THE NEW SUBMARINE GUN.
Officials Optimistic Over I>isapj>ear
ing Weapon.
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.

large single hole, while the Fren
powder looks like flat pieces of che

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

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<

It is not intended that the char
