Fuel Invented by Charles H.
Carpenter, of Decatur.
Special to the indianapolis Journal.

FORT WAYNE. Ind, Jan. 16.-W. p.
Denny patent attorney, arrived home to-
day from Washington, where he induced
the Patent Office TO grant a patent on
bicolonite, a composition fuel. invented by
Charles III. Carpenter of Decatur. The
Patent Office had previously refused a
patent on the ground that previous expert
ence had shown such inventions to be fail
ureS.
Several hundred pounds of the fuel were
subjected to tests of the most vigorous
character and the result convinced the
officials that the fuel makes as much heat
as anthracite, is as clean vulcaniZed
rubber. which ii resembles, and is odorless,
with no SCOT, clinkers, and but little ash.
II costs one-ffth the price of anthracite.
The inventor says the materials are found
on every farm.

WILL SHOOT SIXTEEN MILES.
And Takes Half a Ton of Powder to
Each Load,

The Watervliet arsenal, near Troy,
N. Y, has begun work preliminary to
the casting of the largest gun in the
United States. It is to be of sixteen
inch bore. The United States has
built two of the larger caiber for
coast defenses, but they were old
fashioned smooth bores, and not to be
compared with the new gun in size,
weight or anything except caliber.
There are two tWenty-inch guns, one
of which is mounted at Fort Hamil-
ton, and one of which lies on the ord.
nance dock at Governors island.
These guns were not startling sue
cesses. The one at Fort Hamilton
has been fired few times and each
time its recoil has raised the very
dickens with it's carriage.
The new gun will be nearly so feet
long Ito be accurate 1857 feet), will
have a range of 16 miles and be able
to penetrate 273 inches of the best
steel arlnor at distance of two miles.
The gun will weigh 125 tons and il
will throw solid arlnor-piercing pro-
jectile weighing g. pounds. When
the projectile leaves the muzzle of the
gun it will be travelling at the rate OF
1000 feet a second, and if plate OF
harveyized steel 33 inches in thick.
ness were placed near the muzzle of
the gun it would be penetrated by the
flying mass of the projectile.
This gun, mounted at Fort Wads-
worth, would be able to hurl a 300
pound projectile upon hostile man
of-war before she got within seven
miles Of Sandy Hook. England has
in her coast defenses and her navy 16
guns of 16-inch caliber, and France
has eight. Italy has 25 guns of ~
inch caliber. The new gun, work
upon which has now begun at Water
vliet, will be superior in effectiveness,
however, to the Italian guns, although
they do have one inch more of cali
Der. The maximum diameter of the
breech of the new gun will be SO inch
es. To fire this gun will require a
charge of 1,066 pounds of powder, If
the usual brown prismatic kind ia
