The Infantry Drill Regulations. The Manual of Arms adapted to the Magazine Rifle Caliber .30.
To insure uniformity of practice in the manual of arms for the new Army rifle, the War Department has made many modifications in manuals formerly used. The new manual is to govern the Army. It will be of great interest to national guardsmen, as the different states will also use the work. The Army and Navy Register, of Washington, D. C., has issued the manual in pamphlet form, the price of which is 15 cents per copy, A recent law prohibits the War Department from printing over 1000 copies of any document, which will limit their distribution to only a few in the Army.

The author measures cloud velocities, determining the position of a cloud by suitable theodolites at the end of a 1178 meter base line. Me then calculates the mean cloud velocities, and from these latter states that for high altitudes (above 200 meters), in the same season, the increase of velocity is regular and uniform; that is, is proportional to the increase in height.

The Maxim rapid-fire single barrel machine rifle for infantry use, which was the type used in these tests, has a caliber of 0.303. The cartridges are 2.8 inches in length. The range of the gun is 3200 yards. Smokeless powder is used, giving a muzzle velocity of 1850 feet per second. The gun weighs 25 pounds when placed on its iron stand, ready for action. When taken apart and packed with ammunition and extra equipment, its total weight is 45 pounds; so that it can be readily carried by one man. Its average capacity is 500 shots a minute.
The first test was one of 50 rounds, which were fired in SJ seconds. The time for unloading the gun from the knapsack to the time when the last shot was fired was 57¼ seconds. The next test was one of time. A shot was fired, the gun barrel removed, another barrel taken from the knapsack and inserted, loaded and fired within one minute and 12 seconds.

A correspondent of the Glasgow Herald states that the torpedo-boat destroyer built by Messrs. Thornycroft on a three hours’ run maintained a speed of 27.97 knots—practically 28 knots—or for the whole time 84 nautical miles; and burned in her three water-tube boilers 17¼ tons of coal. The rate of combustion is 68 lbs. of coal per square foot of grate area per hour, although in some trials it has reached 79 lbs.; but then the power per square foot of grate area is very high, 24 indicated horse-power. The boats of this class carry 60 tons of fuel at a pinch, and this would enable them to go at full speed for a period of over nine hours, during which they would travel fully 250 nautical miles. The coal consumption is equal to 4 cwt. per sea mile; that is to say, during the 2 min. 9 sec. taken to a sea mile 4 cwt. of coal are burned. A ton of coal, therefore, takes the boat five sea miles, but it would only be on a rush that such speed would be maintained. Now, other tests have been made at about half the speed—13 knots—and here, instead of five miles, the ton of coal carried the destroyer for a distance of about 38 nautical miles, so that the total distance at 13 knots with the 60 tons of coal would be nearly 2000 miles. This shows the great cost of doubling the speed. The coal per horse-power at 13 knots was 1.61 lbs.

It consisted essentially of a spirit level pivoted at one end, and adjusted at the other by means of a micrometer screw. By the aid of a diagram the value M G is ascertained in a way set forth by the author.

July 5. The Measurement of Pressures by the Crusher Gauge.
In a recent communication to the Royal Society, Messrs. W. Kellner and W. H. Deering describe a series of experiments on crusher gauges. The gauges in question were of the usual form, and each was constructed of a small cylinder of copper .5 in. long and .326 in. in diameter, inclosed in a small steel cylinder, fitted with a steel ram .461 in. in diameter. One end of this ram rested on the copper rod, whilst the other was exposed to the pressure to be measured. These pressures were generated by firing cordite in closed explosive vessels of steel, having a capacity of about 120 cubic centimetres. The vessels were closed by screw stoppers, which were about 4 in. long, and were drilled axially with a ¼ in. hole. The mouth of this hole was closed by a hardened steel ball ½ in. in diameter, which could be loaded with any desired weight, thus forming a valve. By means of this device an independent measure of the pressure inside the vessel could be obtained, since, if the valve did not lilt, the pressure inside must have been lower than that corresponding to the weight on the ball. The effective area of this valve was very carefully measured. By planing off a short length at the top of the plug, a new seat could be obtained for the valve when required. The weights of cordite fired were increased by 6hort steps till a point was reached at which the gases resulting from the explosion were blown out, and the pressure thus obtained was compared with the indications of the crusher gauge. The general result arrived at was that the pressure, as estimated by the crusher gauge, was invariably too low, being about 11 per cent, wrong at pressures of 6 tons per square inch, 9 per cent, wrong at pressures of 13 tons per square inch, and 11 per cent, wrong at 16 tons per square inch.
