until after Professor White had been killed Ralph
Hartman, the railroad messenger boy. who

that knight was Ivory's companion, though he can
not positively identify him. The detectives have

Six hundred pounds of guncotton
bursting upon or even alongside of
warship would almost inevitably put
it out of action. But guns and gun
ners are by no means infallible-the
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 same contact which no.
titles the crew of one gun of the pres
ence and location of an enemy can as
easily notify several or hundred.
There may be 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 10 say that for a dis
tance of twelve miles in its 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
or the fort would make its danger
greater. It's chances of safety would
be still poor If by any means it actual
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 one such gun were
mounted to oppress it. There might
be many guns hidden along the shore
or placed upon islands. every one OF
which would infinitely aggrayate the
danger to hostile ship. r.., ..s..,
Only once before in the history Of
American armaments has there been
an attempt to build eighteen-inch
guns. Moro exactly such guns were
built. but were found unseryiceable.
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 years there was 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 of
building up guns, making tube
jackets and rear of separate pieces

cover of night. The noise of its ex~
plosions was terrifying, but 1t 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 1t. and
the gun itself was long, clumsy and
unwieldly. But as the pioneer OF q
type it is entitled to remembrance.
With the addition OF Gathmann guns
the defenses of American harbors viii
take a long stride toward impregna-
bility. Most American seaports are
already well 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

and work the ten-inch rifles. as they

mys 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 moving
platform, such as the deck of bat
tleship. When target and gun are
both in motion the chances OF an eff
fective shot rapidly diminish-when
only the target is in motion the
chances of 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 it's work
by the explosion OF its 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
