C., Aug. 4.—The Ordinances Bureau ef the war depart ment is greatly interested in a piece of work that is now being done by the Otis Steel Company of Cleve- land. The result of the experiment is being awaited with some concern. The fortification act of 1896 author ized the secretary of war to enter into contract with Dr. Gat'ing, the famous inventor of the gatling gun, to cast in one piece a gun of eight inch caliber euitable for fortification defense, carrying an appropriation of $40,000. Dr. Gatling presented to the ordi- nance officers a plan of constructing a gun of large celiber in ore piece by casting the molten steel in a swirling motion until it beccmes cool encught to set. The doctor believes that this motion will give a fibrous texture to the steal, produc ing toall inteats and purposes a wire wound gun, such as the best guos now ip us3.
