ARTILLERY.

Efforts are being made by the.
powers toward the adaptation of the.
automobile to the transportation of,
field artillery. 1t has been pointed
out that the idea of a self-moving
gun carriage for field guns was sug-
gested as early as the year 1869 by
the engineer, Cugnot. AT present
efforts are principally directed to the.
perfection of a form of automobile
suitable to take the place of horses,
in drawing the artillery wagons.
many different forms of ironclad au-
tomobtles, carrying light guns, have
already been invented and tested,
with more or less success, but,
it is said, the main problem is
