We must now correct our data to refer to the gun's position. Then we are ready to imake corrections for drift due to rifling, .eflect of wind, condition of atmosphere and abnormal powder and projectile. The gun is laid with the resulting data by means of degrees and minutes marked on the traverse circle of the gun platform and elevation are on the side of the carriage, .and we are ready to fire.

"â€"Chicago News. “The most important part of the operaâ€" tion is of course to locate the target. The invention which has enabled us to do this is something wholly Americanâ€"a develop- ment of our regular army. This invention is the range finder; It looks a simple af- fairâ€"a tall modern tower, with a sub- stantial foundation, built on a command- ing height and connected with the guns, perhaps half a mile distant, by telephone. At the t0p is a large telescope, adjusted on a polished steel circular table. A dial on the telescope frame is cogged with the edge of the circular table and gives at any instant the direct reading in azimuth. Another dial is so arranged that elevation or depression of the telescope gives its indicator a corresponding movement. This is like the ordinary transit fitted to read vertical angles, but in this case instead of reading angles of depression distances are indicated in yards to the point where the line of sight pierces the water. An adjustment corrects for height of tide. “The aiming of the gun is all science now and needs experts. The firing and loading are the only work which the un- trained mind can find work at, and even in these things, you understand, there is needo! coolness and experience, for these big “flows are delicate machines, after 311. and are worked by lovers, have elec- trical appliances and are in other ways too Precious to trust to untrained hands. “It is only necessary, then, to point our telescope at the water line of the ship and read directly azimuth and distance. These are rapidly transmitted by telephone to the guns and plotted on a piece of draw- lug paper. Three of these observations, 20 seconds apart, are plotted, and the gun has to be 1‘1er 80 seconds after the last observation is taken or at the end of two minutes total time. We have the location of the target at three difl’erent times. It is now necessary to compute where it will be at the end of the 80 seconds. The trtillery oflicer laughed. “Yes, but you must remember the Japs were dealing with the Chinese: We know how to over- come that. How? Oh, but that’s telling?) u-‘n" .u y‘râ€"v, “In the days of the civil war ranges were so very short that the gunner had no difficulty in seeing his target and laying his gun directly upon it. Wind and speed of target out no figure because the project- ile had such a‘ short distance to pass over that neither had enough time to act to make any appreciable difi'erence. But nowm‘hen firing at a target eight miles “my all of these things make themselves felt. There is the rifling in the bore, which gives the projectile the rotation necessary to keep it from tumbling and which will in our service carry the pro- jectile to the right. Then the direction and force of the wind, the direction and speed of target, the temperature and bar- ometric pressure of the air, which 'aflect the resistance of- the air to passage of the projectile, the kind of powder and weight of projectile. All these things have to be taken into account, and they each vary under all sorts of conditions, so that they can only be figured out for each particular shot at the time the gun is fired. "Most of this information must be worked out from data obtained from flr- ing tests and must be thoroughly assimi- lated by the expert artillorist. Then by taking observations at the time of firing data are obtained from which results can be computed. “This may not sound so dreadful hero in the calm of apeacoful afternoon. But imagine looking up sinos and casinos, plotting accurate curves from mathemat- ical data under a hail of projectile, with Iholla and bombs bursting around you! Fancy placidiy sighting your telescope in the range tower, which a W“ directed shot may cut away from bendfi you, and your hand must not tremble, your mind must not be distracted!” The civilian seemed rather impressed. He could only venture timidly that it did seem as it there were great odds against the ships. , “So there are. But they have advan- tages too. In the Japanese-Chinese war the J aps, being clever, got ahead of the Chinese ‘ predictions of their position by running ahead full speed and then sudden- ly slacking up, so that the Chinese gun- ners began to grasp that ruse. Then they changed their tactics and would advance slowly at first, then suddenly crowd on all Iteun and speedusway, leaving the gun- ners far behind.
