"Tho fruzlllnn government fitted up time Nlctheroy in New York with one small dynamite gun. Its coining was reported by telegraph as It approached time lirazillan coast. It steamed into Rio Jmtehfo harbor nrut cleared for action. There was nothing to fire at. The mere netts of its advent put the revolters to flight. , "Time Vesuvius has not one small dynamite - mite gun , but It has three big cues. Thplr caliber is fifteen inches. I can give you a suggestion of lbelr force. There are three fifteen-inch dynamite guns at the I'residlo near San Frmmclsco , As a test one of these guns sent a projecttlo containhig 200 pmuds of nitro gelatine across the Golden Gale into one of the mountatne , one mile away. Time explosion 'of this shell dug a crater In limo solid rock thirty-five feet deep and sixty-five feet fn diameter. Of course it must not be forgotten that the Vesuvius is using guncotton , Guncotton is only one- fifth as strong as ma ro gelatine , "Whero a shflr s Ikea from one of the guns of the Vesuvl is time havoc Is awful , One ' of Its projecllleq drppped In the mnldst of a regiment would elliulnatd it train the war. Against a ship the Vesuvius would be deadly. One of its Tg shells dropping on the deck would crush through time armor part and would shatter the ship. If one of these shells exploded within fifty feet of a modern man-of-war It will render It use- less. for the detonation will throw the bear- lag of its enghmes out of line , dIslocate time shaft , and thus the ship will becme a mere target" Many of the leading arllllerlels of the nrnty are in favor of using high exploslyes , and In their commmnlcatlons to the War department have advocated its more ox- tenelya use. The only thing deterring them Is the absence of a convenient as well as a fitting umeane of tiring lt.

It never was given any sort of a real test and was utterly condemned by 1 navel omcers for no reason at all. It was only after time hardest klad of a fight that 1 the government could be induced to build it and It was a stepchild and was blamed with everylhlmg. About four years ago the board In Washington concluded It was useless - less and decided to tear out Its dynamite guns and turn it into a little gunboat. For- tunntely they had no money available wllh I which to dismantle nail refit it , and it lay around awaiting destruction until the l war broke out and there was such a demand for vessels that It had to be put In commisslnn. I hear that oven after Its arrival at Sanllago its commander had to beg to be allowed to l have a shot at the Spaniards , and he was finally permitted to fire just three shots , one froth each of its gurms , The results seem to Im'o been remarkably successful , I bey Ilevo It will create a revolution in naval warfare , at least with regard to vessels of Its size and kind. " Chief Englneer Albert Dtxon of the Naval Auxlllary board , now In thistclty examining yachts and tugs for the coast defense fleet , served several months on the Vcsuvlus. Most naval omeers , " said he , "have a prejudice against the Veauvius at first , but after they have served on It they get to like it. I put la tour mmntila on it. Our duty was destroying deroll .te. It has three guns , coming out at an angle of 30 degrees. They I are fifty-four feet long and fifteen : oft of ithat length protrudes above deck.

Time guns llfemselves cannot be moved. The extreme , range Is three or four tulles , but the eflectlve range Is not more than a mile and a half.
