Leather Guns.

Leather guns are somewhat of q
curiosity, the honor of having in
vented them being a matter of dis
pute between the nations of Sweden
and Scotland. According to one ac-
count. they were built of the most
hardened leather, girt about with
hoops of iron and brass. According
to another. they had core of tin and
were bound round with cordage. In
neither case could they be expected
to last long, though we are told that
they could be brought to discharge"
as often as ten times in succession,
but when we reflect how few are the
rounds that can be fired from the
monster guns of our own day with
out renewal of the inner tube we can
not afford to sheer at the shortness
of their life.
They were at any rate mobile, for
they could be carried on a pony's
back or stacked together by the half
dozen in 'barricados of wood" borne
on wheels. Moreover. they did good
service more than once, as, for in
stance, at Newburn and at Cropredy
bridge. Later on they seem to have
fallen into disrepute, for we hear of
the Leather guns by which the king
and country hath been cheated"
though even at Killiecrankie Mackay
had some of "Sandy's stoups," as
they were called, with him. -Macmil-
lan's Magazine.
