MILITARY TERMS.

The difference bet,ccen Grape, Canister, Shrop
nell and ShcN.-Grape consists of nine shots ar
ranged in three layers, which vary in size accord
ing to the cabre of the gun; they held toyeth,
er by two plates of about onefourteenth of an inch
less in diameter than the calbre of the gun, two
rings a bolt and nut. The canvass bag arrange
ment is too old for this war; is not so simple or
durable, and has not been used for years CAMS
ter for gun contains twenty seven small cast iron
balls arranged in four layers, the top of six, the
remainder of seven each for hoWitzcr, it Contains
forty eight small iron balls in four layers of twelve
each; for the same calbre, you will see that the
balls for canister are 10 tin cylinder, closed at
the bottom by thick cast iron plate ora wooden
sabot, aud at the top sheet iron plate, with a
handle attached the intcrsticcs between the balls
are closely packed with saw-dust, to prevent
crowdng when the piece is fired Shrapnel con-
ssts of very thin shell, which is filled with mus
ket balls the interstices then filled by pouring
in melted sulphur, when a hole is bored through
the sulphur and bullets to receive the bursting
charge
Now to explain the difference between "s!rap-
nel'' of ''sphercal case" aud ''sLrlt.' TIE de-
sructive force of shrapnel is what receives fron
the charge in the gun, the pow der in the shrapnel
being only to break the envelope and spread the
balls, they still moving forward by force OF the iu-
pulse they received from the charge IN The gun
A shell is made very much thicker than the epvel-
ope of shrapncl, and is nearly filled with powder,
aud will do great execution If it e1podes on the
ground, it having destructive qualities III itself,
aside from the discharge of the gun. A shrapRel
she'll has only half of the charge of powder that
shell proper has; THIS "a FOUNDER shrapnel CON
tains one hundred and seventy~fVe mus ket balls
and six ounces of powder. A 24-pounder shell
has twelve ounces of powder. A 6poun Ter shrap-
mel has thirty nine musket balls and twenty-five
