VIII Throw Such q Shower OF Shot
That Nothing Could Stand It
New York July S--A new rapid fire
gun designed for the protection OF the
mine fields and a novel seuI-autOmatiC
siX-pounder for the navy has been sue

Of the Briggs-Seabur Gun and AmmU-
milton company. at Derby, Conn These
guns were built for the army and navy
respectively under contracts awarded aC
the beginning of the war with Spain and
will probably play an important part in
the plan and scope of national defense.
The gun IS q siX-pounder OF the Briggs
type and IS mounted upon a parap
carriage which admits OF the piece be
ing fred with the same rapidIty as upon
a naval mount. While It can be easily
transported from place to place, in fact
the new weapon IS q. combination Of q
field and coast defense gun It's use
will be principally to protect the tOrpe-
does in the harbors BY throwing such
an OWerW helnlug shower or shot and
skeu that no small boat could live with
IN It's zone OF IRE ne gun and car
rage rest upon the parapet Of the fort
and are held rigidly in position by means
OF V-Shaped steel anchorage which is

to work a revolution IN rapid fire guns
for with IL 8 speed Of sixty shots per
