come of modern war appliances is
the pneumatic high explosive gun.
The Vesuvine is a war vessel es
pecially for this method of combat.
On soma account that we know not
the dynamite guns are stationary
;and are built into the ship. Toe
Vesuvius has three dynamite guns
M feet long that carry a shell of
14J inches; the bore is 15 inches.
"The dynamite charge is capable of
being hurled two miles, though the
orce is com pressed air and not
powder. Like the mortar I gun,
these dynamite guns are fixed and
oan't be raised or lowered. To
'throw a shell a short distance a
small amount of compressed air is
ased. To throw it far a larger
amount is applied.
JVhen we think of the ir made
by a little joint of dynamite, and
then think of a shell 14-2 inches m

If it were possible to send these
-explosives as far and as accurately
as the ordinary heavy shell there
would be little use for armored ves
tfela, heavy guns and mighty forts.
The only safety is in keeping such
-monsters back at a harmless dis
tance.
It is believed that an explosion of

At San FranciBco a 200pound
shell was shot into the Bide of the
mountain and it tore out a hole 65
feet in circumference and 35 feet
deep in the solid rock
The Vesuyiu8 has made a good
beginning, and if she meets with no

out of the Spanish spirits before
they stop their useless fighting.
It is true that the Vesuvius is
mot using nitro-gelatin, but gun
cotton, whioh is very much less

still beyond the ordinary conception
and is altogether too formidable to

It was charming and on an
entirely new line. Messrs.
Bertram and Willard and
those who took part deserve
the greatest praise. The fun
was fast and furious. The
audience in size and quality
was immense.- Columbia, S
