will stand a pull of 60 tons per square inch before breaking. This 
statement is directly opposed to the well established fact that in 
the case of a free tube, namely, one not under pressure externally, 
the bursting force must always be less than the tensile strength ot 
the metal. It is impossible with a 50-ton steel to make a tube, 
however thick, that will not yield under a bursting pressure of 
even 50 tons. Furthermore, if the elastic limit, more correctly 
styled the yield point, be 30 tons, which is practicable, the process 
of yie ding will commence before the gas pressure reaches that 
amount. This yielding will not be much when the same pressure 
is again applied, but the tube or chamber will be by so much 
permanently enlarged. The manner in which steel acts under 
tensile stress is often misunderstood, and is not correctly stated in 
the fourth paragraph of your article, as also at the end of the fourth 
paragraph of article on same page headed "Cordite High Power 
Kititb, where the writer says: 
"The elastic limit is the poittt at which steel ceases to be rigid 
under tension and begins to elongate, and the max-"ium stri^p^ is 
the stage of tension at which steel ceases to .be able to recover 
its original form alter the tension is removed.". 
This is not so. Steel is an elastic body, and is never rigid under 
tension. It begins to elongate as soon as tension is ajiplied, and 
as the force ot the pull increases it lengthens in some proportion 
up to a certain limit. If the pull ceases it returns almost to its 
original length, so long as the force applied has not exceeded 
this lim.it, which varies with the kind of steel and with the heat 
treatment it has undergone. When the limit of nearly uniform 
temporary elongation has been reached a sudden increase of the 
rate of elongation occurs. The molecular arrangement is strained, 
and the steel, on the pull bein^ relaxed, does not spring back, but 
is permanently elongated. With certain steeKs and certain states 
of others the elastic .imit is not arrived at until llie pull has reached 
30, or even more, tons per square inch, but the same piece will 
stretch at an increased rate after the yield point has been passed^ 
and continue to do so for 20 or more additional tons of pull, until 
the breaking point is near. The resistance then rapidly ceases 
and the bar breaks. The stress indicated by the testing machine 
just Ijefore fracture is the ultimate breaking stress, in this case 50 
tons or more, whereas the elastic limit is only 30 tons. 
It is not advisable to be satisfied in designing any steel work to 
provide strength equalling the working stress Or the proof stress. 
A factor of safety is necessary, and in rifle barrels the unknown 
stress that they may be stibjtcted to at a proof house renders it 
necessary to leave a large margin of strength. This cannot be at- 
tained by merely adding to thickness and using ordinary steel. 
A special steel is required having three qualities combined, namely, 
high e.astic limit (stiffness), good elongation (toughness), and a 
high ultimate stress (strength). The method of attainin.g this 
cannot be discussed in a conimuuicatioit of length suited to your 
columns. 
The following method of testing whether a gun barrel in the 
first machined state possesses the necessary qualities was originated 
by me in 1S96, and has proved most useful, The ordinary method 
in the case of small arms is to test the bars from which barrels are 
to be forged by pulling in a powerful testing machine specimens 
having an acting length of fiin. and diameter that corresponds 
with a sectional area of one-sixth of a square inch. These are 
cut necessarily the long ways of the bar. The heat treatment in 
forging and annealing barrels may seriously affect these qualities_^ 
and it is evident no tensile testing can be applied to the finishetl 
barrel. Mv procedure is to leave so "mch "^-n-a 'pn"- i- 'l^e 
breech end" of the tubes when forged that a disk a quarter of an 
inch thick can be cut off; from this a piece can be cut tangential to 
tlie hole, and long enough to give a test piece witn s,,rcv'.vu cms 
%in. in diameter and an acting length between them of .6in, in 
leno-tb 3r>d .1 'S'l in diameter, givuig a cross section of one-sixtieth 
of a square inch; in fact, the dimensions of the large test piece 
diviutu uy ten. A trial was made to determine whether the results 
of testing pieces .so small would agree with the large tests. In 
1897 Messrs. Kirka'dy & Sons made nuiherous tests for me of 
.such pieces with the scrupulous accuracy characteristic of a'l they 
undertake. A comparison of the results with those given by the 
larger test pieces proved that they were substantially the same. 
The Webley & Scott Arms Co. adopted this method with success, 
using a two-ton machine to do the work, and have found the 
system ■ verj' useful.— John Rigby, in Field (London),

This emblem of international ski!! drifted further away fi'om 
American possession than it did last year, for at Ottawa, Canada, 
v.'here the long range international contest took place last week, 
the British team came out of the contest vic+ori""'^ Hr<-"-'''*"r 
American teams will need to journey across the Atlantic Ocean 
at such times as they seek to regain possession of u. 
There were three teams in the contest this year, the Canadians, 
who were possessors and defenders; the Americans, and thb 
British. , 
In the first stages of the contest, at 800yds., the Americans held 
the l«ad. and victory seemed to lean reasonably in their favor, for 
th.ey led the British team by 22 points and the Canadian team by. 
42 points. At the next longest range, 900yds., the British team took 
the lead by 12 points, having made up all the lost ground of the 
shorter range. The Canadian team was hopelessly behind. 
At the last and longest range. 1,000yds., the British and American 
teams tied, so that the British were victorious over the Americairs 
by the 12 points to the good made at the 900yd. range, the scores 
bcipg: British, 1459; American, 1447; Canadian, 1373. 
The next, and. succeeding, contests for the Paima trophy, if it is 
not captured by teams representing ether nations, will be 
held at Bisley England, next year. This will impose a much 
greater expenditure of money to meet expenses, and the patriotic 
generosity of Americans may be called upon to supply the needed 
arh'ount. ^ , rr

