Highly Explosive Gas Mixture, \ot Blir Powder Charges. The new gun which Germany ; brought into use for the first time on j April 30 against Dunkirk threw its j missile from 24 to 2S miles, establishi ing a record as the greatest long-range firing ever known in actual warfare. ; Dr. Franz Erich Junge, a German ! naval constructor, who has been in America for some time as consulting engineer for German and American industrial concerns, said last week, in discussing some of the features which have aroused the attention of war experts, t;at he did not believe the limit of long-range firing had by any means been reached. He also explained several things about the mechanism of Germany's iong-aistance gun wmcii clear up some of the erroneous ideas about it. "This latest German gun, which !ias been tried out against Dunkirk for the first time," said Dr. Junge, "is one of the new 50-centimeter type about which muck has been heard, but little definite information generally known. The radical difference between this and other long-distance guns lies in the impelling power, which is derived from a highly explosive gas mixture, thereby doing away with enormous charges of powder and reducing to a considerable degree the- cost of oper ating. "This mixture is prepared by compressing air to very higij pressures and injecting oil into it at the proper time, thus obviating the use of a large charge of powder for each firing of the gun. Not only does it reduce the initial cost, but it facilitates the working of the gun. Cylinder with a Piston. ! "The construction of the modern i gun is based upon the same lines as j the construction of the internal com} bustion engine; so mutfi so that even | the designers of internal comDusuon | engines become designers of large guns. The big gun is practically a cylinder with a piston in it, but with this difference from the engine?that the gun piston is the projectile itself. Also, like the engine, guns must be cooled by water and oil. "Another important feature of this latest gun and one which has not been generally appreciated is that it is possible to use projectiles of different calibre. For long-distance firing a smaller projectile is used, while for attacking fortresses at sLorter range the large 50-centimeter calibre projectile can be used. This is managed by the use of different cylinders. Let us say that the 50-centimeter gun is built for firing missiles of three different sizes. It is evident that a projectile of about 12-inch calibre was fired in the longdistance attack upon Dunkirk. At the present state of gun-firing ability that is the largest-sized projectile which, j can reasonably ze fired for such a long j distance. The heavier weight of the j larger projectiles makes a carrying Kf 93 miloc ,i'mnnssihiP now." UiOtftiiUU V/I ^ The ability of this so-called Dunkirk gun to use different sized cylinders readily explains some of the confused views which have prevailed about this instrument of destruction. The ordnance experts at 'Wkshington. in 'discussing the 23-mile feat a few days ago, were of the opinion, and rightly, that a gun of no greater calibre than 12 inches could fcave been used successfully in the attack on Dunkirk, stating that it would be impossible to attain a distance of from 21 to 23 miles with the 50-centimeter projectile. eaual to 19.6 inches. Dr. .Junge's explanation that a 12-inch cylinder may be slipped into the gun shows how a missive of that calibre may be fired from a gun constructed to fire a missile of nearly 20 inches. Torpedoes From Zeppelins? It is of interest to note, as contrasted with the 23-mile carrying ability of the new German gun, that t':e American army experts have made elaborate computations of wnat migni be accomplished by tae latest American 12-inch coast defense gun, and it has been shown that when fired at an angle of 45 degrees such a gun has a range of 55,000 yards, or over 31 miles. "No actual limit can be placed on the long-range firing possibility of big guns," added Dr. Junge. "With a more powerful explosive force behind the projectile, it would naturally carry further. This is what has given the new tierman gun me adiiuy <ji suu1 cessful long-range firing." Dr. Junge was asked if he thought successful long-range firing could be accomplished for distances of 50 to 100 miles. He admitted the difficulties at such distance, bo*lh from the heavier weight of tine projectile and the effect of air currents in swerving the missile ever so slightly from its course, and thereby preventing, at abnormal distances, the unerring accu racy now ootaiuauie iui uiotauuca up to 20 miles and over. "Why may it not be possible, in the wars of the future, if there are any," he said, "to use air torpedoes for such J distances? Experiments have been under way for some time in German fac! tories in the construction of air torpedoes. Like the torpedoes shot from tne submarines, t ey all possess a propelling force of their own, set in motion as soon as they are shot into the ! air. Let us suppose this may be pos- j sible, and then place an aeroplane or i Zeppelin equipped with a strong wireless electric plant above the line of! flight of these destroying air torpedoes. I "We have already demonstrated the ! ability of guiding boats by cans of elecj trie waves, and why could not the ; flight of t!':ese huge air torpedoes be guided with accuracy to their strik?ncr nAi'nf 1 OH milpc nr distant?"

