Most Powerful Guns.

Successful tests of the big guns just
designed for the battleships New York
and Texas demonstrate the fact that
the United States is now in possession
of the most powerful weapon of de-
struction in the world These new
guns will shoot beyond the horizon
will be able to do effective damage at
a distance greater than the eye can
see. Under the most favorable con-
ditions, the masts of a big battleship
cannot be seen fifteen miles away,
and yet the new guns will be effective
at this distance. Twenty of these
monster guns will be required to arm
the two new battleships, and the
Washington gun factory is now en-
gagged in building them.
The new gun is SO feet 61s inches
long, measuring from butt to muzzle.
It's weight, stripped, is 63.6 tons. Dur
ing the Civil War and later, smooth
bore, muzzle-loading guns of 40, 60
and 80 and even 100 tons were made.
They were coast defense guns. In
the navy at the same time guns of
thirty tons were used. Most of these
guns stood little work, however.
Most of them did not shoot with any
degree of accuracy. After a time
they were abandoned and a smaller
caliber and less weighty gun substi-
tuted.
Long Distance Shooting.
None of these guns would send a
projectile more than three or four
miles. The best guns in the navy dur
ing the Civil War were those which
shot effectively at two miles.
The recent tests made with the

A Remarkable Weapon.

The American gun is based on a
series of secrets-one of the most i'm
portant of which is the projectile
itself. What is definitely known about
the projectile is that it can be placed
accurately, will explode at given
moment, and that from it will radiate
other projectiles, which in turn ex-
plode and cover an immence cubic
space. An expert who described it
yesterday said that perhaps the best
comparison of the effect of such a
shot at night would be the well-known
shower Of stars in pyrotechnic dis
plays. The space covered, however,
would be infinitely larger, because as
the shell itself explodes it radiates
other shells. They say, too, very con-
fidently, that unless the secret of the
explosive should be discovered this
effect cannot be initiated by any other
nation.
The experts are so certain of what
this gun can do that they say that

Especial Correspondence of the Starr
WASHINGTON, Aug. IA gun
with an instantaneously acting sight
which will scatter projectiles that in
turn will explode and scatter more
projectiles, fanwise, at a speeding
aeroplane, has been perfected by the
War Department-and officials are
confident that American genius has
solved the problem thus far battling
the armies of the world
With the completion of this marvel
Gus gun the war authorities believe
they have mastered the question
whether the aeroplane in it's highest
perfection can ever be a serious men,
ace to ships of war, land Notifications,
or armies in camp or in the field.
Armed with this new invention, the
American soldiers will be free from
the dangers of flying aeroplanes drop
ping explosives upon them. The in.
vention is regarded as one of the most
important discoveries in advanced
methods of warfare, and that the
United States army has it in it's pos
session as the product of it's own ord
nance force, means that all other ma
lions have been outstripped.
The new gun, which differs mate
rally from any weapon devised by
France or Germany, and which is the
final chapter in long series of reject
ed models, is entirely the work of the
ordnance bureau, under Gen. William
Crozier. Thus far all foreign inven-
tons of this nature have proven fail
ures.

Respectively.
Columbus. o., Jan. 2.-Onlcials of
the state institutions and depart
ments have asked the general assem-
bly, to appropriate this winter, for
1911, amounts aggregating $12,3S1,.
616.09, an increase of $3.50, 0,35S.23 over
what they sought for 1910, according
TO a detailed statement of estimates
prepared by Filing Clerk Garner Of
auditor of states department. Legis-
lators are likely to lower the amount
several millions of dollars before act
ing on the requests. For 1910 only
$S,9G5131.71 was appropriated, or
S4,414,47S.3S less than has been ask
ed for this year.
A total Of $11, ,131 ,260.60 was sought
for 1912. The estimates show a slight
increase in the current expenses Of
many state institutions. This was
explained by citing a new rule which
requires officers of the institutions to
pay all receipts into the state treas
ury instead of using them, as has
been the custom.
TO obtain funds for the erection of
a group of II new buildings, trustees
of Ohio State university have asked
for S1,054,5S5 for 1911, and 81 ,006, ,1S1
for 1912. Only $354,5OO was appro-
priated last year.
To relieve congestion at the Boys
Industrial school and the Girls In
dustrial home, an increase of $4,000
over the 1910 appropriation is sought
for the former institution and $685.
600 additional for the girls home.
For the boys school S32S,000 is asked
for 1911 and $240,70O for 1912. The
girls home will receive $37O,OOO for
this year and $256,O00 for 1912 If the
request OF trustees is granted.
Ohicials of the Ohio agricultural
