THE new BALL AND CARTRIDGE ron f1sS
~ 0oyKkyNEST.
Ever since the furore on tho subject Of
the success or Che needlc-gun I'm Europe
tho Government here has been besieged by
parties eager TO have II adopt all kinds Of
improvements In firearms, projectiles, and
cartridges. AZ last, and after many trials
of the seycralinventions presented, an or
der, has been issued for the manufacture Of
a large quantity Of the new bali and cart
ridge under ]. F. Dunlap's patent, Nc,
-
connected with the New York and Eric
railroad. II is said that this new ball, on
an even trial with the. Enfield ball, passed
through fourteen inches Of solid plank,
while The Enfield ball, ON the same occa-
sion, tried against the same target, only
penetrated seven inches. 4 This trial Of the
merits of the two balls took place in the
presence Of General Morgan u. Smith and
several members of the Ordnance Buresu.
The improvement In the cartridge Is thatit
ivnites simultaneously In three places.
front, centre, and rear. The order was
given last week for the manufacture Of the
two. The ball is pointed at both ends, does
not whiz, and cannot strike sidewise. If
all the merits over other balls which Is
claimed for this new one are found correct
by experience, then we may look for an
other sensation to arouse Europe with
