ARMY AND NAVY MARKSMEN.

The public has had much told il re-
garding the efficiency of our naval marks
men. and the change that has taken place
within the last few years in this direc-
ton is something little short OF marvel
lous Without any desire to be alarming
il is unfortunately true that the gunner
afioat largely because of his superior
equipment. is far more formidable foe
than his brother of the army. Our Finch
guns can be fired four times minute
from our battleshps. and accuracy Is eX-
pected and obtained within ranges ex-
tending from 1900 to 1900 yards. In fact,
the requirements of the navy are strik-
ngly stated in the opening paragraph Of
RULES for Battle Practice" which roads:
THE measure of the battle efficiency Of
any vessel is her ability to deliver the
greatest number of hits in the shortest
possible time after the enemy is sighted
and with the least expenditure OF ammu-
milton"
without disclosing the details Of the
coast artillery target firing. unfortunate
ly the truth Is that the number of hits
per gun per minute is far below the rec
ords OF the navy at much longer ranges
In brief. the rapidity of fire and the hit
ting capacity of our coast artillery are not
I'D to that of the sister service, and have
we any right to assume that our navy in
this particular is measurably better than
that Of a possible enemy?
The army guns that We have been dis
cussing are what are known as Hat
trajectory guns" which, put In popula-

weight is 49.5 tons. the weight OF the pro-
jectile is 1860 pounds. and such construc-
ton has been adopted as will involve
muzzle velocity of 2.ljJ feet a second
The charge of powder required TO pro-
duce this velocity is about 20 pounds, as
against 36G pounds for the Pinch gun of
the model of 1900
by reason of the lower velocity re-
quired and the consequent smaller pow
der charge. it is possible 10 make the IL
inch gun proportionatoly shorter than the
Finch sun, and the smaller charge OF
powder also involves less diameter OF
powder chamber and therefore, with
the same thickness of wall Of the cham
Der in calibres, less exterior diameter
Of the gun over the breech These ele-
ments of saving are so considerable that
the weight of the 14-inch gun becomes
actually less than that Of the l2-inch. and
as a lower maximum pressure is needed
IL is possible to attain all the strength
which will be used without employing the
most expensive steel.
THE life Of the gun before its aCcu-
racy should show impairment Will be

six and one-half hours OF continuous
firing at the rate at which it is thought
that il can be fired Because both Of it's
lighter weight and of the cheaper ma
terial of construction the cost OF the gun
will be less than that Of the l2-inch gun.
while the cost OF the charge Of powder
will be also less than that for the Pinch
gun by about so.
Summarizing, il appears that by using
in the situations requiring the greatest
power a 4-inch gun, with 2,15O feet a Soc
ond muzzle velocity Of projectile. instead
of the Pinch gun. with 800 feet a second
initial velocity, we should secure
lighter gun. a cheaper gun, heavier pro-
jectile. greater muzzle energy. a still
greater proportion Of energy at each dis
lance beyond the muzzlc and a life four
times as long
Accol ding TO Major James NJ Williams,
of the Coast Artillery Corps, there are
as many as four different models Of the
14-inch gun, the first being Of the date
of 1901 and the last OF 1910 All told. the
nation has nine of these built or build
ing, and apparently none has yet been
installed. In other words. the ordnance
department is still experimenting in its
endeavor to get weapon suitable to cur

needs According to a news dispatch
from Washington the day of the disas-
ter, it is said that this particular H-inch
gun. while being tested, burst on her
first full pressure round! This does not
sound like the endurance promised in
1906. when 1t was proposed to substitute
rifles of this calibre for the previously
accepted Pinch gun.
The public will probably never get all
of the details of that unfortunate weap-
on. but to the casual observer it does
look as though the lightness, the ma
terlal (purposely chosen because OF Its
cheapness) and the method Of construc-
ton had all contributed toward the guns
destruction. Mark you, feeling secure in
the fairly long period of peace, so far
as we arc concerned, our army ordnance
experts have been evolving these rifles

DEFENCE MADE IMPOSSIBLE.

Now. then, what does this mean? Sim
ply, if our own battleships are out Of the
way. that a properly equipped squadron
of the enemy could take a position safely
beyond the effective service of our coast
al batteries, and from that point Ct van
tage send its full attack upon us With
out fear OF retaliation. This would be
bad enough if the emplacements Of our
land batteries were sheltered from an as
sault of this kind, but, alas, such is not
the case, and now we have come to tho
very crux of the whole problem.
Again. let us go 10 a fountainhead, as
it were. for our enlightenment. In the
very last issue of The Journal of the
United States Artillery" Major James NJ.
Williams tells unwittngly the whole
story. And that recital shows us how

DIMINISHED OFFENSIVE POWER.

ordnance department OF the army mas en-
deavored TO lessen the difficulty by reduc-
ing the propulsive pressure behind the

khed the offensive power Of substantially
oil OF our coast defences The ordnance
experts Of the army set about this ques-
tionable revolution something like SIX
years ago. and the 14-inch rifle that burst
the other day is the product OF progressive
experimenting since then. Despite the
risk OF becoming a trifie tedious let us
quote from the annual report OF the chiet
OF ordnance for 1906. II was then that

guns for I2-inch guns. the latter having

sMoKELEss POWDER DISEASE,

There is a disease from which modern
high powered ordnance suffers when using
smokeless powder This malady, in the
parlancc Of the metallurgist, is called
erosion" There is nothing formidable
about the grasping Of the physical condl-
tons involved. The flame and gases OF
ignited smokeless powder are about twice
the temperature of the melting point or
steel. These gases as they form in the
powder chamber and back of the ad-
vancing projectile reach pressure OF
from fifteen TO seventeen tons to the
square inch. Now. the projectile does
not absolutely fill the bore Of the rife,
even though the ordnance engineer tries
10 get very close TO this by banding his
shot with soft copper, which can be
squeezed into the grooves cut in the gun
TO give the missile its rotary motion, and
here Is where the trouble begins.
The intensely hot propulsive gases at
the rear OF the shot work their way past
the projectile and heat the surface of
the bore virtually 10 incandescence. This
softens the metal, and the rush OF the
following missile actually wipes away
part Of the rifling. The gases under the
impulse OF the pressure of tons to the
square inch act upon the lining of the
weapon like a blowpipe. The rihng is
necessary in order to give the projectile
the rotary motion which is essential to
steadiness in flight. This motion Keeps
the point foremost and prevents the shell
from "tumblng" or somersaulting while
hurting through the air. The impair
ment OF the riflng, therefore, tends TO
depreciate the military efficiency OF the
