LOADING Tni3 GREAT 12-INOII
THE testing of the great guns enst
for use In the American navy and
the coast defenses 2s an Interest
ing featuro of the stations at Sandy
Hook and Norfolk. No gun Is ever
placed "In commission" until Ha capaci
ty has been thoroughly approved by tho
most rigorous tents. If defective In
material or construction theso testB will
reveal the weakness. If they fall to
carry shot or shell the prescribed dis
tance and with perfect accuracy the
guns are thrown back upon the hands
of the makers and new ones demanded
In their stead. The manner of making
the tests Is thoroughly systematized,
and, though simple, are not susceptible
to error In even the slightest degree.
No clock ever was made flue enough to
denote the minute fragments of time
that arc occupied In the flight of a shot
from a modem, high-powered weapon.
The best stop-watch In the world Is
many hundred time. too slow to do It.
Even If one could he made lino enough
for tho purpose the tilekcst man In
tho world couldn't stop It In time. Be
fore tho sharpest eye hud paused tho
knowledge to the nimblest brain, and
that In turn had passed the command
to the quickest linger that ever moved,
a half-ton of metal would have hit Its
goal ten miles away. Ordunnco olll
corn have to deal not with half seconds
or eighth seconds, but with the one
thousandth part of n second. In tho
ofllco In .Sandy Hook Is a queer Instru
ment of polished steel. Day after day
It records Instants of time too small for
the mind even to conceive. To measuru
nud record the one-thousands of a sec
ond Is play for it- It Is always sot to
do that. Hut It can measure u millionth
part of n second.
Yet the work of recording tho courso
of a big shot Is beautifully simple. Tho
real work, that demands many years of
preparation and study, Is to know what
to do with the records after you have
them.
So simple and perfect arc tho method
that It Is entirely possible on Sandy
Hook to record tho speed of u projectile
In every Toot of Its course, If such
knowledge wero necessary, which It Is
not.
As one stands by tho long lino of
taper cannon one can seo largo frnmo
supports scattered at uniform distances
down the range. Each of them Is hung
with wires nud looks a great deal llko
tho weighted wires hung over railroad
tracks Just In front of overhead ob
structions to tap forgetful trainmen on
top of freight earn gently and warn
them that a "low bridge" demands an
Immedliito duck If they wish to reach
tho other Hide of tho obstruction with
their heads where they belong. All
theso wires nro electric and each Is
connected with Instruments In tho
olllce. Ah tho flying projoctllo breaks
them they record tho fact Instantly.
When n gun Is tried nt Sandy Hook
every Item of Its behavior must bo re
corded. What pressure does the pow
der develop In the chamber? With what
violence does tho gun recoil? What
speed does tho projectile develop In tho
boro bet ore It leaves tho muzzle? What
speed does It develop within a second
after leaving tho gun? What Is 1M sus
tained speed nt various distances from
the gnu?
When a gun Is to bo tested, after all
Its parts have been Inspected carefully
and cleaned and oiled small copper
plugs aro tltted In little holes In the
breech. These aro pressuro plugs.
When the powder explodes It com
presses them uud thus Is recorded ex
actly tho pressure exerted In tho pow
der chamber.
After the plugs are In a wire Is fitted
over the muzzle. It connects with ono
of the Instruments In the olllce ami
Air. Mooily'H l'loturo.
At tho time of the great tiro In Chi

was living In that city, and had Just
returned to ills House ror a nigtu s rest,
when tho cull came for him and his
neighbors to hurry uwny. The tiro had
crossed the river, aud was rapidly ad
vancing.
It wus too lute to think of removing
any heavy articles, but one thing Mrs.
Moody determined to save a portrait
of her husband, presented to him by
the urtlst, Healy. This she prlzetl
above everything else the house con-
tnlnod. A stranger who had entered
the room helped her to take It down
from the wall. Then the wife called
her htisbaud uud begged him to tavo It
for her,
Notwithstanding the horror of the
sit tuition uud the Increasing terrors of
the night, the ludicrous side of the
mutter ut once uppealed(to Mr. Moody.
"Take my owu picture!" bald he.
"Well, that would be a great Joke.
Suppose somebody meets nie In tho
street und ays. 'Hullo, Moody, glad
you've escaped! What's that you've
paved und ure eliuglng to so affection
utely?' Wouldu't It sound well to an
bwer. 'Oh, I've got by owu portrait!' "
No enmaty could move him; but the

