The Gun Que stiOn.

Upon the first page of our paper to-day
will be found an interesting communication
from Mr.. WIZARD upon the causes of the
bursting Of heavy cannon. When We con-
slider the immense cost of big guns, in re-
speet Of their original expense, of their fail
ure to serve their purpose in battle, and the
destruction to life they may occasion by
bursting, it is matter Of great importance
to the public, who pay and get killed, to
learn what may prevent failures and catas-
trophies in gun-making.
