History OF Cannon.

The following extracts from Mr. Head
ley's article in Harper's for October, isiust
aow OF great interest ,
There is a great discrepancy among
writes as to the time in which artillery Is
used. The word cannon is evidently de-
rived from the French word game, reed /;
and they were made OF wood wrapped in
numerous folds Of linen, aud secured by
iron boons. Some say the Chinese used
them 80 years after Christ, and that a de-
serter from Holiopolis introduced them in
to G Greece in 676. Conde, in his history OF
the Moors of Spain, says they used them IN
attack and defence Of fortified places as
early as lll8 and SO on down I'll we
have Cordova, in Spain, besieged by siuI
lery in 1880. Ferdinand w. is said to
have taken Gihralier from the Mdors oy
artillery in 1903 There seems to he good
reasons for believing that SPAN ana LAZY
used artillery about this per'ou Many
donht these statements, aud assert that
there is not ten years difference in the prin'
cipol powers of Europe Taking this view, +,

ment of the fourteenth century.

To be, anon, a Youth full grOwn;
A hero in his mothers eyes,
A young Apollo in his owni
To initiate the ways OF men

To fall in love, to WOO and we'd;
With seelhing brain to scheme and plan;
