The Rifle.

W. find in "The Yankee" the fol.
lowing in reference to the principle Of
construction in the rifle, which is SO Pc
culiarly the American weapon that all
should comprehend its principle Of ac-
ton.
"Many persons who are very ex-
pert in the use Of the rifle, know moth
ing Of the principle on which it oper-
ates, and would be at q loss if asked
why a grooved barrel throws a ball
truer than a smooth bore. The rea-
sons are these:
sin the first place, no bullet is or can
be cast perfectly spherical. One side is
always heavier than the other, and the
ball, therefore, swerves from the right
line Of projection. However hard it
may be to prove this, theoretically,
practice demonstrates it. The same
smooth bore, immovably fixed, twice
loaded, with the same charge Of the
same powder, and with balls cast in the
same mould, will not plant them both
in the same spot, at the same distance.
"lThe rifle barrel is a female screw,
which gives the tightly driven ball a ro-
tary motion, so tina! if the bullet, or
rather the slug, swerve with one twist
Of the screw, another revolution cor
reefs the error. There are but three
motions in a rifle ball, the straight for
ward, the spiral, and the downward,
caused by the power Of gravity. A

may not be aware that the Zuyder Zee
was at n time an inland fresh water
lake, such as it is described by Pom

into a gulf Of the sea was effected in
the thirteenth century, when violent
storms destroyed the barrier between
the ocean and the lake. Traces Of this
barrier still exist in the sandy islands
and shoals between the Kelder and
Ter Schelling.

Rifles are sighted, therefore, to meet
this deviation. On leaving the barrel,
the ball moves on above the line of
sight, continually falling in a ~parabolic
curve, till it intersects it. The point
OF intersection is called the point blank.
