near exact size as possible two ten
thousandths of an inch. It is as deli
cate a mechanism as the machines
that record earth tremors.
Compared to a torpedo, a -wrist
watch is as delicate as a coal wagon.
Copper and nitroglycerine are
what make torpedoes costly.
There are cannon shells that cost
more than torpedoes.
The German 42-centimeter shell
costs $9,000.
A rifle cartridge costs a nickel
That shows the relative impor

Fourteen-inch guns throw projec
tiles 14 to 16 miles. They will pierce
an 11-inch Krupp steel plate at seven
miles.
Twelve-inch guns will shoot just
as far, but will pierce the 11-inch
plate only at five miles.
When the big guns are fired every
man on the battleship has to stuff
his ears with cotton, and touch the
deck with his toes and fingertips,
keeping his mouth open. This is to
prevent broken bones and lost teeth.
