peril which man cannot control. ON
the other hand, the Missouri horror
was one with which no enemy had
anything to do, and from which the
state OF the weather was not. to any
extent responsible.
The question it: What can be done
10 minimize the dangers of manipu-
iadng our modern naval guns? An
other QuestiOn-which is really a part
OF the first Query-is this: Has the
limit of safety been passed in rapid
hring? These questions will give the
ordnance experts of the navy some
thing to think about for a long time
TO come. Indeed. they have been think
ing about it. The question Of rapid
firing was being seriously considered
at the Very time the Missouri disas-
ter occurred. and it is significant to
learn that the Nissouri's officers had
been warned against too rapid firing
Of her large caliber guns.

loaded their cannon while the iron was
still hot from the last discharge. ana
how, to prevent a premature expo
sion of the powder. a mans thumb
was held over the printing hole or the
gun in order to keep the air from eN-
plosive material.
The same danger Of premature eN-
plosion exists in modern guns today
but the means Of preventing it are not
as simple In target practice recently
on the battleship Alabama, when phe-
nomenally rapid firing was done, 1t
was realized that the heating Of the
breech of the gun was an exceedingly
dangerous factor. The smokeless pow
der is loaded into the gun in canvas
sacks. 1t has sometimes been found
that. in cases of rapid firing. the
hreech block has been thrown back
before all Of the remnants Of canvas
from the charge were consumed
There is always danger that some Of

II was only last month that gun
tlrret crew on the Alabama establish
d q new record in rapid firing with
r3-inch guns Thirty seconds between
shots was the record for drill and 3S
seconds for firing in actual target
practice. Ever since that performance
here has been serious discussion
4mong the officers of the ordnance
11reau as to the dangers of rapid fir

,yen before the Missouri disaster, that
he limit Of safety had been reached.

officers are beginning to fear that an
Unsafe incentive is being offered.
On the other hand. despite the
yorId-famed accuracy and general eX-
oertness of American gunners, the
naval authorities of this country feel
constantly the spur of foreign naval
competition. It is admitted that in
come respects our gunnery is inferior
10 that of one or two other nations.
and it is an open secret that the a.
inch guns of the British navy are su-
perior to our corresponding 5-mch
pieces.
