RANGE FINDERS AND THEIR USE A SHfntlflp Mftlmd of IlclrniilnlnH' the I' lt1on , nf a Iliutllr So tliat \ Sliotn Arc i The accurate determination of the pceltton of h03tll vwsels approaching a. fortified harbor , no that -every shot fired from the great coast defense gum will reach Its tar get , Is of the greateat Importance. In the old days , say thirty years ago , range finding was an experiment. Tons of uhot were fired at random , In the hope that acme of the metal might hit the target. The gunner In the tnrbor fort guessed at the distance of a hostile ship and fired away. If the shot failed to reach the target he guessed again and continued guessing until hp guessed the rare0. There Is no guesswork about the moaern system. Range finding Is reduced tea a sclcntl2c baste , How It ( a done and the Implements employed form the subject of an Ino'.ruct'vp ' article In the New York Sun , frcm which the following Is taken : Nowadays aiming a seacoaet gun on a ship Inn exact science. The range and the di rection of the tarcrt are computed by deli cate Instruments , which make correct allow ances for the rise and fall of the tide , the fcrco and direction of the wind , the curva ture of the earth and normal and abnormal refiacllon of light , and the fllzht of the projectile Is accurately gauged by the aid cf range tables and delicate machinery for changing thu elevation and direction of the gun , and such exact calculations are made of the time of the projectile's flight and the speed and caurpo of a moving target that an SOO-pouud mortar shell , carr > tng enough guncotton - cotton to sink a ship , may be dropped on the deck of a. ship five mllrs away , In spite of the fact that the shell Is In the air mere than a minute , and the ship moves hundreds of yards after the gun .a ' fired and before the prrjcctfle roaches her. An entire fleet of steaming arinor-clads may be destroyed by the guna of batteries whose commanders taUo aim and fire without seeing a single ship , and who know the position of the fleet oiir from mctsages received over a tele phone cr telegraph line , from an observer perhaps hundreds of yarda aw-ay. These re markable results will be attained at all the eeacoast forts of the country when the plans adopted have been carried out. The United States will then have the ducat system of scacoact fortifications In the world. Uange finding Is merely an application of the primary principles of surveying. If a surveyor wishes to find the width of a river ho lays out a triangle , with a.line on one shore as a base and an object on the oppo site shore as the apex. Knowing the distance between the two points of observation and the angles made with the base line by the lines from the observation points to the ob ject across the river , he computes the width of the river. This Is the horizontal system of range finding adopted by the United States navy , but now.about to be abandoned. The Fiske navy range Under gives the dis tance of an object fiom a ship by the aid of air electric current working through two rheostats and a Whtatstone bridge. Obsnrv- enj at the bow and slum of the ship follow the target with telescopes mounted on plvoty. The turning of the telescopes varies the re sistance of the rheostats , the changes In the current moving a range Indicator In the Whcatstono'g bridge. The system lacks ac- curac : ' . chiefly because the delicate In- atrumcnts are Influenced by the many elec tric currents of a modern war eblp. The Navy department \.lll probably remove the Fisko Instruments from the navy and adopt a depression finder as aon as a satisfactory naval tjpe Is developed. The Inventor of the Lew In coast finder Is seeking to adapt the instrument for uae In military tops , but the swaying and vibration of ships is a diffi cult obstacle In the way. DEPRESSION FINDERS. Depression finder ; ) calculate distance by .trlingulatlon. the height i't ' the Instrument 'above sea. level 'jclng ' the base of a right trlaag'e. Knowing the angle of depression of 'the water line of the object , the distance U a simple matter of computation , the angle Increasloj with the approach of the ob ject. > AI1 dtiprfBjlcn finders aie so < nade that the movcoier.i of the telescope , as the c/bserver follows the target , troves the range Indicator about a graduated scale , the ob server needing cnly to glance at the scale to 1 raw the range. No calculation Is neces sary. The chle ? advantage * of the depression Position finder are that tut one observing