THE NEW GUN.
OF DOUBTFUL USE TO BRITAIN. Press Association. AUCKLAND, April 2. Professor Brown/physics professor at Auckland University, who lias just returned from England, heard nothing whatever of Simpson's electric gon. Ho considers it is quite possible that such velocity r.s stated in the cable could bo obtained oh the principle of an inductive coil with a coil 100 yards long, and a sufficient)'.}' powerful dynamo. There was no reason why 30,000 ft per second or even a higher velocity might not be obtained if a gun were worked on that principle. Any other nation mi<dit~ easily adont- it. It was doubtfuf if it would be of benefit to Britain.
