{ CLoNlC CHUNKS OF MISCHIEF.

Great Cones of Hardened Steel Which
Contain Big Charges Of High Expio-
sives-some OF the Things Which Hap.
pen When One of Them Strikes.
In a recent bombardment of Santiago
there were three of the American battle.
ships which used Is inch rifles A IS
inch rife is q huge gun 40 feet long
Stood on end its muzzle would reach
above the ridgepole Of az story
house. Seven men Of ordinary height
could stretch out lengthwise along the
barrel. A small man could crawl into
the muzzle and slide clear down to the
breech. He would feel as II he were at
the bottom of tall chimney. The muz-
zle of this monster is Is inches in
diameter, from which fact it gets Its
name. 1t weighs over so tons.
The missile which IS inch gun
hurls toward the enemy Is quite formi-
dable. 1t is cone of hardened steel AZ
inches high and weighing, when loaded,
LOO pounds. A man of ordinary height
can just about put his outstretched arm
over the top Of one of these shells.
This steel cone is not solid, but hol-
low. Inside Is hole big enough TO pack
away big charge of gunpowder or a
much lighter but immensely more active
charge of dynamite or gun cotton. The
solid shot has been practically discard
ed, as it has been found that the explo.
sive shell has equal armor piercing quail
tiles besides being infinitely more de-
structive
When one Of these great projectiles
is fired, the voice of the giant gun rises
high above the brawl of battle. At San.
tiago every sailor on the feet knew
when the l9 inch guns were speaking.
The reports were something beyond de-
scription Scientists tell us that the
noise is due to the rush Of air into the
muzzle as the emerging projectile comes
out and leaves behind a vacuum. Any.
way it is tremendous disturbance.
The first thing which happens when
the gun is fired is the explosion Of 800
pounds Of brown powder. You know
how even so small a quantity as half a
thimbleful acts when it is touched off
in a confined space Well, 500 pounds
act similarly, only more so.
But when that l,100 pound missile
explodes, what then? There are not a
few Spaniards in Cuban hospitals who
could give most interesting descriptions
of such incidents and many more de.
ceased who might have done so had they
lived But we have some recent long
range descriptions which will answer
the purpose. When Santiago's Moro
was being changed from formidable
looking fort to a picturesque ruin the
men on the newspaper dispatch boats
were near enough to see plainly the big
shells from the feet as they hit the
solid walls of the Notifications
Where the shells struck great masses
of masonry were lifted high in the all
and reduced to powder. Guns and men
could sometimes be distinguished amid
the flying debris. Shells which missed
the Notifications tore up great trees by
the roots and hurled them skyward
