EXTRAORDINARY DISCOVERY IN
FIRE-A.RMS.

Some interesting experiments were made a few
days since at Vincennes, to ascertain the accuracy
in firing and the distance traversed by a new mus-
ket bullet proposed to replace the bullet fired from
the rifles with which the Chasseurs and Zouaves
are armed. It is said that this new ball, indepen-
dently of its superiority both in precision and dis-
tance, offers the remarkable advantage of being
fired from a smooth barrel, by which the rifle
barrel may be dispensed with, which is so trouble-
some to keep clean during a campaign, and is so
difficult to load. General Courtigis, Inspector-
General of the Imperial School for Teaching to
Fire, who has given a favourable opinion as to the
merits of the new ball, directed the experiments, of
which the following are the results :—Of 100 balls
of the old fashion fired from a rifle at 600 yards'
distance, 43 struck the target, and 14 balls at 800
yards. Of 100 newly-invented balls fired from a
smooth barrel, at 600 yards, 65 struck the target,,
and 39 at 800 yards—being a difference of 25 per
cent. in favour of the new ball. A still more ex-
traordinary fact is, that the new ball will kill at a
distance of 1,500 yards, while a rifle ball is not
effective at more than 1,000 yards. Major Nessler,
the present director of the Imperial School of
Firing, is the inventor of the new bullet.

[ADVERTISEMENT.]—It is with pleasure we notice the
daily increase of cures without medicine of indigestion
(dyspepsia), flatulency, constipation, nervous, bilious, and
liver complaints, cough, asthma, consumption, and debility,
by Du Barry's delicious Revalenta Arabiea. We quote
the following :—Cure No. 52,087, Field Marshal Duke of
Pluskow, of a gastric inflammation of the stomach. Cure

many years' horrible sufferings of the nerves and an obsti-
nate constipation. Cure No. 48,721, General •Baron de
Zuluskowski, of many years' fearfill disorders of the dives-
tive function. Cure o. 71, of dyspepsia, from the Right
Honourable the Lord Stuart de Decies :—" I have derived
considerable benefit from Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica
Food, and consider it due to yourselves and the publio to
authorise the publication of these lines.—Stuart de-Dccies:'
