INTO GREAT FRAGMENTS
Armor Plate Shattered By the Big
Gun At Indian Head.
THE TRIAL OF GREAT INTEREST
Harveyizei Nickel Steel Plate Fails to Stand
the Test A Sad Blow to the Bethlehem
Company Another Teat to Be Made Soon.
Rotable Gathering of Naval Officers.
With a roar and a shock that made tho
earth tremble tho navy pet, tho twelve-inch
rifle, hurlod Its 850-pound projectilo against
an clghtecn-lnch nickel-stool Darvoylzed
plate, tho most poworful over tried, at the
proving grounds yesterday, and tore the
thirty-throe tons of steol into great fragments.
Tho result was a complete surprlso for all of
tho experts, and n sad blow to the Bothlchem
Steel Company, for unless they can do.bctlor
with the next plate they will lose tho S300.000
icprcscntcd by the group of armor plate of
which tho sample tried to-day was the test
piece.
Tho trial was of great Interest to armor ex
perts for several reasons. In tho first place,
tho plate was expected to show greater resist
ing power than any ever before submitted to
test Our nnvnl peoplo had tried seventcen
inch plates, and European governments bad
fired at twenty-two-ineh plates of compound
nrmor, but the latter is known to bo more
easily penetrated than eighteen inches of
homogeneous nickel steel, even whon the lat
ter is not Harveyized. In the second place,
the trial was expected to settle some doubt
that bad arisen as to the admissibility of
nppljing the Harvey process of surfaco car
bonization to tho hcawst plates and those of
Irregular shape. v
Consequently thero was a notnblo gathering
of ordnance experts at the proving grounds
at Indian Headjcsterdny, and doubtless thero
would have been more sae for the weather,
which, realizing tho threat of the morning,
drenched overybody with rain beforo tho day
expired. Tho plate submitted to test was
No. 5107 B, representing C13 tons of side
armor intended for the battleship Indiana
nnd made by tho Bethlehem Steel Company.
It weighed 33 tons and cot about 515,000.
In shajio it was an irregular oblong, 1C feet
long by 1 foct high, 18 Inches thick abovo.
with the lower odgo (42 inches) hoveled off
to a minimum thickness of 8 inches. It was
nickel steel, forged by hydraulic pres3 and
Hanoyizcd.
A tbirtecn-inch riflo, the largest In naval
use, was to bo llred against tins, but tno piato
was found to bo too narrow to warrmt this
severe test, so tho twehc-inch gun, which
will hereafter bo the maximum in our ord
nanco construction, was leolod at tho plate,
distant about 400 feet, Tho projectile, a Car
penter armor piercer weighing 850 pounds
and drhen by 269 pounds of Dupont's
brown prismatio powder, Mew across tho
siiaco with tho velocity of I,4C3 feet per sec
ond and struck tho plate about n foot to tho
right of the center. When tho smoke cleared
away there was an exclamation of surprise
from tho spectators. About thirty feet in
front of tho target lay tho shot, apparently
llttlo changed, while in tho plate was a gap
ing hole, nnd moro than that, threo great
cracks, yawning open eight inches-and run
ning clear across from bottom to top and
from tho shot hole to tho left edge.
An examination showed that tho shot had
forced Its point through tho plate to tho
backing nnd had then rebounded after crack
ing tho plate. Had tho plate been fastened
on tho Indiana's side, instead of ngeinstthirty
slx inches of oak backed against the hillside,
the chances aro that tho battleship would have
had a frightful wound.
Further experiments seemed to be needless,
but tho contract conditions requiring it,
another shot wa3 fired at fragments of plate
on tho right about seven feet bro.id that re
mained uninjured. This time tho gunner put
419 3-10 pounds of powder in tho gun, and
tho projectile, another twelve-Inch Carpenter,
wasghen additional force and sent at tho
maximum velocity 1,926 feet per second.
Again the plate was rent In twain, splitting
widely across, but the shot did not escnpo,
for while it forced its point through thn plate
and about eight Inches through the oak back
ing it was twisted in several pieces, tho
point remaining in tho holo and tho remain
der lying in fragments outside tho plate.
This was the end of the test, and tho plate
failed signally just why the expertj do not
agree.
It wa3 recognized after tho first shot that
there had been an extensive but concealed
crack in the plate running from the center to
tho left hand edge that bad c!ti'd before tho
trial. Certain ominous snappings nnd crack
ings had been noticed while tho piato was at
the mills, but a stcim hammer had been
brought to bear upon it without disclosing
tho hidden flaw, and it was supposed to bo
oil right.
Ordnanco officers believe that this flaw was
tho sole cause of tho failure of the plate. Tho
manufacturers, however, bcllovo that the
trial proves that these heavy plates
cannot be Hareyizcd with benetlt. They
hold that in fact tho process really weakens
the piato by salting up severo and destructive
internal strains when applied to heavy plates.
Nevertheless the ordnance officers, having
proved to their satisfaction tho efficacy of tho
Harvey process on tho soonteen-Ineh plates,
aro not prepared to admit, until thero havo
been further trials, that it will not servo
equally well for tho eigbteen-lucu plate, tho
heaiest nrmor designed for our ships.
Tho Bethlehem company will hao an op
portunity to submit another 13-Inch piato to
test before the entire group of twenty plates
lot tho Indiana is Anally judged, and as they
will doubtless tako this chance to savo tho
5300,000 which tho plates cost, tho next trial
may Anally set at rest tho doubt that now ex
ists as to tho cause of tho failuro yesterday.
Wolf Creek Poetry.
The Scimitar complains of tho depressing
tone that pervades tho verses of Memphis
poets. When CoL William R. Mooro or 31r.
Howard Hawthorno McGIice Indict a few
stanzas theso days they read as if melancholy
had marked them for its own. The Scimitar
is unablo to dlvino tho cause of so much sad
ness, but we tako it as a matter of course
that It nil comes of the bilious influence of
tho bogs. 1'oets, liko other people. hae
livers, and it is not reasonable to expect thoso
of Memphis to chirp tho glad notes of Spring
time song irds after having breathed the
dispiriting malaria that comes from tho com
bined waters of Wolf creek and Bayou Gayoso.
Tho Memphis poets need change of air. If
they could be so fortunato as to inhale for a
reason the puro ozone that circulates about
Nashville their verses would have a lively
ring liko thoseof Miller John McCann, though
they couldn't, of course, hopo to keep up to
the spirited standard of bards who are so
blessed as to lho in Nashville. Nasbvilie
