Ellery C. Stowell argues in the Century that future warfare will rely on great engines of destruction operated by a chosen, physically perfected corps. Taxation and national organization will fund these machines as war becomes the monopoly of a few powerful states and civilians are spared.

Velocity of Big Shells and the Earth’s Center Time
French geometer Maurice Sauger studied shell and bullet speeds and asked how long a stone would take to fall to the earth’s center. He concluded about 20 minutes 34 seconds, while Gassendoll and Mersenne offered different estimates. Sanger argues the stone would be drawn downward by the core and upward by the penetrating shell, with unknown density variation inside Earth. If a shaft pierced the earth it would emerge at the Antipodes in 88 minutes 30 seconds, then return and reappear after 1 hour 7 minutes.
