Singularly enough, cast iron, never
considered very strong, and thought
by most people to be far less durable
than steel, improves greatly In
strength when subjected to constant
shocks. This was proved by guns of
various ages and service. Guns tried

SEVENTEEN or eightieth discharge.
Other guns, which had been in use for
six years, failed to burst after 1000
or 5000 discharges, and cast iron
bars, after being subjected to shocks,
frequently gain 100 per cent. in
strength. But, in all cases, the cast
iron which proved strongest was cast
