MODERN WARFARE.-Sir Charles Shaw in a let
ter to the Times, reviews article which recently
appeared in that journal, to the effect that now,
from the improved earns of precision death with
unfaling certainty will reach the remotest quarter
of the field, and sweep away every living thing.
He says that unless these improved arms are used
scientifically, death will not be sent with unerrng
certainty, and in this is the great difficulty He
proceeds to say Armstrong; guns, and those con-
structing at Yincennes, will revolutionize the
whole system of siege and sea warfare, yet that it
can be shown the lighter the arms of destruction
the more etticacious it will be. He contrasts his
re-battery, which consists of twenty-four barrels
with the artillery with which they are practising
at Vincennes, and which can put twenty muskei
balls at 2oo0 yards into target six feet square;
and he says his instrument has the adyentora :,
