GUN is SELF-COOLING.
Rapid-fre Artillery Experiments
Show Excellent Results.

Berlin. Lee. 22-The VorWaerts gives
details Of the successful application of
the principle Of the machine gun TO rapid
firing artillery. The experiments have
been going on fer years. The difficulty
OF cooling the gu.s, owing to the great
heat generated by firing them for long
time, baffied the designers.
This has now been overcome by utiliz-
ing part of the force OF each recoil TO
send a stream of water along the gun
tube The new gun fires three times as
rapidly as the ordinary rapid-fire gun.
The invention apparently is more suit
able for stationary than field artillery.
II is already in use in the German navy.
