would be affected by the airship or
dirigible before it could b. brought to
the ground. Speaking on this point.
Colonel j. e. Capper Of the British
army says:
"All things considered. It may be
taken that. though the occupants of a
flying machine must run some and
possibly considerable risk In flying
over territory occupied by hostile
troops, the risk Is not so great but that
they would be justified in facing it in
the interests Of their own country.
"TIe best way of disabling the flying
machine 1T an enemy would be to send
a flying Sap TO engage it in battle"
On this poll, Colonel Capper says:
let us imagine ourselves on a flying
machine, gliding alUE. at fifty miles
an hour. 1000 feet above The earth.
Suddenly. in the far distance, we see a
speck which Dur trained intelligence
soon tells us is an airship. Is it one of
u W or the enemy's? In any case
action is the same.
J 1--WE know we are invisible from it,

of the canal respectively. The forts
have batteries of fourteen inch guns.
twelve inch mortars and six inch guns,
while at the Pacific end in addition
there will be the big sixteen inch gun.
Some idea may be had Of the ire
mendous power of this gun, destined
to protect the Pacific entrance to the
Panama canal, from the fact that 1t is
fifty feet long, weighs 142 tons and
fires a projectile about six feet long.
The projectile itself weighs a ton and
is discharged by SOS pounds of powder.
It requires eight men to carry the pow
der charge. This gun has a maximum
range Of from twenty-five to twenty
three miles. or half the distance be-
tween New York city and West Point.
The elevation permitted by its carriage
will enable the gun to fire a projectile
about eleven miles across the Pacific
ocean. 1t has sufficient power theo-
retically to pierce two feet of the best
armor at the muzzle. At eleven miles
the u is calculated to pierce a twelve
inch armor plate or any side armor
afloat.
When a shell leaves the gun it is re-
volving around its axis at about 1000
revolutions a minute and develops q
pressure Of $4,000 pounds to the square
inch. The pressure to the rear on the
gun and forward on the projectile