The National Museum at Washington Shows the First Crude Machines Made as Weil as Originals and Models of the First Locomotives. Probably no museum collection in the world better illustrates the develop ment of the steam engine, particularly the locomotive, than the exhibit of the T nif Arl Cfn t/\r? Vnti/\nnl iifrtn rv* /% uiiiicu oiuico i^auuum muocuui ai Washington, which includes two of the earliest original locomotives and numerous models and accessories. The history of the sream engine is a materialistic romance without parallel in the record of human achievements. It covers the stupendous and persistent efforts of many early philosophers and mechanics who found steam a mysterious uncontrollable force and left it a comprehensible controllable factor of public service. Ao one knows now long after it was observed that by holding down the lid of a kettle of boiling liquid a certain force was created, due to the compression of the steam, before any use was attempted with this newly discovered force. It is certain, however, that a sort of steam engine was exhibited in Alexandria, Egypt, about 200 years before our era began, and it was described in a work on pneumatics by Hero of Alexandria, written between 150 and 130 B. C. This machine was a rotary affair, more theoretical than practical, as were many of the results of philosophy in those days. A reconstruction of this engine in model form is in the museum exhibits. Nothing more is to be found concerning the steam engine for centuries, a -c A. U!?K : ~ ,1 U* ln/>K iacu vviik'u is uu uuuui uutr iu luk ia.v_iv of interest in anything which did not have to do with war or warlike implements. A book published in Rome in 1029 gives a description of Giovanni Branca's crude steam engine, showing it to have been an elementary steam turbine, with the sole defect that it lacked any appliances for making the steam follow the vanes, or buckets, of the revolving wheel, so that more of its energy might have been converted into useful work. One author in a treatise on locomotives claims that had some genius improved upon this early device the reciprocating engine would Drobablv never have been invented, but that we would have had the advantage of our modern turbines much sooner. The museum possesses a model of a very early machine designed by Sir Isaac Newton in 1680 which was propelled by a jet of steam projected | backward against the air and a model of Denis Papin's invention of about the same time. (The investigations of Savery and Papiri and the successful experimental engines of Thomas Newcomen in 1705 with his piston and cylinder soon followed. Newcomen's ideas were improved by James Watt in 1769, who also introduced the high ! pressure engines, the condenser and later the double acting engine. The development of the engine was advanced by Cugnot, Evans, Hornblower and Murdoch. A model of the latter's enj gine is on display in the museum. As the result of a wager made by a resident of Merthyr Tydfil, an important iron town of South Wales, that he could convey a load of iron nine j miles by the power of steam alone Richard Trevithick made the first engine to run' on rails in 1803 and won the wager for his employer the nest i vonr Trpvithiek. it has been claimed. copied the stationary engine built in 1800 by Oliver Evans, an American, who was later ingenious enough to attach wheels to a scow and propel it by steam through the streets of PhiladelI phia in 1804. This curious creation, I called the Oruktor Amphibolis. was the j first motorcar to run on American soil. A inpdel of Trevithick's engine is to be seen in the National museum, as j is also the model of the engine emi ployed by John Stevens in 1S25 and j his original tubular boiler. Other modI els illustrate nearly all the types which began to put in their appearance soon after 1S2G, when the Stourbridge Lion was built in England and shipped to America, where it was the first engine to run on full sized rails. The museum possesses not only the model [ of this historic engine, but the original engine itself. The other original full sized locomotive to be seen in the museum is the John Bull, built by George Stephenson & Sons of England and shipped to America for use in 1831 on the Camden and Amboy railroad, in+orpstinc to recall that this old relic of early railroading in America made a round trip under its own steam in 1893 from New York to Chicago, where it was exhibited at the World's Columbian exposition. Among the models of early and historic locomotives are George Stephen| son's Rocket, which was built in 1829; the B. and 0. engine Tom Thumb, built by Peter Cooper in 1829; the grasshopper type engine Arabian of 1831; the Best Friend, used in 1830-1; Baldwin's Old Ironsides, constructed in 1832; the Sandusky, built In 1S37, and models of engines made by Asa Whitney in 1840 and G.

