said downtown leather merchant TO a
New York Journal reporter, that many
student has overlooked. The objects q

for Il & 10 leather that we owe the intro
duc,ion Of light artillery. Leather can
non have been actually tried on the bat.
tlehold, and what is more, turned the
tide Of one Of the greatest battles Of mod
ern times. The inventor Of leathern artil-
leIy was certain Colonel Robert Scott, a
Scoichman In the service Of Charles /. Of
England.
He constructed guns Of hardened
leather and experimentaIly tried them.
The result was that they were pronounced
superior 70 guns made Of brass or iron.
The colonel, however, did not live long to
enjoy the greatest triumph Of his inven-
ton. He died in 1881, and monument
erected 10 his memoFyI have seen in a
churchyard in London. This monument
represents him as an armor-clad, fierce
looking man, wearing a heavy mustache
and a pointed beard.
'Tn the very year Of the colonel's death
the effectiveness Of his leathern artillery
was amply proved on the memorable field
Of Liepsic, where, September 2, 1881,
Gustayus Adolphus achieved his SPLENDID
victory over the imperialists under Cen
eral lilly. It Is said that it was owing to
the invention Of Colonel Scott that the
victory was obtained. The guns were
found to be 30 easily carried that q small
battery could fly from one part Of the field
to another, and thus artillery be brought
to bear when most needed-a thing i'm
possible with the heavy artillery Of that
period. Certain II Is that leathern artil-
lery was used In this great battle by
Adolphus, though It Is equally certain that
the,guns were never used Afterward. The
reason Of that, however, was that the
leather guns having demonstrated the
value Of light artillery, way was dis
covered Of making the metal guns lighter,
and the greater durability Of the latter
gave them the superiority.
As used in the battle Of Leipsic, the
leather gun consisted Of a copper tube Of
the thickness Of parchment, strengthened
BY iron plates running parallel with the
length Of the gun, bound with iron bands.
The tube was then bound with several
coatings Of cord, with cement Of mastic
between each coating, and the whole in
closed in acase Of rough leather. The
weight Of the gun was such that two men
could easily cary IT."
In the year Of 1870 q SNUFF box manu-
inctnrer named Richmond invented q
leather cannon, which was tried under
inspection At Woolwich, but II did not
prove as successful as some Of It's iorerun-
ners. The celebrated Peter Pinder satir-
