4 Formidable Weapon.

A dispatch appeared IN the Tribune a
few days since 10 the effect that the war
department had ordered some of the
rev Hotchkiss guns tor use upon the
plains. The descriptions OF this new and
terrible arm show that it is constructed
somewhat upon the plan of the Calling
gun, but that it is tar more effective. Ii
consists of a group of five revolving bar
rels, with a breech-blOck, hopper and
crank. The barrels are CT fluid, COM
pressed steel, 51.23 inches long, and ritled
in twelve grooves. The trunniOns are so
mounted that the gun can be trained to
make small angle with the axis OF the
carriage. The total length OF the gun Is
1884 inches, its weight LOO pounds,
and the caissOn carries 900 rodncs.
Both shot and shell are used, the former
being of steel and the latter of csst-irou.
The experiments thus far made have
been with those constructed for naval
use, which differ somewhat in their
arrangements from the field guns, though
both are worked upon the same princi-
pie. The Dutch eommandant OF naval
artillery, who has thoroughly tested
them, considers that tOrDedO boats can
not have the slightest chances of success
against them. We have seen no accounts
Of the Use of the field guns, but from the
action of the wal department in ordering
them it is evident that the experiments
with them must have been fully as sue
cessful as those with the naval guns.

Outline

( Among all known remedies for disease,
none perhaps has such universal use as
quinine. In its place it may be regarded
as a specific, and Samson in accom-
plishing It's work. The discovery Of
quinine is Of comparatively recent date,
| having been made by & French chemist,
| PelleueT, about sixty years ago, and for
which discovery the French academy
awarded MIN prize Of ten thousand
| francs. It's value in all forms Of levers,
| especially those OF Temittent and inter-
mitteut lorms, Can not be over estimated.
As tonic and pr0phylactic IN all MAJ
larisl districts, no known remedy can Tor
a moment be compared TO it, and it
would be Difficult. to find a substitute in
/ case the supply should become exhausted.
| The high price Of the genuine Bolivian
cnch0na calisaya, owing to lis universal
use and the limited region from which it
is obtained, offers great temptation to
palm Of upon the market other than the
Genuine. The b7rks thus obtained fur
nish quinidine, instead OF quiuine, and
the article in the market is thus largely
diluted and impoverished, and the hu-
?
siderable attention has been attracted to
this imposition, and the careful physi-
clan depends much upon the names OF
tae manufacturing chemist. While the
quinine, as we remarked, was discovered
only sixty years sgO, the ciucnOns bark
has been well known remedy for over
two centuries IL fact, there is q To-
nance about its discovery and its name
In 1888 the countess Of CuChOn, the
wis OF the governor OF Peru, was seized
with 4 violent fever, ana was cured by
an infusion OF what was known before as
Peruvian bark, or J6sUiJ's bark. From
this act tle name Of the countess was
associated with the bark, and from Gin
chon it has become Clnch0ns. II Is

localities as to the thrift of the plants
