KEEP OF BIG GUNS COSTLY Good for Ono Hundred hafa Earl at aa Ksnenso of One Then sand Dollars. "When a Mg gun is mad It becomes t perpetual charge on the expense acconnl of the government." remarked the Inspec tor of naval ordnance. "It costs a lot U make It, too, to try it when It Is mountet snd Its extreme limit of life Is 100 shots. The largest guns we nmke now are twelve Inch. They are from forty to fifty fee' long and the weight of the gun will ceu It to droop and In a few years render II useless. It has to be sent back to tin ordnance yard nt Intervals to have 111 rifling 'trued tip." "Even the toughest steel with tha high est elastic limit and greatest . tenallt strength will bend under Its own weight If you support a bar of steel even a fw Inches long nt both end for n long timi It will curve down In the center to A de gree that can not Indeed be detected with out the nld of precise Instruments, but H will toko a perniHiienl set, and n gun doei the same thing In u greater measure. ' "When we try n gun at tnV Indlin H'sd proving grounds near Annapolis. Md., lh avmor mnkers furnish the piste, the gun maker the gun, the shcllmakera the pro jectile mul the government the. powder. The IoIhI coat of n shot la approximately 11, OiiO, and we usually fire three shots it different dltiices. " "The shell ia rasc-hnrdenrd nt Its point ' and now carries a charge i f oleag riouj graphite In Its nose, which hrenks nt th moment of Impart and oils the hole In t lie armor. The patent on that prnphlte :chou cost the government .V).nno. The shell sim ply bores Its wsy through the armor ant Its progress Is aided materially by .'he graphite. The navy exacts armor that can't be pierced and shells that will go through anything, so we have about arrived at the paradox of an Irresistible force meeting an impenetrable body. "As a result the few makers of this hleh quality of steel are now iible to furnish from the plants constructed under the fostering care of the government a much higher grado of steel to the trndo tlnn ever before. The tensile strength and the rlastlc limit of steel have been raised in the general market from 60,000 pounds a square Inch to 275,000 for one and from 45.000 to 1S5.000 pounds a square Inch for the other within a few years, and thlli Is an indirect result of the government's ex actions. "It's seldom a gun Is fired after It Is mounted. Gun pointers are used for drill and once or twice a year the gun i usej for actual target practice and. fired once or possibly twice. But it Is too expensive a machine to use for practice when there are exact way of testing the range anil accuracy of trlangulatinn and the knowrt qualities of the powder and other factors that apply to it and which are preserved from the first test."