station Is needed , and co use ls made of dt'.lcsto electrical Instruments. An instru ment giving cut , a reserve Instrument may be quickly set up In 4U place. The dlreo- tlu of the target frcm the * observing sta tion "It sho.vn by a second scale , graduated 'oto degree * and minutes. The meridian Is the zero'pclnt ' lor direction and a horizontal line iTor de-pro.slcij. The Leyvls depression position finder , the patents for which have only recently been Issued , Is believed by artillery officers to be the most accurate and practical Instrument yet devised for service me. The English service posltlcu finder has a maximum error of 1 per cent up to 1,000 yards , whHe the Instrument adopted 'by th War depart ment does not exceed this limit up la 10.000 yards , the normal effective range for effec tive firing frcm forts. The LewU Instru ment consists of a polished Iron table four feet Ki diameter , resting upon an Iron col- uan , and sup-porting a pivoted Iron travers ing arm , carrying all the other parts of the Instrument. In front the arm curves up- warJ , furiilshlng support for the horizontal axis of a fcrty-lnch telescope , magnifying twrn'y-flve diameters. The telescope Is raised and lowered 'by a crank operating a finely adjusted mechajjlsm at the eye end ; a-.id It Is swung around In azimuth l > y a larger crank , turnjrvj the travtrslug arm a'out en Its vlvot. The revolving of the traversing inn turns the friction roller of the azimuth measur ing devlc-e. t'ach revolution of the teller corresponds to olnc degrees of azimuth ; that Is , the roller revolves forty tlraea during a complete revolution of the telescope about the horizon. The roller has as at ? axis aet - tlcal Fiaft , turning two gear wheels one , the desree wheel , revolving with the tele scope ; the other , the minute wheel , nuking ft revolution tor each degree.

The range ivhrel Is protected by 0e cover , a iniall opening being made In Ute to show the rttvje. LOCATION OP THE FINDKHS. The Instrument IB net up In a protected station on a Tlso of ground overlooking the harbor. The higher above aea level the In strument stands the moro accurate will be the /readings. The Fort Monroe Instrument lisa been uw < l at on elevation of thirty feet , while the Instrument at the fort In San Fran- clt-co hatbor stands 400 feet above the sea. > . \t Sandy Hook In&truments will be placed on the pirapeti' ' , which average about fifty feet In height , and up In the llght-houac. In set ting up the finder great cure Is taken to make U perfectly level , o that the traversing arm may be swung about without changing the position of the bubble In the eplrtt-loveJLJt carries. When the Instrument has been act up the azimuth device Is fixed BO that It reads 0 when the telescope U directed along the meridian. The height of the horizontal axis above mean low tide Is accurately de > termlned by measurement. The telescope Is then directed on the water line of an object whoso exact range la known ; the altitude scale la adjusted to the known altitude and the range wheel to the known range. The elevating head li fixed when the range Id correctly read. In making the Instrument allowance ii made for the effect of the curva ture of the earth and the normal refraction , which la one-aoventh the effect of the cur- Nature. Under unusual atmospheric condi tions a correction Is made for abnormal re fraction by a micrometer attachment moving a line horizontal wire across the object glass. Each division of the mlciotneler scale corresponds spends to a movement of 1-10000 of an Inch. The correction Is made by directing the tele scope on an object of known range and turn- lug the micrometer iicrcw until the horizontal wlro cuts the water line of the object. A tide gauge , showing the height of the tide for every hour , Is posted near the Instrument , and it Intervals of an hour or less the ob server adjusts the altitude scale , keeping the length of the Instrument's vertical bate con stant. DUTY OF THE OPERATOR. To get the range and azimuth of an object the operator leaks through the telescope , and by means of the two c.anks brings the inter section of the vertical and horizontal wires on the point of the water line of the object to be aimed at. Upon the range wheel he reads the range In yarjls and upon the uzl- muth scales the azimuth in degrees an ! minutes ; : If the target Is moving he kcera the ' Intersection of the wires on It by turning the : cranks , the azimuth with his left hand and the elevating with