latematiooal Rifle Match. 
New York, Sept 11. — Editor Forest and Stream ; Re the Palma, 
The scores made by competitors for place on Canadian team were 
simplj' wonderful. The be.st eight exceeded by many points the 
score of the Irish team last year, with their match rifles. 
Our team cannot be beaten unless it is by the coach. 
At Sea Girt, last year, in the International matches, the coach 
sat behind the shooter and "ordered" him what to do. This re- 
duced the skill of the team to the ability of two men. The official 
coaches this year are Hayes and Scott. 
I do not think Hayes ever shot a long range match; albeit be 
is very skillful at the short ranges. Scott did some good work in 
the old days of twenty years ago, but was low man on the team 
last year, and made, I believe, less than an average of outers on 
the Wimbleton cup this year. 
The change of temperature \rom the very warm weather we had 
here last week may prove a serious stumbling blocl<. as the varia- 
tions of elevation will be greater. Frank Hyd*.

Mr. C. Palmer, Morning House, Farrar Road, Bangor, N. W., 
writes us as fol ows. "I inclose cutting from Shooting Times, pro- 
claiming F Gilbert to be a red Indian. I might say I have met 
xVlr. Gilbert personally, as I was one of the defeated English team 
last year (clay pigeoii match). The visit of this team gave me ai 
very high opinion of America, as they were one and all a splendid 
lot of fellows." The excerpt is as follows: "A wonderful score 
at clay birds shooting is reported from the other side. A man 
named Fred Gilbert, who, we understand, is a Red Indian, shoot- 
ing through a day's programme of twelve events, never missed a' 
single bird, scoring 200 hits straight. The birds were, it is said, 
very strongly throvvn, fully 60yds. This Indian is known among 
the tribes by the name of 'Chief Heap Talk,' and somehow It 
seems to us that this title rather spoils the story." 
Mr. C. G. Blandford, captain of the Ossining Gun Club, in- 
forms us that his club will in the near future offer a silver cup to 
be -shot for by seven-man teams of the Rockland, Orange, 
Dutchess and Westchester counties, members of teams respect 
lively to be residents of the coimties named. The first shoot will 
he on the grounds of the Ossining Gun Chit). The victorious club 
shall have the privi ege of taking the cup and holding the next 
shoot on its grounds. The club winning it twice owns it. Thei 
men must be amateurs. Targets one cent, 25 targets per man. Thei 
officers" elected at the annual meeting on Sept. 10, for the ensuing' 
year are as follows: President, Franklin Brandreth; Vice-Presi- 
dent, Dr. E. B. Sherwood; Secretary, W. P. Hall; Treasurer, 
Amo.s Bedell; • Financial Secretary and Captain, C. G. Blandford. 
The Dewar trophy, which was put in competition in June, 1900,i 
and was to so continue under certain specific conditions till June, 
1902, had a disputed title, it being contended by Dr. A. A. 
Webber that unclfr the conditions the cup was his property, while 
a part of the committee which drew up the conditions held the 
contrary. Capt. J. A. H. Dressel, who was made the sole arbiter 
under the co.nditions, called upon the donor, Mr. Frederick 
Glassttp, agent of the Dew.v Company, who proved to be a gen- 
tleman of eminent fairness. On the original conditions and facts 
bein.g submitted to hifii, he readily conceded Dr. Webber's claim 
to the Dewar trophy, so. that the m.nftor is pleasantly settled, 
On the third day of the Du Bois (Pa.) Rod and Gun Club'si 
tournament, Sept. 11, six four-man teams contested for the Hibner 
trophy, valued at $100, and $20 in gold. The Pittsburg team won 
with a score of 87, Atkinson making a straight score of 25. The 
other teams were Williamsport, Clearfield, Kane, Du Bois and 
Windber. The conditions of this competition were open to any 
recognized gun club in Pennsylvania, no entrance fee, targets' 
5 cents, 25 targets per man. To become the property of a con-" 
testing club, it must be won by it three times in succession at 
the annual shoots of the Du Bois Rod and Gun Club, which will 
.add $20 each year to it.

The secrtl.iry, Mr. M. J. Cunningham, writes us as follows:] 
"The tenth annual tournament of the Arizona Sportsmen's Asso- 
ciation will be held at Bisbee, Ariz., Oct. 24, 25 and 26. The 
Bisbee Gun Club will spare no expense in making this meeting 
one of the most successful ever he d in Arizona. We have as-f 
surances that all gun clubs throughout the Territory will send 
large delegations, and we are now preparing for one hundred 
.shooters to participate. The official programme will be issued in 
the near future."
