Overcome
with
emotion
the
orator
sat
down
and
applied
himself
to
a
huge
plate
of
sandwiches
before
him
.
182
"
And
now
,
"
said
Barbicane
,
"
let
us
quit
the
domain
of
poetry
and
come
direct
to
the
question
.
"
183
"
By
all
means
,
"
replied
the
members
,
each
with
his
mouth
full
of
sandwich
.

"
The
problem
before
us
,
"
continued
the
president
,
"
is
how
to
communicate
to
a
projectile
a
velocity
of
12,000
yards
per
second
.
Let
us
at
present
examine
the
velocities
hitherto
attained
.
General
Morgan
will
be
able
to
enlighten
us
on
this
point
.
"
185
"
And
the
more
easily
,
"
replied
the
general
,
"
that
during
the
war
I
was
a
member
of
the
committee
of
experiments
.
I
may
say
,
then
,
that
the
100-pounder
Dahlgrens
,
which
carried
a
distance
of
5,000
yards
,
impressed
upon
their
projectile
an
initial
velocity
of
500
yards
a
second
.
186
The
Rodman
Columbiad
threw
a
shot
weighing
half
a
ton
a
distance
of
six
miles
,
with
a
velocity
of
800
yards
per
second
--
a
result
which
Armstrong
and
Palisser
have
never
obtained
in
England
.
"
187
"
This
,
"
replied
Barbicane
,
"
is
,
I
believe
,
the
maximum
velocity
ever
attained
?

"
It
is
so
,
"
replied
the
general
.
189
"
Ah
!
"
groaned
J.
T.
Maston
,
"
if
my
mortar
had
not
burst
--
--
"
190
"
Yes
,
"
quietly
replied
Barbicane
,
"
but
it
did
burst
.
We
must
take
,
then
,
for
our
starting
point
,
this
velocity
of
800
yards
.
We
must
increase
it
twenty-fold
.
Now
,
reserving
for
another
discussion
the
means
of
producing
this
velocity
,
I
will
call
your
attention
to
the
dimensions
which
it
will
be
proper
to
assign
to
the
shot
.
You
understand
that
we
have
nothing
to
do
here
with
projectiles
weighing
at
most
but
half
a
ton
.