GOOD CAFCHERS. | They Must Be Quick Thinkers and Are Hard to Develop. ! Good fielders and hard hitters there ! are who are not quick fitted, but nev| er a catcher, who is the first to see j signs of weakness in the pitcher and | sends word to the bench for another ; pitcher to warm up. Three years' exj perience with a major league is re garded as necessary to make a catcher competent Only a few continue long enough to have such experience. Good catchers say that "when they hear the ball touch the bat their hands instantly fly toward the ball, no matter where it glances off the bat. Some after losing sight of a fly in the sun have the ability to reach it neverthej less. Some catchers are unjustly blamed : for not putting a runner out who gets i a big lead off the pitcher, who is real! ly at fault Here not only a good throw "will fail, but it is often useless to tlirow at all. Good catchers make many unexpected throws. They must throw from an unnatural position and with a jerky motion of the arm. Archer threw with : a snap of the arm while standing flat footed and put many out on first base. The catcher signals second baseman that he is going to throw the next pitched ball to him; the pitcher delivers it a little to one side so that it can be handled easily; the shortstop knows the next ball will not be hit and so can back up second base. This unexpected throw often puts the runner out on second. A similar play is when the runners ! move up every time the ball is pitch | ed. If those on second and third both i get well off the bags the catcher again | signals the pitcher to waste a ball and j makes as if he were going to throw i to third, but instead throws quickly to | second and retires the runner there, or makes as if he were going to throw : to second, but instead throws just beyond the pitcher, when the baseman j starts for second, and he, without stop! ping, runs up, catches the ball and sends it home to retire the man seeking to score.?Arthur Maedonald in American Education Review. EVOLUTION OF THE CHAIR. j Benches Without Backs Served For Seats In the Middle Ages. I It seems odd to contemplate that. ! with the multitude of chairs to De found in every home these days, once upon a time there were no chairs as we know them in any home. In those days benches answered the purpose now served by chairs, and when a family drew up to the table for its meals j in the middle ages they sat on long | benches, which had no support for the backs, instead of chairs. I From long ago there were heavy ' *#. .1 ?i. L?k j thrones on wnicn tne ruiers sui, uut these throne chairs were so heavy that they could not be easily moved. Later I the benches were given a back, and ; still later the chairs as we know them today were evolved. It was not until 1600, in the time of Charles 1., that the average Englishman knew of chairs or had them in his house, according to those who have made a study of furniture. The first English chairs were imported from France, and the native cabinetmakers and carpenters made chairs in imitation of these. In those days the fashion in chairs changed with the fashion of clothes. When full skirts were the style the chairs became wider, so that milady and her skirts could be accommodated on one chair. The difference in the size of chairs that we have today, made in imitation of old styles, comes from this difference in clothes.?London Standard. Why a Whip "Cracks." In a lecture on "Mechanics Iii the Home" delivered to boys at the Royal institution, in London, Professor C. V. Hoys tried to explain why a whip | cracks. The Scientific American re marks that his explanation was oniy tentative, and the greatest authorities on dynamics have been at a loss to give the reason. Briefly, it has to do with the fact that, owing to the action of centrifugal and other forces, the speed at which the whip travels through the air is greater and greater throughout the length of its lash and so great at tiie end that it comes up to the velocity of sound.
