The bomb Shell.

The bomb shell is probably the most
fearful missile TO which sunpowdcr has
given birth. A shell is hollow ball of
iron. The larger ones, OF eight and ten
inch diameter, are generally filled with
powder only, doing their work by crashing
from roof to basement, and by hurlinV
death with every fragment when bursting
The small six inch shells are filed with
!eaden musket balls through whole in the
side. they are consolidated into mass
by pouring in melted sulphur, after which
being put in Il lathe, hole is drilled
down through lead and sulphur. perforat.
ing the whole mass The diameter of this
hole Is the same as that in the wall of the
shell. 1t will contain about half a pound
of powder. This being poured in even
with the outer surface Of the shell, fuse
is fitted into 'hr nriice, making the she'll
water proof When fred from thu gun, it
can be made to explode Ia one, two, or
four minutes after leaving it, at the option
of the gunncr. Its first Office is to destroy
by striking, ike an ordinary ball, then to
burst aud scatter the bullets on every
side. The fusc is isnited by the discharge
OF tho gun.
