LOADING BIG GUNS

Modern Monster Warship.
STORY OF A PRACTICE DRILL
What Happened After the Order to
"Firol" Was Very Different From
What Would Have Occurred Had
Cordite and Projectile* Been Used.
The order la given to load. Some one
touched n lever, and with a hiss a mass
of bright steel turns and twists back,
and the breech of the gun gapes open.
Another touch on the lever, and from
beside you a hydraulic ram shoots out
like a golden tongue into the breech
and immediately shoots back again.
All Is clear. Now, at your very feet,
a hole gapes in the floor of the turret,
there Is a slat and crash of metal, and
as you look down Into the hole yon see
a small lift traveling up with Incred
ible rapidity and Infernal clatter bear
ing on It the Immense projectile, weigh
ing more than seven hundredweight,
and. In another compartment, the two
cartridges of cordite.
Op comes the lift, locks Itself with a
crash and spills out the projectile on a
metal tray In line with the open breech.
The golden tongue of the rammer
shoots out again and pushes the pro
jectile Into the gaping breech, extend
ing Itself apparently Indefinitely until
the projectile has disappeared. The
lift shifts a little, bringing Into line
with the gun Its other compartment
which contains the two half charges,
each a cylinder holding 130 pounds of
cordite. Out shoots the ram again,
with no more respect for them than if
they had been sponges, and pushes
them steadily home behind the projec
tile. and, bavlng done its deadly busi
ness. retires again out of the way to be
ready for another cycle of the same op
erations.
Half a turn of the wheel, and the
breech block swings home with a sigh
and a click "Right gun loaded, sir." i
Now you wait In suspense, and a voice (
in the conuing tower gives the range?
8.500 yards. The gun layer In his quiet
corner bus all this time never taken bis :
eye from the glass, lie turns one
wheel, and the whole turret swings
round over the ship's quarter; be turns
another, and witb a tittle biss and sigh
of imprisoned water the whole mighty
tonnage of the gun. sweetly balanced
on its trunnions, rises and tilts Itself
to the push of the hydraulic press.
The range la decreasing by some tnir |
ty yards a second. since the target Is
a ship approaching us at a speed equal
to our own? fifteen knots? and as the
falling ranges are given the gun metal
wheel Is turned an eighth or a quarter
of an Inch, and the muzzle of the gun
sinks down a little as gently as a fall
ing leaf. The sights are reported "on."
the gun laid, and the word we have al
been waiting for Is sharply given?
"Fire!" The gun layer pulls a trigger
no bigger than that of a pistol and?
The projectile was a dummy one
made of wood covered with leather,
and there was no cordite In the car- |
trldges. If It had been otherwise the
pictures that adorned the commander's
room, the mirrors and toilet acceseo- I
rles on the cabin tables and the va
rious elegant adornments of the cap
tain's suit would (unless they bad been
previously packed away) have come
crashing down from their places, and
the navigating commander, who hap
pened at the time to be ezplnlnlng to
an unwilling listener on the quarter
deck by what skill and foresight he
had avoided setting the ship's stern on
to the breakwater at Portland, wonld
have been blown off the deck.
These things were unnecessary, for
I quite understood. The click and si
lence that followed the word "Fire!"
were quite eloquent enough to me of
all the shuttering damnation they rep
resented?a projectile weighing 850
pounds hurtling to Its mark at the
rate of almost a thousand yards a sec
ond.
But we In the turret would have
known nothing, for before It had reach
ed the target the breech block would
have opened to the screech of the air
blast which cleans out the burning
fragments of cordite In the breech, the
rammer would have shot In with Its
mop and out again, the ammunition
hoist would have come clattering and
screaming up. another projectile would
have rolled into the tray with another
two hundredweight of death pheked
behind It, the rammer would have
pushed it home with a kick, the block
would have swung to again, the great
gun would have been sighted and
swung In the air. again the word wonld
have been given, and again the frag
ment of concentrated power that men
had toiled in factories and drawing of
fices. in laboratories and foundries to
perfect would have been sent winging
through the sea air to spend Itself 1'
destruction.
And only one man In the turret wonld
have seen Its fate; only he with his
eye to the telescope, who had seen the
bull of that ship in the distance cover
lng the threadlike cross on his glass
as he pulled the trigger, would see and
guess when the distant target would
burst into yellow smoke what work
| bad been done.? London Standard

Trade At Home
ris a hard thing to'convince some people, who have acquired the
mail orderlhabit, that it ia to their advantage to trade at home. Th?
green fields far away appeal to them, so they send their money out of
town for something that is no better than can be found on the local
merchant's shelves. The money is thus gone where they. i> *r any one
of the community, will ever see it again, and where it can ?> > nobody
good but the person who has it and he is hundreds or thomands of
miles away.
THE MAIL ORDER PEOPLE
are not the only offenders who are blind to the interests ofthe commu
nity. The merchants are just as bad. Many of them send away for
their printing, whiU at the sama time argue against'mail order business.
