Tho Monster Twelve Inch Rifles Are

In the manufacture of big guns the
engineer has certainly achieved some
of bis most daring conquests, for tt Is
doubtful tr there Is anything more
wonderfully Cushioned or scleutillcully
constructed than the mounter weapons
found on the Intent battleships and In
large forts.
From their muzzles they arc capable
of launching Into space shells weigh

of thirty-five miles a minute, or 2,100
miles an hour. These death dealing

As It would lie impossible to slip the

heating them. The work, however, re

cool at tiio ends llrst. and cause the
central part of the IiiIh to cool In a

such it thing happening one part Is

That the shell may tntrel "business
end" foremost throughout Its Journey It
must be given a twisting motion round
its axis In other wolds, be made to
spin. This rotation prevent Its turn
ing head over hce.s. as it undoubt
edly would do- if not spinning, and
makes it travel farther and more ac
curately. The .spinning motion . Is
brought about by rilling the cutting
of spiral grooves in tlie bore., or' In
side of the. gun. This Is iloni by n
long, hollow steel rod. which carries
three tools lit the end and cuts three
grooves lit once
An the rilling i-oines so near the
end of tile manufacture of n bg gun
it must lie conducted with the great
est cure, for a single badly out groove
would spoil the gnu. now representing:
perhaps $siO.nn in work mid material.
Indeed, extreme care and accuracy
characterize every process In the mak

'The active life of a gun Is mate-up
