carries four which cost $4,000 each. One OF
these guns can fire two shots minute, and every
shot costs $500: thus in five MINUTES these four
cannon can discharge forty bombs at a cost OF
$4,000 The smaller cannon cost each SIS OOO and

five minutes the twelve cannon could discharge
shot TO the value of nearly s35 OOO.-Q4eslie's
