This forage plant which was intro

At distances up to 1000 yards the explo-

one and differs from the common shell In
being filled with bullets and having only
a sufficient bursting charge to rupture this
shell and release the bullets, which them
move with the velocity which the shell had
at the time OF bursting. To disable a man,
the bullet must have a striking velocity
of 500 feet per second. They are effective
at from 900 to 5000 yards.
Most of the firing Saturday was at 2500

A squad Of cavalry horse coming at full

made a target. Although at this distance
not one Of the horses was killed outright,
the wounds were of such a nature as to
demonstrate thoroughly that the shot Will
stop horses effectively, thus disabling in
the best possible manner almost any
amount Of cavalry that dare face It. Each
piece can be fired twice a minute, making
twelve shots per minute for a battery OF
six, which would sweep miles Of range
