The Cost Of Firing Modern Guns.
The development Of the science Of
ordnance has greatly increased the ex-
pense of firing guns. Millions Of dol
lars worth of shells and powder were
expended in the late war. It has been
calculated that any nation which kept
all its guns in action for twenty-four
hours would thereby be reduced to
bankruptcy. This is not only on ac-
count of the expense of individual
shots, but because of the great rapidity
with which successive shots can be dis
charged.
