Monsters Arrives in New York
HarbOr and is Being Tried Out to
See if the Giant Will Do All
That is Expected of 1t

eTT HE biggest gun In the world
has Just arrived in New York
harbor. It Is being nursed
and pctted and encouraged and
tried out to see II there is anything
wrong with II and to make sure
that It viii do all that It is ex.
pected to. This ~ the first Of tho
giant coast-defense guns which will
eventually be scattered around the
harbor defense OF our big coast
cities and the Panama Canal.
II is the biggest gun ever con.
structed. Some Of the great Ger
man cannon are Of slightly larger
calibre. but they are mortars, a
different kind Of weapon. and do
not weigh nearly so much.
There are to be many OF these
huge guns. according to the War

OF them are 10 be mounted In the
forts that guard the entrances OF

win be provided for the coast de-
fences Of the United States proper

but an OFFICIAL board quite a while

eighteen should be mounted for the
protection OF New York City. Also
It recommended that ten should be
emplaced at San Francisco. eight at
Boston and four at Hampton Roads.

a powder charge Of los pounds, and
throws an S00-pound shell over five
miles. One such projectile land
ing on the deck Of dreadnought
would be likely to put her out OF
action.
The forts at the Atlantic entrance
of the canal are three in number,
and are situated on the mainland.
In other respects their arrange
ments and armament are much the
same. Each Of them is to be pro-
vided with one giant sixteen-inch
rifle.
The seven huge guns thus pro-
vided for the defense Of the Pan
anna Canal would alone be sufficient
to stand off, the most formidable
feet. Constructed, as they are, in
accordance with the very latest
military ideas, and armed as they
will be, the forts here described
are expected to be practically i'm
pregnable. That they will ever be
captured by attack from the sea is
not for a moment to be imagined.

best conveyed by comparing II,