his right , without taking his eye from the telescope. When the position finder station la not In the bat tery the tange and azimuth for the gune are found by a tecoml operator , who works a leplitter arm carried by tha haverslng arm. The .arm Is adjusted when the Instrument U set up so that It gives the , .corrected azimuth for the guns. At regular Intervals Uiu observer calls out the lunges. The nu- sUitunt slides a pointer along a icale arm to the range called and brings the replottcr arm In contact with the pointer , which at once shows the corresponding range for the gunu. Tetts at Fort Wadswo."th show that It is pccslblo to leplot the position of a moving target with respect to a gun at Intervals of ten seconds without hurry or confualon. When a e'agle Cattery Is watchlcit ; a war ship .lie battery commander takeo h'u place at the pcsltlon finder station , unless the station Is away from the battery , In which case the corrected ranges and azlmutln are sent to him at ten. twenty , cr thirty second. . ) later * a'a ' by telcpheno or tele-graph. When I the ship la first sighted her range an 1 | azimuth are marked on a plotting chart of ih3 harbor by another officer. An electric clock strikes the Intervals. At each bound j of the gong the observer calls out the range I and azimuth of the approaching Bhlp , and the chart officer marks down the succeralve pcsltlcas. When three observations have been- taken the chart officer plota the course of the eh'.p. The chart shows the location of the channels , and the plotting of the probable course of the chip Is a simple matter. The officer marks a provisional ccurse , to toe sustained or corrected by isub'equcnt readings from the Instrument , and the observation of the effects of the fire. At 'intervals ' along the course , within Ibe , range of the guns of the battery , he marks points , quickly calculating their positions and- the times when the bhtp will reach them. * - " I GETTIN6 READY. The battery commander , who , at tha first sight of the chip , wont to the speaking tubes and gave the officers In command of the gun letachments the command , "Load ! " now calls up each detachmeot officer in turn rod gives him the range and azimuth of one of the predicted positions plotted on the chart. Each gun officer swing * tiia gun around to the azimuth announced , by turn- lag a wheel until a pointer on the gun's azimuth dial reads the correct degrees toil minuted ; glancca at hlarange table , which sho\\-i the necessary angle of elevation for the rar.3o , and raises or loners the gun by turning another wheel until a pointer cci u graduated arc reads the eagle. He gives the necessary commands excepting "Fire ! " Stopwatth In hand , his mouth-it tbeepeak- tng tube to the first gun , the battery com mander waits until as many seconds .before the predicted time of the arrival of the ship at the predicted point as the projectile will be In the air , anJ then commands through the speaklni ; tube. "Fire ! " An oflicJr In the pcsltloii-findliig station observes the effect of the fire. If th& ship Is not struck. because of some miscalculation , the accessary cor rection Is made on the chart. Each gun b fired at the proper second of time and re loaded. The chart officer , meanwhile , has mada a more accurate plotting of the ship's course from the tea-second observations , and had a new point for each gun to be aimed at. The new positions are sent to the guns , and the firlncontlmues at regulir intervals , a new range and azimuth being cent to each Kun after It fires. Before the ship can open fire on the battery , she Is toore-d through and through * with high-ex plosive- shelLs and probably sunk. One foil I p is povverletB agalrut a battery of equal armament. IJy means of thu telescopic sights on the guns , the detachment olllcers may sight the guns on ships lying at anchor or coming directly toward the battery , the battery commanders calling out the ranges on ) } . When a fort made up pf batteries of guns of different power defend * a harbor against the attack of a fleet of bittlci'hlps. ' cruisern and torpedo boats , the control of the fire Is a large problem , requiring not only an elaborate system of communication te-tweca the officer of the flro command , the position finding etatlcau and the battery commanders anl the gune , but atao brilliant generalship on the part of thu officer in ulurge. Still greater U the problem when a flH't attempts to .force its way Into a harbor like New York's , protected