RIFLE PREPARATORY TO A SHOT.
records tho time when the shot breaks
It. Then as the projectile pierces frame
after frame along the rango they, too,
telegraph tho exact Instant to waiting
Instruments.
But even tho practically Instanta
neous record made by an electric re
corder Is not swift enough In Itself.
Electricity has to be helped with In
genious means. The wires that aro
scattered along the rango do not lead to
an Instrument that makes a record on
paper. That would bo far too slow.
Thoy lead to tho queer apparatus of
polished steel, ablo to record Inconceiv
able fractions of seconds. It Is known
as tho Slebcr vcloclmotcr. Its notlco
ablo feature Is a chunky, beautifully
polished cylinder of steel a fow inches
long. It has one sharply pointed end,
By this end, which Is magnetic, It Just
hangs to an upper supporting arm.
When tho shot breakB tho first wlro,
It, In turn, breaks the elcctro-mngnct
that holds tho steel bar, and down It
falls. It has only a few Inches to drop.
Yet before It falls that short distance
tho projectile has smashed through
framework nftcr framework. As tho
successive wires break, successlvo cir
cuits are broken, and tiny, sharp
gravers shoot out from tho sides of tho
Instrument and strike that falllmr bar.
Each graver marks It1, nud by the time
tho shot hns struck Its mark tho llttlo
steel cylinder Just nbout reaches tho
end of Its drop. Now, knowing to tho
thousandth pnrt of a second how fast
It dropped, tho ordnance expert can
calculate the swiftness of tho projectile
by measuring tho dlstnnco between tho
marks scratched on tho cylinder by tho
gravers.
To tnenstiro tho recoil another slm
plo method Is used. One end of a long,
thin strip of steel, with Its fnco smoked
to it uniform blackness, Is fastened to
tho carrlago of tho gun. Near tho muz
zlo end of the cannon Is an apparatus
with it tuning fork so arranged that a
spur on ouo of Its Jaws Just touches
tho face of the blackened fnco of tho
steel hand. When all Is ready for firing
this tuning fork Is set to vibrating by
an electrical Instrument that makes It
vibrate exactly 1,000 times n second,
without varying a slnglo vibration.
When the cannon Is discharged the re
coil naturally Jerks the steel band back
ward, and tho llttlo spur on tho fork
uutrks it long waving line on the steel.
Tho band Is dipped In n solution that
Axes tho record so It will not rub off.
Sometimes a gun will undergo tests
for a year or more, each shot being
carefully recorded and n llttlo history
bolng written nbout It bofore tho Gov
ernment gets a flnnl report on It Many
a cannon has had enough to fill a big
book written about It In successlvo re
ports of tests and thou been rejected.
If n gun gets tho "O. K." mnrk from
Sandy Hook It Is a good ono. Foreign
Governments renllzo that more keenly
than do tho peoplo of tho United States.
Foreign military men consider tho
proving grounds on Sandy Hook as ono
of tho most authorltatlvo Government
departments In the world, and Its re
ports are at a premium In every war
otllco on tho globe.
If a typo of gun doesn't develop a
feverish pulso beforo Its test Is ended
and If It Is accepted Anally more guns
of the same pattern are ordered. An
army olllcer oiiporlutends every step of
their manufacture and sees that each Is
liiado exactly llko the gun that was
tested. As each Is finished It Is sent to
Sandy Hook to lie "proved." Five shots
nro tired from It under service condi
tions, and If It nets correctly It Is hont
on to n coast fortification. Not n single
gun Is ununited to-day In n fort unless
It hns been through tho bauds of the
provlug-ground olllcers.

It reached the rapids, swam toward
the Bhoro and was rescued by some liu
