An Electro Magnetic Cannon.

This recent invention is dependent for
its action upon the principle Of the force
Of attraction and repulsion as caused by
magnetism. A brass tube, 3 feet long,
21S inches in diameter and inch bore,
was wrapped with insulated wire along
its entire longth, the current flowing
through different sections of tho wind
ings in such manner as to cause the
bullets TO become temporary magnets.
which were attracted Ly the magnetic
lines Of force ahead of them and repelled
by those behind them, thus giving the
projectiles an increasing impetus as they
pass along the gun. The bullets are
thrown forward in much the Same man
ner as the armature Of an electric motor
is turned on its axis The cannon is
light, inexpensive, and its capacity for
throwing projectiles depends on the ra-
pidity Of loading the same. 1t is esti-
mated that five foot gun, requiring
500 volts and 100 amperes, will throw u
ono pound ball 1000 feet, with strik-
ing velocity of 100 pounds. Boston

life Martin Chuzzlewit, and his presen-
tation of the condition of the English
working classes In Hard Times. are
masterpieces, and bear witness that,
while not in any sense part of socie-
ty, and not taking any particular in
terest in its currents he was alive to
what was happening. One who reads
his Tale of Two Cities can't fail to see
from the opening chapters the explo-
sion that must inevitably follow. And
one who read The Chimes in his Christ
mas Stories better understands what is
now taking place in English politics.
The style of Dickens and irving are
much alike. only Dickens is more elab-
crate because he was a more minute
observer. Parts of the Sketch Book
and Pickwick have a striking family
resemblace, but whether Dickens bor-
rowed from the American author, as
Robert Louis Stevenson confessed to
doing, will probably not be known.
No library is complete without the
works of both authors.
