De Gourges' force was too small to
venture to attack st. Augustine, which
Melendez had made the spanish
stronghold. Ii remained for Sir Fran
els Drake to fly the flag of a hostile
nation from its walls. and Ia lead the
first hostile force through its gates.
This was In 1885,. when he was home
ward bound from one of his expeditions
on the Spanish main. With the set
tlement OF South Carolina an active
warfare sprang up etwee the span,
iards and their English neighbors. and
i'm 1865 a captain. John Davis. made a
descent upon ST Augustine and sacked
the city. The Spaniards responded in
kind by destroying the settlements
along n Ashley river. This was fol-
low ed by a long period of Indian wars
on the border. inspired by the spanish
on one side and the English on the
other, and from which both provinces
suffered about equally.
Governor Moore finally induced the

nection with most of the experiments
that have been made i'm America with
guns for throwing explosives. He was
the first representative of the Norden-
felt company, that manufactures Max
guns. This wonderful smokeless
powder of his has solved the question
of firing high explosives. 1t is the
powder that is used in propelling the
aerial torpedo. This powder is a COM
pound of gun cotton and a small pro-
portion of nitro-glycerine. Contrary to
wha we might expect, it doesn't ex-
plode from concussion, and indeed IT
does not explode at all, and this Is Its
specially effective quality. 1t burns.
There is a decided difference between
powders that burn, liberating expan-
sivc gases gradually, and those that
explode and discharge their gases at
once. The non-explosive powder ex-
erts a more even pressure on the pro-
%jectile, and consequently 1t can be used
in firing a projectile containing a more
highly explosive compound. This
Observation-Disclosures powder Is made in
bars from one to two inches in dame
ter, that look like hard, brown rubber.
1t is perforated along the length to aid
in the combustion. The bars are brok-
en- UP into bits about an inc or so long.
and placed in a canvas bag and
rammed into the gun like ordinary
powder.
The gun for firing the aerial torpedo
Is similar to the ordinary rifled gun, ex-
cept that 1t is of greater diameter, in
order to take the aerial torpedo. This
torpedo consists of a steel shell from
five to ten feet long, according to the
charge to be carried. The diameter Is
twice as great as that of other guns,
being from Is to q inches. The charge
consists preferably of gun cotton, which
may be fired by his powder with per-
fecr safety. 1t is exploded by means of
a fuse after the of ordinary
shells. The 24-inch Maxim aerial tor
pedo may be thrown a distance of min
miles. 1t contains half a ton of COM
pressed, wet gun cotton. capable OF de-
stroying a battleship within an area of
Al, 900 square feet from the point of ex-
plosion. A gun to throw this torpedo
would weigh 46 tons. This is less than
the weight of many heavy guns of the
present type. An English firm is pre-
pared to build one for $1,000, and Mr..
Maxim has offered to provide a gun
that will throw 1000 pounds Of gun
cotton nine miles and erect il anywhere
in the country and supply it with
any number of torpedoes. provided the
government will agree to purchase II
II IT fulflls all of the conditions.
This gun will do away with armored
ships as effectually as ~gunpowder did
away with the armor formerly worn by
soldiers.
