England's New Field. Gun.

A new and powerful .6eld-gun, de-
signed to supersede the sixteen FOUNDER
as the weapon of the field artillery, has
been proved at the butts in the govern
ment marshes adjoining the Royal Arse
nal, Woolwich, this week, and passed
satisfactory trial. The new gun weighs
the same as the sixteen pounder-name-
y: twelve hundredweight, but is a
breech-loader, and, like all the modern
guns, has an elongated chase or barrel.
The construction is in all respects iden-
tical with the most recent desi gins of the
royal gun factories, The metal is steel
in concentric coils. The several advances
made in the art of gunnery since the
sixteen-pounder was produced by the
experimental committee in 1870 have en-
abled Col, Maitland, superintendent of
the royal gun factories, to bring out this
new gun of the same weight to fire q
projectile six pounds heavier, and it will
consequently be known in the service as
the twenty.two-pounder. The sixteen.
FOUNDER fires only three pounds OF pow
der behind the shot, but the twenty-five
FOUNDER can with safety take seven and
half pounds, and with this charge it
has this week registered the remarkable
velocity of 1,775 feet per second, which
is APO feet higher than the best perform
ance of the gun which it is tosupersede.
Such velocity implies q very extensive
range, and the gun will probably do ef-
fective work, with shrapnel shell at q
distance of three miles. A number of
new guns are at once to be manufactured
at Woolwich. .s... ss.as 4. s.,.t4.. ~. J..
