Amrrlraa Navy Will Have
Hun of Twsair-rive
Miles.
Advices have been received at Washing
ton to the effect that the giant H-lnch
breech-loading gun being built at the
works of the Mldvala Steel company of
Philadelphia for the Navy department, and
v.blch when completed will be the largest
and most powerful naval weapon In the
world, will be delivered toward the end of
September. If the delivery Is prompt Us
official tests may be conducted at the
naval proving grounds at Indlaa Head,
aid., In October or November.
There 1m a great ls-mch gun at Beady
Houk proving grounds, built under the
aueplcea ot the -ordnance department of the
ajmy tbuut eight years ago. aad from
which only a few shots have been fired. It
le the largest In the world today. . Thir
teen. 14 and even llncb guns have bees
built la some foreign navtes, but that was
years Mow before modem rdaaoo
reached anything like the excessive pres
sures and temperatures such as arc used
in the modern 12-inch weapons using cor
dite or smokeless powder. When thj 12
lnch gun came Into fashion as a more
powerful weapon than the old 13-Inch gun
of our own navy and the UH-lnch gun
of the old Royal Sovereign class of battle
ships In the BrttisU nejr, the construction
of the larger elsed bore oeased.
Comparative 8 lees.
The. contract for the 14-Inch gun was
swarded to the Mldvala company in Jan
uary of this year, and the award requires
Its delivery within forty-two weeks, or by
November t. ISO). Rapid headway has
been mads with the gun, which is now
very aearly completed. The gun itself will
weigh CXI tons, or ten tons more than the
11-Inch guns of tt-eaJlber length that have
been built for the battleships North Da
kota and Delaware. The new gun will be
about sis tons heavier than the latest type
ot tO-callber 12-lnch guns intended for the
Arkansas and Wyoming. Its total length
will be fifty-three and one-half Test, or
three more feet. longer than the latest 12
lnch gun. The capacity ef the chamber of
the now gun will bo 2kM2 eublo tncaes, this
being the eotnportmsnt in which there
will bo placed the cbarg of M pounds of
smokeless powder, which it is estimated
will bo required to discharge the powerful
now projectile, weighing 1.400 pounds,
which the new gun will fire. The weight
of the pro)eeUlea now used In the big 12
inch guns of the American navy is 170
pounds. That of the British 12-lnch guns
is 2G0 pounds, and of the German 11-Inch
guns of Krupp manufacture, 3fl0 pounds, so
that the shot projected from this new
American 12-lnch gun will weigh (30
pounds more than the most powerful 11
Inch gun now in the service of the Ameri
can fleet on the target grounds below the
Virginia capes. Stated another way, the
new shell weighs more than half a ton and
will be as tall as a man. After It is fired
the shell will travel a distance of 642 Inches
within the bore of the gun. There the
grooved rifling of the gun will Impart a
rotating motion, which will make the shell
spin around rapidly on Its flight through
the air and prevent the huge projectile
from turning on end and losing its force.
Skcll'e Speed Half Mile Seeood.
This new 14-Inch gun will have an ex
treme range of over twenty-five miles, al
though the range at which it would fire in
actual battle would be about 9,000 yards,
or five miles. The range of naval battles
has more than trebled since the Spanish
American war. Then It was thought that
battles on the sea would bo fought at
1,900-yard range. Quns were butlt accord
ingly. All heavy American naval guns are
now built powerful enough to engage the
enemy at five miles distance. The LjO
pound ah ell from this new gun will leave
the muscle of the weapon at a rate of
2,800 feet per second of time and Its muxxle
energy will be S&.fcM-foot tons. This is
about 1X000 more foot tons of muxxle en
ergy than that designed for the latest 12
injh guns, and about 22,000-foot tons more
of musale energy than that of the 4&-callber
12-lnch guns now In actual service on the
target grounds. 80 great la the penetra
tive power from the new 1,400-pound shell
when fired with a full load of 266 pounds
of powder from the new 14-lnch gun that
the projectile will be able to penetrate 22.7
Inches of the latest Krupp steel armor at
the mussle. This would be equivalent to
a penetration of not less than twenty-five
Inches of Harvey nickel steel at the muxxle.

FLYING NOT . SO DANGEROUS
Not Slna-le Bad Accident Recorded
at the Late Aviation Meet
t Rhelms.
A remarkable feature of the International
aviation meet at Rhelms is the fact that
the week closed without a single fatality
or serious accident. Compared with the re
cent automobile races this record Indicates
that It la eaftr to ride In the air than it Is
to sped on land. At the Indianapolis races
there was a loss of seven lives and the
Brighton Beach races ended with two fa
talities. Only one life has been lost in a power
driven air craft thus far. That one death
occurred at Fort Myer last September when
Lieutenant Thomas Selfrldge was killed In
the Orvllle Wright accident. Both Llllen
thal and Pllcher lost their lives in experi
menting with gliders, and Israel Ludlow
suffered a broken back. It Is also a fact
that accidents in submarine navigation
have been far greater than In aerial flight.
The Increase in skill manifested by the
thirty-five aviators at Rhelms is also re
markable. It was thought a very short
time ago that only a Wright could operate
a Wright machine. But the progress of
the last few months has dispelled that no
tion. Thus Roger Sommer began trials
on July S at Chalons and on Auerust 7
wnsltd from Wilbur Wricht the laurels
gained by the latter In his recent flight
December 21, when he remained in the air
2 hours 20 minutes and 23 seconds. Sommer
flew 2 hours 27 minutes and 15 seconds. He
used a Farman biplane.
At Rhelms Paulhan, another newcomer.
In a flight of 82 miles took the record from
Sommer and held It for one brief day,
when Latham, another comparatively new
aviator, snatched It in a flight of K miles,
to be overshadowed the next day by Far
man, who made a record of 112 miles by
remaining In the air 3 hours 4 minutes M
seconds.
Latham was practically unheard ot until
this summer. ' He quickly came Into gen
eral notice on account of his daring. Rather
than disappoint his spectators he took, all
sorts of chances and braved all conditions
of winds It was his attempt to cross the
English channel that gave him worldwide
attention.
Paulhan. who is 21, first Interested him
self In heavier than air machines about
two years ago on the occasion of an aero
plane model competition, in which his
model won the prize, a Volstn aeroplane.
The young mechanlo was unable to afford
a motor with which to drive the machine
and he Intrusted it to the care of the Vols
sln brothers. A few weeks ago he ob
tained a Gnome motor and at the first at
tempt flew S00 yards at Bar-sur-Aube. On
July 1 he mads a flight at Doual and rose
to 160 feet, beating Wilbur Wright's record
for height.
Less than one year ago a right of one
hour was regarded with wondor. Orvllle
Wright, at Fort Myer, on September , J'JOJ,
was the first aviator to remain aloft for an
hour. He mads a record of 1 hour and I
minutes. On September 21 Wilbur zooeded
this record by a flight of 1 hour and 81
seconds. A list recently compiled for ths
Aero Club of America shows that within
less than a year the have been thirty,
nlno flights or more than one hour In dur
