UNCLE HAM'S BIG GUNS.
Facta About Tboir C liber, Weight
and Rang-o.
Amerlcmi Klilpn of War Armed with
HiiB Cniinnn Which Fir Projoctllo
Weighing Ono Tlirnmm.d round
Ten Mile.
The following facts concerning the
power and capabilities of some of the
main and secondary battery guns car
ried aboard war ships of the United
States readers may find of interest:
The main battery guns have for a max
imum caliber at present thirteen inches.
These puns arc sixty-seven-ton breech
loading riHoa. The minimum caliber
now allowed in the main batteries of
high-powered ordnance guns la the
four-inch rapid-fire piece. The various
calibers include the thirteen-inch,
twelve-inch, ten-inch, eight-inch, six
inch, five-inch and four-inch. The sec
ondary batteries include tho six
pounder, three-pounder and one
pounder rapid-lire guns, tho forty-Bevcn-millimetcr
and thirty-seven-milli-mcter
revolving cannon and tho Gat
ling gun. Recently, however, tho navy
department has confined tho guns of
the secondary battery to the six
poundcr and long one-pounder rapid
fire pieces, the thir'ty-scven-millimeter
revolving cannon and tho Qatling gun.
The majority of main-battery guns
in service to-day are of the six-inch
caliber. The building up of tho ord
nance of the United States navy may bo
said to have begun with the six-inch
guns. Just now, however, there ap
pears to be a tendency to make the
four-inch guns preponderate in num
bers, the Dashiel rapid-fire breech
mechanism making this caliber gun an
ideal weapon for tho smaller class of
unnrmorcd ships.
No guns of the thirteen-inch caliber
have as yet been fabricated. This type
of gun will not bo demanded until the
new battleships Indiana, Massachu
setts and Oregon, now building, are
ready for service. Each of these bat
tle ships will have four thirteen-inch
guns. In limiting the main-battery
guns to the thirteen-inch caliber, the
navy department has adopted the plan
now in vogue in the British navy. Un
til recently the British admiralty was
ordering sixteen-inch 110-ton guns. The;
maximum caliber gun now building for
use in the British navy is tho 13.5-inch
07-ton gun. A few 110-ton guns are
afloat to-day aboard British warships,'
but when the life of these pieces is ex
hausted they will In all probability be
replaced by G7-ton guns.
The heaviest caliber guns so far com
pleted for the United States navy are
the twelve-inch weapons, of which two
arc finished. They nro both designed
for service abourd the coast-defenso
battle ship Monterey. The twelve-inch
guns weigh about fifty-one tons, tire a
projectile weighing one thousand
pounds to a distance of about ten miles,
the powder charge weighing five hun
dred pounds. The twclve-iuch projec
tile should be able to pierce eighteen
inches of steel armor at point-blank
range. The twelve-inch gun is worked
either by hydraulic or pneumatic pow
er, all tho elevating, training and load
ing being under the control of levers.
The United States navy has to date
four ten-inch guns mounted aboard
ship. They are carried by the double-
turreted monitor Miantonomoh, two
ten-inch guns being in each of her tur
rets. This gun has a weight of about
thirty tons. The projectile fired weighs
about five hundred pounds and is pro
pelled by a powder charge weighing
about two hundred and thirty pounds.
The estimated range is about eight
miles.
The eight-inch gnn is in service
aboard five warships of the navy and
will be placed aboard a number of the
new warships as the vessels put in their
appearance. This gun fires a shot
weighing about two hundred and ten
pounds, with a powder charge of about
ninety pounds. The range is about
seven miles.
The six-ineh gun weighs very close to
five tons. The projectile weighs one
hundred pounds and the powder charge
about forty-five pounds. ' The range is
close to five miles.
The five-inch gun weighs about forty
hundred weight, and the four-inch gun
about twentv -six hundred-weight The
projectile of the latter weighs thirty
three pounds, and the range is over
three miles.
Worshiping; Bottles in Bnrmah.
A eood storv is told by the Modern
Church. An eminent lady missionary in
Burmah recently gave Dr. A. J. Gordon
an instructive but somewhat startling
chanter from her experience. In one of
her tours she said uie came upon a vil
lage where cholera was raging. Having
with her a Quantity of a famous pain
killer she went from house to house
niin t.tering the remedy to the invalids
and loft a number of bottles to be used
after she had gone. Returning to the
village some months later the m'.ssion-
arv was met bv the head man of the
community, who cheered and delimited
her by this intelligence: "Teacher, w
have come over U voui iuui tiiC THCC
cine did us so much cood that we have
accepted your God." Overjoyed nt this
news she was conducted to the house of
her informant, who, opening a room,
showed her the pain-killer bottles, sol
emnly nrranged in a row upon the shell,
and before them the whole company
Immediately prostrated themselves In
worship.
