BROWN GUN is A WONDER.
Newly : Invented Fighting Machine
Said to Have a Range Of Ono
Hundred Miles.

The inventor Of the new American gun
Is a man nameI j. Hamilton Brown,

U. $. a.. an artiilerisl Oh high s%t:udjag

tty OF contemporary ~gun-bulldera.
says a writer in Everybody's, Col. lu-
gals and the officers with him as
sert that this six-inch cur will
throw 80 miles a pIujectile weighing ZOO
pounds. which will pierce a six-inch
steel target. A ten-inch gun OF this
construction. with a powder chamber
OF 1889 cubic inches and using 800
pounds of smokeless powder, would hurl
a Compound projectile a distance of 50
miles. Increasing this ratio, a 1G-inch
gun would have an extreme range OF
more than 100 miles, and equipped with
such coast-defense rifles England and
France could shell each other across the
channel. The important new principle
in the Brown gun Is the winding of a
tube OF involute steel plates with pol
tshed steel wire, thus securing
both longitudinal and circumferential
strength. The gun is 313 inches long
and weighs 20, 600 pounds. On aforged-
steel lining tube "a flat steel sheets, one
seienth az an inch in thickness and 30s
inches IN length. are laid in the sanIf,
fashion that sninsle5 are put ON 4 roo.
