With the incorporation of the Meth
eroy into the United States navy, that
branch of the service will have two
ships that are unlike those Of any
other navy in the world-destroyers on
a huge plan. These two ships-the We
suvius and the Nictheroy-are throw
ers of dynamite The explosives which
they throw do not depend, as do those
thrown from the torpedo tubes of or
binary warships or the missile sent
from a torpedo boat, on any mechanl-
cal contrivance inside of the missile.
They travel through the air, and their
propulsive force comes from COM
pressed air, which is stored in tube
that is more like a gun than tube.
The shots have ranges far superior to
those of the torpedo and accuracy
which is almost perfect.
The one question is whether large
ships like these can get near enough
to an enemy to reach him with their
shot. They are not like torpedo boats

so that it can be trained either to port
or starboard. The air reservoirs of
the gun are in the lower hold, on the
starboard side, directly under the
gun, and a central air pipe leads up
through the foundations on which the
carriage of the gun rests. Shields
protect the weapon and the men who
serve it.
On the way to Brazil the crew prac-
ticed with it, using dummy pro1ec-
tiles, and it's accuracy was found re-
markable. The gun was so new, how
ever, that the men were almost as
much afraid of it as the enemy was
expected to be, and there was consid-
cradle relief on board when it was
found on arrival in Brazil that there
would be no need for firing it with
real dynamite, as the revolution was
over. Since then the successful In
stallation of two batteries of these
guns in United States forts has made
artillerists more confident, and much
