It was not very long ago, __^___ I however, that a gun wag aimed simi- larly to a rifle in that tbe direction in which it was pointed was obtained by sighting ulon? its barrel. But now things are not done that way. Tbe gunners are often far out of sight of wbat they are sboothig at, and the remarkable bits tbat they make are only explained by the use they make of careful scientitlc calculations. To direct the lire of one of tbe bigger guns, for example, requires that no less than fifteen complicated correc- tions be made, says Popular Science Moothly. Each correction requires an average of Qve adjustments, ull of which must first be exactly figured out by those In command. Tbe most im- portant corrections which are made are for tbe Influence of tbe resistance of the air, the influence of the earth's curvature and the attraction of grav- ity on the distance the bullet may be carried. In place of the guesswork of prevl- oas times Is the use of tbe most ad- vanced developments hi the fields of mathematics, physics and chemistry. Aiteiuesi* touncil met mi Oct. C.
