SMOXELESS POWDER FATAL.
It's Use in Guns Not Made for It Often
Causes Accidents, Declares
Navy officer.

ouc VI tHc nav OulSeIs uo has
made special study of ordnance,
ammunition, etc, according to the
New York Tribune, speaking of
the explosion of the eightinch
guns on the battleship Iowa, said:
No ordance sharp seems to
know the real cause of accidents
to SO many of the guns on the navy
ships, and much study has been
given to the subject. In my opin-
ion these accidents are largely due
to the use of smokeless powder
in guns not made spec ally for this
kind of ammunition. Where Il
gun has been made with the idea
of black powder only being used,
if there is any tendency to weak
ness anywhere it will develop with
the use of smokeless powder,
which has the greater energy,
and is more erratic. If you should
put two guns of the same re side
by side, assuming that both guns
haze equal strength, you could tell
by "A cursory glance at the chasing
which one was using smokeless
powder, and which the old style.
for the greater effect would be in
the former. We speak of the life
of the guns likely having be
come exhausted, but it is yet an
unsettled question as to what the
life of gun is. Theoretically
13-inch gun should last about 10
firings, but in the Spanish war the
question seems to have been prac-
ticaiiy settled that it would run as
high as twice that number. For
example, the explosion of the 13-
inch gun of the Iowa few months
ago was on its 13Sth shot, so the
fact remains that guns do explode
most surprisingly and unexpect-
edly, and especially when smoke
less powder is being used in guns
built for the use of black powder.
Speaking of great guns, the
question OF positions in ships has
become a controversial one. Are
we, the American navy, mounting
our guns too low? Other navies
mount their guns on a higher
plane tlan we do, on the theory
that it gives larger possibilities
for their use in seaway. The
disadvantages of low gun posi-.
tions-and this is especially the
case on the low freeboard idea of
the monitor-have been pointed
out by seagoing officers, but no
especial consideration to the
proposi ion of higher positions
has bee Given. because of the eff
forts 10 keep down weights and
the ccoter OF gravity.
There is much Of uncertainty in
the pro lem, but there would
seem To Re good argument against
the low positions, since the mod
ern view Of naval authority is that
battle fleets must keep to the high
sea, and the theory that naval bat
ties will be fought at consider.
able distances from the bases OF
either enemy. The last board on
construction decided that the gun
posit ons of the American ships
were not too low. but there is a diff
ferent view among many of the
officers, who have had practical
experience. and they assert that
as the stability in a seaway is de-
creased the lack of height tends to
render guns useless III even mod.
