have been the Board of Ordinance with the
Dahlgreen 8 and 10 inch guns, that all our
new steam sloop and gun boats, haye been
armed with them. They are similar to the
Columbiads, and their weight, range, charge
and weight Of shot are nearly similar They
have stood severe tests of trial and proof,
and are undoubtedly the best naval guns
usedin the world. Rifed cannon for field
service are now attracting much attention
among military men. About three years

manufactory in Cabotville, Mass, called
Mortars are as ancient as cannon, and
were employed to thraw red hot iron and
stones before the invention Of shells. The
first shells used were in 1896 when Naples
was beseiged by Charles VIII. at which
seige they were said to have made terrible
havoc among the enemy. They are manu-.
factured OF iron and brass. The iron are 8,
10 and l3 inch in calibre, and the brass 81
and q and inch in bore The 13 inch
iron require lbs to the charge the 10
inch lbs, and the g. inch 2 lbs. The largest
mortar in the world was cast by NJ. Mallet,
for the British Government, to carry shell
weighing over 16 tons, but it PRAYED fail
ure. Il. was 60 inch bore. Mcrtars are very
little used at the present time, having given
place to howitzers and the new ritied guns.
Howitzers are pieces Of ordinance Of me-
dium length betw cen the cannon and the
mortars, used for throwing shells or large
balls at point blank range. or at small ele-
vation.t They are usually made of brass.
The first howitzer was said TO have been in.
vented by Be,idor, in Germany, and was
used at the seize of Ath, ia 1897. Howit-
zers range as 32, "a, IL and 6 Founders the
latter size being used for light batteries in
field service.

Carronades are short howitzers, first cast
at the Carron works from which they first
derived their names. Workmen were 1rst
employed on these guns about the year 1879.
They are mostly used on ship board and are
now abandoned for guns of more recent con-
struction. The carronades used in the
British Navy are from four to five feet in
length and of The calibre of from to 10

COLUMBIAD GUN.


The Columbiad is recently invented gun
of great range, combining the essential quail
tiles of the ordinary sea coast gun, howitzer
and mortar. They are Of eight and ten inch
callibre, and are capable of projecting a solid
shot or shell with large charge Of pow der
at an angle of from 3 deg. below TO 80 deg.
above the horizon. In outer appearance, the
Columblad is similar to the ordinary sea
coast cannon, but its internal shape more
like the Howitzer. Its full iange is about
tHo miles with all extra range of three miles.
The eight inch weighs about 5000 lbs, and
the charge of powder used is 10 lbs. The
weight of the solid shot is 46 lbs, the shell
3s lbs. The ten-inch gun weighs $4,000
lbs, ard the charge used is Is lbs OF powder
the solid shot weighing 1913 lbs, and the
shell olbs.t In 1859. thero were 1919
eight and ten inch Columpiads and sea coast
howi,zers in use in our Notifications, OF
which over roo were Columbians, and we
are informed by en- officer Of the ordinance,
that, up to :he'pfesent time, there were over
l 900 in use, and new ones being manufac-
turcd daily. Most of our heavy Notifications,
from Maine to Florida, have in use these ter
rible guns
THE DAnLGRSEh GUN.
Is ased for ship service and naval batteries,
and is the most perfect naval gun ever con-
structed. twas invented by Commander
John A. Dahlsreen Of the United States
Navy, TO be used either for shell or solid shot.
Its merit consists Of the reduction Of the pro
portion of metal between the muzzie and the
trunnions, which is found in guns of the
