THE LIFE OF mo oISs.
admiral O'NeiII says 100 shots L. Far
From BeinE the Limit.
E-ro,,, "a. fshtr..o R.r,ra

From the Chicago Record.
There have ben some interesting and
mysterious stories In circulation about tho
short lives OF the big guns that ere used
on cur baitleships and coast fortincations.
One Of the yarns most frequently told -
that che i3-inch gun. which carries a ton
Of metal for twelve OF fifteen miles. can
only be fired i0o times with safety. he
cause the tremendous pressure destroys
the cohesive power OF the metal and thus
weakens II and rendersh liable 10 explode.
Thse stories have got into books. and tbs
'ioo-nrinE faliacy'' IL accepted by some
Of the ables, authorities on ordnance. The
biz Krupp gun at the Worlds Fair IN
Chicago wis an object OF even greater
interest. when visitors were told THAI Il
had been fred sixteen times and couldn't
be fred again without danger Of explo-
sion because the metal Of which n Il
made had become "nervelesa."
Admiral O'Ncill chief Of ordnance 81 the
Navy Department says this n an hum
bug. The only damage suffered BY the
big guns from frequent nring Il che wear
ing out Of the rife grooves" he says. and
that Is easily repaired. The gun can either
that v. a rlfled tube can b. fitted into the
bore. as 4 frequently done IN England,
and she gun IL as good aa new"
There iSno such thing az a gun getting
'nerveless' " continued the Admiral The
metI ~ which Il ~ made o. not injured
by fring. Some OF our guns have been
fired 100 times without showing any In
Jury or wear. We do not known how
long. they will last except chat the riiiing
has 10 be renewed when u ~ worn out.
but we have never had gun wear out
In our navy. and Therefore. cannot speak
from experience and many Of our guns
have been fired several hundred timea.'
The ordnance experts OF the army csti-
mate that the i2-inch guns on the coast
fortihcations can he fired $40 Times with
out being refined. but this - only specu-
lation. They have never had any expert
ence In that line. None Of the hig guns
belonging 90 the United states has ever
worn out.

The fact that the jury had deliberated
