About.

Perils That Outsiders Knew Little
About.
An officer of the United States navy
relates the following as illustrating
some of the perils of gunnery at sea:
Il came very near going up into7the
air in small bits on this last squadron
cruise. We were at heavy gun practice
at sea, and but for the quickness of a
gunner's mate would have never re-
turned. AS you probably know, the
heavy guns in the turrets are fired by
electricity, the gun being discharged
simply by pressing a button. The Off
Ger in command of the forward turret
on our ship during rapid-frc practice
was just about to press the button to
fire one of our big guns when a gum
ner's mate was seen to grab at some
thing on the wall of the turret and then
fall in a heap on the floor. The officer
pressed the button, but the gun was not
discharged:' When the mate came to he
was asked what had happened, and he
Informed the officer that the breech of
the gun had not been locked, and that
what he grabbed at on the wall was the
wires forming the electric firing cir
cult. When. he saw that the officer was
preparing to fire the gun, and at the
same time observed that the breech of
the gun was not locked, the only thing
that occurred to him to prevent the gun
q being 6schar ged was to destroy the cir
cult, which he did promptly and effect
lively. When all this occurred there was
J q charge of $50 pounds Of powder in the
gun, another charge Of the same size in
the turret, ready to be served. and the
1assageway leading to the powder mag
azine was wide open. But for the quick
Eess of the gunner's mate the gun would
have been blown out inside the turret,
the gases from the burning powder
would probably have ignited the charge
lying in the, turret, this explosion would
have ignited the powder in the maya
zine, and the chances are that,the whole
ship, crew and all, would have gone up
4 in the mir. a thought that has occurred
4 to me is this: Suppose the accident had
occurred, what do you imagine the YER
dict Of a board Of inquiry as. to the cause
Of the loss Of the ship would have been ?
Since his experience thedepartment has
adopted electrical means to prevent the
discharge Of any Of the large guns until
the breech is LOCKED. - San Francisco
Chronicle.

Ancient Land SURVEYING.

Prof. Eisenlohr has lately examined
the plan Of a survey Of land, made some
5000 years before Christ, and discoy-

on q clay tablet, on the other side
of which was a calcula ton Of the area
of the land. Eisenlohr finds not only
that the computation was correct, but
that the methods used strikingly re-
sembled those of modern surveyors, in
