steam-Air Cannon.

The Baton Rouge (Louisiana) Advo-
cate gives the following description of q
steam air-cannon invented by Louisi-
Hanian, with favorable recommendation
of y to the Legislature Of that State;
"This invention consists Of locomo-
tive capable Of running on common roads,
which supersedes horsepower in all draft
operations, and is adapted to either land
or water. To this is attached one or
more air-cannon, which, in view Of the
present scarcity of powder, is n great
desideratum, as air can be made more
effective than powder, being liable to
compression many thousand times less
than its bulk. These cannon will also
have tho following qualities to recon-
mend them, viz:
No report, little if any conclusion, no
heating and no smoke-vhich prove
their availability, whether placed upon
gunboats or waF-ships, or used on land
for river Profession, where it would be
most serviceablc Along the banks Of
the Mississippi leyees would protect the
lower part Of the machine, while the
upper is secured by its own inclined
plane. The cannon, being breech load
ing, is loaded with great ease and speed,
land, by being removed from the machine,
the latter can be applied to making ditch
es, throwing up embankments, and can
also be used as fre-ongipe. In tho
open field it may well be called a flying
artillery, as it could run through any
ranks, either infantry or cavalry, and
open lane fourteen feet wide.
