Washington. July S.?Officials o' the navy department were confident today that in the new three-inch dis appearing gun developed by experts of the bureau ordnance for use or submarines in surface fighting, the American navy will have a subraa rine armament at least the equal, il not better than that of any othei navy in the world. The new weapor has been perfected after experiments which lasted almost two years. In an announcement Secretary Daniels said that so far as practica Mo nil cnhmnrinps now in the ser vice would be equipped with tbe new weapons, as well as all such new craft. The addition of guns to the equipment of submarines was made necessary because of the increase in size speed and cruising radius of surf craft in other navies. - Short sight is very rare in savages / x j WHAT BIG GUN'S EAT. *; Gunpowder Is Almost Pure Cott< .

"Face, gun or flea i The first and third varieties are st i what they were of yore, but the gu ! powder is really powder no longi except when it is used for the ma ut'aeture of fireworks, says the Lc don Tit-Bits. That used for t modern high-power artillery is in t form of cylinders, sticks or bloc! some o? them of considerable size. A single grain of the powder, 1 instance, for the great sixteen-in gun to be set up at Panama is as \ round as a broomstick and thi | inches long.

The Br ish powder is made in long stic i which look like macaroni without t large single hole, while the Fren powder looks like flat pieces of che 1 ing gum. The bigger the gun the bigger t grain of powder. For the rifles t men carry the grains are half as 1 as a pinhead; for the largest gu i they are three inches long and thri ) quarters of an inch thick. Ev< grain is perforated lengthwise. Sm grains have a single hole, while t larger sizes have seven. These holes regulate in a wondi ful way the rapidity with which t powder will burn. If you light scrap of paper all round the edge will burn toward the centre and t burning surface will steadily j crease. If. however, you make a h< in the centre of the paper and sts the conflagration there the flame w steadily grow, and the most rai burning will take place just befc the fire has reached the outer edi This is the exact principle which g< * 1 ? f V^a rvarfni ems me ar:axig?xiiciiL ui me 1 tions in big-gun powder.
