. Three days are needed to
rifle it. The muzzle end is finished and It's
sharp edges are smoothed and polished.
The breech plate is finished and sights are
put on. The gun is weighed and marked.
It's logbook is packed away for reference.
and some fine day the gun will be taken
to Sandy Hook to be tested. 1t has prob
ably been eight or ten months since The
tube was taken from the car which
brought it, a steel forging, from Penn
sylvania.
Six weeks is practically the minimum
of time for the making of a modern
gun. and to finish one within that space
everything would have to go marvel

| steel would have to be q success at the
very first attempt-something that does
not often happen-and the first tests
would have to show that the govern
ment standard had been reached. or

only be obtained through much trying
