A Naw SHELL FROM

.It is not very

generally known that shells have been east in %holism%
weekly, at the Vauxhall Foundry, and nipped for Wool-
wich, where they are tested. At Fawcett's foundry, mortars
of large sin are being cast, end the shells and the mortar
are superior to those supplied from other places. The mot-
tan are all proved by hydraulic pressure before they leave
the foundry. One of the engineers at Fawcett's has made
as impartial discovery in the construction of a shell, and
the Admiralty and War-office are delighted with the im-
provement. The shell is cast very thin, and lined inside in a
way, which is a secret, to resist the influence of molten iron.
With molten iron the shell is to be filled, and, while in a
fluid state, fired. Each shell will contain 60Ibs. of iron in
a state of fusion, and where the shell fdlis destruction ex-
tends around, if on damp ground, no man can lie within 60
yards of it. The fillirg of each shell will take 25 minutes,
and there will be no difficulty, in ship or trenches, preparing
the molten metal. In ancient times forts were defended by
pouring molten lend on the besiegers ; now, we will project
the molten metal upon the besieged.—Lfonpool paper.
