All navies are prepared to iiiako trials of these. We , however , have : three war ships of our own 'invention which i are tiiililco anything else afloat , and each of which s an experiment pure and simple. ' Tue Vcsnvliis hurls big torpedoes through the air. The Kataluhin Is an enormous , swordfish anti destroys Its enemy Bwordflsh- fashion. The Plunger , if successful , the . most deathly of thorn all , moves wholly t under water and shoots its prey from be- 7 low , or else. stidtleiily rising to the surface , thros a dyiiainlte shell at hini at close range. The Vesuvius was built about nine years ago. It. Is uractically a heatIng gun carriage , 212 feet long and drawing about ten feet of vater , sothat It can steam over shoals where heavier ships cannot follow It. It I can catch anytliliig but the fasteat cruisers . and the torpedo boats. it has three 15- inch guns. which are not guns , but mere r tubes set iii it hull anti projecting above I Its forccastle'at a fixed angle. Out of these It throws heils seven feet long , each con- a tabilng about 600 pounds of high CXl)1OSlVC. Tue propelling force is air compressed to : about 1,000 1)01111(13 ) per iquare inch as ad- rnitted to the tube , antI thIs hurls the pro- ji'ctlles for a distance of two miles or , vIthi accuracy , over a range of one mile. One such shell will urohably utterly wreck a : battleship if it hilts It. Even If It does not t actually strike Its explosion llfty feet lion- zontally distant from the hull may so rack the Bhul ) as to destroy its ' maneuvering power and nender It n helpless target. More ' than that , o great a concUssion In close proximity nia'y detonate the high cxjIolves on board the vessel itself through "syin , pathy , " or play wholealo havoc with Its ) crew. Eighteen hundred poulids of nlti'o- I glycerine can be thrown by this terrible WCfllOfl every tWo minutes , or , if the guns be tliscltarged singly. a GOO-loUfld shell can be fired every fifty seconds. , J'It J)3111t1l , itt' CntIsi'r. The tests which were made soiiio years ago of the powers of the Vesuvlus were not conclusIve-mainly owing to the tilihiculty In nrrnnglng a fuse which would Insure the ( vroer eXiIOsifJIt of the projectiles.
