Leather Cannon.

''Let me give you bit of history
Journal reporter, "that many student
has overlooked. The objects of peace
are not all that leather figures in, for it is
to leather that we owe the Introduction
of light artillery. Leather cannon have
been actually tried on the battlefield,
and what is more, turned the tide of one
of the greatest battles or modern times.
The inventor of leather artillery was
certain Colonel Robert Scott, Scotch
man in the service of Charles of Eng.
land.
"He constructed guns of hardened
leather and experimentally tried them.
The result was that they were pronounced
superior to guns made of brass or iron.
The Colonel, however, did not live long
enough to enjoy the greatest triumph CT
his invention. He died in 1881, and
monumunt erected to his memory have
seen in churchyard in London. This
monument represents him as an armor
clad, fierce looking nan, wearing heavy
mustache and pointed beard.
''In the very year of the Colonel's
death the effectiveness of his leather ar
tillery was amply proved on the memora-
BILE field of Leipsic, where, September z,
1881, Gustavus Adolphus achieved his
splendid victory over the Imperialist un-
der General Tilly. 1t is said that it was
owing to the invention of Colonel Scott
that the victory was obtained.
The guns were found to be SO easily
carried that small battery could fly
from one part of the field to another and
thus artillery be brought to bear when
most needed, a thing impossible to the
heavy cannon of that period. Certain il
is that leather artillery was used in this
great battle by Adolphus, though it is
equally certain that the guns were never
uScu dlttIWdId. uC iCdooh Va tudty hOW'
ever, was that the leather guns having
demonstrated the value of light artillery,
away was discovered of making the metal
guns lighter, and the great durability of
the latter gave them the superiority.
GAS used in the battle of Leipsic the
leather gun consisted of a copper tube OF
thickness of parchment, strengthened by
plates of iron 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 en-
closed in a case of tough leather. The
weight of the gun was such that two men
could easily carry it.
