The first cs entinl step in tire modern navy
Vvns the eonstriirllon nI the modern high
power rifles , requLring h ) their design a high
order of rnnthernstlenl ability and an Intl.
mnto knowledge at the ehnracterlatics of
modern steel. All guns in the navy hnvo
hcen designed by Prot. t'hlllp it. Alger , a
former gradunlo of Annnnolis who has ainco
been transferred to the corps of the professors -
fessors of rnnlhemntics In the navy and who
1s the hlghw t nulhorlty on ordnetnee mal-
tera In this country , it not In the world.
Prot Alger received a dlploma from the
\Vorld's fair commission for his system of
gun construetlon , now In use In the nary.
In order to make these guns emcient
methods had to be dovtsed for handling them
I (
I ° on hoard ship ; opening and closing tow
turning n crank , cnn unlock from the hrcech
of the gut Its Pdug , weighing 1,1110 pound. ,
wlthdr.ew It to the rcnr , and swung It clear
In coven seconds.
Finally , dlr. Fletcher Is the inventor of a
rnpld-fire gin , which Is now the standard
of the navy , life device Is being used on
nil the three-inch , four-Inch , Ove-Inch and
six-Inch guns in the service.
Just befpre the war with Spain began
Secretary Long recommended to congress an
spproprintlon to build a big powder fnctory
for making the smokeless powder. At thn
same time he annpunced that a satlsfaclory
smokeless powder had been made aft r many
years of experiment and that this powder
w is anterior to the smokeless powder made
nhrond , "Lleulcuant J , ! 1 Bernadou showed
apeclat aptitude for this work and capacity
for the solution of the problems ! nrolvea
In the prosecution of experimental rrork of
this nature , " said the report of the In3pee-
tor In charge of the torpedo station at New-
porL This Iieutenant Bernadon is now at
Key \Vest recorering from womida re-
celved while In command at the 1'Inslnw at
Cardenas. It was in fact lieutenant Berua-
dou and Commnntier G. A. Conver r , nnw
In command of the Montgomery , who Invented -
vented the smoicdcaa powder just ndopted
by the Wavy department. The navy Is
particularly proud of this achievement. For-
elgu governments po3iess a smokeless powder -
der , but It contains nitro-glycerine , uhlch
makes It unreliable and dangerous , and be.
eldr3 develops a high heat which soon
Ito conceived the ides of the douhin turret ,
having an eight-Inch turret plnced on top
of a thirteen-Inch turret a. uaed on the
baltksbips Kenranrge and Kentucky , which
were launched not long ago at Newport
Now'e ,
II lehborn' , I.Ife Itnoy.
Chief Constructor Philip Itichtmrn Invented -
vented the Franklin life buoy and sold it tea
a concern in Ilath , Me. It is a elf-
lighting buoy. Two small tin cases attached
la It contain phosphide of calcium. Stoppers
to these cases are attached to the ship so
that when the buoy is thrown Into the water
Urn stoppers are withdrawn and when the
buoy strikes the water the combination of
the chemical with the water makes a bright
flame.
Lieutenant Very , late of iho navy , devised
a set of signnis which are now In use not
only In our navy , but in all the navies of
the world. Lieutenant Herbert 0. Dunn In-
vcnted a stockless anchor which la in use
on some nnvd vessels , Lieutenants Van
Dozer and Mason were the inventors of rat
Ingenious electric steering gear. Lieutenant
ilske and Lieutenant Lucien Young are the
Joint Inrentora of a boat-detaching np-
parntus. Chief Engineer Ilarrlc Webster invented -
vented a clinometer , used to determine the
angle of roll of a ship. Chief Engineer
Nathan P. Towne Is the Inventor of an Improved -
proved bolter , Lieutenants DIeh1 and Gibson -
son are Inventors of a "compensating
binnacle , " designed to neutralize limo
mngnetisun of a steel ship'n hull. Passed

To perfect lheso devices iii foreign navies
the governments have hail to pay millions j
of dollars for improvements and inventions )
that tooled to muko their guns and ships
more poverful In their kcen cnnlpelllioa
q I for supremacy. In this country , tin , hemet
t , of the inventor , our government has paid
little or notluing. Nearly every hnprove-
ment has been invaded by Its navnl oilicer3.
