Five
hundred
thousand
,
"
added
the
major
.
"
Eight
hundred
thousand
,
"
screamed
Maston
.
A
moment
of
silence
followed
this
triple
proposal
;
it
was
at
last
broken
by
the
president
.
"
Gentlemen
,
"
he
quietly
said
,
"
I
start
from
this
principle
,
that
the
resistance
of
a
gun
,
constructed
under
the
given
conditions
,
is
unlimited
.
I
shall
surprise
our
friend
Maston
,
then
,
by
stigmatizing
his
calculations
as
timid
;
and
I
propose
to
double
his
800,000
pounds
of
powder
.
"
"
Sixteen
hundred
thousand
pounds
?
"
shouted
Maston
,
leaping
from
his
seat
.
"
Just
so
.
"
"
We
shall
have
to
come
then
to
my
ideal
of
a
cannon
half
a
mile
long
;
for
you
see
1,600,000
pounds
will
occupy
a
space
of
about
20,000
cubic
feet
;
and
since
the
contents
of
your
cannon
do
not
exceed
54,000
cubic
feet
,
it
would
be
half
full
;
and
the
bore
will
not
be
more
than
long
enough
for
the
gas
to
communicate
to
the
projectile
sufficient
impulse
.
"
"
Nevertheless
,
"
said
the
president
,
"
I
hold
to
that
quantity
of
powder
.
Now
,
1,600,000
pounds
of
powder
will
create
6,000,000,000
litres
of
gas
.
Six
thousand
millions
!
You
quite
understand
?
"
"
What
is
to
be
done
then
?
"
said
the
general
.
