the most remarkable collections OF pottery and tiles in

Journal says: This gun marks progressive step

smaller than that of the 12nch yet while the latter
carries 000pOupd prOjectie and has nuZze velocity
of $3.50 feet second the gun carries 1000 pound
projecte, with muzzle velocity of 2,15O feet second
The projectie for the 15-nch gun will carry much
heavier charge Of high explosive and will therefore
liver blow Of greater force.
"The relative power of the blow delivered by the
two is practically 65 to a. it may be said
that the 14nch hits about Is per harder
the 12inch gun. This is gained somewhat at the
expense of accuracy the 1Aiicn gun will require
higher trajectory The rSojectle travelling less rapidly
than that of the 12iuch gun and being heavier less
subject to the resistance of the air.
1T js probably not extravagant to predict that
single engagement would out any of the 12-nch
guns have. 1t is calculated that the 14-nch
gun may be fired from $50 $50 times before any de-
