Really Zig Guns.

IL is difficult for the uninitinted
reader to comprehend the dimensions
OF the heavy artillery which have,
during the last few years. been made
for the heavy ironclads and for coast
defense. Tho European navics have
n number of guns that in force and
effectiveness far excel anything on
our own ships. The largest guns in
the United States navy are known us
li-inch guns, this figure representing
the diameter OF the bore; the weight
of these guns is 60.5 tons. $50 pounds
OF powder are required for each
charge. The weight Of the shot is
l,lO0 pounds, the total length OF the
gun from brecch To muzzlc. is 40 feet.
and the shot will penetrate 3I.Ginches
u solid iron. The coast Notifications
are provided with even heavier guns,
there being several l6 inch. requiring
LOGO pounds OF powder TO throw u
shot weighing 1910 pounds, the
length Of the gun being 1916 feet. Tho
governments OF Great Britain and
Italy have Finch guns varying from
l0l5 to 1885 tons in weight. For
these enormous pieces OF ordnance
about 1000 pounds OF powder are
required for each discharge; the
shot weighs n ton or more, and will
penctratc mn iron plate 80 inches in
