It has no diseased tissues on which to hang. and boilers uud air compressors aud coolors and all sorts of intricate ma chinery iu a house not far away, by which the projectiles are fired. The dynamite or gun cotton or explosivo gelatin or whatever the explosive ma terial may be is contained in the pro jectile ouly. This projectile is called an "aerial torpedo" by the manufacturers and is exploded by means of a fuse similar to any powder gun's. Dynamite or any other high explosive cannot be used in uu ordinary cannon, lecauso the powder would explode the ('yuamite beforo it left the gun, there fore the system of using compressed air came into vogue as the only method of throwing dynamite to any distance. The air is compressed and paused along through various tubes before reaching tbo gun and is used at about 1,000 pounds pressure to the square inch, which is much less than the power of powder. Dyuamite w ill be exploded at about 5,000 pounds pressure to the square inch. These guns are enormous affairs, smoothbore, 50 feet iu length, nmde of the best iron, in three sections, flanged and bolted together and support ed on a steel carriage. The carriage is uiouutcd upon a steel racing ring, so callod, and the system of handling is by means of an electric motor. As these guns are covered by a lurge number of patents they are very expensive, costing the government many thousands of dol lars each. Fifteen men in relays are required to work them. The gunner stands upon a platform on tho loft side of the carriage, uses a thio telosoopio sight, aud when all is ready ho pulls a lever which allows the oompressed air to enter the gnu, and the discharge takes place. These guns are nil loaded at the breech, and the projectile is handled by a separate car riage. The projec-tilo is about ID feet in length for the 15 inch gun, aud when oharged with 600 pounds of dyuamite or gun cotton weighs fully 1,000 pounds. It Is a steel tube composed of walls three-sixteenths of an inch thick and lias a spiral vane at the rear. Tho fuse is a foot in length and weighs 20 pounds. This fuse contains two pounds and a half of dry gun cotton and a few grains of fulminate of mercury as a de tonator. It is set to oxplode at impact or as the gunner may desire as to time. —Leslie’s Weekly. The Rev.
