BIG NAVAL FIRING TEST
TO Be HELD WITHIN
TWO WEEKS
Everything Ready for Sending
High Power Shells at
ArmOTed Vessel.
HOPE TO OBTAIN
VALUABLE RESULTS

Washington, March 31.-Within
two weeks probably the firing test of
l2-inCh guns at the turret OF the
monitor Florida viii take place. For
nearly six months preparations Tor
this event have been carried on and
everything is now ready. Conditions
as nearly as possible approaching ac-
tual warfare will prevail and Incl
dentally other bureaus Of the navy
department hope to obtain valuable
results. The preparations for the
event hav" been made in a guarded
manner and every effort has been ex-
crted 10 keep information on the sub

Following the experiments carried
or by the British government year
ago I'm firing at the old war vessel
Hero. the conclusion was reached
by the navy department that much
valuable data might be secured from
similar test on one of the monitors.
What little information the British
government is willing To give out
showing the results of the firing at
the Hero is in the possession of the
naval experts. 1t IS understood that
the hulk was sunk as result of a
shell piercing the vessel below the ar
NOR belt
Effects Of the bursting Of high pow
er shells on armor plate have been
demonstrated again and again at the
Indian Head proving grounds. The
firing there, however. has been
against individual plates. not as they
are bolted ana riyeted together in the
urr,t or ON the sides Of a man-of-
war. To determine what would hap

eIdrd 30 try a. shot cor two at the

Narike as possible.
Practically the only element lack

the vessel. The department would
