I gun without any covering whatever, and
thrown with a propelling charge Of gun
powder at a high velocity against a steel
target to be smashed up upon the target
without defamation. In some of the ex-
periments with the Gathmann shell, when
the fuse did not act. a projectile carrying
several hundred pounds OF wet, compress
ed gun-cotton has been thrown against
armor plate and the gun-cotton not ex-
ploded.
1T becomes necessary, therefore. that
| high explosive projectile shall carry
large decorative charge, that is to say,
suficiane quantity of illuminate Of ner-
curry and dry gun-cotton to detonate the
main charge OF the shell at the desired
time. This decorator or fuse IS the heart
of the problem.
The Gathmann fuse is so constructed
that the detonator Is positioned a con-
siderable distance at the rear Of the main
charge Of the shell. and the fuse is pro
vided with a steel barrier In advance Of
the decorator, which is only displaced by
the act of throwing the shell from the
gun, so that the main charge Of the shell
IS protected from the decorator both by
the distance intervening between the de-
tonator and the main charge and by
steel barrier. II Is, therefore, impos-
sible 10 explode the main charge OF the
shell by an accidental or premature ex-
ploslon OF the decorator. The detonator
has several times exploded in the gun
without the least disturbance Of the main
/ charge
Furthermore, the Gathmann people
have fred a six-pound shell a 2o00 feet
per second velocity, exactly through their
fuse. and thence through the main
charge Of their shell in a longitudinal d.
rection without exploding particle OF the
main charge. This proectile was rscov-
cred afterwards and It's point was found

decorator, and was, therefore. incandes-

nearly filed to the level of the earth by
the return OF the earth and timber. pieces
OF the gun, however. were scattered all
about. and in all directions were to be
found quantities of unexploded gun-cotton
which had been blown out by the explo-
sion, evidencing beyond question that Ehe
gun-eotton had not been decorated. and
that, AT most, only a portion Of It mad
been consumed or burned by the mean
descent guEpoWder gases. So intense was
this heat that portions OF the fuse-box
Were found which had been partially
melted.
we therefore know. II We know any
thing, that there IS no danger OF detona-
ton OF wet compressed gun-cotton under
service conditions.
There IS one thing which must De
borne in mind. however. in the projec-
ton OF even wet gun-cotton from ordnance
in large quantities, and that IS the DAM
ger il ignition o. the charge when too dry
by the intense heat generated by the rota-N
ton OF the steel shell about the contained
charge in its fight from the gun before
the inertia Of the explosive charge is over
come. and the charge caused TO partici-
pate fully in the rotation Of the shell.
This danger. however, is readily overcome
by saturating the wet gun-cotton with ali
the water which II VIII take up before
oading. This means that thecharge will
contain about 81 per cent. OF water. This
quantity OF water o5viates any possibility
OF danger from the above cause. II Will
perhaps, be well TO mention here the fact
that from 10 TO % per cent OF water in
gun-cotton does not detract from its ex-
plosive value. but, on the contrary. st
adds to 1t. In other words Il dry gun
cotton be moistened. the added water viii
increase the violence OF its action. There
fore. with 30 per cent OF water. not more
than N per cent, or one-third OF the wa
ter. s-ves 10 detract from the explosive
value.
1T would Be unfair for me Il I did not
add that the Gathmann shell accompHshes
nothing which the shell and fuse proposed
by me viii not accomplish. I was the
first to patent fuse Wit hthe detonator
POSTPONED so far in the rear OF the chraGe
OF the shell as 70 preclude possibility OF
danger TO the main charge by the prema-
ture explosion Of the det0nator was
also the first 10 reinforce the shell strongly
with metal between the decorator and the
main charge TO prefent the detonator
when exploded in normal position strik-
ing a sufficient blow upon the main
charge to endanger L. This Is shown IN
my United States Patents. Nos $40 072
and $40 I have nothing but praise for
the good work which has been accom-
pIished by the Gathmann people. What
they have done TO advance high explosive
warfare and 10 bring about a revolution

PRISONS.

The legislative committee on prisons
gave a hearing today on the bill accom-
panying the petition of Bishop William
Lawrence and others for the mainte-
nance of jails and houses Of correction
by the commonwealth, instead of coun-
ties. as at present
Moorfield Storey, representing the
petitioners, was the first to address
the committee. He told of the recon-
mendations of the special prison COM
mission and OF. Gov Wolcott in behalf
of state control Of prisons. The rea-
sons. in brief, are said Mr.. Storey that
the present prison system is wrong for
the hardened offender should be sep
arated from the young law breaker
There should be one head for all the
jails in the state. Our places of con-
finement should not be criminal fac
tories.
Mayor Josiah Quincy of Boston said
that the position of Suffolk was diff
ferent from that of other counties, be-
cause there are so many institutions.
I believe, he said, that the principles
involved in the bill are sound and
worthy of adoption. This measure is
called for and would result in more
economical, efficient and scientific man
agement.
Bishop William Lawrence said that
the bill commended itself to him from
a business point of view About So
900 900 is now spent on these institu-
lions, Prisons can be run more eco
nomically by the state if it controls

THE HOUSE,

The committee on charities in the
House reported a bill appropriating
s21 900 for construction of new building
for work shop, etc, at the Lyman
school for boys; by the same commit
tee a bill appropriating $4,000 for a
new cottage at the industrial school for
girls; the public service committee, a
bill authorizing the treasurer of Bris-
tol county to hire additional clerks.
Mr.. Balcom of Marlboro made brief
statement to the House upon the sub
iect of the labor trouble in his city,
and asked that body to adopt his or
der for an investigation of the strike
by the legislative committee on labor.
The House adopted the order unani-
mously.
When the House reached the adverse
report of the probate and insolvency
committee on the bill to abolish the
habitual criminal act, Mr.. Tolman of
Pittsfeld asked why the committee re-
ported this when nobody appeared be-
fore them favoring or opposing it. The
House accepted the adverse report.

However, nothing of special moment

On the representation of Mr.. Bacon
of Marlboro, the House adopted his

in his city, by the legislative commit
tee on labor.
Among the more important hearings
was that of the bill accompanying the

FUNERAL OF FRANCIS STEVEN
SON.


Funeral services of Francis Steven
son were held at his late home. 301
Cambridge street, at 1890 yesterday
AFTERNOON, conducted by Rev. E. w.
Phillips of Hope Church. The remains
were carried to Clinton on the sos
train and buried in the family lot in
Woodlawn cemetery with prayers at
the grave by Rev. DIR. C. M. Bowers.
The deceased was born in Bannock-
burn. Scotland, March II, 1928: he came
to this country and to Clinton in 1856,
where he commenced work with his
brother in the carpet mill dye house
ana where he resided until some seven
years since, when he removed to West
brook, Me-, to live with his oldest son,
Alexander. After this sons death he
came back, in October, 1895, to Massa-
chusetts and with his wife made his
home in Worcester with a daughter
In Scotland Mr.. Stevenson was a
member of the Presbyterian Church,
and on coming to this country he and
his wife presented letters to the
Congregational Church, in Gin
ton, Of which both were mem
bers at the time of their decease. For
many years he was an active repub-
lican in his politics, but about the time
of the Greeley campaign" swung off
into the democratic party with which
he has since acted.