on the south by 'batteries ' of ten and twelve-inch , guno. twelve-Inch I mortars : , rapid fire gfos and flftton-lnch | pneumatic | dynamite- gum at Kort Hancock , Sandy Hook ; battcrkii of ten anil twolvo- Inch mortats at Fort Hamilton ; batterlM of clfjit and toil-Inch Riina , twclvo-tnch mortars and torpedo tubes at Fort Wailsworlh ! n torpedo station at Plum lalnnd , and several submarine stations , commamltag a network of dynamlti * mlntis In the upper and lower bajs and the Narrows. The control of this great system of hart > or defenders requlrm goiiptalshlp of n high order. No shot miMl bo wasted. The flrefrom all the batteries muat bo o controlled that the tons of projectiles sail explosives fired ohall per form their maximum service. DIRKCTINO AN ATTACK. I , Should < t mrsp.iKo over the harbor c.tbto from Saudv Hook Inform the flro com j mander , at Fort \Vadnworth of the np- Dioich of u hostile fleet he would at oico gUo the orJer to prepare for attach , nnd thci take a position In his observa tion I'tatlon ' wl h the officers detailed us hla nldcs. The offlccr In cliarce of the position \ flnJer station and his ftcslHtatit * would take I the i posts In the finder station , whllo the I battery I commanders would take their nlaecs In the stations nrovldod for them. The annraachlntr fleet would bo observed bv the flro commander , with the aid of a D3wcrful tclcscone. and lie would di-tor- mlno the name nnd r-htrnr-trr of ui many of the ships of the licet an possible by ref erence to hla list of warships. Soon the twelve-Inch guns and mortars at Fort Hancock would ouen flro nt long range , and ' the fire commanders at Forts Wd- wnrth and Hamilton would await the result of the bjttlo between the fifty great guns" and morions at the Hook and the attuck- lue fleet. Somn of the swiftest nnd most hcavllv armrred cruiser * and LaUleghlnn I mlcht ' succeed In runulnir through thu ter I rible : flro from the Hook. Then from across the lower lav would dirt out swift sub- nuilne destroyers , carrying heavy charges of gun cotton , and the forts < * > n the Nar rows would unnurn for Ihn attack. Not until the adxanco shins of the enemy were well Inslilp the Hook wouU the guns of the upper batteries be effective. The Kcneral commander In rlmrce of the fire routiol of the haibor forts , from his ya- tlon at Fort Hancock 'would telegiaph Urine directions to the fire commanders at Wadsw-orth and Hamilton. "Fort Wadfworth will direct Its fire on the battlCBhln IVIa\o and the r-rulscr Viz- cava. " the mesrace to the fire commander might read.

The fact that "bock beer" U on sale at this time suggests 'the inquiry , " why Is It on sale at this particular time , * nd why la It callel t > oek or seat Oeer ? " Various ex- 'Plsnationi ' are to lie had , and the majority of them -are entirely unsatisfactory , some borderina > on the ridiculous. The most satisfactory , accordlog to the Nebraska Liquor Dealer , li that "bock "beer" was originally a strong Bavarian Ixxsr. differing In the Ingredients from -which It is brewed from the ordinary lager 'beer ' , and contains a larger per cent of alcohol , till U consequently more Intoxicating in Its effects. 'Formerly ' it was brewed In the nuiv.h of December , when the sun is in the zodiacal sign called Caprlcornus , or the cequa-goat , the mjthlcal animal into which the god "Pan" was chained when chased Into the river Nile by the Titans , and was there fore called beck or goat beer. Whether It was brewed with special refer ence to the Easter seascii , and made moro Intoxicating to. increase the joy of that pe riod , or not , it rlpenej andnvas ready 'far ' use about that time , and consequently made Its appearance upcn the market then. With 'modern ' cold storage , of course this quality of beer could tie put upon the market at any season of the jear , but Its appelranco about this time Is In accordance with ths old German custom. "Easter" Is UeflveJ from the Anglo-Saxcn "Eastre , " the , goddess of light , or spring , whose festival was celebrated In April by our pagan aucestcrx with great Ilceatlousctas. and occurred at the same time with the JewUh " 1'asnovcr. " It U probable that the beer brewed In Decem ber , which ripened at this perioJ , was made moro Intoxicating eit purpose .to suit this occasion and derhtd Its name from the sign of the goat ! n the Zodiac , or from the dissolute god "Pan , " who waa represented an wearing a goat's horns and hlnduartcrs | , or , in other words , half goat and halt man.
