STEEL FOR ARTILLERY.
Tremendous Pressure the Barrels ef
Big Cuns Must Bear.
Modern high powered guns could not
be built without steel strong tiougIi to
resist the "enormous pressures to which
I hey are subjected. IVw understand
how great these pressures ane almost
as far beyond ordinary comprehension
as are the distances of the Mars or the
number of atoms in a j:lass of water.
An atteiupt to state the matter in a
form that will mean sometliin to the
ordinary mind is made by a contribu
tor to La Nature in an nrti' le cntiih-d
"The Strains -Resisted ly iun Metal."
He writes:
"When tlie marvels of modern artil
lery are described perhaps we direct
our admiration too exclusively to the
mechanicians who have combined to
construct ft. We must not, however,
forget the metallurgist, for it is owing
to the astouishing qualities of the metal
that the gun is so well able to resist
the enormous strain due to t!ie detona
tion of the explosive.
"It is interesting to cite here some
figures published by Commandant Keg
nault. At ea h discharge of a gun. in
the case of our tield pieces, in less than
three-tenths of a seeoml the pressure
exceeds twenty tons to the stpiare inch,
and tlie speed of the projectile leaving
the muzzle is-more than '2.Ai feet a
second.
"Tlie energy developed may be put
at about f0),0)0 foot iounds. In oth
er words, considering the cannon as a
motor working during an exceedingly
short time, we may place its rating at
about 2U,OtjO.(HM horsepower.
"Not only must the metal be made to
resist these strains time after time, but
to do so under unfavorable conditions,
such as tlie high tempera ires produc
ed by the explosives. Ami not only
must the metal of the gun be as strong
as this, but it is the same with that of
the shell. The shell of our 'seventy
five supports a pressure estimated at
seventeen tons. The work of the tie
vice that takes up the recoil reaches
about twelve tons to the square inch,
and the mount neutralizes at each dis
charge about two tons.
"In fact, these conditions ate realiz
ed in quite a remarkable way. It has
been possible to test in the machine
shop the pieces of a battery that has
fired several thousand shots ami to
show that they have suffered not the
slightest deformation.
"This is why it is necessary to cm
ploy special steels. The use of nickel,
in proportion of 1 per cent to - per
cent, gives to steel special qualities.'

LIKE A SUBMARINE
The Fur Seal In Many Ways Re
sembles an Undersea Boat.
ITS HABITS IN THE WATER.
Although It Can Swim Only When
Submerged and Must Rise to the
Surface Every Few Minutes, It Is a
Marvel of Speed.
We have tome to regard the soaring
albatross or the condor as the proto
type of the aeroplane. When we IojI;
for a natural model for the submarine
we find it well made in the body of thj
fur seal and fully suggested ly its
method of progression in tlie sea. for it
travels there only when wholly sub
merged. Unlike, however, the "unterseebote."
the fur seal is not fitted for swimming
on the surface; it only rises there to
survey, to breathe and to sleep. It
never attempts to swim with head
above water on any course, no matter
how short. It rises when 'undisturbed
or not alarmed, looks about with hea.l
and neck well stretched up above the
surface of the sea. iills its lungs with
air "literally compressed i. turns its
head down and with p.s powerful an
terior dippers dries itself below tlie
surface to the depth of live or ten feet,
then ahead on that level. Thus sub
merged the body of the seal glides
through the water as swiftly as a s.val
low in tlie air it is a vanishing stie.ik
to our eyes.
How long it remains thus submerged
when traveling no one has any definite
knowledge, but the -best consensus of
opinion gives it a rise at intervals of
every three or four minutes to breathe
that Is. a pause of less than two or
three seconds, with barely more thau
its nose and eyes above the surface,
for exhalation and renewed inhalation
when down gees the trim body to
speed ahead again.
When our submarines were first
brought out a trip of more than "'.!,)
miles from base was the utmost limit
of their cruising. Today they have
been so perfected that they can cruise
safely more than :;,j miles from that j
base. Therefore in this connection it
is interesting to know that the fur seal j
makes a submarine journey in the '
north Pacific ocean of cnore t '.inn ."i.VK ;
miles from its base o:i the I'ribilof is- ;
lands, in Ilering sea, and then returns, j
An animal which can not only make 1
such an extended journey, but can
steer its course over an uncharted
waste from point to point, month by
month, with positive regularity and in
perfect time, must be a line type of
swimming machine, and it is.
There is to be observed a close re
semblance between the cigar shaped
submarine boat and the body form of
the fur sea!. As we view them lateral
ly, this resemblance is complete. They
are both driven ahead by feathering
screws, and thev are both Kept on the
level of their submerged course at a j
given distance below the surface by
rudders. I

are all that it ever lifts above the sul
fate when startled and in flight of
passage.
Again we note that the fur seal as
a submarine has a great advantage
over the human boat it has eyes that
can look ahead ami around under wa
ter how far we do iut know, but It
is reasonable to assume that the seal's
eye can see as fat under water as the
eye of a camera can, which we have
the evidence of iu good records.
1 hen. to. it also has an a-ute sense
of bearing under sea. for we know that
the whirring of a propeller's screw
will drive all the seals away for miles
around a steamer. We know that be
cause some of the early pel: gie seal
ing vessels were titted with Miiall aux
iliary screws, and these, when put into
use. had to be removed.
With reference to the powers of de
struction, of course our fur s,:al boat
has no torpedo tubes, but it can and
does "shoot its mouth off at fish with
a deadly certainty.
In this connection it is interesting to
note that seals do not catch tish by
pursuit of them not at all. They
shoot down from alJbve upon the bucks
or up from below to strike at the bel
lies of their tinny -prey.
How fast these phocine submarines
can speed up under the stimulus of
excitement or fear no one knows. But
it is well known when a vessel is com
ing down before a gale of wind from
the islands, logging fourteen to sixteen
knots, that a bevy of fur seals will of
ten follow the ship for hours and re
peatedly swim by it, swim around Jt
and then renew the chase and circling
of it. Henry W. Elliott in New York
