A Moderate Pressure,

This is regarded very moderate pres
sure, 5000 pounds per square inch being
the standard. The firing party employed
the customary formula to ascertain the in
crease in charge required to run the pres
sure to the limit. Six pounds was thus
found to be required.
A charge of 141 pounds was therefore
showed in after the projectile had been
rammed home, the breech was closed and
the block securely locked, all retired to
positions of supposed safety and the gun
was fired by electricity. The result was
deafening roar not louder than usual
says an eye witness. But a man had lost
his life and the government was out $5O,-
COO. This is attributed to the addition of
six pounds of powder or an increase of
less than per cent in the charge.
The gun itself is as complete wreck
as If a charge of dynamite had been ex-
ploded In it The registering gauge indi-
Gated a pressure of 5000 pounds per square
inch, but 1t estimated to have been more
than that-how much more no one can say
Tor in Its construction the gauge was limit
ed to this record of pressure.
There can be no doubt 1t is claimed that
the bursting OFT this gun was the fault of
the powder. Any piece of ordnance de-
signed to Withstand such pressures would
be a very heavy affair and entirely out of
the question. The gun showed itself to be
a well constructed piece of mechanism.

Force of the Explosion.

When the 10-inch gun burst the block
used for closing the breech was blown to
the rear with such terrific force that 1t
passed completely through the bombproof
provided for shelter, and which was direct
ly in rear of the gun. This bombproof was
a surface structure, consisting of planking
In two rows ten feet apart, filed between
with sand. The flying breech block passed
through all this, made three bounds across
a 300-foot open space and went through the
open door of the machine shop, winding up
by knocking down a partition which sepa-
rated the Office of the foreman from the
main shop. Curiously enough this same
spot was the scene of another visitation
from flying debris from the bursting of the
other gun referred to. The most unfortu-
nate part of the whole business, the killing
and wounding, occurred behind the bomb
proof. The man killed was frightfully
mangled; the two who were hurt were
struck by flying bits of shattered timber.
They were not seriously injured. The gun
was of the best type of construction known
and but few instances of the bursting of
such guns are on record here or abroad. A
10-inch gun and mount cost in the neigh
borhood of $4,000.
The conditions under which this gun burst
are described as peculiar. A charge of 1S5
pounds of Du Points smokeless powder was
fired and the resulting pressure. recorded
by very ingenious little gauges, which
register the pressure, was found to be 3d.
900 pounds per square inch.
