Gun That Will Shoot Into Space.

In detailed scientific discussion of
the German long-range gun which
bombarded Paris last spring Maj. j.
Maitland-Addison, writing in the Jour-
nal of the Royal Artillery, takes "a
peep into the future and considers the
possibility of gun capable of shoot
ing projectiles entirely off the earth
into space, a la Jules Verne. The
requisite velocity of such gun is not,
he says, SO very much higher than
what has already been achieved, viz,
a muzzle velocity of mile per sec
ond. When we are able to increase
this to five miles per second the pro-
jectile, if fired at a suitable angle, will
travel around the earth as grazing
satellite, completing it's orbit between
seventeen and eighteen times daily.
With velocity of about seven miles
a second it will move off into space,
never to return.-Scientifc American.

Metals Hard to Maonetize,

Iron is the only metal that can be
made into magnets of great power,
but 1t has been long known that
nickel and cobalt can be feebly mag
netized. A new discovery is that sill
YER may acquire magnetic properties
under certain conditions. A paper
read to the London Royal society has
recorded that, in some experiments on
the attraction Of gravitation, bars of
exceptionally pure silver were heated
to $50 degrees c.. and left for consid-
cradle time in strong magnetic field.
The silver was afterward found to
be permanently - though weakly
magnetized
