PERFECT FLASHLESS POWDER j
United States Army Indention -Will I
Permit of Night Firing Without
Illumination.
Flashless gunpowder, making pos- I
sible night firing without illumination, j
will be demonstrated shortly at the an- i
nual meeting of the Army Ordnance j
association at tne ADerueen proving
grounds.
Night firing with guns as large as
five inches, in whicli the muzzle was
barely visible to observers 50 feet
away, have been conducted with no
more than a momentary dull red glow,
and no illumination whatever.
Other features of the program
include the firing of the "heaviest
single unit of ordnance in the world."
the recently perfected 15-inch 50-cali
ber gun mounted on a disappearing
carriage. The gun measures (JO feet,
in length weighs 240.000 pounds, and
requires 850 pounds of smokeless powder
to propel its 2.400-pound projectile
approximately 22 miles.
Although the gun weighs near]}
806 tons, it can be rotated 800 degrees
and elevated or depressed 30
degrees by another. It is operative
at the rate of one shot per minute.
A new and enlarged Browning
rapid-fire gun of .50-caliber^ intended
for. use against aircraft and tanks
will be demonstrated. The ammunition
used is twice as large as that
used in the World war and rhe rate
of firing has been greatly increased.
BORROWED A FIRE ENGINE
Stranger Put Out Flames and Returned
Apparatus, With Whole
Force Hunting It.
Sayviile.?Early one morning a fire
alarm was turned in here and all the
volunteers turned out in record time
aud rushed to the firehouse. They
were astonished to find the door open,
and the apparatus missing. A searching
party was formefl and scoured the
fount ry. while the telephone wires
were kept busy notifying surrounding
towns to he on the watch for the boldpst
gang of bandits to appear on the
[ land.
As morning came on the searching
parties returned without a clue; and
started for the firehouse to decide on
a campaign. As they neared tne house,
some one noticed the door was closed.
Inside, the engine stood in its place,
the tyose neatly, rolled. An unidentified
man had been' driving a truck near
West Sayville, when it caught fire. He
ran the two miles to the' firehouse,
but no one was about. He found the
ioor unlocked, appropriated the apparatus,
drove to his truck and extinguished
the flames. He then took the
engine home and shut the door, after
which he went Ills way. The firemen
itre satisfied with the explanation, but
would like to know that man's name.
