other nation for the same calibers, but we
have not made any guns of the largest size.
The italian Government has mounted Krupp
guns in forts weighing 10 tons, with cali
Der of 16 inches. These guns were tested with
pro1ectiies weighing over 20o0 pounds and
powder charges Of S64 pounds There is
general tendency to limit the weight of
guns, to make them less costly, more dura-
BE and easier to handle.
Rspid-fire guns. the successors of the old
breech-lOading swivels, are among the trl-
umphs of modern Eunnery. Aimed from
the shoulder On pivot-mount they can be
fired at the rate of thirty shots per minute
for 6-pounders. The shells can penetrate
the sides and boilers of ordinary iron or
wooden ships and be made to explode with
destructive effect at any rate up
to two miles. The service Of these
guns depends upon the use of fixed
ammunition in metal cases. These car
tridges and the strong and simple breech
mechanism Of these smaller guns are now
applied in much larger calibers. iueludin q

The army has undertaken the reconstruc-

batteries by similar methods Both serV-
ices are studying the progress Of ordnance

results of experimental progress. 1t is pro-
vided by law that onr ornaments shall be

Government, under rigid rules for
inspection. is creating high standards
for workmanship and material and
assisting the Industrial progress Of
the nation. While American inventions
are welcomed. the necessity for having the
best possible guns compels the acceptance
of the latest Improvements and most
thorough designs wherever they may

1T MIGHT HAVE BEEN.
What If Columbus Had Sailed
From an English Port.

| 1t is an exceedingly interesting problem
| atical question, "What might have been the
result had Columbus sailed ON his voyage
| of discovery under the patronage Of Henry
| the Seventh of England?" Henry did not
employ him.
To answer the question requires some
study of the condition of European coun-
tries. What was the population Of England |?
What was the condition of the population
in civil status and domestic comfort? What
was the temptation or inducement to go
abroad? What bonds Of human advantage
tempted the European emigrant to remain
abroad after the first wonder-glamor of
discovery had passed? Why was the New
World neglected during couple of centu-
RESP What Is the impulse of the change
which has come about within a few genera
tious?
Henry the Seventh was an energetic
monarch with almost absolute power. but
mserly and afraid Of risks. His accession
to the throne in 1856 ended the Wars of the
Roses, and having put down his enemies he
could have encouraged discovery as we'll as
colonization. The Cabots-John and Sc
bastian-gave him the opportunity for both,
after Columbus had shown the way, but the
King had little thought of parting with Eng
lishmen who might add to his glory abroad
but could not serve him at home. The pop
ulatlon of England in 1856 - long after
Columbus first voyage In 1492--is averaged
by Macaulay at between 5000, 900 and $780,
900. The Puritans and others had then
founded colonies in America, but the drain
was comparatively slight. At the time the
Cabots or other naygators could have
founded empires beyond the seas, about
100 years anterior, the population Of Eng
land was not possibly more than 100000.
North Of the Trent there was very wild
population, barely civilized. South of IL
the land was under sufficient cultivation for
the wants of the people. and for very
much larger number. If the people had
peace and contentment at home why should
they wish to leavep There was occupation
for all at home.
1t was because the English people ma
terally enjoyed some of these conditions Of
attachmen TO the mother country that the
discoveries of the Cabots. from Labrador to
Virginia, long remained unutilzed. Eng

1T ELEVATED SCIENCE.
The institutions of rlankind Were
Transformed.

The discovery of America is justly asso-
ciated with the name of Columbus. The
event is greater than the man. yet this does
not detract from the honor due to the dis
coverer. Ali discoveries and inventions are
growths by minute Increments, but they do
not reach a magnitude that commands wide
or universal attention until they have at
tanned to full growth, and he who brings
the discovery or invention to fruition is the
one to whom chief honor is given. Through
long centuries ancient scientific men had
taught the doctrine that the earth Is globe,
but only the few accepted the doctrine; the
many still believed the earth to be fiat
as it appears to be to the eye. To the
testimony of the senses was added the testi-
mony of all mythologies, for a fat earth

human thought and human life, aid which
influence shows no sign OF decreasing. The
effect of great thought or great discov-
cry may be compared in its progressive
effects to the successive ringlets caused by
a heavy body dropped on the calm surface of
lake. Extending gradually in larger but
fainter rings they at last compass the
whole surface to the remotest shores. again
to gradually fade away. But the discovery
of America has in no way diminished in it's
effects; the ringlets of waves upon the sur
face of the world at large are yet as power

Hardy Explorers Who May Have
Preceded Columbus.

The discovery Of this continent by Chris
topher Columbus, 1t will be readily con-
ceded, marks an epoch of singular inn
portance in the history of the world. In
the line Of geographical discovery nothing
can be compared with 1t in permanent value.
The difficulties that Columbus had to en-
counter, the obstacles that were thrown
In his way, and the courage and

cutting the object of his ambition,
