BREECHLOADERS IN THE SPAN.
ISH ARMADA.

That there is very little new under
the sun has once more been proved
at Tobermory Bay, Null, where Capt.
Burns of Glasgow has, with the per-
mission of the Duke of Argyll, been
searching for relics of the Admiral of
Florence, one of the vessels of the
Spanish Armada, known to have been
blown up in 1888 in that far-away wa
ter. With the aid of an old chart the
diver went down into twelve fathoms
and came across a bronze breechload-
ing cannon Az feet long. inches in
diameter at the breech and bearing the
date 1868. The diver also discovered a
pistol heavily incrusted with lime. a
sword blade and a kedge anchor. The
relics viii be exhibited at the Glasgow
Royal Exchange on an early date.
Breechloading in artillery and small
arms is popularity supposed to be an in
vention OF the middle of last centu~y,
but such is by no means the case. In
a Dublin gunsmith's shop, at Cork hill,
is on view a breechloading rifle offered
to the British War Office at the close
of the eighteenth century. and rejected,
as it was considered to need too much
mmunition.-London Chronicle.
