THE Steele, of Paris, publishes an arti-
Gle very interesting to sportsmen, and
of double-barreled gun bursting, ninety
five can be traced to defects in the left
barrel. The reason is simply that the
right is most frequently used and re.
loaded, perhaps ten times to the left one
being discharged once. Every time the
right barrel is discharged the gunpowder
in tho left is pulverized more or less by
the shock, which, therefore, leaves a
space between the charge and the wadding
by settling. Naturally when the left
barrel is discharged it frequently explodes.
These accidents can be avoided by sending
the ramrod home with one or two smart
blows into the non-discharged barrel every
time the other is reloaded
