It appears that The initial velocity OF cannon

OF a musket about !, 100 feet; but thess vsloci-
ties rapidly diminish from The moment the
ball cults tbe meath Of the gua, and are greatly
inhuencsd By the quantity 3 and quality OF the
powder, the force used 10 rsmming the wsds,
thc elevation Of the guH, and the length Of the
bore.
The state Of the staosphsre also has some
influence, the velocity Of ths ball In very 3rF
weather being ons-ssvsnth grsster than VIXEN
the air is loaded with vap0r. Tn sieges, heavy
cannon are used, while in engagement iH the

great variation 10 the action Of an these mis-
Siles, and it is remarkable what very small
amount OF resistaBes will defect a mlsket
ball from its courses A man, FOR instance,
has beer struck on he throat, and the bail, in
stead ~ passing through the neck, only pens-
trsted the skin, performing q complete circle
under the integumsnt, and lodging close 10

hsrmlsssness Of slugs and musket balls when
lodged in some parts of the body, nature form

rounding parts. Many instances are on rec
ord OF men carrying BULLETS thus encys.ed for
years, without much pain sr suffering.