One instance of a naval otlicer who received
compensation for an invention was that of
' " , Chief Constructor Wilson , now retired , la
1r whom the Navy departnent paid $10,000 for
an air port Idnge , glut most of the work
of naval ollicers' brains has been given to
¼ the government free ,
] low much the inventive fatuity of Its
) , kcen-miuled omcers has meant to the Navy
department is illustrated In the case of Lieutenant -
tenant Frank P , Fletcher , now on duty in
the Ordhamcu bureau. It was said at a
.t hearing before a conmtlteo of tlm senate
, last winter , on a bill to give naval hmventorr
compensation , that a gun-mot of Atr.
FIetcher's had saved limo government more
i
than $500,000 , All rapid-fire guns are now
puced ! on this gun-mount nod time \'orlds
i fair connnission awarded It a diplena.
Ilrlefly described and without technical
terms this gun-mount is the application of
a
ball-bearings to the upper carriage of time
j gun , with a hymh nulie check to tak0 tun the
recoil after llriig and n spiral spring to return -
turn It to its place. There is ulso olevat-
lag and training gear of a complicated character -
actor ,
Mlrteht r'M .itemlurt'i Iloan.
Mr , Fletcher is the inventor of several
other di'tti'es. One of ghee Is a breech
mechanism for heavy guns , This mechanism
is used for handling all the heavy breech
plugs , weighing from 500 pounds to halt n
ton , of our 8-Inch , 10-inch , 12-mtclr and 13.
inch guns , The army has also revuully
adopted It. These plugs were formerly
handled by hydraullo machinery , but Fletch-
er's devlco enabled this to be .lone by hanil
power by one man , So successful sus the
device that ono luau , whim his left hand
ruins the gun. All counttcs have. bean
working for the ideal smokeless powder containing -
taining no nitro-glycerine and we are the I
first to get it. As In many other matter3 ,
our Navy department stayed behind Earape'
)
In the adoption of a smokeless powder until
w1) hail one that was perfect.
Lieutenant 11 , A. Fisle : , a proliflc inventor
in electric devices , made some years ago a
range finder for automatically ihnding distances -
tances at sea. It is one of the most useful
contrivances et shipboard and Is worth an
immense sum to the navy. Amothcr of
Lieutenant Fislme's inventions was the StaJi-
m eter-a very clever modification of the
sextant , by which it ! s possible to meanuro
the distance of a ship from the height
of Its mast or smokestack. Still nnothcr
was a range Indicator-an electrical device
for signaling ( rein the conning tower to time
gnu captain the direction and dislamco of
the enemy. This Is fitted on nearly all
our ships ,
Sigabre nn luventur.
Captain Sfgsbea of time St. I'iu1 is an in-
ventor. Time navy now uses a deep 5ca
sounding apparatus and parallel rulera for
navigation of his invention.
Lieutenant 1)ashiell ) hmvenled n tn'cech
nnechnnismmm whlclI teas n great Improvement
on all that had preceded It. It was ndopled
by the Navy departmnant in 1893 and was im- I
lroduced on many rapid-fire guns. This device -
vice cabled thu titan at the breech of the
gun to do with one mutton what had mu-
ways taker two. In time old breech mechmm- I
j
ieum the plug had to hit turned with one
mnolion until ft unlocked mml then svfthdrawn
with"hnother motion. , Rut by an arrangement -
ment of cogs Lieutenant Bashicll made the
pull of a lever turn the plug until it was
unlocked and then withdraw it. The reverse -
verso nation of time lever drove time plug
honto and then turned It until it locked.
Thin iashieli mechnnism has been supplanted -
planted by time Fletcimcr mechanismm , but it
is still to be found on sonic rapid-fire gums ,
Lteutumamt , II. uriggs and Lloutennnl
Seaton Schroeder are tie inventors of a
rapid-lire nlechianisui which is of limo same
class as Lime well lmww n liolehkiss gun. It
is applied to 1-pounder amid G-pouoder
guns , Timis iliven ttomm Is awned by a -
vate corporation , unlike most of the navy
Inventions which belong to time government.
Conunodoro Jolm A. Unwell is the inventor -
ventor of time automobile torpedo , which
bents life name. Its inechanhmn consisted
clrlefly of a heavy cog-wheel mnde to revolve -
volvo rat a high rate of speed before time
torpedo is put iii the water. Connnodore
Howell sold this Invention to the liotchkies
company msud for a time drew u royalty on
it. Of late it has been supplanted by ( lie
\Vlitchend torpedo ,
Lieutenant Joseph Strauss is time inventor
of lmpruvcmvnta fm muunling turret guns.
