that the Gathmann shell has revolutioniZed
the high explosive business for the use of
army and navy guns" to which he re-
piled: Il do"
That is, 1t has upset all previous the
cries and that the results show that 1t
is not only safe, but is the most efficient
and destructive shell for artillery that Is
known" asked Senator Hanna
las l know anything about it, that is the
case was the reply. and the constructor
added that he considered the fuse entirely
safe for use either on land or deck in the
firing of high explosives.
AS an evidence that present batteries are
not adequate. 1t is shown that in the naval
battle at Yalu two Chinese battle ships re-
ceived over 200 hits from projectiles of
various caliber and still were not disabled
Had one side been equipped with aerial
torpedo guns OF the capacity suitable for
the ships. such an engagement might not
have lasted hours through the complete
destruction OF the hostile fleet.
Modern Ordnance.
In a recent article in the Army and Navy
Journal. Mr.. Gathmann made the following
interesting comments on modern ordnance:
considerable comments have been made
in regard to the experiment in England in
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-07-28

wet gun cotton There is absolutely no
difficulty at all in firing wet gun cotton. y
he said. 1T is just as inert as firing wet
sand. But the difficulty has been in firing
a primer of dry gun cotton, which is abso-
lutely necessary to the explosion of the wet
gun cotton. In all the experiments that 1
have seen since 1888 nearly every time that
fuse or primer of dry gun cotton has been
fired there has been an accident. l have
never heard of any accident with the latest
device of Mr. Gathmann, and ! think it in
genious, efficient and thoroughly safe"
In answer to a question of Senator Per
kins as to the advantage of gun cotton
over the ordinary shell now used. he said:
LAS an example of what a twelve-inch
shell will do we have the Spanish cruiser
Maria Theresa. She was struck by two
twelve-inch shells. They exploded in her.
Therefore. they had their maximum effect
That ship was not so injured but that she
could be raised and started for home. Had
a twelve-inch Gathmann shell exploded 1
think 1t would have carried off her entire
stern and everything aft the point of i'm
pact. There would have been nothing left
of that ship to float
Senator Hanna then put the direct ques-
ton to Mr.. Dashiell do you consider
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1900-07-28

the route the necessary damage should be
inflicted. Mr.. Gathmann has spent the
greater part of twelve years in evolving his
system for throwing high explosive shells,
with the declared result that the proper
construction of shell has been attained and
the fuse has been made absolutely safe and
efficient.
These gun-cotton shells, 1t is said, can be
carried with perfect safety as far as an
ordinary shot and detonated upon striking
the object aimed at the quantity of expIo-
sive and the destructive power being linn
tied only by the capacity of the gun. 1t is
confidently claimed that the eiEhteen-inch
gun made by the government for the test
will throw a shell containing 600 pounds of
gun cotton a velocity of 1000 feet per
second. giving a range of ten miles, with
all the accuracy of the most approved ar
tillery. The ordinary torpedo carries nearly
200 pounds of wet gun cotton, but its eff
fective range is less than half mile from
the starting point. A Gathmann shell car
ries It's real potency In the explosive charge
and is, therefore. effective on impact. Thus
its destructive distance is limited only by
the ability to hit. and is much greater than
that of solid shot. 1t is claimed by the
inventor that he can fire any quantity OF

and the chief of engineers of the army. 1t
Is charged with the important function of
providing the sea coasts of the country
with the most effective defensive arma-
ment of modern times. and 10 secure that
result is constantly experimenting with the
latest approved inventions.
If the Gathmann gun will do half what
its advocates claim for it, the ingenuity of
man will be severely taxed to invent some
system of defense that can successfully re-
sist ii. 1t promises to revolutioniZe modern
military methods and to render war
even more terrible than it is Simply
stated the province of the gun is to throw
high explosive shells with accuracy and
safety at a given object and destroy it by
impact. The explosive agent employed is
wet gun cotton, one of the most effective
engines of destruction known to science
and heretofore regarded as too dangerous
for the proposed use. The inventors task
was to provide a shell so constructed that
il would carry a sufficiently large quantity
of explosive, be strong enough to Withstand
the shock of firing and have the requisites
of accurate flight and high velocity. Then
he had to construct fuse so arranged that
if the illuminate should go off in the gun
no harm would result while at the end of

He said that It was incumbent on the grand

The school building was erected a few
years ago by the city and was devoted ex-
clusively to the education of colored chill
dren. No negroes were found in the school.

1t was philosophy Of a quaint kind that
led William Cantlin to surrender himself
to the police of Cincinnati for burglary
committed in Poughkeepsie n. Y, nearly a
year ago. CantHn. who is a typical tramp,
arrived there last night in charge of an Of
ficer. He said:
Il had been drinking hard out there in
Ohio. and was on the verge Of delirium tre-
mems. 1 knew 1 was In danger of being
sent to an insane asylum and l realized
that il that ever happened TO me. having
no friends, 1t would be virtually life i'm
prisonment. l thought 1t would be better
to take a year or two in Sing Sing than to
end my days in an asylum. So 1 went to
the police and told them about the burglary
in Poughkeepsie."
Cantlin was greatly disappointed to find
that the process of sending him to Sing
Sing would require two months. and that
he would have to remain in Jail in the
meantime.
