charge Of eight to ten pounds Of bsack powder, was adopted, and In 1881 the forty-two pounder, with caliber of seven inches and using ten to fourteen pounds of black powder came into use. In 1S44 the eight and ten inch Colum- biads fired a shot weighing sixty-fve pounds and used charge of ten to if teen pounds of black powder. The ten inch shot weighed 126 pounds, and the powder charge was eighteen and twen- ty pounds.
 In 1861 the first fifteen-inch Rodmar gun was cast. These guns were smoothbores of cast iron. The process of manufacture was evolved by Gen eral Rodman, who, to prevent injuri- ous strains produced by cooling cast ingS from the exterior, east these guns on hollow core and cooled by q stream of water or air passing through the core Rodman's fifteen-inch gun fired a shot weighing 42S pounds with charge of forty pounds of black pow der and was the first great gun intro duced ill modern times in any service. Just before the Civil War ritlcd mus kets and guns began to displace smoothbores. Captain Parrott's rifles were the first ones of large calibcr used in the United States service. The lar gest of these had an eight and ten inch bore and were east hollow and cooled from the interior on the Rod man plan. They were strengthened by shrinking a coiled band of wrought iron over that portion of the gun which surrounds the powder charge. The eight-inch Palrott rifle fired an elon- gated projectile weighing 150 pounds with q charge of sixteen pounds of black powder. The ten-ineh rifle fired

 Harris has caused l. =, placed by the side of the great tWeiyc-inch gun q ten inch rifle on a ba.bettc carriage In a barbette carriage the rifle is at all times exposed above the parapet. The reader may remember the discussion on the subject between General Miles and the Ordnance Board, the general not fayorng the disappearing device, chief ly on account of it's complicated mecha- nism and it's liability to get out of or
 der. Each carriage appears to have its particular use. On elevated sites the parapet furnishes all the protection re-
 quired, but on a flat coast the diSap- bearing would seen to possess very great advantage. It is thought that on low sites the rifle must be mounted either on a disappearing carriage or in turret. The expense of d turret is es
 timated at about four and q half times the cost of the disappearing carriage

2oO pound elongated projectile with twenty-five pounds of powder.
 Inside of the main Government build ing will be exhibited the machine guns of all kinds, including the automatic gun how being used by the United States Army in the Philippines and China; also several hundred small arms, showing the development of these arms from the match lock, wheel lock. flint lock and percussion cap locl. to the breechloading magazine small arms of today.
 In the Engineering section of the War Department will be exhibited models of engineering work, both mil itary and those constructed by our Engineer Corps in the river and harbef work Among the latter will be mod els of the breakwatcr being construct ed in Buffalo harbor. \ very inter- esting collection of models of engineer ing work Oh the Mississippi River will also be displayed. Two of the Missis- sippi models-the Hydraulic Dredging Plant and Hydraulic Grader-were given the grand prize in the recent Paris exposition.
 In the Signal section of the War De partmeHt exhibit will be displayed all instruments and appliances used in communication by flag, heliograph. wire. telegraph cable and by wireless teiegfapHy. Wireless telegraphy will be ill operation at all times during the Exposition, one station being located at the Government building on the grounds and the other station some miles away. probably at Fort Porter.
 The Military Academy at West Point has never been represented It any pre- yious exposition. A very complete and interesting exhibit, showing history, curriculum, plant of the Academy, it's work and workings, will constitute a part of the War Department exhibit. The inclosure of the West Point eX- hibit will have the form and appear ance of regular cadet barracks, the top of the partition showing battle ments with q tower at each corner. A committee of professors of the Military Academy has been appointed by the superintendent of the Academy to pre- pare this exhibit. r. W. Larned Pro lessor of Drawing. who is q member of the committee has recently sent Cap tain Harris plan of this feature.
 Ill the Quarternaster's section will be shown paintings, photographs and drawings illustrating the Army Trans port service. Uniforms of the army at different periods from the Revolution to the present day will be exhibited on about forty lay figures.
 The entire exhibit of the War De. partment under Captain Harris will be of most entertaining character as the Captain has visited all the arsenals of the country. gathering such things as to him seemed of public interest and value in order to make an entirely new and attractive exhibit.

GREAT GUNS AT
 PAN=AMERICAN
Uncle Sam Will Show Mammoth Coast Defenders at the
 Buffalo Exposition.

