some light upon the problem ot what might
be done against All advancing army by Brit.

| for rest, tile accomplished Gilkes discharged
no less than ninety-seven rounds il two min
every three seconds, scoring, this prodigious
swiftness notwithstanding, l3 bulls eyes, 80
centres and Al cutters, only two bullets in all
missing the target. Here is marksman
who. in so brief q time, could apparently
slav or wound at least fifty enemies out of a
hundred at grape shot range, and certainly
no mitraillerse could accomplish similar
result. Conceive what havoc might be
wrought upon foe by body of five hum
trcd such. men provided with the Soper
ora similar piece, and hidden about in the
abundant cover of English fields! They
would sting all enemy to death with perpet-
ual shots rom invisible nlizz,es; aud, ex-
cept upon such places as the South DoWiis OF
England. aad some commons, nothing hos
ilc.could advance except IN skirmishing or
der, and from cover to cover. Simply max
ing small arit!metical SUM, we calculate
that the 2,5OO competitors for the Queens
prize could fire with such weapon as the
Soper l75,0O0 shots III three minutes. Tar
gets of course differ considerably flom adj
