A MEOtAEVAC NAVY,
The Q1eer Implements of Attack aAA
Defense That Were Used.

Defense That Were Used.
Very strange to modern eyes would
be the armament Of Great Britain's
medieval navy. The very names Of
many Of the implements Of attack and
defense sound queer. According to the
books. in the year 1887 the vessels Of
the navy were furnished with "es-
pringalds." ancient spring guns; "hau-
bergeons," coats Of mail: "bacinets,"
small helmets; bows, arrows. doublets,
targets; ''pavises." large shields placed
at the sides and serving the double
purpose Of protection against the sea
and against the enemy; lances and
firing barrels" As early as 1888
cannon formed part OF the armament
Of ships. and about 1872 guns and gun
powder were commonly used. Among
the stores belonging to one vessel Of
that time were three iron cannon with
Ave chambers. a hand gun and three
old stone bags. probably for shot An
other ship had an iron cannon with two
chambers and one brass cannon with
one chamber.
Among other implements Of war
used at that time were cannon
paviors' or stone shot throwers and
''murtherers." which were smaller and
threw any kind Of shot There were
also ''basilisks," port pieces" stock
fowlers.'' ''sakers" and 'bombards"
The bonbards were Of hammered iron,
made of bars welded and bound to-
gether with iron bands They threw
stone shot weighing between 40
pounds and 1856 pounds. A battery Of
these erected on slip Of land at the
naval battle Of ChioGgia n3SG, between
the Venetians and the Genoese did
great damage. They were loaded over
night and were fired IN the morning.
FroisSart tells Of lombard used at
one OF these ancient sIeges that might
be heard five leagues OF IN the day
time and ten at night The report OF
it was so loud that il seemed as IL all
the devils in he'll had broken loose"
Brass ordnance was first cast IN Eng
land in the year 1875. The pieces had
various names Many Of different
caliber were mounted On the same
deck. which mnst have caused great
confusion in action in finding for each
its proper shot

Rossi said the men entered his sa-

He said in respect to the liquor prob

the revenue more than their own bod

concluded his dissertation on the liq-

plea for the people of the North to de-

In regard to immigration he said
that he hoped the people of Indiana
