, where there was 'a set of hydraulic shears of suf- ficient power to handle this gun. In this ex- hibit are found other guns, such as an 8-inch, central pivoting gun; a 1 6-inch, 4o-pound, quick-firing gun; a 5-inch, quick-firing, 40- pound gun, and smaller ones. Monster hy- draulic jacks for handling guns, armor-plates ip to 1 6 inches thick, iron cables, gun car- riages, etc. , complete the exhibit, which re- quired twenty-one cars specially constructed of steel and iron to bring it to the g...rounds. Not the least ' interesting thing in this ex- hibit is the immense steel target 8 feet square and 16 inches thick, and show- ing the effect of a gun firing 1 2-inch balls which weigh 600 pounds. It js asserted in all seriousness by the German engineers ac- companying this exhibit that if the big gun were fired on the grounds the concussion would wreck every building in the park. Herr Krupp intends to present his monster gun to the United States Government for the defense of the great port of Chicago.
