Six hundred pounds Of guncotton
bursting Upon or even alongside of a
warship would almost inevitably put
it out of action. But guns and gun
gun may miss or not fire true, or the
charge fail to explode. Here comes
another provision. Dependence is not
placed upon one gun alone-there are
to be many such in position in every
harbor. The anne contact which no.
titles the crew of one gun of the pres
ence and location of an enemy can as
easily notify several or a hundred.
There may be a rain of shells upon
the ship, but one striking and ex-
ploding will be sufficient.
Taking Fort Delaware, for illustra-
ton, standing at the head of the bay
and at the entrance of the river, an
area of twelve miles in radius would
be dominated by such a gun placed
there. That is to say, that for a dis
lance of twelve miles in it's steaming
course an enemy's ships would be con-
stantly subject to bombardment by
high explosive shells. If at extreme
range the shells were to miss the tar
| get every foot the ship advanced near
er the fort would make it's danger
greater. It's chances of safety would
hO chill nnnr if hu apU OOnanC II 0nt1a1-
ly did pass the forts. For another
twelve miles it would continue to be
in danger-and all this upon the sup
position that but inc such gun were
mounted to Cypress it. There might
be many guns hidden along the shore
or placed upon islands, every M OF
which would infinitely aggravate the
danger to a hostile ship.
Only once before in the history OF
American ornaments has there been
an attempt to build eighteen-inch
guns. More exactly such guns were
built, but were found unserviceable
The former guns were cast solid, after
the old fashion of making such wea-
pons and then bored out. The great
weight of metal at the muzZle caused
the guns to sag and lose their shape
For year there was a tendency to di'
minish the size of the bore. This
tendency was, moreover, facilitated by
the adoption of the rifing system
which vastly increased the effective
ness and range of artillery OF every
sort. Then came the principle O
building up" guns, making tubs

my's shots. But in practice they are
rarely hit, when mounted in fortifica-
tions and properly masked. Moreover
the effectiveness of a gun mounted in
a fixed position is generally calculated
at six times that of one on a moving
platform, such as the deck of a bat
tleship. When target and gun are
both in motion the chances of an eff
fective shot rapidly administration
only the target is in motion the
chances of a shot striking home are
at once multiplied. With a gun firing
a charge of %guncotton, the element of
accuracy is vastly increased by reason
of the fact that no penetration is
needed-the projectile doing its work
by the explosion of it's charge. A low
speed, just about sufficient to reach
the target, is best.
Guns firing projectiles charged with
high explosives are by no means new
ideas, but heretofore their propelling
force has been compressed air and
their radius Of action very small. The
most familiar type is that of the We
suvius, which was in action at San
tiago, and "coughed" great quantities

of dynamite over the shore. under
cover of night. The noise of its ex-
plosions was terrifying, but it is not
recorded that any damage was done.
Then long before there was the Ia
linski gun. the invention of an Amer
lean army officer, which finally was
placed in position in one of the forts
of New York Bay. There were great
air compressors on each side of it. and
the gun itself was long, clumsy and
unwieldly. But as the pioneer of a
type it is entitled to remembrance.
With the addition of Gathmann guns
the d~efenses Of American harbors will
take a long stride toward impregna-
bility. Most American seaports are
already we'll protected, the Delaware
being particularly provided with pro-
lection in the shape of three ten-inch-
guns, mounted on disappearing car
riages at Fort Delaware. Unfortunate
ly the artillerymen are mostly absent
from the country on duty as soldiers
in the Philippines, Cuba and now in
China. Many of the siege guns have
likewise been taken abroad. Thus the
men, instead of learning how to man
and work the ten-inch rifles. as they
The Dupuyer acantha. [volume] (Dupuyer, Mont.) 1894-1904, 1900-12-13

marks a new departure. 1t is in the
fact that it will fire shells loaded with
guncotton-each shell to contain 600
pounds of that dreaded substance. Six
hundred pounds of %guncotton burst
ing aboard any ship of war means
practically the destruction of that
ship. For twelve miles in any direc-
ton from the gun nc enemy will be
safe from the possibility of receiving
such a charge.
This gun stands today the first to
use powder of the ordinary service
sort, brown or smokeless, to fire a
shell filed with an explosive of higher
grade than the powder itself and of
far greater sensitiveness to detona-
ton. That it will do this is practical
ly certain. Guncotton, though not so
sensitive as dynamite, is by no. means
an article to be- toyed with. To pre-
vent explosion it is commonly kept
saturated with. water. And in a sat-
urated condition it will be loaded into
the shell and fired.
Alongside of the saturated guncot-
ton there is a small charge of dry
guncotton, and leading to this is a
fuse with a illuminate cap, striking a
blow On explosion equal to fifty
pounds. This blow detonates the dry
g~uncotton, and the dry guncotton de-
tonates the wet.
Twelve miles is a long distance.
Further than the human eye can
reach, except at very lofty attitudes.
Further than any gunner, unless arti-
ficially aided, can train a gun or OBJ
serve a target. Further than the
sound of a very heavy explosion will
carry, unless in a muffled roar. Yet
it is proposed to make the Gathmann
gun effective at twelve miles, or very
near that distance, by aiding human
vision by artificial means.
Indeed war has made a revolution
of 1898 when hostilities with Spain
were imminent, coast defense was an
almost neglected quantity. True, the
army held it in mind. and as far as
niggardly appropriations would per-
nit, prepared for it. When it became
necessary to place mines in the coun-
try's harbors and to restrict naviga-
ton there was a great outcry and talk
Of defiance-but war made these pre-
cautions necessary. Since then there
have been many new methods sug-
ge$ted, devised, tested and adopted.
OF these the Gathmann gun is the
latest. 1t will fire charges Of guncot-

At a recent meeting of the Royal
Society of Canada, Sir James Grant,
M. D., presented a paper on the neu-
rons and cells of the brain in their
relation to the faculty of memory, and
after stating that, as with the other
tissues of the body SO with the cells
of the brain, evidence of ~lessening
power and activity appears with the
passage of years. he added the very
interesting statement that the line of
present investigation demonstrates
that the electrical current through the
brain rotates its molecules to such a
degree as to produce a most noticeable
physiological response in the direc-
ton of improved memory.

With the actual introduction of the
Gathmann gun into coast defense will
come a new era in harbor defenses in
this country. The gun underwent a
preliminary test at South Bethlehem
last week and proved satisfactorily
that it possessed the stability and
power needed for the work it is to
perform. In calibre it is the largest
weapon in use, having a bore of eight
cen inches. What this means can be
best illustrated by stating that the
heavy turret guns on Americas bat
tleships are mostly of ~twelve-inch
calibre, a few being thirteen-inchers.
Five inches in the bore of a gun is
a tremendous factor indeed.
But it is not in the bore or the size
of the gun that the Gathmann arm

will automatically fix its locality on

whether it be within the range of the
gunner's vision or not. The sighting
of the gun becomes a matter of angles
