SMOKELESS FOWDER. '
And One Reason Why Our Big Gui s
Are Made So Lo'ig.
Only -13 i>er cent of ordinal's gun
powder Is couverted into gas when It
explodes. The remaining ."iT per ceut
Is unconsumed residue, wliieli we see
ii the fonu of suioke. With smokeless
t>owder It Is different. On igniliou II is
converted wholly into gas. A much
greater volume of gas is produce 1, and
the explosive effect is proportionately
Increased.
When the war with Spain broke out
111 1S9S tbe United States government
did not have any smokeless powder.
The Spaniards, on the other band, had
plenty of it and used it on both land
and sea. Consequently the American
besiegers at Santiago were uuable to
see the Spanish soldiers tiring at the' ,
•whereas the enemy could see by the
puffs of smoke Just where to shoot.
When Admiral Cervera's ships came
ont of the harbor and tried to escape,
the vessels of the American squadron
found it bard in the tight that followed
to tire accurately because their view
of tbe foe was obscured by the clouds
of smoke from their own guns.
There are many kinds of smokeless
gunpowder. One of the best known
is the English cordite, which, when
forced through li-^ ju a pn-r..|-:11,mI
metal plate while in n plastic condition, I
lakes the form of I liicis si ring's that |
look like tirowu rubber. The strings i
are cut up Into sii. '."t cylindrical pieces.
You can safely h< Id.1 string of cordite
in your hand and light one end of it; it
will burn slowly with a bright flame.
A characteristic of smokeless pow
ders is that they burn very slowly; on
that account modern guns are very
long, in order that all the powder of a
charge may have time to be trans
formed into gas before the projectile
driven by It leaves the muzzle of the
weapon. The smokeless powder used I
by our army and navy is made by I
soaking nitro cotton in a mixture of
ether and alcohol. It Is thus converted j
into a plastic substance that may be \
molded or cut into any shape re- j
quired. Tor small arms it is manu
facture! In a form resembling spaghet
ti—long strings that are chopped into
little pieces and packed into the car
tridges. I'or big tuns ii is made in long 1
rods, which, after being perforated
from end io end with a number of
holes to insure quicker Ignition, are
cut into iliort lengths. That kind of
powder, which might be called an ex
plosive celluloid, is of a .horny con
sistency. As in thscaseof other smoke
less powders, the slowness with which
it burns is owing mainly to its density.
The very cloth of the bags used to
contain cliargf cf gunpowder for the
big guns has itself been made of
smokeless powder—that is. woven of
threads of exactly the same substance.
That is an invention of the Germans.
The bag thus becomes part of the ex
plosive charge and when the gun is
fired is wholly consumed.—Professor
Charles S. Muiiroc in Youth's Compan
ion.
Hard to Understand.
Arnold Daly says that once, when
ho was talking to Bernard sthpw, the
latter admonished him, "If you wish to
get on In the world never take any
body's advice."
"This." said Daly, "resolved Itself
iuto a paradox, for If I took Mr.
Shaw's advice I was taking tome
body's advice, and If I took some
body's advice then I should never get
on. yet If I didn't take Mr. thaw's ad
vice I shouldn't get on, and—well, I
came to the conclusion that Bernard
Shaw was one of those people whom,
as Lord Dundreary says, *no feller can
understand.' "- Baltimore Sun.