! It has sometimes been said by un- of the United States are not well de- Tended. A flood of new light will be let into such gloomy minds by the Ord nance exhibit of the War Department at the Pan-American Exposition. When the Exposition opens for it's six months season at Buffalo on May 1 of this year, the early visitor will find the largest and most powerful guardians of our seacoasts ever exhibited by the United States Government Even the smaller of the two great new guns ill the Government exhibit at the Exposi- tion will be larger than any ever before displayed by our Uncle Samuel
 Captain Peter c. Harris, who repre- sents the War Department, in charge of the entire war exhibit, has been en- gagged actively for months upon his great work of collecting the newest dis play of the kind ever made in this country. It WAS an absurd question perhaps that l asked when 1 inquired if his exhibits would be ready on May
 
 ternative for q soldier The Captain looked reprovingly at me.
 But of the guns-great guns indeed; big around as a locomotive boiler thir- ty odd feet long. with a more savage muZzle than ever coughcd destruction apon any hostile fleet; built with the accuracy of q watch; so delicate in ad- justment that q little finger may tray erse the gun, thus moving a weight of nearly half a million pounds, yet a ma chine to spout a volcano blast and to create an earthquake at the will of man!
 The big gun of which 1 speak is a United States Army twelve inch breechloading rifle, model of 1895, mounted upon disappearing carriage. Its weight, stripped of everything, even the breech block, is 115.0O0 pounds. It's total length is 36 SS-100 breech is 44.5 inches. It throws an armor piercing shot weighing 1000 pounds, the length of which is three and one half feet. It also throws q pro jeetile, an armor piercing shell weighing 1000 pounds, four feet long, carrying bursting charge of 39.4 pounds of gun cotton. The charge of powder is 240 pounds of smokeless or 400 pounds of brown prismatic powder The muzzle velocity of the projectiles under the above conditions is 2,300 feet per sec 0nd, with a maximum pressure per square inch of 37000 pounds. The muzzle energy is 36,671 foot tons. The power of penetration in steel at the muzzle is 30.9 inches, at 1000 yards 2S.5 inches, at 2.500 yards 25.5 inches aud at $500 yards 23.5 inches. The total weight of the gun and carriage Is AT ,959 pounds. The carriage is twen- ty-five feet in diameter at the base, and the gun when in firing position is seventeen feet above the base of the carriage. When the shot is fired, the Tecoil causes the mechanism to lower the gun seven and onc-half feet, be hind the parapet. The gun has an ac. curacy of aim for about eight miles, and the extreme range is about double that distance.
 Ks have said, guns of this type have never before been exhibited by he Unted States Government, and
Pine Bluff daily graphic., 1901-04-14

The Endieott Board on Ordnance and Fortitications a number of years ago decided in favor of the disappearing carriage, and the department has been laboring to obtain a satisfactory one. The one shown at the Pan American Exposition is considered the most per feet in the world
 The ten-ineh breechloading rife is from the model of 1895 and weighs G6,- TOO pounds. It's total length is 30,1G feet, and the diameter of the breech is thirty-seyen inches The proiectile is an armor piercing shot or shell. The shell carries a bursting charge of 22.4 pounds of gun cotton and weighs 51o pounds, having length of four feet. The solid shot is three and one-half feet long. The powder charge is 14O pounds of smokeless powder, and the muzzle velocity of the projectile is 2,3OO feet in q second The maximum pressure per square inch is 37,O0O pounds The muzzle energy with the charge of smoteless powder is 21,oS6 foot tons. The gun has penetrating power of twenty inches in steel at 2.500 yards.
 At the right of the ten-inch gun a tWelve-inch mortar has been mounted, and it is no small affair. Farther to the right is fiYc-inch rapid fire gun. All are mounted behind sections Of q para pet and the four pieces represent one gun of each type used in seacoast forti- locations.
 To the left of the great twelye-inch disappearing gun will be exhibited the old seacoast ordnance of tue United States, arranged in a historical series the tWelye-inch gun itself representing tllc climax Near the small building specially constructed for this purpose will be displayed the mountain, field and siege guns of the present day, to- gether with types of old guns used in the different wars in which the United States have been engaged.
 The Ordnance exhibit will show the historical development of ordnance in the United States, a gun representing every type adopted by the United States and showing the evolution of guns mortars and hoWitZers. Among Ill, howitZers will ie one made in ll93. There will also be thirty or forty tro- phy guns, displayed according to peri od of capture. \ novel feature will be trophy fountain, representing burst ing she'll with water spouting from it's creyices. This will be mounted on q pile of proiectiles. surrounded by tro- phy guns.
 The largest guns mounted in any of our seacoast batteries during the war Of 1912 were twenty-four pounders, the diameter of bore being less than six inches and the weight of guns $500 pounds. They were little over ten feet long. and the powder charge was six and eight pounds of black powder. They were mounted upon wooden car riages. In 1929 the thirty-two pounder, with a caliber of 6.41 inches, using a

The car riage was made at the WatertoWn Ar Senal, near Boston.
