Erect Of Powder on Guns.

A serious trouble that confronts
the modern artillerists Is the tend.
ency Of the smokeless powders that
are now exclusively used 10 burn
out the interior lining Of the guns,
particularly near the powder cham.
Der. The powder itself Is The cause
OF more. or less anxiety because Of
| Its chemical instability. Thecrosiefi
or burning out Of tho interior tube
Of the gun. which is in Immediate
contact with the powder gases, Is
due to the high pressure and intense
heat Of the gases.
At the instant a charge Is fred q
great volume Of gas is generated.
and, being confined In The powder
chamber by the projeclile, its pres
sure rises 10 an enormous amount,
which, In the case Of the service
charges in the United States guns,
is as high as seventeen tons TO the
square inch. This Ii accompanied
by a proportionate rise IN the tenn
perature Of the gases
II Il we're possible TO look into the
powder chamber al the Instant Of
discharge il would be found 10 be- at
a dazzling white heat, AS the pro-
iectile begins TO move down the bore
OF the gun these white hot gases
rush out OF the powder chamber,
and as they stream from .he larger
chamber into the smaller bore they
literally melt the hardened steel sur
face OF the bore, the process being
probably assisted by some chemical
reaction not yet thoroughly under
stood.
The gases, under the enormous
pressure, quickly find out the very
smallest way Of escape past the base
Of the shell. and they stream at an
enormous velocity and stillata white
heat through any such slight open
ing and melt the hard steel Of the
guns just as stream OF steamer hot
water would cut It's way through a
block Of ice.
British artillerists have had great
trouble from erosion because 81 the
quality OF powder which they use.
The powder is known as cordite,
and the erosion Ii the price which
the British paw for certain desirable
qualities which are absent fromother
powders that do not cause SO much
erosion. Cordite consists Of City
eight parts Of nitroglycerin, thirty
seven parts OF gun cotton and five
parts vaseline, and it Is responsible
for the serious eroding effects. Bulk
for bulk. the English powder Is much
more powerful than tlne United States
Navy powder.

There are now several points in and

gather where improvements are IN
progress. The work on the Citizens
National Bank building at the northeast
corner of King and ST Asaph is in an
advanced stage, and continues to attract
numbers who watch the workmen raise
the stones to the upper stories and place
them in position. The removing OF the
piles at the old ferry slip is another
procedure which is watched with interest
by numbers, while the work OF con-
structing the iron railroad bridge over
King street is another attraction to the
many who have leisure to witness the
modus operandi. The Schiller Beet
Company is preparing the foundation
for three modern brick buildings at the
northwest corner of King and Patrick
streets. and Mr.. Peter Aitcheson had
cleared the site for two similar structures
on the north side of Duke street, be-
tween Royal and Pitt. A number OF
frame residences are being constructed
in other sections of the city.
